چکیده

توجه به نقش مؤلفه‌های اجتماعی بر تعاملات آبی از ملزومات شناخت و مطالعه شرایط پویای حاکم بر مسائل آبی است. تفاوت در ویژگی‌های فرهنگی و هویتی جوامع منجر به ایجاد نگرش‌ها و ارزش‌های متعددی در مواجهه با مسائل آبی شده است. با وجود اهمیت بسزای نقش هویت اجتماعی بر تعاملات آبی، این مسأله در مدیریت منابع آب مورد غفلت جدی واقع شده شده است. شکاف تحقیقاتی مذکور منجر به طرح فرضیه پژوهش حاضر مبنی بر ارتباط مستقیم، متقابل و پویای هویت اجتماعی و شکل‌گیری مناقشات آبی شده است. هدف اصلی این پژوهش، واکاوی نقش هویت اجتماعی در برساخت مناقشات آبی در ضمن بهره‌برداری از منابع آب مشترک و فرامرزی است. برای آزمون فرضیه موردنظر  به مرور نظام‌مند منابع مرتبط در پایگاه‌های اطلاعاتی مختلف و واکاوی نحوه اثرگذاری متقابل هویت اجتماعی و مناقشات آبی پرداخته شد. بر اساس نتایج حاصل، مناقشه یک ویژگی ذاتـی و طبیعی در سیستم‌های آبی است و هویت اجتماعی و مناقشات مخرب/ سازنده آبی در ارتباطی متقابل و پویا با یکدیگر هستند. قطبی شدن هویت‌های اجتماعی در یک حوضه منجر به تقویت پتانسیل ایجاد مناقشات آبی خواهد شد. این در حالی است که  تلاش برای ایجاد هویت جمعی، زمینه‌ساز همکاری بین ذی‌مدخلان و مواجهه کارآمد با مناقشات آبی در حوضه‌های آبریز  مشترک و فرامرزی است.

چکیده [English]

The role of social components on socio-hydrological water interactions is one of the key elements and essential requirements for study and understanding complex water systems. Different cultural characteristics and diversity of identities in human societies have led to the development of diverse attitudes and values for dealing with water problems. Despite the considerable importance of the role of social identity on water interactions including conflict and cooperation, this issue has been seriously neglected in conflict management in water systems. This research gap has led to the hypothesis of the present study which states that there is a direct, mutual and dynamic relationship between social identity and the formation of water conflicts. The main purpose of this study is to investigate the role of social identity on water conflicts over shared and transboundary river basins. For this purpose, a systematic review of relevant resources in various databases was conducted. According to the results, conflict is an inherent and intrinsic characteristic in water systems. Besides, the social identity and destructive / constructive water conflicts are in a mutual and complex relationship. The polarized of social identities in a river basin will exacerbate the potential of water conflict. However, the effort to create a collective identity can lead to cooperation among stakeholders as well as effective dealing with water conflicts in shared and transboundary river basins.
