Social–ecological resilience (SER) and sustainable commons management (SCM) are process- and outcome-based paradigms for natural resource management. Resource management plans foster them, but traditional plan quality assessment typically omits process dimensions. We examined what constitutes an appropriate plan quality evaluation framework for resource management plans that reflect these SER and SCM paradigms. In order to create a plan quality instrument for assessing embedded SER and SCM processes, we employed a two-part methodology of a meta-ethnographic analysis and then used the results to augment current advances in plan quality evaluation to assess adaptation efforts. While methodologically novel in the academic planning canon, the meta-ethnographic approach has been used to inductively synthesize qualitative studies’ results in, for example, the fields of public health, medicine, and education. Our use advances plan quality evaluation with a new metric that combines the paradigmatic resource management strategies and addresses identified shortcomings in the more novel adaptive plan quality evaluation approach that builds on the former, traditional one.

新方法，新指标：使用元民族志为可持续和有弹性的社会生态系统创建计划质量框架

社会生态复原力 (SER) 和可持续公共资源管理 (SCM) 是基于过程和结果的自然资源管理范式。资源管理计划会促进它们，但传统的计划质量评估通常会忽略流程维度。我们研究了什么构成了反映这些 SER 和 SCM 范式的资源管理计划的适当计划质量评估框架。为了创建用于评估嵌入式 SER 和 SCM 过程的计划质量工具，我们采用了元人种学分析的两部分方法，然后使用结果来增强计划质量评估的当前进展，以评估适应工作。虽然在学术规划经典中方法论新颖，但元人种学方法已被用于归纳综合定性研究的结果，例如，公共卫生、医学和教育领域。我们的使用通过一种新的指标来推进计划质量评估，该指标结合了范例资源管理策略，并解决了建立在前者传统方法之上的更新颖的自适应计划质量评估方法中已发现的缺点。
