Archetypes of social-ecological-technological systems for managing ecological infrastructure

Explore our latest research on a case study focused on the application of ecological infrastructure in response to contemporary environmental concerns. The analysis of the canton of Geneva, Switzerland, has yielded spatially explicit archetypes of social-ecological-technological systems (SETS) to guide sustainable management amidst urbanization and biodiversity challenges.

The spatially explicit archetypes of SETS, unveiled through spatial patterns clustering and stakeholder engagement processes, provide a nuanced understanding of the multifaceted configurations of social, ecological, and technological elements within the landscape. By identifying clusters with similar characteristics, the research lays the groundwork for tailored policy recommendations aimed at effectively managing ecological infrastructure. The archetype analysis not only enhances our comprehension of landscape dynamics but also paves the way for coherent management strategies.
