Abstract
ABSTRACT The following article highlights the need to develop an occupational ecology, that is, the study of the deep and inseparable connection between human occupation and the ecological environment. Occupational ecology emerges as an occupational science field of study in an interprofessional and transdisciplinary dialogue. Potential fields of study are proposed for the development of an occupational ecology. Different projects and examples are presented to illustrate this proposition. This knowledge may empower, among other disciplines, the development of an ecosocial occupational therapy, translating theory to praxis, whose purpose is the creation of healthy, inclusive, and sustainable communities. Ecopations and eco-occupations are presented as key related concepts for occupational ecology.
