“…Böcher and Krott (2010) have pointed out the meaning of trust in forest and environmental policy making and have elaborated models of interaction between scientific and politico-administrative arena (RIU-models). Stevanov et al (2013) have further applied RIU models in science-based policy advice trying to support them with detailed case studies. Further suggestions of letting these models function would be useful.…”

“…Research is understood as the production of specific knowledge by using scientific methods and standards (Stevanov et al 2013). The model reflects that high-quality research must be regarded as an important precondition for scientific knowledge transfer (Lentsch and Weingart 2011) because the quality of scientific expertise determines its credibility among and utilization by practitioners (Pregernig and Böcher 2012, p. 204).…”

“…Then we discuss the co-production model that is more appropriate, leading to our own alternative model of the RIU model. The RIU model was introduced and further developed by Böcher and Krott based on various research projects that addressed scientific knowledge transfer in environmental and forest policy in Germany , 2011, 2014aBöcher 2016;Böcher and Krott 2016;Heim and Böcher 2016) and Eastern Europe (Stevanov et al 2011;Stevanov et al 2013). It has been used to analyze Austrian research programs for sustainability (Böcher andKrott 2012, 2014a), the science-based activities of state forest research institutes in Japan and Sweden (Nagasaka et al 2016), and investigate scientific knowledge transfer in watershed and coastal management in Indonesia (Dharmawan et al 2016(Dharmawan et al , 2017.…”

The success of scientific knowledge transfer depends on if the decision maker can transform the scientific advice into a policy that can be accepted by all involved actors. We use a science-policy interactions model called research-integration-utilization to observe the process of scientific knowledge transfer in the case of endangered mangroves in Segara Anakan, Indonesia. Scientific knowledge is produced within the scientific system (research), science-based solutions to problems are practically utilized by political actors (utilization), and important links between research and utilization must be made (integration). We looked for empirical evidence to test hypotheses about the research-integration-utilization model based on document analysis and expert interviews. Our study finds that the failures in knowledge transfer are caused by the inappropriate use of scientific findings. The district government is expected by presidential decree to only used scientifically sound recommendations as a prerequisite for designing the regulation. However, the district government prefers to implement their own solutions because they believe that they understand the solutions better than the researcher. In the process of integration, the researcher cannot be involved, since the selection of scientific recommendations here fully depends on the interests of the district government as the powerful ally.

Stevanov et al (2013) had provided a new model of the science-based policy advice at two case organizations. Jørgensen and Messner (2010) had examined the relationship between strategy and accounting at one case company.…”

New requirements regarding agriculture production together with the increased pressure on environmentally friendly practices leave almost no space for the routine agriculture production. Innovations that include environmental changes are therefore essential. Agricultural research faces various challenges associated with the quality and eff ectiveness of agriculture production and recently also with the environmental and sustainability issues. Th e paper provides a case study focused on the environmental and social evaluation of a biological asset that constitutes an agricultural innovation. Th is paper also shows a concrete example of how the social and environmental reporting can be constructed and implemented by providing an evaluation of a Bumblebee Nest. As a result, the total value consisting of the market, ecosystem and aesthetic value is provided. Although the market value comprises the largest proportion of the total value, it does not exceed 64%.
