Environment, sustainability and citizen participation: a view from contemporary sociology

Abstract

On its critical version, sustainable development is a concept that includes a new relation between nature and society. This concept considers that environmental problems belong to a larger system that includes the interactions between natural environment, constructed environment and social environment, in which the human being can not be dissociated from his environment.
