The importance of deliberation in valuing ecosystem services in developing countries - evidence from the Solomon Islands (2011, background): “Such processes are important for enhancing learning at a range of scales, promoting adaptive capacity for responding to complex social and ecological issues, and for promoting more equitable decision-making (Armitage et al., 2008; Fazey et al., 2010; Folke et al., 2005; Pahl-Wostl, 2009).”
An indicator framework for assessing livelihood resilience in the context of social–ecological dynamics (2014, background): “Armitage et al. (2008) show that this capacity can be captured by examining whether face-to-face learning is triggering single, double or triple loop learning; this means to trace back to what degree cognitive learning turns into social learning by not only identifying institutional and structural…”
Adaptive Comanagement: a Systematic Review and Analysis (2012, result): “This finding is consistent with observations about the “paradox of learning” in ACM more generally by Armitage et al. (2008).”
Stakeholder mapping for the governance of biosecurity: a literature review (2015, background): “…spreads and can be managed, it is necessary to understand the conditions, processes and sorts of practices that influence how people learn, and through what channels and sources people change their understanding and management practice (Fazey et al. 2006; Armitage et al. 2008; Reed et al. 2011).”
Transformational change: governance interventions for climate change adaptation from a continuous change perspective (2017, background): “…transformational change also requires innovative governing strategies and the development of new governance intervention repertoires (Pahl-Wostl et al. 2007; Pelling 2010; Berkhout, Hertin, and Gann 2006; Kates, Travis, and Wilbanks 2012; Armitage, Marschke, and Plummer 2008; Wise et al. 2014).”
Evolution of co-management: role of knowledge generation, bridging organizations and social learning. (2009, background): “How do they proceed from simple, instrumental learning, to learning-to-learn and double-loop learning that requires a shift in perspective (Armitage et al., 2008)?”
Toward more flood resilience: is a diversification of flood risk management strategies the way forward? (2016, neutral): “…to sustain itself through learning-by-doing and cooperation and to avoid collapse, while enhancing a system's capacity to respond to changing circumstances” (Den Uyl and Driessen 2015:189, based on Walters and Holling 1990, Lee 1993, Berkes et al. 2003, Olsson et al. 2004, Armitage et al. 2008).”
Leverage points for sustainability transformation (2017, background): “In particular, the importance of integrating stakeholder perspectives into decision-making and associated challenges, such as power relations, conflicting interests, and epistemological differences, have been widely addressed (e.g. Armitage et al. 2008).”
Placing Transdisciplinarity in Context: A Review of Approaches to Connect Scholars, Society and Action (2019, background): “Proposed CAM benefits include both those of adaptive management including more rapid and reliable learning that decreases ecological uncertainty and increases management effectiveness [121], and benefits associated with collaboration, such as incorporation of a wider range of knowledge and perspecti”
Resilience in social–ecological systems: the roles of learning and education (2010, background): “Managing for change implies new strategies to advance sustainability that, on the one hand, avoid the pitfalls of managing for stable state endpoints, while on the other hand support human progress within ecological limits (Armitage, Marschke, and Plummer 2008 ; Folke, Colding, and Berkes 2003 ; F”
Learning in Adaptive Management: Insights from Published Practice (2014, background): “…and Boone 2007); a solution to communication breakdowns within and between agencies (McCook et al. 2010); a learning tool to increase knowledge (Armitage et al. 2008); a method to tap into traditional and indigenous knowledge (Berkes et al. 2000); a way to link monitoring to decision…”
The Learning Dimension of Adaptive Capacity: Untangling the Multi-level Connections (2010, background): “... is doing the learning?) (Armitage et al. 2008; Easterby-Smith et al. 2000), lack of attention to multi-level learning, i.e., learning at multiple levels of social organization (What are the relationships among individual and the various levels of collective learning?) (Bapuji and Crossan 2004; P”
Crop–livestock integration beyond the farm level: a review (2016, background): “One key challenge is to structure the design process so that it promotes social learning and collective action (Armitage et al. 2008; Newig et al. 2008; Pahl-Wostl and Hare 2004).”
Integrating local and scientific knowledge for environmental management. (2010, methodology): “This view is reflected in the approaches of adaptive co-management (Folke et al., 2005; Armitage et al., 2007, 2008, 2009; Berkes, 2009), trans-disciplinary planning (Tress et al., 2006), community-based natural resource management (e.g., Kellert et al., 2000; Blaikie, 2006; Robinson, 2006a,b),…”
Anticipatory Learning for Climate Change Adaptation and Resilience (2010, background): “They include Lewin’s (1946) series of spirals of steps in AR, as well as various forms of single, double, and triple feedback and loop learning (e.g., Kolb and Fry 1975, Argyris and Schön 1974, 1978, 1996, Keen et al. 2005, List 2006, Armitage et al. 2008).”
