This Elgar Companion book seeks to frame sustainability as an exemplar of transdisciplinary science informing critical geography while improving future scenarios for the world communities that are debating prospective fates between the rich North and the poor South, the modern urban and the backwards rural, and everything in between. Through the following pages the reader will find unorthodox views about sustainable development and sustainability science, challenging dialectics and incorporating alternative propositions for defining sustainability as the maintenance, improvement or regeneration of living conditions in the planet for both human and more-than-human constituents (Gibbes et al. 2018). The use of mountain studies exemplifies the new narrative of integrative, holistic approaches for geoliteracy about mountainscapes and will serve to motivate further research in the field of transdisciplinary mountain science. Earlier calls for transdisciplinary approaches to understanding landscapes were made by Naveh and Liebermann (1984) who viewed landscape ecology as a transdisciplinary, ecosystem-education approach, based on general system theory, cybernetics and ecosystemology as a branch of the total human ecosystem science. Yet, despite the more comprehensive planning angle exhibited in Europe contrasting to the more geospatialbased landscape ecology of North America (Forman & Godron 1984), the notion of transdisciplinary science still retained the character of positivistic Western Ecological Knowledge (WEK). It was not until 1992 with the development geographies of the Global South approach to Political Ecology that transdisciplinarity became a paradigm to understanding nature and culture from a Latin American perspective (Naveh et al. 2002) and from the critical move to activate interdisciplinary studies and multidisciplinary studies favoring the integration of alternative epistemologies (Lang et al. 2012). “Mountains” as an exemplar of the challenge of packing sustainability from frameworks of development geographies, area studies and biogeography of socio-ecological systems (SES) add to a decadal effort from a plethora of mountain scholars of inserting a recognizable goal of a new transdisciplinary field, montology (Mahat and Boom 2008). The reason for this contemporary framing of sustainability is the impetus that new paradigms to understand human–environmental relations from several perspectives at the same time (Dunlap and Van Liere 1978; Dunlap et al. 2000; Boillat, Chapter 19, this volume) bring to post-phenomenological landscape studies in the geographies’ frontier of decolonial theories and hybrid narratives. Recently, the search for integrative approaches to the understanding of Complex Adaptive Systems (CASs) and the long-term stewardship of mountain ecosystems as SESs has led to a renewed focus in “montology” (Haslett 1998). Thus, the evolving theoretical and practical applications of critical geography
这本埃尔加伙伴书试图将可持续发展作为跨学科科学的典范,为关键地理学提供信息,同时为正在辩论富裕的北方和贫穷的南方、现代城市和落后的农村以及介于两者之间的一切之间的未来命运的世界社会改善未来情景。通过以下几页,读者将发现关于可持续发展和可持续性科学的非正统观点,挑战辩证法,并将可持续性定义为维护、改善或再生地球上人类和非人类成分的生活条件的替代命题(Gibbes et al. 2018)。山地研究的使用体现了对山地景观地理知识的综合、整体方法的新叙述,并将有助于推动跨学科山地科学领域的进一步研究。Naveh和Liebermann(1984)更早地呼吁用跨学科的方法来理解景观,他们认为景观生态学是一种跨学科的生态系统教育方法,基于一般系统理论、控制论和生态系统学,是整个人类生态系统科学的一个分支。然而,尽管与北美更基于地理空间的景观生态学(Forman & Godron 1984)相比,欧洲表现出更全面的规划角度,但跨学科科学的概念仍然保留了实证主义西方生态知识(WEK)的特征。直到1992年,随着全球南方政治生态学方法的发展地理学,跨学科性才成为从拉丁美洲角度理解自然和文化的范式(Naveh等人,2002年),以及激活跨学科研究和多学科研究的关键举措,有利于整合替代认识论(Lang等人,2012年)。“山脉”作为从发展地理学、区域研究和社会生态系统(SES)的生物地理学框架中包装可持续性挑战的范例,增加了大量山地学者十年来的努力,为一个新的跨学科领域插入一个可识别的目标,monmonology (Mahat和Boom 2008)。这种可持续发展的当代框架的原因是推动了从几个角度同时理解人与环境关系的新范式(Dunlap和Van Liere 1978;Dunlap et al. 2000;Boillat,第19章,本卷)带来后现象学景观研究的地理学前沿的非殖民化理论和混合叙事。最近,寻找综合方法来理解复杂适应系统(CASs)和作为SESs的山地生态系统的长期管理,导致了对“monmonology”的重新关注(Haslett 1998)。因此,批判地理学的理论和实践应用不断发展

Montology is a transdisciplinary field of research committed to the sustainable development of the world’s mountain regions. In this context, cities in mountains have been little investigated. The aim of this chapter is to advance a montological perspective on the study of cities in mountains. One key to understanding mountain cities is their specific geographic position within natural and cultural space and their topographic location. Related to this are factors as accessibility and the reach of central-place goods and services. Location is also linked to numerous risk factors (earthquakes, volcanic activity, mass movements, floods), which are exacerbated by climate change. There are additional societal and/or cultural challenges for the sustainable development of mountain cities (periand post-suburbanization, tourism, immigration, etc.). A transdisciplinary human– environment approach is needed to meet these challenges and ensure sustainability, and it involves experts, decision-makers, and the population at large.
