Leverage Points for Meaningful Participation: A 5‐Point Framework From a Rural South African Landscape

Systems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Alternative forms of natural resource management are required. Participation of local actors is necessary but not sufficient, for moving away from the conventional top‐down approaches. This paper develops a 5‐point framework for enabling meaningful participation in rural landscape governance.

Designing Participatory Systems Interventions for Behavioural Change: Integrating Soft Systems Methodology, the Theory of Planned Behavior, and Experiential Learning

Systems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Small and medium‐sized enterprises (SMEs) operate within complex sociotechnical systems where behavioural change is shaped by interdependent cognitive, social and structural factors. This study examines a participatory systems intervention with food and beverage SMEs in a coastal tourism context in Vietnam.

Concrete in architecture: Redefining form, space, function, and insights from bibliometric analysis

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Concrete has become a cornerstone in architectural and engineering innovation, as it seamlessly integrates structural performance with artistic expression. Its evolution from ancient opus caementicium to contemporary ultra‐high‐performance concrete illustrates its adaptability to the change in technological, environmental, and design paradigms.

Influence of natural fibers on physical, mechanical, and fire‐resistant properties of microconcrete

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract This study examined the influence of natural fibers on the physical, mechanical, and fire‐resistant properties of microconcrete, in comparison with conventional polypropylene fibers used in cement composites. The fibers were characterized by FTIR and TGA/DSC to assess their composition and thermal stability, and FTIR was also performed after ...
