Socio-ecological trends in the village and town
Ivan Cifrić
Sažetak
In 1988 a empirical research project was
carried out in Croatia about
socio-ecological trends on a stratified
sample of 2,714 respondents. The article
presents the results and tested differences
in three types of settlement: in the village,
mixed settlement and the town. The
contents of the instrument given on
numerical scales through nineteen
statements refers to the problem of man,
nature and technology.
The results obtained whow that the type of
settlement does not influence the degree to
which the contents of the statements are
desirable. The most desirable contents arc
those that highly respect nature and its
protection. The respondents differed
statistically in statements about
technology and nature, and the difference
was felt between the inhabitants of the
villages and towns, and between those of
mixed settlements and towns. The villages
and mixed settlements still belong to the
recognizable rural culture and mixed
settlements cannot be identified as a
special culturological type.
Component analysis extracted four
socio-ecological trends that the author
calls: "anthropocentrism based on
technological optimism", "naturalistic
determinism", "rejecting progress and
returning to the natural way of life", and
"technological optimism for the future".
These trends exist parallelly. When stricter
criteria were applied in statistical
processing, only the anthropoccntrical and
naturalistic trends remained.
It is to be expected that in future conflict
between town and village will decrease in
the material domain and that
confrontation and links in the social and
ecological domain will grow, especially
under international influence.
