Territory design engineering

Abstract

Concerns about regional planning summon to engineering to play a more social and human role, guiding the practice of engineering towards intervention, imagination, design and construction of possible scenarios for the realization of ethical territories which promote sustainable, for which artificial intelligence, human development, computation al modeling, geographic Information systems and other mathematical apparatus should attend in support of emerging approaches based on complexity, evolutionary theories or social systems engineering. It is proposed here consider social systems consist of free agents who make their own decisions as socio-technical systems, such as social artifacts, constituent and constituted by concepts like the general welfare, sustainable development, environmental protection, democracy and declining risks, problems on which it is feasible engineering method defined by Billy Vaughn Koen and the use of heuristics to generate the best changes in situations with few resources and poorly understood, addressed to the imaginary design of such systems, encouragement to study their structures, relationships and emergency service of the transformation of possible scenarios achievable scenarios. This document includes two parts: First, a quick look of the theoretical approaches that allow the conceptualization of engineering and modeling socio-technical systems as well as some engineering tools available for the design and operation of the models for the design of territories and the second part is a summary of a case study on implementation as an example for possible cases of empirical study.
