The environment is a central axis of academic discussion, but even so, there are theoretical difficulties in understanding environmental problems. Environmental Geography provides arguments to articulate the relationships between society and nature and the possibility of focusing on the environmental system as an object of study. The aim of this article is to provide theoretical, methodological and operational elements for the evaluation of the interrelationship between wetland ecosystems and urban localities in Uruguay based on three case studies and analysing them from the theoretical and conceptual context of Environmental Geography. The methodological strategy is based on a multi-scale analysis: at the national scale, studying the situation of the interrelationship between wetlands and urban areas, and at the basin scale, case studies are selected to address the specific conditions of the relationship. In Uruguay, 50% of urban localities are located in wetland territories, but no national strategy can be identified to solve the problem of flooding events in urban areas. Environmental Geography offers the possibility of making the interrelationships between urban spaces and the environments where they develop visible as it makes it possible to analyse the causes of the problem at the basin level in order to achieve sustainable management.

环境地理学视角下的城市湿地及其动态与管理策略

环境是学术讨论的中心轴，但即便如此，理解环境问题仍存在理论上的困难。环境地理学为阐明社会与自然之间的关系以及将环境系统作为研究对象的可能性提供了论据。本文旨在通过三个案例研究并从环境地理学的理论和概念背景分析它们，为评估乌拉圭湿地生态系统与城市地区之间的相互关系提供理论、方法和操作要素。方法策略基于多尺度分析：在国家尺度上，研究湿地与城市地区之间相互关系的情况，在流域尺度上，选择案例研究来解决这种关系的具体情况。在乌拉圭，50% 的城市地区位于湿地地区，但无法确定解决城市地区洪水事件问题的国家战略。环境地理学提供了使城市空间和它们发展的环境之间的相互关系变得可见的可能性，因为它可以在流域层面分析问题的原因，以实现可持续管理。
