Industrialization and Rural Environments
Ivan Cifrić
Sažetak
The author writes about the
influence of the industrial
revolution on changes in rural
environments. This process must
today be analyzed in the context
of: a) the middle-class society in
which a type of industrial society
characteristic of both socialism and
capitalism has developed and b) in
the context of the fact that many
rural environments have undergone
a certain degree of industrialization.
The typical rural environments
described by anthropologists hardly
exist any longer, especially in
Europe.
The author considers that
industrialization is the reason for
the specific Western-European
»aggressiveness« towards nature.
This aggressiveness is realized
through technology with whose
penetration into the village (rural
environment) also penetrate the
values of growth and tendencies
that are destructive of nature.
Industrialization has brought the
village many positive and also
many negative consequences, but its
essential intention is to completely
destroy the village. Thus the
author emphasizes the importance
of spatial planning of settlements
and not only of towns, because
combined with modern ecologically
clean technologies this will make
the village more attractive and
humane for man to work and live
in. Industrialization cannot be
discarded, but it is necessary to
find a harmonious balance between
technology and the rural
environment.
