Abstract

The work gives a survey of basic changes in environmental plans and concepts in the period from the Stockholm Conference to the Rio de Janeiro Conference. The attention is given to the development of the environmental conscience, environmental movements, with emphasis on various changes that resulted in the appearance and growth of ecologic paradigm. The paradigm, if pitted against ideology or paradigm of industrialism, and in some cases to the ideology of paleoindustrialism, would call for a cautious, conscious attitude towards longterm or short-term aspects of development. A cautious, wholesome and attentive attitude to everyday events appears to be the basis of ecological paradigm. The article emphasizes that the forming of ecologic paradigm is not done "by itself", but that it represents the combination of changes in the theoretical hypotheses and of the results of practical, empiric dimensions of endangering the environment. In that sense, the attention is also turned to the concept of sustainable development as a part of the total ecologic paradigm. The concluding part of the article offers a short survey of the change of the position of countries of former Yugoslavia with regards to the forming and development of the cology paradigm.
