Abstract
Joint ecological, geographical and planning vision of the components of urban socio-ecological complexes
Highlights
The same territorial reality is described in different terms by the discipline dealing with it
Ecologists and planners study the same reality, their opinions must somehow converge despite the different languages used
The model is used to analyze sustainability, which results from the intersection of the vertical pillars with the multiple horizontal dimensions and projects itself unto the territory
Summary
The same territorial reality is described in different terms by the discipline dealing with it. As a consequence of it, after embracing the systemic theory in the 1970’, the three different disciplines used different terms for the base unit, and exhibit different understandings of its structure and functions. The base unit in geography is the geosystem, defined as “complex geographical system resulted from the evolution of relationships between relief, water, air, soil, organisms and man,. The concept of “landscape” is used and defined as unit formed by the interaction of man and nature over time and its perception by population (IUCN, 1994; Petrişor, 2013b). The choice of the urban environment was due to the fact that geographers and planners are mainly focused on the human society (Mândruţ, 2013:65), and the visions of the natural systems do not vary as much across the three disciplines
