GTSS is a mathematical field in development, proposed by Johan Manuel Redondo and Clarita Bustamante, to study socio-ecological systems, in which sustainability, governance, resilience, and viability of opportunities that define scenarios of transformation of these systems.

This approach understands socio-ecological systems as arrangements in which there is interdependence, interaction, and feedback between their elements, allowing the identification of counterintuitive, emergent, and collateral behaviors in the management of landscapes in controlled simulation environments.

Opportunity plans are part of the main concepts of Gunter Pauli's Blue Economy. They are based on the principle of the emergence of complex systems, that is, in the search for positive synergies by the arrangement of the relationships between the parts of a system. They seek to interweave opportunities so that benefits are increased in a multidimensional way (not just monetary) for investors, entrepreneurs, and communities. Through mathematical modeling, the interactions between the different opportunities that could be developed in the territory are represented and their benefits are evaluated in terms of employment, profitability, and environmental health.

The circular economy CE is a development model that seeks to minimize the negative impact of human activities through the application of principles related to the “3Rs”: reduce, reuse and recycle (Li et al. 2010), to maintain maximum utility and value of products, components, and materials at all times (Ellen MacArthur Foundation 2015b). The CE prioritizes actions that have a clear impact on the environment, such as the use of recyclable packaging; the promotion of ecological products; the reduction of emissions and waste; the evaluation of renewable and alternative energies; saving energy; the use of consumer goods with low environmental impact; ecological design; waste recovery; and dematerialization (Ghisellini, Cialani and Ulgiati 2016). In short, the CE is concerned with minimizing the environmental impact on a territory. In an economic context, the CE aims to guarantee the promotion of commercial relations with companies, strengthens stable relationships with suppliers, improves price levels concerning the quality offered and provides detailed information to customers on products and services. At the same time, the CE model can include the generation of new jobs, the improvement of the quality of life of employees, and the linking of the operation of a system with the social dimension of management in organizations (Mathews and Tan 2011 ).

An agricultural landscape is said to be sustainable when the arrangement of all the elements that constitute it has welfare as a conserved quantity. This definition affirms that environmental, economic, social, and other aspects cannot be considered separately, because among them there is a fabric that generates interdependencies, interactions, and inter-feedback that conditions all the elements of the landscape. Note also that seeking well-being to be a symmetry or law of landscape conservation requires a well-defined notion of well-being to evaluate. To establish the sustainability of agricultural landscapes, the complexity of agricultural landscapes is represented by mathematical modeling and it is evaluated if the notion of well-being considered is a conserved quantity.

Following the CAN 536 agreement, regional integration of electricity markets is seen as desirable, from the point of view of interconnections, to satisfy demands and the possible consolidation of a unified competitive market in the medium term. The main issue is the rules of the game with satisfactory benefits for all parties. In this sense, a supply and demand model was built for a regional electricity market (between nations) that leads to learning to establish the rules of the game for the integrated electricity system.

This work was the application of the strategic environmental assessment methodology to the planned expansion in Colombia for the transportation activity of crude oil, derivatives, solvent bases, and gas, taking as reference the trend scenario (by land in tank cars, in the case of crude oil, liquid fuels, derivatives, and bases), to make the comparison with the alternative scenario of transportation by pipelines.

The identification of direct, indirect, and cumulative implications (additive and synergistic) with the methodology called "Implications Networks" has been published here! The results were conclusive for the expansion plans for electricity transmission and hydrocarbon transportation in Colombia. You can consult the full report here!

The information generated by the emergency lines not only serves to dispatch resources for attention to security incidents and emergencies, but it also allows city planning, the development of social welfare policies, the prevention of emergencies, among others, through systems as command, control, communications, computing, and intelligence centers C5. The C5 are systems in which data science is the instrument for the knowledge, prevention, and care of urban environments.

The identification of attractions and resources is not enough for the development of tourism products, because these are developed in territories with socio-environmental sensitivities that in the financial evaluation of projects cannot only be considered as externalities since they determine the costs and times of the activities. implementations. In order to carry out sustainable management of tourism, it has been proposed to identify the tourist potential from the tourist attractions/resources and the socio-environmental sensitivity that these developments generate in the territory.
