The question of how sustainable innovations and how niche experimentation lead to systemic changes are a core motivation of sustainability transitions research. As an inherently interdisciplinary field, although this question is addressed from different academic perspectives, the dominant understanding of relevant scaling processes is grounded in concepts of growth, diffusion and expansion. This article contributes to the discussion of more nuanced understandings of scaling, acknowledging the value of ontological levels for analytic purposes, but also drawing on knowledge from socio-psychological and spatial perspectives. Alternative understandings of spatial and agency-related scaling approaches are discussed and compared. An integrative socio-spatial framework is developed, providing a mid-range framework capable of supporting analysis of transitions that connects different disciplinary perspectives within a level-based ontology. We use an illustrative case study and derive implications for how this can inform questions of scaling and particularly spatial upscaling of new ways of doing, thinking & organizing

关于转型规模的跨学科视角:连接参与者和空间

可持续创新如何以及利基实验如何导致系统性变化的问题是可持续性转型研究的核心动机。作为一个内在的跨学科领域,尽管这个问题是从不同的学术角度解决的,但对相关缩放过程的主要理解是基于增长、扩散和扩张的概念。本文有助于讨论对尺度更细致入微的理解,承认本体论水平对分析目的的价值,同时也从社会心理和空间角度汲取知识。讨论和比较了对空间和机构相关缩放方法的替代理解。开发了一个综合的社会空间框架,提供一个能够支持转换分析的中端框架,该转换在基于层次的本体中连接不同的学科观点。我们使用一个说明性的案例研究,并得出这如何影响规模问题,特别是新的做事、思考和组织方式的空间升级问题
