この博士プロジェクトは、ベルギーのゲンク市における都市エネルギー転換の参加型デザインを調査し、若者が制度的計画と地域コミュニティの間の仲介者として果たす役割を分析する。理論的枠組みとして日常生活の市民権、境界越境、境界オブジェクトを用い、実装ギャップを埋めるための若者の媒介機能と共創された境界オブジェクトの有効性を提案する。
English
This doctoral project investigates a participatory design initiative for urban energy transition in Genk, Belgium, analyzing the role of youth as intermediaries between institutional plans and local communities. Using theoretical frameworks of Everyday Lived Citizenship, Boundary Spanning, and Boundary Objects, it argues that co-designed boundary objects and youth mediation can address the implementation gap, fostering locally situated and socially inclusive outcomes.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
本論文は地域のエネルギー転換におけるコミュニティ参画の方法に示唆を与える。日本の自治体と住民の間にも同様のギャップがあり、若者を境界越境者として活用する概念は、過疎化・高齢化地域でのGX取り組みに応用できる可能性がある。ただしEU固有の事例であり、日本の文脈に応じた文化的翻訳が必要。
In the global GX context
This paper contributes to global GX discourse by highlighting participatory design and social inclusion in energy transitions, particularly the underutilized role of youth. It addresses the implementation gap often overlooked in techno-economic models, aligning with just transition principles that are increasingly relevant in TCFD/ISSB frameworks for social disclosures.
👥 読者別の含意
🔬研究者:Explores a novel social intermediary mechanism (youth) in energy transitions, offering a qualitative lens complementary to quantitative GX models.
🏢実務担当者:Provides practical insights for engaging youth in community energy projects, useful for local government and utility outreach teams.
🏛政策担当者:Suggests that energy transition policies should explicitly incorporate youth as boundary spanners to bridge institutional and local knowledge gaps.
📄 Abstract（原文）
Achieving deep decarbonisation requires transformative action, particularly at the neighborhood level, where implementation faces complex institutional, technical, and social barriers. A central challenge is bridging the persistent knowledge and communication gap between institutional actors and local citizens, especially vulnerable households whose situated experiences often clash with abstract policy mandates. This doctoral project investigates a participatory design (PD) project focused on the urban energy transition in Genk, Belgium, analyzing the critical function of youth mobilized as intermediators (or boundary spanners) between institutional plans and their local, multi-generational, and superdiverse communities. This proposal details the project's theoretical scaffolding—Everyday Lived Citizenship (ELC), Boundary Spanning, and Boundary Objects (BOs)—its PD trajectory, progress to date, and the core ethical and political challenges currently being faced. We conclude that foregrounding the intrinsic mediating role of youth, underpinned by co-designed Boundary Objects, offers a viable pathway for addressing the implementation gap, allowing for locally situated and socially inclusive outcomes.
