Demographic Analysis, Integrated Approach, Interdisciplinary Research, Population Ecology.Abstract
This study examined the use of demographic analysis across human and natural sciences to explore the breadth of its application and its value as an analytical tool beyond traditional demographic research. A descriptive-analytical approach, supported by comparative analysis, was employed through a systematic review and evaluation of relevant studies, which were organized into three thematic categories according to their fields of application.
The findings indicate that demographic analysis maintains its core analytical principles despite being applied in diverse scientific contexts, while the selection of demographic indicators varies according to the characteristics of the phenomena under investigation. The study further demonstrates that the flexibility of demographic analytical tools enables their application in human, environmental, and biological research, supporting an integrated perspective for investigating complex phenomena.
