SOCIOLOGY AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
Ognjen Čaldarović
; Filozofski fakultet, Zagreb
Sažetak
The author represents the basic characteristics of sociology as
those of a synthetic science, but is also considering its importance within the
concept of sustainable development. The problem of imagined role of the
sociology lies in the lack of the global and widely accepted sociology theory,
and the entanglement of micro and macro approach in explaining the social
reality. The global concept of sustainable development is made problematic by
all the concepts of capacity, endangering of the balance, overburdening of the
system and by the elements of making the aspects of universality, globality,
completeness and interrelations operational. The methods to include sociology,
as a modern applicative social discipline, usefully into such a concept are
also problematical. In the report there are short surveys of the contributions
of those sociological disciplines within which the individual elements of the
sustainable development are studied and critically valorised (as e.g. urban
sociology, sociology of tourism, social ecology). The concept of the
sustainable development is defined by the characteristics of social reality to
which the applicability of the concept is being tried, only to finally make
problematical even some basic characteristics of the reality. The end part
emphasises the role of sociology in the postwar reconstruction of Croatia and,
according to the author, it can be successfully and efficiently realised only
by the concept of sustainable development.
