How to Make the Invisible Visible? Applying the Social Capital Assessment Tool in a Beekeepers’ Cooperative in the Maule Region (Chile)
This article introduces the Social Capital Assessment Tool for Peasant and Agricultural Cooperatives (SCAT-PACs), an innovative methodology consisting of 44 composite indicators grouped into 15 dimensions, three of which derive from social network analysis. The tool was applied in a beekeepers’ cooperative in the Maule Region (Chile) to test its empirical applicability. The results reveal medium levels of structural social capital (67.49/100) a…
Detecting social‐ecological fit in Natura 2000 governance and management: Evidence from Life projects focused on forest protected habitat types
Protected areas represent complex social‐ecological systems that require governance and management approaches that valorise and enhance positive relationships between people and nature. This study analyses the alignment between social and ecological systems to detect the social‐ecological fit of projects focused on biodiversity conservation and management. As a case study, the study analyses interactions between projects cofunded by the LIFE Prog…
Using the life satisfaction approach to economically value the health and wellbeing benefits of forest and green space visits in Italy
Probabilistic network analysis of social-ecological relationships emerging from EU Life projects for nature and biodiversity: An application of ERGM models in the case study of the Veneto region (Ital…
Considering social-ecological relationships in managing protected areas is fundamental to ensuring effective biodiversity conservation and restoration governance. Network analysis offers valuable methods to disentangle intangible relations between and within the social and ecological systems. In this way, it could be possible to identify and integrate multiple social and ecological variables that inevitably affect collaborative environmental gove…
Social innovation: A preliminary exploration of a contested concept
This paper explores the contested concept of social innovation by using the ideas of discourse and framing as a lens to explore the contested definitions of social innovation. A selection of definitions is then deconstructed in relation to these discourses and framings. It is argued that the political pressures which create interest in social innovation have resulted in a confused and contested series of definitions, which remain largely unconnec…
Social capital and rural development research in Chile. A qualitative review and quantitative analysis based on academic articles
Municipal transitions: The social, energy, and spatial dynamics of sociotechnical change in South Tyrol, Italy
With the aim of proposing recommendations on how to use social and territorial specificities as levers for wider achievement of climate and energy targets at local level, this research analyses territories as sociotechnical systems. Defining the territory as a sociotechnical system allows us to underline the interrelations between space, energy and society. Groups of municipalities in a region can be identified with respect to their potential pro…
