Protection of the Environment from the Negative Effects of Socio-economic Systems

Abstract

Environmental protection consists in maintaining the dynamics of environmental systems and in the reflex of events existing and shaping human society. Humans represent one of the most important elements of threat and danger to fragile ecological systems. Human confrontation with ecosystems depends on behavior and needs, which in this regard are also shaped by socio-economic aspects. In natural processes, socio-economic aspects presented in society can begin to slow down, stop or completely destroy these processes. There is disruption of favorable conditions for life on the planet and disruption of functional eco-systems. This work focuses on the evaluation of socio-economic aspects, as an element having an impact on the environment. The procedure is based on the model of the concentric zonal structure of the city by E.W. Burges and on the multi-core model of Harris and Ullman, from which the settings for the formation of a healthy and functional eco-environment can be derived. Thus, the sustainability of properly functioning ecosystems can be effectively planned with the help of tools - culture, economy and society. By aligning social needs with the correct setting of socio-economic aspects in a given society, it is possible to shape society’s thinking related to the willingness to solve the environmental problems of its surroundings. Properly set socio-economic-cultural programs and ways of socio-economic rewards of a person, success in environmental protection can be achieved.
