This paper puts forward an analytical framework for collaborative and adaptive governance in dealing with so-called "wicked problems" in socio-ecological systems that are affected by industrial disasters. Wicked problems are dilemmas in social and political planning that resist clear definitions and predetermined solutions. An industrial disaster can be transformed into a wicked problem when organizations face institutional complexity, and multiple interests emerge during the damage-recovery phase whenever the available information is confusing. Mitigation actions are associated with incomplete knowledge of the various interests involved and with different perspectives on values. In this context, approaches to public, collaborative, and adaptive governance can help show how to proceed in the face of industrial disasters that turn into wicked problems. These governance regimes operate at multiple levels, consider interdependencies, integrate adjacent policies, promote innovation and social learning, and recognize that solutions are not unique but require continuous adjustments. In this paper, we draw up an analytical framework to enable transformative adaptations to be made to industrial disaster-recovery processes. The proposed framework has some applications for improving the handling of industrial disasters and therefore has relevance for those studying and managing disaster relief and resilience-planning.
本文提出了一个分析框架，用于应对社会-生态系统中受工业灾害影响的所谓“棘手问题”的协作和自适应治理。棘手问题是社会和政治规划中的困境，它们抵制明确的定义和预先确定的解决方案。当组织面临制度复杂性，并且在可用信息混乱时，在损害-恢复阶段出现多个利益时，工业灾害可能会变成棘手问题。缓解措施与对所涉及的各种利益的不完全了解以及对价值观的不同看法有关。在这种情况下，公共、协作和自适应治理方法可以帮助展示如何在工业灾害演变成棘手问题时采取行动。这些治理机制在多个层面上运作，考虑到相互依存关系，整合相邻政策，促进创新和社会学习，并认识到解决方案不是唯一的，而是需要不断调整。在本文中，我们制定了一个分析框架，以实现对工业灾害恢复过程的变革性适应。所提出的框架对改进工业灾害的处理具有一定的应用价值，因此对研究和管理灾害救援和弹性规划具有相关性。
