主题范围

Land use systems are pivotal for fostering necessary sustainability transformations at local to global scales. However, knowledge about effective strategies to foster sustainability transformations of land use systems currently remain dispersed among highly contextualized case studies. This Focus Issue consolidates archetypes of sustainable land use and governance in order to provide a state-of-the-art knowledge resource to transform land use systems towards sustainability across world regions.

Archetypes of (un)sustainable land use and governance depict patterns of factors and processes that commonly shape the (un)sustainability of land use systems across cases and contexts. The archetypes approach is a methodological approach to generalize knowledge from cases and case studies in context-sensitive ways (Magliocca et al. 2018, Oberlack et al. 2019) and to build middle-range theories of land use systems (Meyfroidt et al. 2018). Archetype analysis can draw on a portfolio of methods (Sietz et al. 2019) and design criteria (Eisenack et al. 2019). Insights into archetypes can transfer knowledge about solutions for sustainable development across contexts (Eisenack 2012, Vaclavik et al. 2016, Sietz et al. 2017, Rocha et al. 2020).

This Focus Issue will advance knowledge about archetypes of (un)sustainability in four thematic priority areas of land use systems:

telecoupled land systems
land governance
farming systems
interactions between land, food, climate and biodiversity (e.g. with reference to Sustainable Development Goals)

This Focus Issue will address four major frontiers in current research on archetype analysis and transformations to sustainable land use systems: (i) advance middle-range theories of land use change and sustainable land use systems; (ii) spark methodological innovations in archetype analysis (e.g. innovative mixed methods approaches, integrate pattern identification, diagnosis and scenario building approaches; innovative ways of validation); (iii) targeted insights into scaling and transfer of sustainable land solutions; (iv) inspire change agents for transformations towards sustainable land use systems.
