El propósito de este ensayo es demostrar que el concepto del desarrollo humano sostenible está relacionado al desarrollo de nuevos paradigmas científicos, lo que le da una excelente base de epistemológica. La validez y el crecimiento de su importancia no se refiere sólo a su preocupación por la degradación ambiental del planeta, sino también a la consecuencia lógica de una nueva mirada a la realidad, fundamentalmente por el abandono de los postivistas racionalistas tan inclinados hacia el determinismo optimista y por la llegada de una forma de pensamiento más compleja, holística, sistémica y menos determinista. El paradigma científico emergente da importancia a temas como ¨incertidumbre,¨ la manera en que los fenómenos o el punto de vista del observador son enfocados, la existencia de elementos aparentemente secundarios que pueden volverse fundamentales, las múltiples conexiones entre los diferentes fenómenos y otros asuntos que cambian la manera tradicional en la que buscamos el conocimiento de la realidad. Además, este estudio insiste en la localización como una manera concreta de obtener el desarrollo humano sostenible. Es ese lugar, en el concepto geográfico tradicional mismo, que es el sujeto fundamental y específico de las políticas y acciones en las que uno puede buscar un mejor bienestar para personas y comunidades. Sin excluir acciones globales, son las intervenciones locales las que producirán cambios en la calidad de vida de las personas y en la calidad del ambiente. La acción global puede ser más efectiva si es imaginada como una articulación planetaria de la acción local, que si lo es como un mundo político genérico que no considera la multiplicidad y la riqueza de los diversos lugares.
The purpose of this essay is to demonstrate that the concept of sustainable human development is related to the development of new scientific paradigms, which give an excellent epistemic base. The validity and growth of its importance is not only that of concern for the environmental degradation of the planet, but also the logical consequence of a new look at reality, fundamentally from the abandonment of positivist rationalists so inclined towards optimistic determinism and from the arrival of a more complex, holistic, systemic, and less deterministic way of thinking. The emerging scientific paradigm gives importance to themes like ¨uncertainty,¨ the way the phenomena or the point of view of the observer are focused, the existence of elements apparently secondary which can become fundamental, the multiple connections between the different phenomena and other issues that change the traditional way in which we search for knowledge of the reality. Moreover, this current study insists on localization as a concrete way to obtain sustainable human development. It is that place, in the traditional geographic concept itself, which is the fundamental and specific subject of the policies and actions in which one can look for better welfare for people and communities. Without ruling out global actions, it is the local interventions which are going to produce changes in the people´s quality of life and in the quality of the environment. Global action can be more effective if it is conceived of as a planetary articulation of local action, than as a generic political world that does not consider the multiplicity and richness of diverse places.
