Human Ecology: proposed requirements for academic research

Abstract

This research aims to propose requirements that will characterize research in Human Ecology (HE) in Brazil. As a methodological proposal, a bibliographic review on the subject was used, using the contributions of national and international authors, which allowed the analysis of information through the construction of articulation links. To this end, the pillars proposed by Bomfim were established as requirements to be analyzed: Interface/interchange nature-human being, that is, culture-environment; interdisciplinarity; systemic conception of the real; human emancipation. The discussion about the analyzed pillars stands out in the research and which may constitute a reference for the research carried out. Thus, this article contributes to the discussion on the theme of the epistemology of Human Ecology in Brazil.
