Anomie in its scientific application in the field of the environment and geographical spaces

Keywords: Environment, Unity of law, Geographical space, Legal anomie, Principle of own acts, Legal certainty

Abstract

This article examines the phenomenon of legal anomie as it applies to environmental protection and the regulation of geographic spaces. Anomie is understood here not merely as the absence of norms, but as a structural dysfunction marked by normative contradictions, institutional fragmentation, and limited enforceability of environmental rights. These conditions undermine legal certainty and hinder the effective safeguarding of collective ecological goods. The study proposes a systematic reading of the legal framework to overcome internal inconsistencies through integrative interpretation, aligned with constitutional principles and oriented toward sustainability and territorial equity. Drawing on an interdisciplinary approach, the article frames anomie as a complex legal and epistemological challenge that demands coordinated responses across legal, political, and spatial domains.
