Full textThis thesis is part of a multidisciplinary project named “Automotive Academy: a learning-by-doing project for innovation engineering automotive”, a strategic industrial programme financed by Emilia-Romagna region, Italy. The project is made by a collaborative research network composed by several universities, research centres and local industries scattered on the territory. The overall research aims to gather many engineering and design solutions, developed by the network, which can be transferred from academia to the automotive industry. In particular, the main goal of the project is to develop a “fun” and “eco” concept car as an R&D platform, which aspires to become a starting point and a demonstrator for future technical or technological innovations – in terms of sustainable and high-performance solutions – that will be developed within the network in the coming years. In particular, the objective is to design the future concept of a hybrid sports vehicle, which must be characterized by low environmental impact and high-performance features. Five independent work packages constitute the research program. Each area refers to a specific field of expertise that deals with a particular system of the vehicle: (1) automotive product design and human-centred methodologies; (2) propulsion and powertrain; (3) vehicle body and dynamics; (4) smart materials and innovative components; (5) drive-by-wire instruments. This specific research refers to the first work packaging and it focuses its attention on the automotive design or styling design, namely the specialized discipline that is specifically implicated in giving a shape to the car during the early stages of the automotive product development. Unlike the other engineering work packages, this research is design-driven and human-centred oriented. The contribution, indeed, constitutes the framework of the overall project because it has the task to envision and conceptualize both architecture and styling of the expected sports car by using specifically a human-centred design approach. In fact, starting from identifying the context of use, the research analyses the main users and their behaviours to transform their wishes or needs into an innovative solution, which will be capable of satisfying their demands. The peculiarity of the research lays on the use of two specific human-centred approaches – that are Quality Function Deployment (QFD) and Vision in Product Design (ViP) – but also on its exploratory combination for experimenting a new design methodology. QFD is a human-centred tool based on a mathematical correlating matrix that is able to orient product design toward the real exigencies of the end-users. While ViP is a conceptual and strategic methodology that enables innovation by envisioning new ideas for the future. Both models are selected for this research because they are perfectly suitable in automotive for structuring idea-generating throughout the styling process. They are also able to support the design process in making significant decisions for product development. The main purpose of the exploratory combination is to develop the concept vehicle in a unique design process, in order to come up with a novel and integrated concept solution. At the end of the research, the proposed vehicle and its properties expect to become a technical layout for developing the automotive R&D platform in the coming years within the multidisciplinary network. The final solution will provide several technical and styling guidelines to the overall project that will be necessary not only to design the final vehicle prototype but also to promote the use of a human-centred design approach to the other engineering researches.

Full textnostra societat està contribuint al col∙lapse del planeta, " és necessari un nou tipus d'enginyer, un enginyer que
sigui plenament conscient del que està succeint a la societat i que tingui les habilitats necessàries per fer front
als aspectes socials de les tecnologies "(De Graaff et al., 2001).
L'educació superior és un instrument essencial per superar els reptes del món actual amb èxit i per formar
ciutadans capaços de construir una societat més justa i oberta (Álvarez, 2000). Per tant, les institucions
d'educació superior tenen la responsabilitat d'educar els futurs titulats amb la finalitat que adquireixin una
visió moral i ètica i assoleixin els coneixements tècnics necessaris per assegurar la qualitat de vida per a les
generacions futures (Corcoran et al, 2002).
Amb l'objectiu d'assegurar que els futurs titulats siguin enginyers sostenibles, tres qüestions fonamentals han
guiat aquesta investigació:
Quines competències en sostenibilitat ha d'adquirir un enginyer a la universitat?
Com poden aquestes competències ser adquirides d'una manera eficient?
Quina estructura educacional és més eficaç per facilitar els processos d'aprenentatge requerits?
La primera pregunta es refereix a "Què?", és a dir, a quines competències relacionades amb la sostenibilitat
(coneixements, habilitats i actituds) ha de tenir un enginyer que es gradua en el segle 21. La segona qüestió es
refereix a "Com?" i es centra en com els processos educatius poden fer possible l'aprenentatge de les
competències en sostenibilitat a través de les estratègies pedagògiques adequades. L'última pregunta es
refereix a "On?" des de la perspectiva de quin pla d'estudis i quina estructura organitzativa són necessaris per
poder aplicar la didàctica més òptima per graduar enginyers amb competències en sostenibilitat.
