Sustainable Development: Understanding its Meaning and Components
In 1968, Ehrlich’s book “The Population Bomb” and Meadows’ “The Limits to Growth” in 1972 heightened awareness about environmental degradation. In response, the concept of sustainable development emerged, aiming to balance progress with environmental preservation.
Key Features of Sustainable Development
ustainable development encompasses various essential features aimed at ensuring a balanced and enduring progression. Here are some salient characteristics:
Sinclair’s Model
Agricultural land use can change in response to urban growth. This theme was taken by R. Sinclair, who modified Von Thunen’s original hypothesis to suggest alternative land use patterns.
Haggerstrand’s Model
The study of diffusion processes has engaged the attention of many geographers in recent years. While these ideas were originally discussed in qualitative terms by anthropologists Clark Wissler and A.L. Kroeber, it was Haggerstrand who combined the depth of research and originality of content.
Process of Diffusion of Innovation
Diffusion of innovations consists of two processes: the dissemination of information about the innovation and the adoption of the innovation.
Diffusion: Meaning and Types
Diffusion is the process of spread of movement of a phenomenon over space and through time. Innovation is the successful introduction of ideas or artifacts, perceived as new into a given social economic system.
Environmental Determinism
Environmental Determinism suggests that in the struggle for survival (where the environment dictates human actions), people don’t have the freedom to make their own choices, and their accomplishments are seen as outcomes influenced solely by natural conditions.
