Purpose

This study aims to reflect on the interactions that result from the use of the seacoast in a small touristic town in Argentina. Agents in conflict are both beach users: on the one hand, tourists that enjoy sunbathing and, on the other hand, the artisanal fishermen who use the seacoast as a space for the circulation of tractors and boats and commercialization of their production in informal conditions. The case aimed to provide evidence on social innovation as a mobilizer of the creativity of citizens, the organizations of the third sector and public and private actors for the development of new solutions and better use of common resources.

Design/methodology/approach

This paper followed the methodology of the centre for research on social innovations (as per its initials in French) as proposed by Tardif and Harrisson (2005). The fieldwork was carried out with interviews to the stakeholders, visits of recognition and direct participation in the territory.

Findings

The paper provides empirical insights about how an overarching project arises from agreements between stakeholders and a public policy that promotes it. Governance mechanisms to promote sustainable fisheries, to create cooperative management methods and to support alternative livelihood programmes are essential for preventing conflicts and mitigating their impacts on fishing communities.

Originality/value

The value of this paper is to show how social innovation can emerge from civil society initiatives and how the state can create conditions to favour it, participating and cooperating in a process of co-construction.

沿海旅游城市的社会创新：以阿根廷为例

目的

这项研究旨在反思在阿根廷的一个小旅游小镇中使用海岸所产生的相互作用。冲突的动因都是海滩使用者：一方面，游客享受日光浴，另一方面，手工渔民利用海岸作为拖拉机和船只的流通场所，并在非正式条件下商品化。该案旨在为社会创新提供证据，以动员公民，第三部门的组织以及公共和私人行为者的创造力，以开发新的解决方案并更好地利用公共资源。

设计/方法/方法

本文采用了塔迪夫和哈里森（Tardif and Harrisson，2005）提出的社会创新研究中心的方法（按照法文首字母缩写）。进行实地调查时，对利益相关者进行了访谈，对表彰的访问以及对领土的直接参与。

发现

本文提供了有关利益相关方与促进该项目的公共政策之间如何达成总体项目的经验性见解。促进可持续渔业，建立合作管理方法和支持替代生计方案的治理机制对于防止冲突和减轻其对捕捞社区的影响至关重要。

创意/价值

本文的价值在于表明，社会创新如何能够从公民社会的倡议中产生出来，以及国家如何创造条件以支持它，在共建过程中参与和合作。
