Ecosystem approach and the Fuzzy logic: a dialectical proposal for information on Environmental Health

Abordagem ecossistêmica e lógica Fuzzy: uma proposta dialética para o uso da informação em Saúde Ambiental

The ever-growing production and the problematization of Environmental Health have shown the need to apprehend complex realities and deal with uncertainties from the most diversified instruments which may even incorporate local aspects and subjectivities by means of qualitative realities, while broadening the capacity of the information system. This paper presents a view on the reflection upon some challenges and possible convergences between the ecosystemic approach and the Fuzzy logic in the process of dealing with scientific information and decision-making in Environmental Health.
