Multi-Scale Integrated Analysis of Societal and Ecosystem Metabolism
= an open framework able to take into account the economic, environmental, social, cultural, technical and political dimensions in an integrated analysis, accounting for different flows such as monetary, energy, waste or water.

Description
"The results of the MuSIASEM (Multi-Scale Integrated Analysis of Societal and Ecosystem Metabolism ) are sets of georreferenced vectorial indicators that are easy to understand, and this is one of the strengths of the method. But it is build on strong and heavy theoretical blocks.
This is the kind of model we need to compare between market efficiency and social knowledge economy/p2p efficiency... "
Discussion
Andres Delgado:
"SENPLADES working in cooperation with the IASTE group [1] have built an open framework able to take into account the economic, environmental, social, cultural, technical and political dimensions in an integrated analysis, accounting for different flows such as monetary, energy, waste or water. As a result, ultimately we can get congruent relations among the different set of variables.
The results of the MuSIASEM (Multi-Scale Integrated Analysis of Societal and Ecosystem Metabolism ) are sets of geo-referenced vectorial indicators that are easy to understand, and this is one of the strengths of the method. But it is build on strong and heavy theoretical blocks.
- THIS* is the kind of model we need to compare between market
efficiency and social knowledge economy/p2p efficiency... "
