Abstract
SERRANO-BARQUIN, Rocío del Carmen. Towards a theoretical-methodological model for the analysis of development, sustainability and tourism. Econ. soc. territ [online]. 2008, vol.8, n.26, pp.313-355. ISSN 2448-6183.
In this paper we propose a theoretical-methodological framework linking development and sustainability as well as socio-economical activities such as tourism. The aim is to introduce a model for local development planning that favours an adequate usage of natural and cultural resources for the benefit of the community. This proposal is based on the theory of complex systems and complex thought in order to explain environmental issues. From this analysis we draw the following categories: harmonic tourism, integrating participative planning, environmentally intuitive/ rational exploitation and hommo-ecosistem.
Keywords : local and sustainable development; sustainable tourism; participative planning; theory of complex systems.
