Evaluating a Socio-environmental Complex Adaptive System: The Case of Self-Organized Socio-environmental Development in State Chiapas. — •Felipe Lara-Rosano1 and Adriana Quiroga-Carapia2 — 1Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico (UNAM), Mexico City, Mexico — 2Colegio de la Frontera Sur (ECOSUR), San Cristobal las Casas, Mexico
The project "Social and Environmental Innovation for Development in Areas of High Poverty and Biodiversity in the Southern Border of Mexico" was proposed by a research institute: the Colegio de la Frontera Sur (ECOSUR), and financed by the Mexican Research Council. Its central objective: to create opportunities for social and environmental innovation on the southern border of Mexico, seeking to strengthen the local capacity for sustainable management of natural resources and the welfare of its inhabitants. Because of the complex system and environment dynamics the solution of the problem is not a fixed one but it is a process that must be continuously evaluated and adapted based on the standpoint of the complex systems paradigm. The assessment of the socio-environmental development project is performed conceptualizing and organizing the community as a complex adaptive system in interaction with its environment. The system has properties expressed as state variables associated with a value that is changing through the development process. The analysis of the system dynamics is based on the behavior of its state variables. The Colegio de la Frontera Sur (ECOSUR) successfully applied this method in rural development projects in state Chiapas in 2013.
