Methods of Solving Complex Problems in Science
Summary
This methodology paper discusses approaches to solving complex problems in science and technology, using tourism architecture as a case study. The general research frameworks discussed are applicable to the multidisciplinary challenges of understanding and managing microplastic pollution.
Annotation. Tourism in the modern world has become the engine of development of many processes: economic, technological, communicative, etc. The level of tourism development also has a great influence on architecture: the demands for authenticity contribute to the creation of distinctive objects that attract people's attention and generate a desire to visit this or that place in the world. Hotels are an integral part of the tourism industry in both urban and nonurban environments. More and more people want recreational services in a natural environment, away from the hustle and bustle of the city. At the same time, the architecture of hotels is oriented towards the manifestation of the regional characteristics of a particular place. This article presents an analysis of current experiences in hotel construction, taking into account local conditions and innovative technologies.

Solutions to Plastic Pollution: A Conceptual Framework to Tackle a Wicked Problem
This review proposed a conceptual framework for organizing the diverse technological, governance, and societal solutions to global plastic pollution, mapping the value-laden issues that drive different actors' preferences for particular approaches.
Tackling Single-Use-Plastic in small touristic islands to reduce marine litter: co-identifying the best mix of policy interventions
Not relevant to microplastics — this study uses participatory stakeholder methods to design policy strategies for reducing single-use plastic waste in the tourism sector on small Greek islands, focused on upstream prevention rather than microplastic science.
How problems with microplastics in research and application can be overcome
This methodological review addressed common problems in micro- and nanoplastic research, including challenges in hazard identification, exposure assessment, and risk characterization arising from the complex mixture nature of MNPs. The authors proposed practical solutions and standardization approaches to improve the reliability of microplastic risk assessments.
Embrace complexity to understand microplastic pollution
This commentary argued that advancing microplastic science requires embracing the complexity of these pollutants rather than relying on narrow experimental models and inconsistent methods. The authors called for standardized methodologies and research designs that account for environmental context and global change interactions.
Transdisciplinary science and the importance of Indigenous knowledge
This paper is not directly about microplastics — it is a conceptual article arguing that transdisciplinary science and Indigenous knowledge partnerships are essential for achieving transformational environmental sustainability outcomes, using pollution as one example of complex challenges requiring such approaches.
