Introduction to socio-ecological analysis based on the collective mapping of someone’s own territory: uses made by different social actors and their associated conflicts

Abstract: The present article exposes a practice in the course “Ecology and Development” in a school of natural sciences. The objective is to promote the students’ appropriation of the campus space, the socio-environmental conflicts, and the concepts of socio-ecological systems. Through discussion and the use of aerial images, bibliographical information, journalistic notes, photographs and the narration of a member of the University Campus Community Plant Nursery, landscape changes and its uses are historically reconstructed. The work has led to the identification of different actors involved, a spatial visualization of the uses they make of space, and the identification of conflicts. This didactic and technical tool has proven to be a valuable device to facilitate dialogue among different actors.

摘要：本文介绍了某自然科学学院开设的《生态学与发展（Ecology and Development）》课程中的一项教学实践。本次实践的目标在于帮助学生掌握校园空间的使用逻辑、社会环境冲突（socio-environmental conflicts）以及社会生态系统（socio-ecological systems）的核心概念。实践过程中，通过小组讨论、结合航拍影像、文献资料、新闻手记、摄影素材，以及邀请校园社区苗圃（University Campus Community Plant Nursery）成员进行讲述分享，对校园景观的演变历程及其使用功能开展历史重构。该实践已成功识别出参与其中的各类行动主体，可视化呈现了各主体对校园空间的使用方式，并梳理出其间存在的各类冲突。这一兼具教学性与技术性的实践工具，已被证实为推动不同行动主体间开展对话交流的有效载体。
