复杂性科学视角下的社会生态系统可持续性分析

An Analysis of the Sustainability of Socio-Ecological Systems from the Perspective of Complexity Science

绿色发展与可持续发展体现了社会生态系统结构和演化的复杂性与可持续性。社会生态系统是一种复杂适应系统,其复杂性主要体现为:具有非线性层级结构、具有适应性演化机制和表现出共同进化过程。社会生态系统的可持续性则主要表现为自稳定性、自组织性和自适应性等特征。社会生态系统在演化过程中,在一定条件下,能够维持自己的整体有序结构;能够根据规则调整系统的内部结构,甚至改变规则以适应不断变化的外界环境,从而使系统突现出新的结构和功能,表现出一种适应性的有序演化过程。社会生态系统的可持续性分析为绿色发展的理论建构提供了新的视角和研究进路。

Green development and sustainable development embody the complexity and sustainability of the structure and evolution of Socio-Ecological Systems(SES).A SES is a complex adaptive system,and its complexity is mainly reflected in having nonlinear hierarchical structures,adaptive evolution mechanisms and co-evolutionary processes.The sustainability of SES is characterized by self-stability,self-organization and self-adaptation.In the process of evolution,SES can maintain its own overall orderly structure under certain conditions,adjust the internal structure of the system according to the rules,and even change the rules to adapt to the changing external environment,so that the system can highlight new structures and functions and show an adaptive and orderly evolution process.The analysis of sustainability of SES provides a new perspective and research approach for the theoretical construction of green development.
