Sustainable Development Indicators: Proposal Evaluation Criteria in the Terms of an Evolutionist Approach to Decision - 2008.

The sustainable development indicators are often considered as planning tools allowing to command and control a social-ecological system. This approach is not in accordance with either the complexity of the decision processes or the individual cognitive capacities. In order to imagine some sustainable development indicators that are more in relation with the stakeholder needs, we suggest focusing the analysis on perception and learning process issues.
