The Chances of Social Ecology

Ivan Cifrić ; Filozofski fakultet Sveučilišta u Zagrebu

Sažetak

In this article the author analyses the development of social ecology in Yugoslavia. The work focuses upon three issues: 1. the main features of the development of social ecology; 2. the potential contribution to society of social ecology; 3. the conditions determining the further development of social ecology, now being established.
What has influenced the development and the present position of social ecology are the results of scientific research in other countries as well as three groups of factors operating in Yugoslavia. These are: a) the present state of the development of economy, technology and social change; b) trends concerning the social and political subjects of development; c) the state of research and surveys in social ecology. The author assesses positively the future contributions of social ecology regarding another of his estimates — of the growth of the number of subjective and objective presuppositions and interests in socio-ecological issues. He pleads for a greater impact of socio-ecological consciousness upon democratic trend in the socio-ecological sphere, for a growing influence of the active participants of ecological decision-making and an increasing scientific competence of social ecology. In order to accomplish this, apart from the social presuppositions, what is necessary is the scientific involvement in research of sociologists and the education and spreading of ecological consciousness throughout the society.
Although social ecology is as a discipline still in the state of emergence, reflection and works in socio-ecology are already nearly two decades old.
