La escala en el desarrollo sustentable (DS) y turismo sustentable (TS) : sus implicaciones epistemológicas

Abstract

The aspects and epistemological problems of SD and ST concentrate on scale, including ambiguity and uncertainty (in other paper), at the same time it is related to questionings on the current ways of generating knowledge. This situation responds both to the emergence of phenomena unseen in scientific literature and the new scientific perspectives which lead to the crumbling of previous suppositions. Hence, the problems of scale indicate us the limitations of their usual meanings; the resistance posed by the complex objects of study to said limitations and the need to define organizational forms or alternative concepts to that of scale in order to deal with holistic conceptions.
