SUBERCASEAUX-UGARTE, Diego. Ecologicals implications of the economic priorization on the cultural landscape: Determinant of order and sustainability. Econ. soc. territ [online]. 2013, vol.13, n.41, pp.181-225. ISSN 2448-6183.

A systemic and transdisciplinary approach is fundamental to address the current ecological-territorial situation. The cultural landscape corresponds to an object of study epistemologically adequate for the problem of sustainability. The economic rationality considers the maximization of economic profits in the design of the cultural landscape. Sixteen principles pertaining to determinants of economic order have been defined, identifying their effects on the structure of the landscape and establishing and analyzing the main ecological consequences of their occurrence and predominance. These are: decrease of ecological connectivity and diversity of the cultural landscape, diminishing its potential of resilience and restoration, producing extrication between autopoiesis and adaptation, and through this a decrease of ecological adaptability. Ultimately, this generates the unsustainability of ecological services, which are vital for our society.

Palavras-chave : sustainability; cultural landscape; determinant of economic order; landscape ecology; landscape structure.
