About the subject
Human ecology is a socially oriented, environmental science subject that studies the interaction between human societies and the natural environment. You will gain knowledge about the causes of contemporary environmental problems and examine the social organization and technology needed to achieve sustainable development. Human ecology is based on the idea that society and nature develop in relation to each other. Societies develop under the influence of natural conditions. At the same time, environmental problems and conflicts are influenced by various socio-political and ecological factors.
