Sustainability assessment with dynamic models. first steps in the study of oasis of Comondu, Mexico
The agroecosystem of the oasis of Comondú is a rich ecological and cultural landscape closely linked to the presence of water in an arid environment. The permanence of populations, from the Indian period to the present is an example explicit of sustainability. However, this socio-ecological system has become unbalanced by external socioeconomic and environmental conditions. The agroecosystem of the Oasis of Comondu goes to his decline and demise. Our overall objective is to assess the sustainability of this socioecological system with the framework of integrated assessment of sustainability with dynamic models. The aim of this paper is to present this new approach and show the first steps in this research: participative construction of a conceptual model of our system under study. We have identified the main variables and relationships, and historical processes that have influenced its dynamics. The conceptual model resulting from this interaction includes social, economic and productive subsystems. The general dynamic of Comondu system is largely under the control of climatic and socio-economic external variables, such as hurricanes, rainfall, the socio-political relocation, government assistance and the external agricultural intensification.

The permanence of populations, from the Indian period to the present is an example explicit of sustainability. However, this socio-ecological system has become unbalanced by external socioeconomic and environmental conditions. The agroecosystem of the Oasis of Comondu goes to his decline and demise. Our overall objective is to assess the sustainability of this socioecological system with the framework of integrated assessment of sustainability with dynamic models. The aim of this paper is to present this new approach and show the first steps in this research: participative construction of a conceptual model of our system under study. We have identified the main variables and relationships, and historical processes that have influenced its dynamics.

The general dynamic of Comondu system is largely under the control of climatic and socio-economic external variables, such as hurricanes, rainfall, the socio-political relocation, government assistance and the external agricultural intensification. El oasis de Comondú es un agroecosistema de gran riqueza ecológica y cultural estrechamente ligado a la presencia de agua en un entorno árido. La subsistencia de sus poblaciones desde antes de la época misional hasta nuestros tiempos es una muestra explícita de sustentabilidad. Sin embargo, condiciones socioeconómicas y ambientales externas han desequilibrado este sistema socioambiental, que se dirige a su declive y desaparición. Nuestro objetivo general es evaluar la sustentabilidad de este sistema socioambiental mediante el enfoque de indicadores integrados en modelos dinámicos. El objetivo de este artículo es presentar este emergente enfoque y mostrar los primeros pasos de esta investigación: la construcción participativa de un modelo conceptual de nuestro sistema de estudio. Hemos identificado las principales variables e interrelaciones, y los procesos históricos que han influido en su dinámica. El modelo conceptual resultante incluye los subsistemas social y económico-productivo. La dinámica general del sistema de Comondú se encuentra en gran medida bajo el control de variables externas, climáticas como huracanes y precipitaciones, y de carácter socioeconómico, como la deslocalización sociopolítica, las ayudas gubernamentales y la intensificación agrícola exterior.