Aquesta recerca s'ha enfocat des d'una vessant teòrico‐pràctica en què tant les estratègies pedagògiques com
les competències en sostenibilitat s'han estudiat en paral∙lel. Amb aquesta orientació, s'ha dissenyat una eina
d'avaluació que mesura aquests dos aspectes i la seva relació, i que s'ha aplicat a 10 casos d'estudi formats per
cursos de sostenibilitat de 5 universitats tecnològiques europees, en els quals hi han participat, en total, més
de 500 estudiants.
Per completar l'estudi, s'ha analitzat la introducció de la sostenibilitat en els plans d'estudi
de 17 universitats tecnològiques, i s'han entrevistat 45 experts en educació de sostenibilitat en l'enginyeria.
En relació a les preguntes clau, els resultats de la investigació han estat els següents:
En el moment de titular‐se, l'estudiantat d'enginyeria hauria d'haver adquirit les competències següents:
pensament crític, pensament sistèmic, ser capaços de treballar en un entorn transdisciplinari, i tenir valors en
consonància amb el paradigma de la sostenibilitat. D'altra banda, d'acord amb els requisits de l'EEES, també cal
establir un marc comú per definir, descriure i avaluar les competències en sostenibilitat a nivell europeu.
Després d'haver realitzat un curs en sostenibilitat, la majoria de l'estudiantat segueix prioritzant el rol
tecnològic de la sostenibilitat, pel que fa a la tecnologia com la solució als problemes ambientals, sense gairebé
considerar els aspectes socials. Per tant, els cursos sobre sostenibilitat han d'emfatitzar més la part social i
institucional de la sostenibilitat.
Existeix una relació directa entre l'aprenentatge de la transdisciplinarietat i el pensament sistèmic.
L'aprenentatge cognitiu de l'estudiantat augmenta, a mida que s'aplica una pedagogia més orientada a la
comunitat i més constructiva. Així, l'aprenentatge cognitiu de la sostenibilitat també millora a través d'una
l''educació activa, experiencial i multimetodològica. A més a més, en l'aprenentatge de la sostenibilitat, el
paper del professorat és molt important pel que fa a l'aprenentatge implícit de valors, principis i pensament
crític associats a la sostenibilitat
Les universitats tecnològiques actualment implementen l'educació en sostenibilitat a través de quatre
estratègies principals: un curs específic, una especialització en sostenibilitat, un màster en sostenibilitat o en
tecnologies sostenibles, i la integració del desenvolupament sostenible en tots els cursos. No obstant això, la
principal barrera per a la integració de la sostenibilitat en tots els cursos és la manca de comprensió del terme
per part del professorat. L'"enfocament individual" (Peet et al., 2004) ha demostrat ser un bon sistema per
superar aquesta barrera.
Hi ha una necessitat clara de lideratge per part de l'equip de govern de les universitats en el procés de canvi
cap a una educació en sostenibilitat. Aquest lideratge ha de promoure l'enfocament de baix a dalt.
Els processos d'educació en sostenibilitat es reforcen quan aquests no només integren l'educació, sinó també
totes les altres àrees clau d'activitat de la universitat: recerca, gestió i relació amb la societat.
