Sustainability has become a target in official policy rhetoric. However, the gap between scientific investigation and practical decision-making poses a significant challenge in achieving sustainability, particularly in endorheic regions. Addressing this challenge requires the translation of scientific outcomes into available decision-making information. In this study, we propose a sustainable decision-making methodology, namely, decision rehearsal, that has four stages: the scientification of decision-making problems, the politicization of scientific knowledge, the translation of scientific findings into decision-making information, and the translation of decision-making information into policy action. Based on this theoretical framework, an ensemble artifact, referred to as the River Basin Sustainable Development Decision Support System (RSDSS), was designed, built and evaluated from a design science research perspective to address a class of sustainability problems in endorheic basins. This system integrates a watershed-integrated model, disaggregated sustainable development goals (SDGs), localized shared socioeconomic pathways (SSPs), and a sustainability assessment model, which can assist decision- and policy-makers in more deeply understand the impacts of different policy assumptions on the interactions between human and natural systems and watershed sustainability. Some related RSDSS cases are discussed to demonstrate the ability of the RSDSS to resolve complex watershed problems, which implies that the RSDSS can promote sustainable river basin management.

基于系统集成和决策支持系统的可持续决策促进内流盆地可持续发展

可持续性已成为官方政策言论的目标。然而，科学研究和实际决策之间的差距对实现可持续性构成了重大挑战，特别是在内陆地区。应对这一挑战需要将科学成果转化为可用的决策信息。在本研究中，我们提出了一种可持续的决策方法，即决策演练，它分为四个阶段：决策问题的科学化、科学知识的政治化、科学发现转化为决策信息以及决策过程的科学化。将决策信息转化为政策行动。基于这一理论框架，从设计科学研究的角度设计、构建和评估了一个被称为流域可持续发展决策支持系统（RSDSS）的整体工件，以解决内流盆地的一类可持续性问题。该系统集成了流域综合模型、分类可持续发展目标（SDG）、本地化共享社会经济路径（SSP）和可持续性评估模型，可以帮助决策者和政策制定者更深入地了解不同政策假设的影响关于人类与自然系统之间的相互作用以及流域可持续性。讨论了一些相关的RSDSS案例，以证明RSDSS解决复杂流域问题的能力，这意味着RSDSS可以促进流域的可持续管理。
