More research is needed to properly represent social-ecological system (SES) interactions that support the integrity of biological and cultural, i.e., biocultural, relationships in places experiencing environmental, economic, and social change. In this paper we offer a novel methodology to address this need through the development of place-based indicators and engagement of young people as coresearchers in two communities that rely on resource extraction industries (specifically, oil and gas) in Canada and South Africa. Young people’s SES experiences were explored through a suite of participatory qualitative methods, including Q methodology, visioning exercises, ESRI Survey 123, participatory mapping and photography, and spatial image capture via unmanned aerial vehicles, i.e., drones. These methods support a biocultural approach to SES research that seeks to better understand the significant SES relationships at stake in changing environmental, economic, and social context. Here we present our research process and conclude that a focus on place supports the feedback loop between existing SES frameworks and local experiences. We suggest that this methodology can be amended for diverse localities and unique populations to support the development of efficacious policies, SES management, and community efforts toward building resilience, sustainability, and well-being of both humans and natural environments.

生物文化视角下的社会生态复原力:支持全球目标和地方优先事项的参与式方法

需要更多的研究来正确地表示支持生物和文化完整性的社会生态系统 (SES) 相互作用,即在经历环境、经济和社会变化的地方的生物文化关系。在本文中,我们提供了一种新颖的方法来满足这一需求,方法是开发基于地点的指标,并让年轻人作为核心研究人员参与加拿大和南非两个依赖资源开采行业(特别是石油和天然气)的社区。年轻人的 SES 体验是通过一套参与性定性方法来探索的,包括 Q 方法、愿景练习、ESRI 调查 123、参与式地图绘制和摄影以及通过无人驾驶飞行器(即无人机)进行的空间图像捕获。这些方法支持 SES 研究的生物文化方法,该方法旨在更好地了解在不断变化的环境、经济和社会背景下的重要 SES 关系。在这里,我们展示了我们的研究过程并得出结论,对地方的关注支持现有 SES 框架和本地经验之间的反馈循环。我们建议可以针对不同的地区和独特的人群修改这种方法,以支持制定有效的政策、SES 管理和社区努力,以建立人类和自然环境的复原力、可持续性和福祉。在这里,我们展示了我们的研究过程并得出结论,对地方的关注支持现有 SES 框架和本地经验之间的反馈循环。我们建议可以针对不同的地区和独特的人群修改这种方法,以支持制定有效的政策、SES 管理和社区努力,以建立人类和自然环境的复原力、可持续性和福祉。在这里,我们展示了我们的研究过程并得出结论,对地方的关注支持现有 SES 框架和本地经验之间的反馈循环。我们建议可以针对不同的地区和独特的人群修改这种方法,以支持制定有效的政策、SES 管理和社区努力,以建立人类和自然环境的复原力、可持续性和福祉。
