本研究は、気候変動適応策としてのブルーグリーンインフラ（BGI）の普及障壁を、社会技術的移行理論を用いて分析。シドニーを事例に、行政・開発業者・技術者など多様な関係者によるフォーカスグループを実施し、5つの主要領域（ガバナンス、経済・金融、知識・技術、社会文化的態度、計画制度）での体制移行の必要性を明らかにした。システム思考による反復的学習プロセスとしての移行経路を提案している。
English
This study analyzes barriers to mainstreaming Blue-Green Infrastructure (BGI) for climate adaptation using Socio-Technical Transition theory. Through focus groups with planners, developers, and engineers in Sydney, it identifies five key domains requiring regime shifts: governance, economics, knowledge, socio-cultural attitudes, and planning. The paper proposes transition pathways as iterative learning processes using systems thinking.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
日本では、気候変動適応計画やグリーンインフラ推進施策が進む中、本論文のシステム思考アプローチは、自治体や企業の適応策統合に示唆を与える。ただし、直接的なGX開示や炭素会計とは距離がある。
In the global GX context
While not directly about carbon accounting or disclosure, this paper offers a systems-thinking framework for mainstreaming nature-based solutions, relevant to global climate adaptation and resilience planning under frameworks like the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) and the emerging ISSB standards.
👥 読者別の含意
🔬研究者:Provides a structured framework (STT + systems thinking) for analyzing barriers to nature-based solutions adoption, applicable to other urban contexts.
🏢実務担当者:Offers insights for urban planners and sustainability teams on the multi-dimensional regime shifts needed to mainstream BGI, beyond technical fixes.
🏛政策担当者:Highlights the need for coordinated policy across governance, finance, and planning to enable BGI, relevant for national adaptation strategies.
📄 Abstract（原文）
Blue-Green Infrastructure (BGI), as a Nature-Based Solution, is one of the key approaches to addressing climate change impacts and urbanization challenges. By enhancing urban resilience through sustainable stormwater management and flood risk mitigation, BGI also delivers diverse ecosystem services. However, despite its multiple benefits and co-benefits, BGI still remains far from mainstream adoption.We adopted Socio-Technical Transition (STT) as the theoretical framework of our research to investigate the barriers to BGI adoption and to explore the transition pathways to it. Using Sydney as a case study, we designed and facilitated two focus groups involving planners, decision-makers, stakeholders, developers, and engineers from various entities such as state and local governments, agencies, councils, and corporations. Thematic and content analysis of the focus group data was conducted and synthesized with existing published literature.Building on these findings, we argue that this is a wicked problem and a complex situation that requires a Systems Thinking approach to holistically integrate all the findings into designing transition pathways to facilitate mainstreaming BGI.The results indicate that transitions to BGI depend on regime shifts in five key domains: (1) Governance, institutional organisation and collaboration, (2) Economics and finance, (3) Knowledge, expertise and technical aspects, (4) Socio-cultural Attitudes, and (5) The planning regime. Acknowledging the complexity of this process, it should be approached as an iterative, continual learning experience—an "infinite loop" of probing, sensing, and responding. This research underscores the necessity of adopting STT through systemic interventions to overcome practical barriers and facilitate the widespread uptake of BGI in urban environments.
