Displaying 1 - 4 of 4Bringing together social-ecological system and territoire concepts to explore nature-society dynamics
We examine two academic traditions that address the nature-society interface. These traditions are organized around two main concepts: social-ecological system and territoire. These traditions have grown independently and are rooted respectively in ecology and social geography.

However, they differ in how they deal with space and society.
