Abstract: Objective: To propose an analytical framework that integrates the social technology approach into the concept of socio-bioeconomy, as its compatible technological strand, based on the concept of a social technological system. Theoretical framework: The concept of sociobioeconomy is discussed in light of the three predominant visions of bioeconomy (biotechnological, bioresources, and bioecological), proposing a conceptual-analytical framework. The social technological system concept is revised to integrate it, in a cross-cutting way, with the socio-bioeconomy. The framework integrates the dimensions of the social technological system with the dimensions of the socio-bioeconomy. Methods: The proposed framework was applied in a case study of a potential social technological system in socio-bioeconomic activities in the rubber production chain in the Amazon. Data collection included documentary research, interviews, and a technical visit. Results: the case study presented the integration of three solutions based on social technology, constituting various properties of a social technological system. The social technology system shown was compatible with the dimensions of socio-bioeconomy. Several properties of the framework were evidenced, allowing its initial analytical viability to be considered. Conclusions: The framework has advanced in the analytical detailing of socio-bioeconomy, including its technological aspect, by bringing it closer to social technology. The framework can also help with technological development in socio-bioeconomy initiatives.