En breu, l'estructura d'aquesta tesi és la següent. El capítol 1 introdueix el plantejament de la recerca. El
capítol 2 revisa l'estat de l'art i la literatura en relació a les competències que els enginyers han de tenir quan
es graduen, A continuació, el capítol 3 descriu les estratègies pedagògiques per al desenvolupament sostenible
i les analitza des d'un punt de vista teòric i metodològic presentant els avantatges i desavantatges de les més
utilitzades en l'ensenyament d'enginyeria El capítol 4 presenta les estructures curriculars que han de catalitzar
el procés d'aprenentatge en sostenibilitat. El capítol 5 desenvolupa el marc conceptual de la recerca, les
propostes metodològiques de la investigació i els casos d'estudi analitzats. El capítol 6 avalua
comparativament les competències en sostenibilitat definides en tres universitats tecnològiques que són líders
europeus en sostenibilitat. El Capítol 7 introdueix el marc metodològic per a l'avaluació de l'aprenentatge
cognitiu en sostenibilitat del estudiantat. Aquesta metodologia s'aplica en el capítol 8 als 10 cursos de
sostenibilitat impartits en 5 universitats tecnològiques europees, que conformen els casos d'estudi d'aquesta
recerca. A partir de les 45 entrevistes realitzades a experts en sostenibilitat provinents de 17 universitats
tecnològiques europees, el capítol 9 estudia les millors pràctiques en pedagogia per a l'aprenentatge de la
sostenibilitat i el capítol 10 examina l'estructura curricular que més facilita l'aprenentatge en sostenibilitat a
les universitats tecnològiques. En el Capítol 11 es comparen els resultats obtinguts en els diferents casos
d'estudi i s'avaluen les propostes plantejades en el capítol 1. Finalment, el capítol 12 planteja les conclusions
de la recerca i algunes recomanacions per a les institucions d'educació superior tecnològiques.
In today's world social context, in which a considerable number of contrasting signs reveal that our society is currently contributing to the planet's collapse, "a new kind of engineer is needed, an engineer who is fully aware of what is going on in society and who has the skills to deal with societal aspects of technologies" (De
Graaff et al., 2001).
Higher education is the essential instrument to overcome the current world challenges and to train citizens able to build a more fair and open society (Alvarez, 2000). Thus higher education institutions have the responsibility to educate graduates who have achieved an ethical moral vision and the necessary technical knowledge to ensure the quality of life for future generations (Corcoran et al, 2002).
In relation to graduating sustainable engineers, three main questions have been developed to guide this research:
1. Which Sustainability (SD) competences must an engineer obtain at university?
2. How can these competences be acquired efficiently?
3. Which education structure is more effective for the required learning processes?
The first main question is a "What" question, and focuses on which competences (knowledge/understanding, skills/abilities and attitudes) an engineer graduating in the 21st century should have in relation to SD.
The second main question is a "How" question and focuses on how can the education processes make this learning achievable through the proper pedagogical strategies. The last main question is a "Where" question and looks
at the perspective of the curriculum and the organizational structure needed to apply the optimal didactics to achieve the goal of graduating sustainable engineers.
The focus of this research requires a theoretical‐practical approach in which both pedagogical strategies and SD competences are studied in parallel.
An assessment tool that measures the two subjects and their relationship is developed and case studies are run in 10 SD courses at 5 European technological universities, where nearly 500 students have participated. Moreover, the different approaches to introduce SD in the
curriculum of 17 technological universities are analysed, and 45 experts on teaching SD to engineering students have been interviewed.
In relation to the key questions, the findings of this research are the following.
When graduating the engineering students should have acquired the following SD competences: critical thinking, systemic thinking, an ability to work in transdisciplinary frameworks, and to have values consistent with the sustainability paradigm. Moreover, following the requirements of the EHEA, a common framework to define, describe and evaluate SD competences at European level is needed.
Most students, after taking a course on SD, highlight the technological role of sustainability in terms of technology as the solution to environmental problems. Therefore SD courses need to place more emphasis on the social/institutional side of sustainability.
There is a direct relationship between transdisciplinary and systemic thinking learning.
Students achieve better cognitive learning as more community‐oriented and constructive‐learning pedagogies are applied. Multi‐methodological experiential active learning education increases cognitive learning of sustainability.
In addition, the role of the teacher is very important for SD learning in terms of implicit learning of sustainability values, principles and critical thinking.
There are four main strategies to increase EESD in universities: a specific SD course, a minor/specialization in SD, a Master on SD or Sustainable Technologies and the embedment of SD in all courses. Nevertheless the main barrier to embedding SD in all courses is the lack of comprehension to SD within the faculty. The
individual approach (Peet et al., 2004) has shown to be successful to overcome this barrier.
