Description
Summary:Industrial ecology can have different definitions and applications whether it is considered in its technical or human approaches. Among this diversity of approaches, a new research field enlightened the relationship between industrial ecology and its territorial dimension. This article paves the way toward further discussions on the consequences, for industrial ecology, of the possible interactions between this disciplinary field, on the one hand, and the material, organizational, identity and even systemic dimensions of the territory, on the other hand. We question the two major conceptions of industrial ecology through their understanding of the territory: 1/ the technical conception of industrial ecology which involves the material dimension of the territory; 2/ the human conception of industrial ecology which addresses the organizational and identity dimensions of the territory. We then submit to discussion a third conception of industrial ecology which appeals to a more systemic definition of the territory and opens a pathway toward a better articulation of is material, organizational and identity dimensions.
