Sažetak
Using the results of empirical research, the article is speaking on the perception of war and ecocide. The research has been made upon the representative sample of student population in Zagreb in 1992.
The examined students are expressing anti-war attitude and, implicitly, the need for protecting of the nature. The war is, for them, a cause of ecological catastrophes, especially if made by use of the most modern technological achievements. The examined students deem that man is still capable of controlling the war technique lessening the danger of potential environmental disasters.
The factor analysis of the component model offered as a result five latent dimensions: „war in function of the developmen“, „war as ecocide“, „nature protection after freedom is gaine“, „controlling the war technique“, „protection of nature - condition necessary for the protection of man“. Correlation matrix points to the independence of dimensions, i.e. to the existence of various concepts of war - environment relationship. To be expressing their attitude the examined students are trying to apply particular common as well as actual and political criteria.
The war is felt, on one side, as the conscious „adapting“ of the relationship of social and natural systems, or even as Öikocide i.e. destruction of the conditions necessary for the survival of not only flora and fauna but of the man as well, no matter of his ethnical origins.
