This paper points to the need for undertaking field-based, innovative, intellectual ventures to explore a yet-missing scientific domain of “Implementation Science”. A Vitae System Perspective is proposed to show that seemingly different research arenas are interpreted to share common concerns, hotspots and fundamental issues such as how to manage and realize “more sustainable” society (that is, sustainable management), how to develop a better methodological leverage toward it and what kind of new scientific framework should be further explored. Illustrations are made to link together three seemingly different research frontiers. i.e.,IDRiM (Integrated Disaster Risk Management), CRREM (Conflict Resolution in Resources and Environment Management), and Kasology (sustainable rural development). Some ongoing scientific challenges by the author and others are introduced and discussed. By referring to interpretively relevant ideas, thoughts and research works, further allied endeavors to enhance “Implementation Science” for sustainable society are called for.
