Zusammenfassung |
This paper addresses the question of how hydrologists and other researchers
can contribute most to water management practice. It reviews the literature
in the field of science and technology studies and research utilization and
presents the results in the form of seven "rules" for researchers. These
are (1) Reflect on the nature and possible roles of science and expertise;
(2) Analyze the stakeholders and issues at stake; (3) Choose whom and what
to serve; (4) Decide on your strategy; (5) Design the process to implement
your strategy; (6) Communicate!; and (7) Consider your possibilities and
limitations. A key notion in this paper is that research always involves
selection and interpretation and that the selection and interpretations made
in a specific case always reflect the values and preferences of those
involved. Collaboration between researchers and the other stakeholders can
increase the legitimacy and utilization of the research and can prevent the
researchers' specific expertise from being lost. |
