Original Abstract

In her paper, the author analyzes the integration of environmental, social and economical aspects of realistic decision-making. Sustainable development is to constantly improve the quality of life and of living conditions on the earth for the present and the future generations. It is a vision of progress that combines economic development, protection of the environment and social justice. General systems theory provides a common philosophical basis for communication among ecologists and sociologists and, hence, a powerful theoretical framework within which to couple models of natural and human systems Economics, sociology and environmental must be included in complex analysis as well if we want to achieve applicable results and make correct decisions. Primary aim is propose the new concept of model social- economic and environmental . Traditional algorithms use conventional mathematics i.e. equation based models. Such models are information intensive. It means that the classical models are heavily simplified. This shows that classic models are very simplified, this due to the need of using rationale, mainly qualitative models together with "fuzzy logic". Qualitative models seem to be particularly suitable for long-term predictions of unsteady state behaviour of complex systems. The accuracy of any model is strongly dependent on the accuracy of available data and knowledge. The qualitative model is the most advanced calculation method that can be used as the theoretical background for the formalisation of a rationale.
