Networks, Ecology and Social Sciences: the complex network approach in Human Ecology

Networks, Ecology and Social Sciences: the complex network approach in Human Ecology

Complex networks have long been a powerful tool to assess theoretical and practical issues in Social Sciences and Ecology. Although Human Ecology emerged from these disciplines, the complex network approach has been underutilized in this field. This issue is particularly worrying because the complex network approach may help to understand and work out some socio-environmental challenges faced by conservationists. In this paper we revised the theoretical basis and applications of networks in Ecology and Social Sciences as well some novel and potential applications in Human Ecology. Our main goal is to increase awareness of academics and decision makers in the socio-environmental area regarding the applications of complex networks.

Las redes complejas han probado ser una poderosa herramienta analítica en aspectos teóricos y prácticos en las Ciencias Sociales y la Ecología. A pesar de que la Ecología Humana derivó de estas disciplinas, las redes complejas en este campo del conocimiento están actualmente subutilizadas. Esto es preocupante porque las redes complejas podrían ayudar a entender y solucionar algunos desafíos socio-ambientales enfrentados por conservacionistas. Por ello, en esta revisión presentamos las bases teóricas generales y aplicaciones de las redes complejas en Ciencias Sociales y Ecología, así como novedosas y potenciales aplicaciones en Ecología Humana. El objetivo principal es despertar el interés de los académicos y tomadores de decisiones en el área socioambiental sobre las aplicaciones posibles de las redes complejas en este campo.
