This paper aims at discussing the way of collaborative approach among researchers related to Sustainability Science. To this end, we carried out a survey through interview and email with 28 experts from various fields in sustainability. Our survey results showed that the problems for researchers fall into four categories; “phenomena”, “method”, “approach”, and “framework.” The paper then identified six types exist as perspective differences among researchers; those types include “definition”, “granularity”, “domain”, “direction”, "frame”, and “recognition.” Finally, we addressed the interrelations among the perspective differences, proposing a procedure as a collaborative approach among experts that help us pursue interdisciplinary research projects.
