Abstract: | sustainability, but the most meaningful definition is set within an evolutionary framework. Mechanistic and evolutionary frameworks for sustainable
development are discussed. Evolution and adaptation are characteristics of complex adaptive systems, and a new understanding
of sustainable development can be gleaned by using the complex adaptive systems framework. This approach to sustainable development
issues implicitly requires proactive involvement by the public. This paper supports that bottom-up participation needs to
be nurtured. Appropriate processes to enable participation need to be designed and implemented. |
