- Abstract
The construction of the relationship between geography and Complexity Theory is still incipient in the national territory. The intention is connect the understandings of the Complexity Theory with the reflection of the Hierarchy notion in the conceptual-model Geosystem. The geosystem is considered as "complex singular system" and used the classic texts of Sotchava and Bertrand to the theoretical confrontations. This confrontation has important implications for the theory and geosystem model. As a result, by the Complexity Theory the geosystem is not a natural and objective phenomenon, now including the arbitrariness of the researcher and pretensions of the research for its delimitation. The human and the natural are not seen as antagonistic, but conjugated in the same web of complex relationships, involving multidomain and scales of manifestations. In the discussion about scale, as a result, the hierarchies in the Geosystem are not objective things, but spatiotemporal rhythms of interaction discerned by the researcher in the multiplicity of spatial processes. To was concluded, each rhytms of interaction between elements and forces has its own singular spacetemporality, which varies according to the nature of elements and nature of the exchange and intensity of the relationships in the different scales. The dialogue between the knowledge, methods come to deal with the multiplicity of domains and rhythms in human and natural scales.