There is a need of clear top‐down leadership in the ESD process, which must promote the bottom‐up
approach. Additionally, ESD processes are reinforced when they encompass not only education but also all the key areas of the university: research, management, and society outreach.
This thesis is organised as follows. The introduction in chapter 1 is followed by the state of the art and literature review in competences that engineers should have when graduating in chapter 2. Chapter 3 introduces the pedagogical strategies for SD and develops a theoretical and methodological exploration of
these strategies, which presents the pros & cons and learning outcomes of the most common pedagogical strategies in engineering. Chapter 4 describes the curriculum structures that catalyse the process of sustainable education. Chapter 5 presents the development of the conceptual research framework,
propositions and case studies research methodologies. A comparative SD competence analysis of three European leading SD technological universities is presented in chapter 6. Chapter 7 introduces the methodology framework to evaluate the knowledge on SD acquired by students; this methodology is later
applied in chapter 8 to 10 case studies related to SD courses taught in 5 European technological universities.
From the results of the interviews with 45 experts from 17 European technological universities, chapter 9 analyses the best pedagogical practices for SD learning and chapter 10 analyses the curriculum structure that
most facilitates the introduction of SD learning in technological universities. Chapter 11 compares the different cases analyzed and evaluates the propositions developed in chapter 1. Finally, in chapter 12 conclusions are drawn and recommendations for technological higher education institutions are provided.

Full textEl objetivo fundamental de esta tesis es la generación de un modelo de optimización del funcionamiento de la actividad agraria a nivel de paisaje. Se trata de una tesis con un fuerte componente metodológico. Sin embargo, para fundamentar cómo tendría que ser el funcionamiento de los sistemas agrarios para que mejoraran su eficiencia en el uso de los recursos naturales, así como su lógica orgánica, me baso en el estudio de los sistemas agrarios en perspectiva histórica. Así, en los tres primeros capítulos de esta tesis doctoral analizo la transición socio-metabólica de las agriculturas orgánicas a las industriales haciendo uso de la metodología del metabolismo social y el análisis de flujos de materiales y energía (capítulo 2) así como incorporando el análisis en términos de ecología del paisaje (capítulo 3) y de sistema alimentario (capítulo 4). Lo aplico para un caso de estudio situado en el pre-litoral mediterráneo catalán (la comarca histórica del Vallés), en tres momentos históricos distintos: cerca de 1860, en 1956 y 1999. Una vez identificadas las claves del funcionamiento de los sistemas agrarios previos a la revolución verde, he sentado las bases para la segunda parte de la tesis doctoral. En ella propongo en primer lugar (capítulo 5), el desarrollo teórico de un modelo de optimización que permite analizar cuál hubiera sido (o podría ser en un futuro) el funcionamiento más óptimo de los distintos bienes fondo de los agroecosistemas que permitan satisfacer determinados objetivos sociales. En primer lugar lo aplico como análisis contrafactual de las posibles configuraciones del territorio bajo un contexto de desigualdad en las agriculturas orgánicas avanzadas, para 1860 (capítulo 6). Posteriormente se aplica a nivel prospectivo de futuros escenarios agroecológicos (capítulo 7). Esto nos permite caracterizar los límites de las estrategias a nivel agroecológico de paisaje, básicamente debidos al condicionante imperante del cierre de ciclos de nutrientes. Con ello, consideramos que esta nueva metodología propuesta abre una nueva herramienta que facilite estos debates sociales, teniendo en cuenta la complejidad del funcionamiento de los sistemas agrarios y sin pretender simplificarlos a decisiones puramente técnicas.

