| Abstract: | Despite the proven potential of the nature-based solution of wetland restoration as an effective method of mitigating the natural calamities such as floods, droughts and global warming through carbon emissions, globally due to climate change, their widespread application is still limited. Various socio-technical factors have identified worldwide as the major barriers for it. Therefore, this study aims to explore about the socio-technical challenges occurred in the wetland restoration programs in the Netherlands, where it is successfully applied, and understand how these challenges has been addressed and overcome. The exploratory research utilized the Socio-technical Systems framework and adopted mixed method approach by collecting data through interviews with key personnel involved in the wetland restorations in the Netherlands. A meticulous content analysis, regression analysis and relational network data matrix analysis has been applied to derive the results. The results revealed the key socio-technical challenges that influences the effective application of wetland restoration in the Netherlands, and identified key strategies applied to overcome these challenges. It further recommends similar research at different context and different scale-wise wetland restorations. Overall, these studies contribute to develop effective strategic framework for resolving socio-technical challenges in wetland restorations, and its universal application, globally. |
