“…We determined the structure of the toolbox to allow for analysis of the characteristics of outcomes brought about by the autonomous innovations and enablers of innovations. In designing the toolbox, we referred to the "Fisheries Management ToolBox", a database of bottom-up fisheries management practices used by fishers in Japan [34,35].…”

Vulnerable sectors of the population living in poverty in developing countries are highly dependent on renewable natural resources for their livelihoods and daily lives. Sustainable resource management, improving the well-being of vulnerable people, and building resilience to shocks are global challenges. This study analyzed the outcomes of various autonomous innovations by the people themselves and the enablers of these innovations in the communities of developing countries. This analysis of 20 autonomous innovations from six countries revealed that these innovations produced outcomes that simultaneously improved multiple indicators of human well-being, including “basic materials for a good life”, “safety”, “health”, and “good social relations”. The process of promoting public values, such as education, health improvement, and landscape conservation as a by-product of collective actions was an important enabler of these innovations, as well as the innovator’s proactive attitude toward continuous improvement. Public values and supporting ecosystem services were emphasized from the early stages of collective actions, to realize synergies toward integrated natural resource management. It is also important to achieve conditions in which collective actions could be practiced autonomously and adaptively. These results revealed the great potential of autonomous innovations emerging among socially vulnerable groups and the important mechanisms for promoting autonomous innovations for the transformation of social-ecological systems toward sustainable futures.

“…Recently, Eggert et al [16] developed the Fisheries Performance Index (FPI) [17] to measure the performance of fishery management efforts based on a unified SES analytical framework to make comparisons among 149 case studies. The Japan Fisheries Research and Education Agency (FRA) developed the "Fisheries Management Toolbox (Hama no Dougubako)," a tool for stakeholders to self-evaluate their own efforts in resource management compared with other successful cases for improving their own actions [18][19][20]. The European Commission and the European Environment Agency (EEA) developed Climate-ADAPT, a platform with a database of knowledge obtained from advanced initiatives, where stakeholders can follow the Climate-ADAPT guidelines to explore the knowledge of advanced practices, learn ideas and approaches, and implement their own initiatives [21].…”

Solving complex system challenges such as natural resource management in social-ecological systems (SESs) is fraught with great uncertainty. To cope with these challenges, socially vulnerable people in developing countries have created various autonomous innovations. This study focuses on the concept of leverage point (LP) to understand the emergence of innovations and the transformation mechanism of SESs. An LP is a part of a complex system where a small change can cause transformations in the entire system and can be identified from causal networks in an SES. This study analyzed the emergence processes of autonomous innovations as causal networks through transdisciplinary collaboration with innovators in communities and succeeded in visualizing the initial conditions, outcomes, and challenges. We constructed a new definition of LPs based on graph theory and classified LPs into three types based on their characteristics. The network analysis of the causal networks of two innovations in developing countries revealed that the three types of LPs functioned synthetically in complex systems to promote transformation. Based on these results, we propose the potential ways of interventions for the transformation of complex system networks including plural LPs and discuss their effectiveness as boundary objects in transdisciplinary processes collaborating with diverse stakeholders. Further research is expected to accumulate knowledge for solving the various challenges faced by SESs.
