Social Ecology
Social Ecology is the study of the relationship between social, economic and political structures and the environment. It examines how environmental issues intersect with social issues to create complex systems that shape and are shaped by our societies. Social Ecology explores the connections between humans and their natural environment and studies the ways in which people interact with their environment and how those interactions determine their health, wellbeing and social development. This interdisciplinary field has applications in areas such as community development, urban planning, public health, sustainable development, conflict resolution and conservation. By understanding social-ecological systems, we can identify and eliminate sources of environmental degradation and build more sustainable relationships between humans and the environment.
