A new rurality in the Dominican Republic: Local development scheme in a sustainable territory management

Becker says that human beings are “out of nature and hopelessly in it”, an effective way to express the difficult relationship between human society and nature, an interaction from which environment comes out, in shapes and functions which become visible in territory.

At present, territory reflects the conflict existing between human being and environment, expressing the effects of what Crutzen calls Antropocene, a new era where anthropic activities impact natural systems significantly, producing modifications at different scale, both locally and globally. What is now clear is that the state of environment can significantly affect human wellbeing, strongly conditioning economy as well as society.