We explored the scenarios of the future constructed by 46 children from two courses of 6th grade of primary/basic schools in Barcelona and another in Santiago de Chile. It is also of interest to recognize the value that have the proposed dimensions, what interactions emerge from the BSF and what are the dimensions that we´ve raised from the theory to study the concept of the future, these dimensions are creativity as a reflective and practical act, globality of phenomena of the world and sustainability as an action. All this under the gaze and concept of a group of children aged 10 to 11 years in different temporal, space and curricular contexts. The research questions emerge from the need for a change of perspective to look at and to analyze the phenomena of the world, to change the focus from a catastrophic and crisis vision, towards a more complex one addressing optimism and hope for a better future. We try in this research to answer the question: How does the group of children aged 10-11 years that belong to two schools, one in Barcelona and the other in Santiago de Chile, imagine the future? What role do they perform in their imaginary future? Do the aspects associated with creativity, globality of the phenomena of the world and sustainability emerge in the construction of future scenarios? And finally, how creative, globality and sustainable dimensions of visions interact in favor of Environmental Education? The obtained results show future scenarios in three main areas; the socio-familiar, where the component "Family Settings" (number of children) predominates over the space, associated with the evaluation of a place to live, which is home, neighborhood and city, the latter more strongly in children of Barcelona. Another area is the environment, where children of both contexts express similarly, highlighting an approach cause-effect, for example pollution-ozone, global warming-deforestation. Finally the technological field expresses a particular and utilitarian scenario, as technology assumes a role to serve a man, leaving behind a fiction look on it. From the analyzed representations, we can say that indeed there is an interaction between creative, globality and sustainable dimensions of the imaginary future scenarios of children, being the globality dimension which left more evidence about how they imagine the future and also their active role in it. This construction of future scenarios of children gives clear clues about the needs of future societies that seek to ensure their quality of life. The challenge is to be able to prosecute those concerns presented by children, so that they themselves can make decisions and build realities with proper tools, thinking about the common good in interpersonal relations and in relations with the environment. As a conclusion, the construction of scenarios stimulates to think globally and creatively about the future, with a deep and optimistic reflection, however there are missing elements in the results and imaginaries of children that can be addressed in other investigations or serve as inputs for the construction of curriculum policies in both contexts, these are related to the concept of citizenship and nutrition, two vital elements within the current environmental educational scenario.

Full textEl trabajo que se presenta en esta tesis de doctorado pretende determinar los posibles efectos del Cambio Climático en los recursos hídricos futuros para la cuenca del río Fluvià y la cuenca del río la Tordera en la Comunidad Autónoma de Catalunya. Para determinar como el Cambio Climático afecta a las aportaciones en dichas áreas, se dispuso de las proyecciones para la precipitación y la temperatura desarrolladas por el modelo meteorológico de circulación del clima ECHAM5 para los escenarios B1 y A2, propuestos en el cuarto informe de Cambio Climático presentado el año 2007 por el IPCC. Dichas proyecciones fueron escaladas a nivel local mediante un escalado estadístico basado una cadena de Markov de primer orden para generar lluvia local incluyendo días con o sin lluvia, y una distribución de Weibull para asignar el volumen de lluvia en los días de ocurrencia de la misma. Para el cálculo de los datos de temperatura a partir de las observaciones históricas se utilizó un modelo auto-regresivo de media móvil (ARMA). Las proyecciones de precipitación y temperatura se generaron para un horizonte de tiempo de 50 años (2000 - 2050). Adicionalmente se contó con registros históricos de precipitación temperatura para el período 1984 - 2008. Estos datos constituyeron la información de entrada en el generador local del clima para determinar las distribuciones y probabilidades históricas de la precipitación que fueron utilizadas en la generación de las proyecciones futuras. El modelo hidrológico de las cuencas en estudio se basó en la herramienta hidrológica HEC- HMS 4.0., y su algoritmo de cálculo de humedad continua del suelo (SMA) que permite hacer simulaciones a largo plazo evaluando los procesos hidrológicos en detalle. El modelo fue calibrado y validado a partir de la información de estaciones de aforo presentes en los últimos tramos de ambas cuencas. Los datos históricos de precipitación y temperatura (evapotranspiración) fueron ingresados en el modelo para evaluar la aportación histórica de cada una de las cuencas y obtener un valor de referencia para comparación de los resultados futuros. El siguiente paso consistió en ingresar las