HydroCitizenship. Re envisioning and reconnecting communities as eco-social formations through arts and humanities centred interdisciplinary research.

这项研究经费提供了一个大型的艺术和人文为中心的跨学科研究团队的机会，继续在“社区，文化，环境和可持续发展研究发展研讨会，布里斯托，22-24 2012年5月”设想的合作研究的创新链的发展。该项目的目标是通过与其他相关学科（特别是地理、规划、景观设计和社区研究）合作，开展多方面的艺术和人文研究，从而发展水公民的概念。这项研究将涉及非HEI合作伙伴（景观研究所），并将与包括环境署，地方当局和其他水/环境重点机构在内的关键利益相关者共同开发。它将设在三个主要的国家科学和研究背景下：联合王国水研究和创新框架（UKWRIF）;国家生态系统评估（NEA）和为水创造空间（DEFRA 2005）。发展计划将探讨如何艺术和人文为中心的跨学科研究可以调查冲突，问题和潜力有关的水资源和社区内的基本问题。在此基础上，在社会和环境转型以及复原力方面对社区产生影响。将向学术界和政策界传播关于联合王国社区社会和环境可持续性共同发展的更广泛的调查结果。研究将侧重于如何将一系列价值观，如地方感，纳入新兴的生态系统服务和文化生态系统服务的政策/管理机构。该提案的一个基本原则是，超越社会的思考是任何旨在解决可持续性问题的大型互联社区倡议的重要组成部分。社区往往不了解为他们带来一系列生态系统服务（和洪水等风险）的系统，这包括水社会循环。水被视为环境关切和社会正义的一个基本和紧迫领域。水安全问题（洪水，干旱，水质，获取，基于水的生态系统服务）是当今英国和全球社区面临的最重要的问题。水问题将地方、区域、国家和全球领土联系在一起，并涉及社区内部和社区之间的多种生态社会相互依存关系。他们还提出了一些具有挑战性的问题，如社区是什么，它们如何在内部工作，它们如何嵌入更广泛的连通性网络（如河流集水区）。水问题还提供了非常明显的例子，说明个人和社区（人类和非人类）如何依赖物理过程，并被物理过程联系在一起。水是让社区参与解决与一系列引人注目的生态-社会挑战有关的可持续性问题的一种特别方便的方式。我们还寻求探索的挑战和移动水为重点的研究从单一问题焦点（洪水，干旱）的整体方法的好处，以及如何才能艺术和人文研究在这方面发挥了核心作用？

This research funding provides opportunities for a large arts and humanities centred interdisciplinary research team to continue the development of an innovative strand of collaborative research which was conceived at the "Communities, Cultures, Environments and Sustainability Research Development Workshop, Bristol, 22-24 May 2012". This has been subsequently developed in team meetings and email exchanges.The aim is to develop the notion of hydrocitizenship through a multi-faceted programme of arts and humanities research in collaboration with other related disciplines - particularly geography, planning, landscape design and community studies. This research will involve non HEI partners (Landscape Institute) and will be co-developed with key stakeholders including the Environment Agency, local authorities other water/environment focused agencies. It will be located in three major national science and research contexts; United Kingdom Water Research and Innovation Framework (UKWRIF); National Ecosystem Assessment (NEA), and Making Space for Water (DEFRA 2005). The development programme will explore basic questions about how arts and humanities centred interdisciplinary research can investigate conflicts, issues and potentials relating to water resources and within communities. And from that base, make a difference in communities in terms of both social and environmental transition and resilience. Broader findings regarding the co-development of social and environmental sustainability in communities in the UK will be disseminated to both academic and policy communities. The research will focus on how a range of values, such as sense of place, can be integrated into emerging polcy/goverencance agenca of ecosystems services and cultural ecosystem services. A basic tenet of this proposal is that thinking beyond the social is a vital element of any large Connected Communities initiative which seeks to address questions of sustainability. Communities are often not aware of the systems which bring them a range of ecosystem services (and risk e.g. flooding) and this includes hydro-social cycles. Water is taken as a fundamental and pressing area of environmental concern and social justice. Questions of water security (flood, drought, water quality, access, water based ecosystem services) are some of the most important facing communities today in the UK and globally. Water issues interconnect local, regional, national, and global territories, and relate to multiple eco-social interdependences within and between communities. They also ask challenging questions about what communities are, how they work internally, how they are embedded in wider networks of connectivity (e.g. in river catchments). Water issues also offer very palpable examples of how individuals and communities (human and non-human) depend on, and are linked by, physical processes. Water is a particularly accessible way to engage communities with questions of sustainability in relation to a range of high profile eco-social challenges. We also seek to explore the challenges and benefits of moving water focused research from single issue foci (flood, drought) to a holistic approach, and how can the arts and humanties research play a central part in this?
