[editar] Gestão Social e Ambiental
No plano da educação superior e da ciência e tecnologia, as questões sociais e ambientais tem despertado interesse desde o início da década 60 do século passado, com várias áreas do conhecimento se debruçado sobre os temas, explorando aspectos tecnológicos, comportamentais, de planejamento, de gestão e de educação associados a questões variadas, tais como: questões vinculadas ao bem-estar social, a exemplo da melhoria dos padrões de vida (renda, consumo e riqueza), da participação política e governança, e das conexões e relações sociais; das questões ambientais, relacionadas ao planejamento e uso de recursos naturais, descarte de resíduos, uso e ocupação do solo, eficiência energética, gestão sustentável, entre tantos outros aspectos amplos e específicos que passaram a fazer parte das agendas de pesquisa tanto dos órgãos de fomento, como de universidades e institutos de pesquisa.
Conforme apregoam vários autores que exploram as questões ambientais no atual contexto trata-se muito mais de uma problemática eminentemente social, que foi gerada e está envolvida por um conjunto de processos sociais, na qual é preciso propor e normatizar um conjunto de processos de produção e de consumo que, sujeitos a racionalidade econômica e a lógica do mercado, degradam o ambiente e a qualidade de vida. Nesse sentido, os problemas socioambientais só existem em decorrência das formas de apropriações do mundo e da natureza a partir das relações sociais e de poder, que se materializam por meio da economia, da política, da ciência, da tecnologia, contextos históricos e culturais, etc. O desafio da atualidade está em compreender a complexidade embutida na dinâmica dos sistemas socioambientais e das suas diversas formas de articulações com outros fenômenos sociais e ambientais.
Nessa perspectiva, a pesquisa sobre a problemática socioambiental diz respeito, fundamentalmente, ao reconhecimento da relação de interdependência entre sociedade e natureza o que requer um enfoque interdisciplinar do relacionamento e da interdependência entre seres humanos e a natureza. Os problemas ambientais emergem a partir da interação de processos sociais e ecológicos, podendo ser examinados dentro de um contexto de parâmetros sociais e ambientais, assim como, espaciais e temporais. Dentro da discussão do papel das Universidades na promoção e no desenvolvimento de temas socioambientais, surgem várias perspectivas que envolvem sua própria missão:
- Ampliar a oferta acadêmica dirigida para a formação de profissionais com perfis para
colocar em prática na sua vida profissional aspectos relacionados às questões sociais e
ambientais na perspectiva de suas contribuições para um desenvolvimento mais sustentável;
- Desenvolver projetos de pesquisa que abordem temas relacionados à
sustentabilidade;
- Promover atividades de pesquisa e extensão que trabalhem os temas junto à
comunidade, ao governo e ao setor empresarial e;
- Repensar currículos que incorporem interfaces das dimensões da gestão
socioambiental.

Since the early 1960s, social and environmental issues have attracted growing scholarly interest and have been considered from a variety of perspectives, including technology, behavior, planning, management, and education. Issues related to social well-being, such as improving living standards (income, consumption, and wealth), political participation and governance, and social connections and relationships; environmental issues related to natural resource planning and use, waste management, land use and occupation, energy efficiency, sustainable management, and many other general and specific aspects that have become part of the research agenda of both funding agencies and universities and research institutes.
As several authors dealing with environmental issues in the current context claim, it is rather an eminently social problem, generated by and involved in a series of social processes in which it is necessary to propose and regulate a series of production and consumption processes that are subject to economic rationality and the logic of the market, affecting the environment and the quality of life. In this sense, socioenvironmental problems are only a result of the forms of appropriation of the world and nature by social and power relations that materialize through economics, politics, science, technology, historical and cultural contexts, and so on. The current challenge is to understand the complexity inherent in the dynamics of socioecological systems and their various forms of interconnection with other social and ecological phenomena.
From this perspective, the study of social-ecological issues is essentially about recognizing the relationship of interdependence between society and nature, which requires an interdisciplinary approach to the relationship and interdependence between humans and nature. Environmental problems arise from the interaction of social and ecological processes and can be studied in the context of social and ecological parameters as well as in spatial and temporal terms. In discussing the role of universities in promoting and developing socio-environmental issues, several perspectives emerge in relation to their own mission:
