社会创新过程及其面临的局限

Limitations Encountered in Social Innovation Process

识别社会需求、解决社会问题是社会创新过程中的一个重要环节,同时也是社会创新过程面临的陷阱和局限所在。结合社区发展规划的案例以及社会需求和问题表现特征的分析发现,在需求和问题分析过程中,问题标准的不恰当性、问题主体参与不足、忽视需求和问题原因表现出的二重性、参与主体的缺失等会导致社会需求识别出现偏差,同时这些偏差将进一步影响社会创新的低效,以及易使社会创新方案局限在项目的操作层次。

It is an important step in social innovation process to identify social needs and solve social problems, in which the pitfalls and limitations of such process also exist. Focusing on analyzing this step through a casestudy of community development planning and the characteristics of social needs and problems, this paper argues that deviation could be resulted from insuffi- cient participation of stakeholders, inappropriate standards for problem, ignorance of duality of needs and problem causes, and absence of participation of stakeholders, which would result in low effective and efficient social innovation and usually limiting social innovation to operational level.
