Program Foundations
The interface of three large areas of knowledge (Social Systems, Environmental Planning, Applied Ecology and Geosciences) form the structure of the program, defining the main research lines of the program: 1) Environment and Society, 2) Ecological Systems and Geosciences, 3) Landscape Management. These research lines enable the integration of different aspects of human and biosystems development, through a multiscalar dynamic view of different territorial units.
In the figure below, we present a diagram with the interdisciplinary research lines, resulting from the interaction among the areas of knowledge that form the structure of the program:
