Scale and Context

Sustainability research and a lot of time and space scales on the environmental and social and economic contexts of a number of familiar. economic sectors, the sustainability of the planet Earth for the balance of power with the focus changes, ecosystems, states, municipalities, neighborhoods, home gardens, live in separate, individual goods and services, professions, lifestyles, behavior patterns, and so on. . In other words, it is full, or its biological and human activity on the part of the reason might be Compass Daniel Botkin, author and environmentalist, as stated: "We are changing on the scale that the flux of time and space is always a view to see ". 

Consumer - people, technology, resources 

Biophysical effects of the drive system of human resources, destruction of Earth, and in particular, are ecosystems of Earth. a community of humanity as a whole, or to the environment, and the scale of human impact on per capita, which in its turn, these resources are restored, or, what resources are used depends on the activity of the complex depends on the carrying capacity of ecosystems than take part. Careful resource management organizations, business, agriculture, manufacturing and industrial sectors, such as over-weight can be applied to the economic, physical and personal and household patterns of consumption of goods and services resource requirements. One of the first attempts in 1970 and developed the mathematical expression of human impact on the first formula is known as PAT. Preparation of the three components of the consumer in terms of human attempts to explain this: the number of the population, the level of consumption a unit of impact and resource of technology used depends on the . Expressed in the equation is: I = P × A × T Where: 

I = environmental impact, P = Population, A = affluence, T = Technology

Principles and concepts

Sustainability takes on the philosophical and analytical framework that combines a wide range of disciplines and areas, in recent years was that the name of the resistance came to an area of science. Sustainability science and not an autonomous field or discipline of its own is not a problem-oriented management and management decisions have tended to be the right

Sustainability

Sustainability is the ability to endure. In ecology, the term describes how biological systems remain diverse and productive over time. Long lived and healthy lakes and forests are examples of sustainable organic systems. For humans, stable long-term maintenance of well being, environmental, economic and social dimensions are likely to. 

Healthy ecosystems and the environment to humans and other organisms provide critical goods and services. There reduce the negative impact humans have two major ways to enhance ecosystem services. First environmental management, this approach is based largely on the Information earth science, environmental science, biology and protection obtained. Second approach human consumption of resources, the economics of the information obtained is based on large-scale management.
Stability, social and ecological consequences of economic activity through the interface with economics. Ecological economics sustainability economics where social, cultural, healthcare and monetary / financial aspects are integrated is included. Moving towards sustainability is a social challenge that international and national law, urban planning and transport, local and individual lifestyle needs and focuses on ethical consumerism. Ways of living more sustainably living conditions (eg, ecovillages, environmentally sustainable towns and municipalities) take many forms of restructuring, economic (permaculture, green building, sustainable agriculture) areas, or work practices (sustainable architecture) reappraising to can use science to make adjustments in personal life style for the new (clean technologies, renewable energy) technology, develop the natural resources conservation.
