Attitudes of the Rural Population Towards Pollution
Ivan Cifrić
Sažetak
The research was carried out in three
different types of village: mountain, plain
and suburban. During processing, 116
respondents were selected from each type
of household. The questionnaire included
opinions on: environmental pollution,
attitude towards nature, energy, especially
nuclear energy, and expectations from the
future. The Instrumentarium were
statements about life and workvalues,
about the concept of the ideal society and
about ecological problems, obtained from
58 statements on scales of the Likert
type.
The article gives a survey of the basic
values of village inhabitants, according to
the type of household (farming, part-time,
non-farming and pensioner-old peoples’),
on environmental pollution in Yugoslavia
and the reasons for it. The population is
interested in this subject. It considers
that the problem of pollution is
urgent both in Yugoslavia and in the
world, and that the main reason for
pollution are social conditions and lie
in social organization. Regardless of
which type of household the rural
population belongs to, it considers that
technology is of secondary importance for
pollution in comparison with society.
In the opinion of the author,
microresearch into rural areas gives
some elements for a more lasting and
complex survey of evaluations when
demands for an increase in the standard of
living clash with the ecological
consciousness. This is one such
microresearch.
