Abstract

This chapter has the objective to explain and analyze the issues, problems, concerns, and tendencies related to the sustainable socio-intercultural development. The analysis departs from the assumption that the nature of a sustainable socio-intercultural development system should be based on the common socio-cultural values and public understanding to strengthen the sustaining practices of governance. The method employed is the reflective approach based on an analytical review of the theoretical literature and empirically derived current practices in communities, governments, and organizations. The analysis concludes that the implementation of a sustainable socio-intercultural socioeconomic and environmental development needs to be supported by a well-designed institutional governance. To achieve this, a commitment on the practice of effective community economic growth and socio-environmental sustainable development is required.

Environmental And Sustainable Development

A sustainable development framework must encourage the value of alternative divergent thinking with respect of pluralism of worldviews, cultural diversity and recovery of local community environmental culture to recover the traditional systems of natural resources management and include all these concerns in the construction of environmental policy responses to sustainable development issues. The development of principles for good natural resources management and development governance can be supported by the contribution of the literature review by a panel de experts who may refine and test these principles (Linstone and Turoff 1975).

The dynamic aspects of local communities in collaboration strategy developed to engage with residents, organizations and leaders are related to the complexities of local history, politics, social organizations, business development, and so on, leading all to governance culture.
