Transition Scenario¶
Transition scenarios are descriptions of future states which combine a future image with an account of the changes that would need to occur to reach that future.
Core Idea¶
Transition Scenario is treated here as the recurring social sciences, humanities, and arts identity summarized by this source-grounded definition: Transition scenarios are descriptions of future states which combine a future image with an account of the changes that would need to occur to reach that future. Transition scenarios are descriptions of future states which combine a future image with an account of the changes that would need to occur to reach that future. These two elements are often created in a two-step process where the future image is created first (envisioning) followed by an exploration.
Scope of Application¶
-
Documented setting. Their requirements are guided by transition management concepts and consider the "fundamental and irreversible change in the culture, structure and practices of a system" (Sondeijker, 2009:52, ).
-
Scenario types. Scenarios can then be defined as "a tool for ordering alternative future environments in which one's decision may be played out".
-
Scenario types. Later generation scenarios focus on long time spans and preferred societal systems which are normative and explorative in nature and reflective of the structural and societal changes required in pursuing sustainability.
-
Content. Transition scenarios are informed by transition management concepts and theories which it uses as a basis for its contents.
-
Content. In particular, transition scenarios consider long time frames and are both normative and explorative in nature.
Clarity¶
A clear use of Transition Scenario names the carrier, the operative relation, and the conditions under which the source treats the identity as present. The minimal definition is Transition scenarios are descriptions of future states which combine a future image with an account of the changes that would need to occur to reach that future.
Manages Complexity¶
Transition Scenario compresses multiple social sciences, humanities, and arts details into a stable diagnostic relation. The source shows both the central mechanism—these two elements are often created in a two-step process where the future image is created first (envisioning) followed by an exploration of the alternative pathways available to reach the future goal (backcasting).—and the practical consequence—both these processes can use participatory techniques where participants of varying.
Abstract Reasoning¶
- Type the carrier. Identify the social sciences, humanities, and arts entities to which the claim applies.
- State the relation. Use the source-grounded identity: Transition scenarios are descriptions of future states which combine a future image with an account of the changes that would need to occur to reach that future.
- Check operation and conditions. Transition scenarios are also process orientated focusing on the ability of different stakeholders and participants to communicate and imagine their desired future within the discussion groups.
- Demand recognition evidence.
Knowledge Transfer¶
Within the home domain. Knowledge about Transition Scenario transfers literally when a new case preserves the same carrier type, relation, and recognition test. Their requirements are guided by transition management concepts and consider the "fundamental and irreversible change in the culture, structure and practices of a system" (Sondeijker, 2009:52, ). Scenarios can then be defined as "a tool for ordering alternative future environments in which one's decision may be played out". Beyond the home domain. No canonical parent is asserted for Transition Scenario.
Neighborhood in Abstraction Space¶
Transition Scenario sits in a moderately populated region (52nd percentile for distinctiveness): it has near-neighbors but no dense thicket of look-alikes.