proyecciones futuras de precipitación y temperatura (2000 - 2050) en el modelo hidrológico, previamente validado, y determinar la variación de las aportaciones generadas para las nuevas proyecciones. La comparación de las proyecciones con las aportaciones históricas previamente modeladas en la cuenca del Fluvià para ambos escenarios de cambio (B1 y A2) indican que las aportaciones medias anuales futuras disminuyen un 16.7% para el escenario B1 y un 28.2% para el escenario A2. En la cuenca de la Tordera se observaron disminuciones de 19.9% para el escenario B1 y 26.6% para el escenario A2. Se puede observar para ambos escenarios en el período histórico y en ambas cuencas que cuando el descenso de precipitación varía entre 2.5% y 11.2%, las disminuciones en términos de aportaciones son mayores, indicativo de que la respuesta hidrológica amplifica el efecto de la disminución de precipitación. Finalmente, también se observó que realizando variaciones a la técnica de escaldo se pueden obtener nuevas series de precipitación futuras con distribuciones temporales distintas a las series originalmente generadas. Las nuevas series se caracterizan por una distribución de la precipitación más heterogénea desagregando eventos de lluvia a lo largo de más días. Cuando estas series son ingresadas al modelo hidrológico se obtienen aportaciones anuales mayores a las obtenidas a través del primer escalado del modelo climatológico, con incrementos de un 9 a un 11% en las aportaciones anuales para ambos escenarios de cambio (B1 y A2) y en ambas cuencas. Por ello no solo es importante conocer la cantidad de lluvia futura para una región, también es importante conocer su distribución temporal dada su influencia en la respuesta hidrológic

Full textIn the context of the global human/earth issues (population, poverty, imbalances, environment problematic, global warming, water scarcity, economical globalization, etc.) with the others the Carrying Capacity issue is emerging. It is a "driver" which is not always simply related with sustainable development concepts. It is therefore enormously important to give adequate answers to the majority of the global dilemmas.
The definition of carrying capacity is not easy because it is controversial. So the first chapter of this study is to adopt a clearer position in reference to the meaning, the borders, the key aspects, etc., of our approach to this issue. Basically, our approach is, first, from the sustainable development point of view and, second, a local approach in a global view. Finally and concretely, we indicate what aspects, in which place, how do we study carrying capacity? The answer to these questions will be: the agricultural (land and water) reality in a very specific region of East Sub Saharan Africa.
So the next step of the work is to specify and delimit our chosen region and, obviously, to study it in detail. Chapter 2, and some parts of Chapter 8, are the results of this.
The kind of methodological approach to global human/earth issues is, clearly, the most characteristic point of our work. We follow a scientific approach developed by Dr. Mihajlo Mesarovic over forty years ago in the mathematical systems analysis field and "finished" in multilevel integrated assessment with reasoning support tools for policy analysis. We study in depth and analyze this methodology in Chapter 3.
From a first or high level point of view of a hierarchy of models in our methodology, we study the population and, for the moment in this level, the carrying capacity reality, which is a dynamic system in reality, of our case study region. We have created the corresponding model and then, we have used a reference study from FAO/IIASA/UN [B.3.7] that, according to our bibliography searches and the role that it is continuing to play in the international studies of this issue in developing countries, is a "key reference". We find all of this in chapters 5 (population) and 6 (carrying capacity). In fact one of the goals of this work as a whole is to involve, extend, and indeed test the results of the mentioned report using our methodology.
Always from the hierarchical point of view we affront, finally, the second level representation of our issue. It is the most creative part of our study. We decide, after a deep analysis of the background, that we can succeed in developing a new agricultural model involving land and water aspects.
Because water is another controversial driving factor of the global human/earth issues, we focus on it in chapter 7. We add some personal special approach according to our methodology and "philosophy".
Chapter 8 is the highlight and plays, at the same time, an integrated role of the whole study and, in particular, the second level approach from the point of view of the hierarchy of the models. It allows us to make many final conclusions in several directions. About the methodology itself: extremely powerful with the interrelated combination of the different models levels approach. About the key report cited: only needs to be revised in its high input/output forecasting. The success and new possibilities in order to study the carrying capacity issue, for future policy "vision" analysis, that we now have from the point of view of agricultural reality. Finally, a dramatic foresight and call to the international decision- makers about the situation in our Case Study Region (essentially, the more stressful sub-region of East Sub-Saharan Africa).
