A diagnostic approach for going beyond panaceas

“Ostrom (2007) claimed that the problems linked with social-ecological systems require serious study which take account of complex, multivariable, non-linear, cross-scale, and changing systems.”

“These human-controlled structures are a central subsystem of the SES, and the complexity of the biophysical structures of human society has inspired researchers to use the concept metabolism to describe the energy- and material-related processes that are under human control, including industry, agriculture, or final u…”

“A crucial task in human adaptation research, therefore, is to move beyond individual ethnographies and case studies to a mode of comparative analysis that can examine and explain such differences and guide the creation of effective, place-based responses to environmental challenges (Ostrom, 2007; Loring et al., 2008).”

“…paradigm, i.e. the socio/social-ecological system (SES) (Gallopin et al., 1989; Berkes and Folke, 1998; Anderies et al., 2004; Young et al., 2006; Ostrom 2007, 2009; Petrosillo et al., 2015), also known as the coupled human-environment system (Turner et al., 2003) and the coupled human and…”

“In the case of tourism, this involves conceptualising tourism as a social-ecological system (Ostrom, 2007) that relies on natural resources (Cole & Browne, 2015; mai & Smith, 2015), interacts with landscapes (heslinga et al.”

“…control, cultural services such as spiritual and recreational benefits, and supporting services, such as nutrient cycling Berkes and Folke, 1998, Ostrom (2007, 2009) Social-ecological systems (SES) Linked systems of people and nature, where social systems and ecosystems co-develop and adapt,…”

“There are no governance panaceas or blueprints that ensure ideal social and ecological outcomes in resource management (Ostrom 2007).”

“Ostromdeveloped the SESFwith the intention of applying it widely to a variety of resourcemanagement problems.”

“These insights also emphasize cross-scalar institutional influences on system dynamics in any initiative to govern a shared resource (Ostrom, 2007).”

“Although panaceas are illusory (Ostrom 2007), research suggests that some governance structures and practices support SES adaptability and transformability better than others (Yohe and Tol 2002, Dietz et al. 2003, Brooks et al. 2005, Gallopin 2006, Engle 2011, Pahl-Wostl 2017).”

“Subsequent revisions of the IAD framework allowed for more nuanced attention to social, economic, political, and ecological variables, interactions, and feedbacks (Ostrom 2007, 2009, McGinnis and Ostrom 2014).”

“Conceptualizing and operationalizing the integrated framework to agri-food system analysis Agri-food system as SES under food sovereignty Following Ostrom (2007, 2009), we propose to first identify the boundary and the ecological and social components of the agri-food system (see Fig.”

“…many of the successes and failures of environmental conservation action in SESs lie in the ability to relate key human social interactions to conservation outcomes (Gunderson et al. 1995; Berkes et al. 2003; Folke 2007; Ostrom 2007; Bodin and Crona 2009; Vollan and Ostrom 2010; Dandy et al. 2014).”

“…Ostrom published the design-principles, case studies, comparative studies, experiments, and meta-analyses have yielded more variables (Agrawal 2002; Ostrom et al. 2002; Poteete et al. 2010), resulting in a more complex diagnostic framework for the study of social-ecological systems (Ostrom 2007).”

“The social-ecological systems framework (SESs) (Ostrom, 2007, 2009, Poteete et al., 2010) is arguably the most comprehensive conceptual framework for diagnosing interactions and outcomes in SESs (Partelow, 2018).”

“There exist different frameworks, languages, and theories between different disciplines, and linking these subsystems also requires collaborations between them and integration of different concepts, methods and modeling views [4,10].”

“, the research tradition on social-ecological systems (SES) [1, 157].”

“Contemporary challenges are complex, they are not simply social issues or ecological problems, and they cannot be solved with panaceas (Ostrom 2007, 2009).”

“ACT takes the systemic perspective and considers society to be made of social and ecological systems interacting with each other and with other SESs at lower and higher system levels (Gunderson and Holling 2002, Holling 2004, Ostrom 2007, 2009).”

“Ten of these variables consistently underpin the ability to self organize to manage CPR problems (see Supplementary material, Ostrom 2007) and are likely to be influential in developing adaptation pathways within marine governance and management.”

“Central to the framework is the action situation, defined as the social place where actors interact, make decisions, solve problems, or fight (Ostrom 2007).”

“Too often, they rely on one-size-fits-all management prescriptions and top-down, mono-disciplinary governance approaches, which fall short in addressing complex, transboundary ocean issues (Ostrom, 2007).”

“Yet, in regard to the how of multilevel governance, there is no simple blueprint (Ostrom 2007).”

