The Co-Production of Water Pollution Control Policies and Socio-Technical Systems at the Urban-Agricultural Interface

拟议的研究将审查水污染，政策执行，社会条件和技术发展之间的联系，在加州的城市农业接口。 拟议研究的目标是为未来水质政策的制定提供信息，并建立新的利益相关者合作。 它将研究为农业和城市景观设计的水污染控制政策和技术。拟议的研究将探讨他们运作的文化和政治背景。 它将研究社区对这些技术的价值和使用。拟议的研究将向决策者提供有关管理农业和城市用水的机构如何制定适应性污染控制战略的信息。此外，它将告知政策制定者，公民，农民，科学家和政府官员有关的决定，保持和改善城市农业社区的清洁水，拟议的研究将解决如何城市和农业景观的监管结构共同产生不同的和不平衡的水质系统。它将使用历史和混合的社会科学方法，包括访谈，文件审查，参与者观察和调查，以调查公平，治理，权力，规模和技术有关的问题，在加州的城市-农业界面的水污染。通过采用一个概念性的水景框架，拟议的研究将历史地分析城市和农业水污染政策，社会和技术系统的分裂轨迹，以及每个发展的空间。它将评估城市和农业社会技术系统之间和内部的分配影响和不平衡的权力关系。 此外，拟议的研究将调查目前在加州的城市-农业界面实施的一系列适应项目，其目标是描述新兴的共同财产资源治理制度及其相关的社会技术系统。

The proposed research will examine the linkages between water pollution, policy implementation, societal conditions and technological developments in California's urban-agricultural interface. The goal of the proposed research is to inform the development of future water quality policy and to forge new stakeholder collaborations. It will study water pollution control policies and technologies designed for agricultural and urban landscapes. The proposed research will explore the cultural and political contexts under which they operate. It will study communities' value and use of these technologies. The proposed research will provide information to policy makers about how agencies that regulate agricultural and urban water are preparing adaptation pollution control strategies. In addition, it will inform policy makers, citizens, farmers, scientists and government officials concerning decisions related to maintaining and improving clean water in urban-agricultural communities.The proposed research will address how the regulatory structures for urban and agriculture landscapes have co-produced different and uneven water quality systems. It will use historical and mixed social scientific methods, including interviews, document review, participant observation and a survey, to investigate issues of equity, governance, power, scale, and technology relating to water pollution in California's urban-agricultural interface. By employing a conceptual waterscape framework, The proposed research will historically analyze the split trajectories of urban and agricultural water pollution policies, social and technological systems, and the spaces within which each developed. It will assess the distributional impacts and uneven power relations between and within urban and agricultural socio-technical systems. In addition, the proposed research will survey a range of adaptation projects currently implemented in California's urban-agricultural interface with the goal of characterizing emerging common property resource governance regimes and their associated socio-technical systems.
