A Participatory Action Research Using Affective Mapping to Promote Forest Commoning
Community-based forest policies are being implemented all around the world, but the engagement of local communities is not always ideal. This research article seeks to explore the role of affective relations in incentivising participation. It narrates the Participatory Action Research (PAR) conducted in a rural community (Ansiães, north Portugal) with low levels of participation. Ansiães is a mountainous parish district with a baldio (a historica…
Becoming a Care-Tizen: Contributing to Democracy Through Forest Commoning
This paper aims to expand current understandings on the relationship between forest commoning, citizenship and democracy. For doing so, it presents a case study of a community forest in the periphery of Vigo city (Galicia, Spain). Using interviews and historical records of the city and the neighborhood, the paper tells the story of the emergence of a forest commons in relation to citizenship claims and struggles. Through time, communal practices …
Re-building historical commons: How formal institutions affect participation in community forests in Galicia, Spain
There has been considerable research studying how the formal institutionalisation of community forests affects participation of local communities. This paper studies a historical commons in Galicia in order to provide insight into how formal institutions are enmeshed with a forestry logic and how this shapes community participation in historical commons in Europe. More specifically, we offer an alternative explanation for low levels of participat…
Place-Based Policies for Sustainability and Rural Development: The Case of a Portuguese Village “Spun” in Traditional Linen
In recent decades, European rural development policies have transitioned toward a more place-based approach. This claim rests on the assumption that the diversity of resources within rural areas can be a potential source for place-shaping practices and sustainability. Moreover, this shift away from a top-down sectorial toward a more territorial focus has also shed light on the importance of agency, relations, and how people engage. Many rural are…
Operationalising transformative sustainability science through place-based research: The role of researchers
Among scholars in sustainability science, there is an increasing recognition of the potential of place-based research in the context of transformative change towards sustainability. In this research, researchers may have a variety of roles; these are determined by the researcher’s engagement with the subject, the inherent theoretical, normative and methodological choices he or she makes, the researcher’s ambitions in contributing to change, and e…
Historical commons as sites of transformation. A critical research agenda to study human and more-than-human communities
The role of scenarios in fostering collective action for sustainable development: Lessons from central Romania
Exploring the knowledge landscape of ecosystem services assessments in Mediterranean agroecosystems: Insights for future research
