Socioecological Resilience in Eco-Neighborhoods- A PsychosocialView

Abstract

When we ask ourselves about our capacity as a human community to confront the problems of global warming, we see the need to specify this approach in its practical dimensions and develop appropriate concepts to thematize this problem. This involves understanding the relationships between a specific human conglomerate and the ecosystem where it lives. The case of eco-neighborhoods is an example of this. For this we require a
language that allows us to thematize the various dimensions of the phenomenon. We will study the relationships between the prefix eco, which in this case refers to the natural context, and the term neighborhood, which corresponds to the human conglomerate that inhabits it in a particular way. The purpose of this article is to explore the various dimensions and processes that we could take into account in understanding what this human conglomerate would be and to establish some practical criteria that make it possible to strengthen it in the face of the environmental problems that arise. We will call this strengthening resilience.