0.4.2. OBJECTIVES AND CONTRIBUTIONS
Assessment of carrying capacity is essential in the search for the condition of sustainable development. While sustainability has a global dimension focus, for carrying capacity assessment has to be on geographic areas within which the needs of population have to be satisfied consistent with the physiologically determined time constraints. Specifically, food had to be secured for the population on location and in time where the need exists. Large geographic areas cannot be sustained by food imported from distant locations on the globe. In short, some degree of food self-sufficiency is a prerequisite for sustainability. The research reported here started by identifying eastern Sub-Sahara Africa as the most vulnerable geographic region in the sense of carrying capacity.
The objective of the research was to approach the question of carrying capacity in a practical integrated manner ("problematique"); i.e., in the context of real constraints imposed by environmental life support resources, rather than to "reduce" the problem to the considerations of the theoretical extreme capacity that have no chance of being achieved in reality.
On the first level, a model is developed focusing on the most dominant relationship between population evolution and carrying capacity as a dynamic, time varying system. Broad based data available in international sources are used. Results of FAO research, which is recognized as being the most authoritative, is used to parameterize the model for all countries in the region as well as for the region itself. The concept of an index of carrying capacity potential is developed to assess the results of the simulation using three levels of technology inputs of agricultural production, identified by the FAO.
A second level model is developed in which actual physical constraints -land, yields, water and irrigation- are explicitly taken into account. Assessment of carrying capacity supported by actual data is then conducted using the same carrying capacity potential index as the first level. Consistency of the results on the two levels has been demonstrated. This conclusion -not to be expected a priori- has justified the application of the multilevel, from the hierarchical of the models point of view, approach. As such it presents a contribution to the methodology beyond the carrying capacity problem per se.
So, in summary, the main contributions of the thesis are threefold:
a) Contribution to the complex systems analysis methodology based on the multilevel modeling hierarchy approach, that uses the notions of a dominant relationship rather than more detailed approximation, in order to construct models on different levels of the modeling hierarchy. Consistency of the results on two levels-not expected a priori-open the ways for application of the approach to other problem domains (global warming, water scarcity, etc.).
b) Development of an agricultural (land and water) model to study carrying capacity for any country, region, on the globe. The developed models and the reasoning approach in scenario analysis can be applied to other agricultural carrying capacity problems such as, i.e., for Afghanistan, Bangladesh, etc.
c) Concrete results about targets and policies for the region in the East Sub-Saharan Africa in order to improve their food self-security.

Full textEn un contexto territorial, nacional y mundial, en donde impera el paradigma de producción agroindustrial, el presente trabajo tiene como objetivo comprender la importancia y urgencia de la implementación del paradigma agroecológico, considerando todos los aspectos que el mismo comprende (social, ambiental, político, productivo-económico), como así también su naturaleza holística, a través de una situación agroecológica familiar concreta. Para ello se analiza, desde una perspectiva holística, un sistema productivo, en transición hacia la agroecología. El establecimiento, ubicado en Unquillo (provincia de Córdoba, Argentina), se dedica a la producción de huevos de gallina y de lechones, bajo una racionalidad de sustentabilidad social y ambiental. Se realizó un diagnóstico del mismo, aplicando la teoría de sistemas, a través de una investigación-acción-participativa con los diferentes actores sociales involucrados. También se analizó el contexto territorial y nacional, haciendo hincapié en aquellos factores que afectan, tanto positiva como negativamente, la agricultura familiar y la implementación de prácticas agroecológicas. A partir de ello, se generaron estrategias de intervención adecuadas tendientes a avanzar en la transición hacia la agroecología, a mediano y largo plazo. La agroecología es fundamental para alcanzar la soberanía y la seguridad alimentaria, la sustentabilidad productiva-económica, social y ambiental. Es imperante la concientización y la educación de las personas sobre esta temática (y todo lo que abarca), sobre el consumo responsable y la importancia que tiene cada actor social, desde su rol, en pos de avanzar hacia el buen vivir. La agroecología es necesaria si se quiere un futuro en común…
