This paper discusses the transformative role of people and the places which they inhabit. It advocates the richness and multiplicity of actors and understandings to drive sustainable place-shaping practices. Grounded in the interdisciplinary place-based conceptualisation of social innovation, the paper aims to progress a holistic conceptual framework which integrates the active processes of learning, experiencing, and regeneration to tackle the complex challenges of sustainability. The discussion argues for moving beyond the conceptual deliberations into practice-based research. The framework proposed brings together three different lenses: first, transformative learning as an approach to experiential pedagogy with focus on education and learning based in local communities and the surrounding places; second, experiencing place through sense-making to help people relate closely to their values and meanings of place; third, regenerative action to reverse and recuperate from the negative impact of humans on the environment and promote place stewardship. Through a dynamic combination of these processes, new socially innovative agency is created. Empirical examples of this agency have been captured in this paper from a series of projects which were part of the SUSPLACE programme. In conclusion, we associate the interactive nature of this agency with sustainable re-learning, re-experiencing, and re-generation processes to reshape places in a transformative way.

人和地方的变革性角色:通过社会创新进行学习,体验和再生行动

本文讨论了人们的变革性角色及其所居住的地方。它提倡参与者和理解的丰富性和多样性,以推动可持续的场所塑造做法。本文以跨学科的基于地点的社会创新概念为基础,旨在发展一个整体的概念框架,该框架整合了学习,体验和再生的积极过程,以应对可持续发展的复杂挑战。讨论主张从概念上的思考转向基于实践的研究。拟议的框架汇集了三种不同的视角:首先,将变革性学习作为一种体验式教学法,重点放在当地社区和周边地区的教育和学习。第二,通过感官体验场所,以帮助人们与其场所的价值和意义紧密相关;第三,采取再生行动,以扭转人类对环境的不利影响并使之恢复健康,并促进场所管理。通过这些过程的动态结合,可以创建新的具有社会创新意义的机构。本文是SUSPLACE计划的一部分,从一系列项目中获得了该机构的经验示例。总之,我们将这个机构的互动性与可持续的重新学习,重新体验和重新生成过程联系起来,以一种变革的方式重塑场所。
