RESUMENMuchas implicaciones epistemológicas del DS y TS permanecen ocultas. Para intentar descubrirlas,se revisan y analizan los supuestos y argumentos utilizados en su conceptualización, operacionalización y evaluación. Dos grandes temas no siempre explícitos, pero subyacentes en la literatura sirven para este propósito: ambigüedad e incertidumbre. Se concluye que es en el último eslabón de la cadena teoría o planteamiento/operacionalización, donde se produce el aspecto crucial: la intervención, y que puede haber una sola incertidumbre, la de cómo nos articulamos con los sistemas complejos en que nos encontramos. PALABRAS CLAVES ABSTRACTMany epistemological implications of SD and ST are still undiscovered. Trying to discover them, suppositions and argumentations used in their conceptualization, operationalization and evaluation are analyzed here, through two large topics: ambiguity and uncertainty. It can be concluded that is in the last link of the theory-operationalization or approachoperationalization chain, where the crucial topic is produced: the intervention, and there is only one uncertainty, that is, how we articulate with the complex systems where we are.KEY WORDS Sustainability, ambiguity, uncertainty. INTRODUCCIÓNDel DS, concepto complejo, aún sin una definición que guíe las acciones hacia ello, se sostiene la necesidad de buscar su operatividad (Gutman, 1994) generalmente en un marco de planeación. Muy relacionado con él, del TS se sostiene una capacidad para propiciarlo, aunque literatura y experiencia muestran impactos desfavorables difíciles de identificar, manejar y evaluar. No obstante, se aplican conceptos, métodos y herramientas sin un análisis comprehensivo de sus implicaciones e ignorando sus debates, como si fueran conceptos improblemáticos percibidos y aplicados homogéneamente, cuando en realidad, hay fuertes tensiones entre DS y planeación (teoría/práctica, ideal/viable) y se evidencia un "déficit de implementación" (Freeman, 2004: 308).En este artículo se considera necesario exponer y analizar los supuestos y argumentos utilizados en su conceptualización, operacionalización y evaluación. La convicción detrás de esta idea, es que si la discusión al respecto parece interminable, subyace un problema epistemológico no abordado. Voâ et al. (2007) sugieren 3 grandes temas en las discusiones sobre DS: ambigüedad (de la sustentabilidad como meta), incertidumbre (en cuanto al conocimiento) y distribución del poder (para realizar cambios sociales). De éstos, se analizan los dos primeros, contrastando campos disciplinarios y recurriendo a algunos enfoques epistemológicos. Para ello, se toman en cuenta cuatro aspectos.Primero, hoy ciencia y política de la sustentabilidad demandan mayor reflexividad, incluyendo un conocimiento de primer orden o estratégico para el

“…The IS formation models were based upon functional analysis of system to be researched (Bossel 2001) or the problem analysis of the territory (Rydin et al 2003;Comino, Ferretti 2016), but were randomly linked with the governance of the territory and consequently with the content of official development planning documents, e.g. process of making governance decisions, however now step-wise being more and more under detailed investigation and practice application (Bowen, Riley 2003;Becker 2005;Moldan et al 2012). From the communication point of view the IS shall be understand as the central part of wider science-policy-practice interface (Kudrenickis et al 2016).…”

Abstract. There are recognized in Latvia the lack of locally based coastal socio-ecological research knowledge and its interpretation into municipal safety and development planning from one side as well as also only land-side oriented and separate sectorial development interests based coastal municipalities' governance/planning practice from other side. Coastal governance practice development problems solution at the local level are to be seen at both ends of governance cycle -coastal situation evaluation (e.g. science) and policy design and implementation. Overall objective is to create, apply/test and use applicable interface system for integrated coastal science transfer into integrated coastal management (ICM), and so altogether developing whole and flexible integrated coastal governance (ICG) cycle, esp. at the local municipal level, but also coping with vertical integration with other national and international governance levels, as well as horizontal integration with other municipal development sectors. ICG complex interface system has been started to develop step-wise during realization of various research and development projects and particularly by designing and testing both complementary thematical and territorial approaches based municipal indicator systems (IS). Approaches were applied as different cross-sectorial municipal IS (coastal, climate change governance, coastal risk etc.) and, interrelatedly, eventual whole municipal development IS. There was designed and implemented Sustainable development governance IS proposal for Saulkrasti municipality, being used now for supervision of mandatory municipal long term planning document -Sustainable Development Strategy. Further proposals for coastal indicators observatory system for sealand border area administrative territories has to be developed, respecting all types of coastal components as for highly specific socio-ecological systems in the Baltic Sea region area.

This research aimed to build specific agroedutourism model for elementary school students in Malang Raya. Target of this research were 5th grade students from SDN Ketawanggede 2, SDN Sumberngepoh 02 and SDI Surya Buana. We provided three agroedutourism programs, there were 1). Learning on farmer's friends and enemies, 2). Learning on plants as raw material for biopesticide and natural attractant and 3). Learning on healthy agroecosystem. Each agroedutourism program was composed by discussion, eco-games and taste of healthy foods. Data obtained by distributing questionnaires and analyzed by open source software, Smart PLS (Partial Least Square). Agroedutourism model from PLS output showed that learning on farmer's friends and enemies program was the most effective to improve cognitive competence, enjoyment, pleasure, and the final-understanding of elementary school students than the other programs. While, initial-understanding directly contributing to improve cognitive competence and finalunderstanding of elementary school students. Cognitive competences directly influence to improve the student's appraisal of foods that were obtained. Student enjoyment directly influence to affection and appreciation. Based on those models, to improve final-understanding, we had to improve initial-understanding using learning on farmer's friends and enemies program. Students' appreciation was improved by improving affection and appreciation.