“A multilateral landscape approach uses an adaptive rather than blueprint approach (Ostrom, 2007), recognizing the need to account for the diversity of resource stakeholders by using collaborative participation (Freeman, Duguma, & Minang, 2015), appreciating the multifunctional use of the same…”

“Their successful transfer to different contexts is challenging, necessitating adaptive management and governance, because environmental degradation and human responses are contextual and contingent (Berkes et al. 2003; Folke et al. 2007; Lebel et al. 2013; Lejano and Shankar 2013; MEA 2005b; Ostrom 2007; Prince 2010;…”

“These include those suggested by Ostrom (2007) as well as others: Strong local institutions, local participation, equitable distribution of economic benefits, and secure rights are key factors necessary for sustainable management of resources (Brooks et al. 2012).”

“One such framework involves the analysis of the socioecological systems (SES) (sensu Ostrom 2007, 2009), which contends that the sustainability of common resources is dependent upon and assessed through the analysis of a system’s social, economic and political settings, resources and units,…”

“Finally, SES offers a scientific, ecologically driven, systems-based governance perspective on social and ecological dimensions of dynamic social-ecological systems (Berkes et al., 2003; Ostrom, 2007).”

“To conduct our analysis, we used the Ostrom Institutional Analysis and Development (IAD) framework, which identifies the processes related to sustainability, the self-organization of people, and the role of different external drivers on the dynamics of SESs.”

“Understanding these changes within integrated socialecological systems is critical for developing effective responses, as drivers, impacts, and feedbacks among social and biophysical processes can lead to unexpected outcomes (Ostrom 2007, Turner et al. 2007, Lambin and Meyfroidt 2010).”

“Given the variation of policy impacts in different contexts and the lack of “policy panaceas” to resolve the overuse of natural resources (Ostrom, 2007), intelligent combinations of policy instruments, known as “policy mixes” (Howlett, 2004), are needed to conserve IFs.”

“…of small-scale fisheries might be defined at the level of policy units but that co-management arrangement should be fine-tuned at the level of the relevant social units concerned, and not by top-down prescriptions, as recommended by Ostrom (2007) and Armitage et al. (2008) among others.”

“While the results regarding farmer’s choices in West Virginia are interesting in and of themselves, their most significant contribution is to situate the choice of organic production in the context of a complex social-ecological system (Ostrom, 2007, 2009).”

“Ostrom and others have developed a valuable framework for identifying and organizing relevant variables that affect self-organization by resource users in SESs (Anderies et al. 2004, Ostrom 2005, 2007, 2009).”

“J. Schillinger et al. Geoforum 133 (2022) 101–116 interactions with related systems (Ackoff, 1994; Ostrom, 2007; Stephens & Hess, 1999).”

“More broadly, sustainability science has integrated these elements for more than a decade (Ostrom, 2007, 2009).”

“Nonetheless, they are not a panacea for CPR governance (Ostrom 2007; Ostrom et al. 2007).”

“Collective-choice rules frame the collective-choice situations where operational rules are defined, and constitutional rules affect the constitutional situations where collective-choice rules are crafted (Ostrom, 2007b).”

“Ostrom's elaboration of the components of SES [69,74] provides a useful approach to identify the range of”

“Plus récemment, les recherches mobilisant le cadre des Systèmes Socio-Ecologiques (Ostrom, 2007 ; McGinnis et Ostrom, 2014) ont mis en évidence le rôle de la dimension matérielle du territoire, et plus précisément des caractéristiques de la ressource considérée dans la coopération entre acteurs 7 (Agrawal, 2003 ; Thie…”

“Ostrom (2007) proposed a diagnostic method for SES using a nested, multitier framework involving resource system, resources units, users, and governance system.”

“This integral perspective gave rise to many theoretical discussions and a concomitant development of conceptual frameworks aimed at helping to orient research studies and decision making (e.g. Ostrom, 2007; Chapin et al., 2009).”

“in the Social-Ecological System Framework (SESF) (Ostrom 2007) social and governance structures affect the way in which actors behave and actors might be part of the governance system and shape it; ii) the ecological system is being defined based on its utility for humans i.”

“…often fail to sufficiently embrace the diversity of local settings and the complexity of ecosystems, leading to unanticipated side-effects that may result in poor natural resources management and environmental degradation (Ostrom 2007, 2011; Galaz et al. 2008; Hagedorn 2008; Mann & Absher 2014).”

“…conditions, may be able to establish internal regulations leading to sustainable use of the limited resource, that is, not overstepping its carrying capacity and being compatible with its regrowth rate (Baland and Platteau 1996, Berkes and Folke 1998, Ostrom 1990, Van Laerhoven and Ostrom 2007).”

“This case gives an impression of the challenges of reforming indigenous cooperative institutions and organizations, a task that has to recognize the complexity of the action situation in order to avoid scholars and policy makers falling into panacea traps (Ostrom 2007).”

“The low value they give to TDF is related to a low immediate productive value (Ostrom 2007).”

“There is no panacea formula for successful CBNRM (Ostrom 2007).”

“…the patterns of interactions and outcomes among a host of nonlinear and conceptually contrasting variables, such as resource use (and overuse), the implementation of policy, the distribution of infrastructure and wealth, conflict, directional change, and surprise (Mahoney 2000; Ostrom 2007).”
