Abstract
Formålet med dette studie er at vurdere, hvor modstandsdygtig den overordnede strategi for den danske byggebranches bæredygtige omstilling er – altså om omstillingsprocessen kan håndtere uventede ændringer. Analysen bygger på offentligt tilgængelige dokumenter fra de seneste tyve år (strategier, principper, retningslinjer, anbefalinger, regler og forsøgsprojekter) samt interviews med praktikere. Materialet tolkes gennem den konceptuelle ramme “Resilience of Sustainability Transitions”, som ser på, hvordan omstillinger kan bevares og tilpasses over tid. Fokus er på forudviklingsfasen, den tidlige fase som branchen aktuelt befinder sig i, og hvor der findes tilstrækkelige data. Undersøgelsen er kvalitativ: forfatterens vurderinger er guidet af objektive relevanskriterier som emne, betydning, afsenderinstitution og publiceringstidspunkt. Resultaterne bygger på ikke-kvantificerbare indsigter udledt af læsningen af materialet. Studiet bidrager til viden om bæredygtige omstillinger i socio-tekniske systemer ved at undersøge, hvilke forhold der kan understøtte fremdriften.
This study examines how resilient the Danish building industry’s overall strategy for the sustainability transition is—that is, whether the transition process can cope with unexpected changes. The analysis draws on publicly available documents from the past twenty years (strategies, principles, guidelines, recommendations, rules, and pilot projects) together with interviews with practitioners. The material is interpreted through the conceptual framework “Resilience of Sustainability Transitions,” which considers how transitions can be maintained and adapted over time. The focus is on the predevelopment phase, the early stage the sector is currently in and where evidence is available. The approach is qualitative: the author’s judgments are guided by objective relevance criteria such as topic, salience, issuing institution, and publication date. The findings are based on non-quantifiable insights derived from close reading of the material. The research contributes to knowledge on sustainability transitions in socio-technical systems by exploring which factors can support continued progress.
