Abstract
The author is discussing the working draft of the methodology for the research on efficiency of miscellaneous models of environment management and its activities. The methodology has been construed mainly on purpose - to study the application on the specific problem of soil pollution in Celje community. Environment management is defined as a way to conscious overcoming of the problems of nature-society relationship by changing features of the decision-making field. Such understanding has made possible the development of three groups of instruments to start the investigating the responses different environment management have been giving. The first group of instruments is to do the examination of the attitude towards the conflict initiated by various strategies of environmental protection; the second group tends to be concluding on the attitude towards the conflict among different characteristics of the particular instruments of environment protection, while the third group is to deal with the conflict that arises when solving the problems of direct environment of environment management subjects. These subjects whose reactions should be studied by the mentioned methodology are: the ones which have caused the degradation of environment, the victim suffering the consequencies of the environment degradation, the manipulator supposed to be helping to overcome the gap between the factual and desired procedures. The conflict talked about is multidimensional: it is the developmental conflict, the conflict between characteristics of instruments of environmental protection as well as the conflict coloured by the subjectivity. The expected results of the application of the well-developed instruments are: empirical verifications of the response the subjects of the environmental management to various concepts of the environmental protection, the evaluation of the behaviour of environment management within the different levels of the conflict, the evaluation of socially most acceptable instruments for the protection of environment and, finally, the identification of the existence of environment orientations.
