ABSTRACT Sustainability has emerged as a central concept for discussing the current state of the human-environment system and planning for its future. To delve into the depths of sustainability means to talk about ecology, economy, and equity as fundamentally interconnected. However, each continues to be colonised by normative epistemologies of ecological sciences, neoclassical economics, and development, suggesting that with enough science and development, a more equitable sustainability is achievable. In our analysis, place emerges as an alternative epistemology through which to analyze sustainability. Place exists at multiple spatial and temporal scales, understood through direct observation of boundaries, processes and patterns, phenomenologically through individual experience, and as a complex hybrid: always emerging through interactions among individuals and institutions. Despite the ubiquity of place in the socio-ecological literature, the complexity of place in relation to sustainability is under-theorised, and in as much as sustainability happens or does not happen in real places rather than in policies and models, a place-based sustainability framework is necessary to move forward. To address this gap, we developed the emplacement framework, consisting of four domains: displacement, misplacement, replacement, and emplacement. Each domain is dynamic, constructing place as praxis, and reframing sustainability as a site of collective inquiry and choices. Our goal is to facilitate the active and on-going practices of place-based research and engagement among scholars, activists, and other community members by providing a structure for transdisciplinary dialogue and the application of transdisciplinary research to enable better decision-making.

从地点到安置点：可持续性的标量政治

摘要 可持续性已成为讨论人类-环境系统当前状态和规划其未来的中心概念。深入研究可持续发展的深度意味着谈论生态、经济和公平，它们从根本上是相互关联的。然而，每一个都继续受到生态科学、新古典经济学和发展的规范认识论的殖民，这表明只要有足够的科学和发展，更公平的可持续性是可以实现的。在我们的分析中，地方作为一种替代认识论出现，通过它来分析可持续性。地方存在于多个空间和时间尺度上，通过对边界、过程和模式的直接观察来理解，通过个人经验从现象学上理解，并作为一个复杂的混合体：总是通过个人和机构之间的互动而出现。尽管地方在社会生态文献中无处不在，但与可持续性相关的地方的复杂性还没有被充分地理论化，而且可持续性发生或不发生在真实的地方，而不是政策和模型中，基于地方的可持续发展框架是向前迈进的必要条件。为了弥补这一差距，我们开发了安置框架，包括四个领域：位移、错位、置换和就位。每个领域都是动态的，将场所构建为实践，并将可持续性重新定义为集体探究和选择的场所。我们的目标是促进学者、活动家、
