“…Newig et al (2019) use archetype analysis to develop a theoretical argument about sustainability pathways. Several studies work with original empirical material to identify a whole suite of archetypes to explain or sort out phenomena in their cases (Karrasch et al 2019, Moser et al 2019, Villamayor-Tomas et al 2020b, Wang et al 2019. Other papers identify whole suites of archetypes through meta-studies of secondary sources (Gotgelf et al 2020, Horcea-Milcu et al 2020, Tribaldos et al 2020.…”

“…Finally, archetypes are useful to rethink positions in sustainability research. Karrasch et al (2019) assess stakeholder perceptions of land-use and ecosystem services to identify conflicting perspectives in participatory processes. Horcea-Milcu et al (2020) identify points of convergence and divergence of archetypal concepts in research on sustainability transformations, and Tribaldos et al (2020) show under which conditions intense stakeholder interactions in knowledge coproduction in different phases of research is associated with sustainable impacts.…”

Recent years have seen a proliferation of studies that use archetype analysis to better understand and to foster transitions toward sustainability. This growing literature reveals a common methodological ground, as well as a variety of perspectives and practices. In this paper, we provide an historical overview of the roots of archetype analysis from ancient philosophy to recent sustainability science. We thereby derive core features of the archetype approach, which we frame by eight propositions. We then introduce the Special Feature, "Archetype Analysis in Sustainability Research," which offers a consolidated understanding of the approach, a portfolio of methods, and quality criteria, as well as cutting-edge applications. By reflecting on the Special Feature's empirical and methodological contributions, we hope that the showcased advances, exemplary applications, and conceptual clarifications will help to design future research that contributes to collaborative learning on archetypical patterns leading toward sustainability. The paper concludes with an outlook highlighting central directions for the next wave of archetype analyses.

“…We used two sets of cases, i.e., interviews and districts, and their two corresponding sets of attributes, cognitive and spatial attributes, respectively. In general, attributes selection can be guided by qualitative literature review (Václavík et al 2013, Sietz et al 2017, grounded in existing theories (Oberlack et al 2019, Rocha et al 2020, or derived by inductive bottom-up knowledge (Karrasch et al 2019). We used the last approach to limit the biases of pre-existing theories, and we built on purely empirical knowledge.…”

“…Archetype analysis is used in sustainability science to identify patterns of similar conditions with the aim of supporting the scaling of sustainability solutions (Eisenack et al 2019. We propose a multimethod approach combining cognitive archetypes, which provide insights on social-ecological dynamics based on stakeholders' perceptions (Karrasch et al 2019), with spatial archetypes, which delineate areas of generalizability for such dynamics. The results can be used by local and national policy makers to develop context-specific plans to scale up SLWM, thus rationing resources to support wide adoption and speeding the transition to sustainable agriculture.…”

In African small-scale agriculture, sustainable land and water management (SLWM) is key to improving food production while coping with climate change. However, the rate of SLWM adoption remains low, suggesting a gap between generalized SLWM advantages for rural development across the literature, and the existence of context-dependent barriers to its effective implementation. Uganda is an example of this paradox: the SLWM adoption rate is low despite favorable ecological conditions for agriculture development and a large rural population. A systemic understanding of the barriers hindering the adoption of SLWM is therefore crucial to developing coherent policy interventions and enabling effective funding strategies. Here, we propose a cross-scale archetype approach to identify and link barriers to SLWM adoption in Uganda. We performed 80 interviews across the country to build cognitive archetypes, harvesting stakeholders' perceptions of different types of barriers. We complemented this bottom-up perspective with a spatial archetype analysis to contextualize these results across different social-ecological regions. We found poverty trap, overpopulation, risk aversion, remoteness, and post-conflict patriarchal systems as cognitive archetypes that synthesize the different dynamics of barriers to SLWM adoption in Uganda. Our results reveal both specific and cross-cutting barriers. Ineffective extension services emerges as a ubiquitous barrier, whereas gender inequality is a priority barrier for large supported farms and farms in drier lowlands in northern Uganda. The combination of cognitive and spatial archetypes proposed here can help to overcome ineffective "one-size-fits-all" solutions and support context-specific policy plans to scale up SLWM, rationing resources to support sustainable intensification of agriculture.

“…New approaches to identifying typical combinations of land uses and the bundles of (dis)services they produce also have considerable potential to provide novel insights into spatial associations of hunting and other land uses, thereby allowing smarter landscape planning (Karrasch et al 2019, Sietz et al 2019. For example, spatial clustering can map archetypical landscapes according to the extent and intensity of major land uses (Václavik et al 2013, Levers et al 2018, providing useful spatial templates for assessing landscape multi-functionality (Stürck and Verburg 2017).…”

Hunting as land use: Understanding the spatial associations among hunting, agriculture, and forestry

Hunting is a widespread but often overlooked land-use activity, providing major benefits to society. Hunting takes place in most landscapes, yet it remains unclear which types of landscapes foster or dampen hunting-related services, and how hunting relates to other land uses. A better understanding of these relationships is key for sustainable land-use planning that integrates wildlife management. This is particularly urgent for Europe, where wildlife populations are increasing. Focusing on Sweden, we explored the spatial associations among hunting, agriculture, and forestry to identify archetypical combinations of these land uses. Specifically, we combined indicators on the extent and intensity of agriculture and forestry, with data on hunting bags for 63 game species using selforganizing maps, a non-parametric clustering approach. We identified 15 typical bundles of co-occurring land uses at the municipality level across Sweden. The harvest of forest grouse, bears, and moose co-occurred with forestry in northern Sweden, whereas the harvest of small game, different deer species, and wild boar co-occurred with agriculture across southern Sweden, reflecting species' biology, environmental factors, and management. Our findings also highlight the strength of associations among hunting and other land uses. Importantly, we identified large areas in central Sweden where harvest of game was below average, possibly indicating that intensity of hunting is out of balance with that of agriculture or forestry, potentially fostering conflict between wildlife and land use. Collectively, our results suggest that (1) hunting should be considered a major land use that, in Sweden, is more widespread than agriculture and forestry; (2) land-use planning must therefore integrate wildlife management; and (3) such an integration should occur in a regionalized manner that considers social-ecological context. Our approach identifies a first spatial template within which such context-specific land-use planning, aiming at aligning wildlife and diverse land uses, can take place.
