摘要: This paper explores various integrative frameworks that are contributing to an emerging transdisciplinary meta-perspective on sustainable development. It proposes a holistic/integral strategy based scale-linking design for human and planetary health: First, ‘Integral Theory’, ‘Spiral Dynamics’ Ecology’ briefly reviewed as dynamic mapping methodologies structure, facilitate mediate between diverse value systems perspectives of multiple stakeholders disciplines. Changes in worldview, system, intentionality crucial the emergence civilization. Second, is described integrator facilitator informed decision making face uncertainty. Design systemic health can catalyse sustainability transition. Third, outlines how complexity theory, combined with holistic conception health, informs approach design. Systemic scale-linking, emergent property healthy interactions relationships within complex systems. The beings, societies, ecosystems life support system fundamentally interconnected interdependent. Sustainability, process community-based learning, expressed through by ecological principles adapted local, regional global limits opportunities. In general, synergetic, symbiotic, salutogenic sacred. There need integrate ecological, social, cultural, economic psychological (spiritual) considerations into flexible responsive requires dialogue aiming appropriate solutions visions sustainability.
