Industrial ecology

Chicago School of Social Ecology has played its vital role in the development of urban ecology theory as the sociologists and ecologists from aforementioned school such as Robert Park and Earnest Burgess propagated that Central Business District (CBD) impacts urban and downtown planning, urban renewal, urban expansions, housing projects, commercial activities, industrialization, community development and urban ecological system. Next, the Berlin School of Urban Ecology also extended the aforementioned

triggers of American environmental protection movement. Since then, ecocriticism gradually emerged as the times demand. This concept can be traced back to the 1970s when Joseph Meek came up with the term "literary ecology" in his essay entitled “The Comedy of Survival: Studies in Literary Ecology " in 1974, advocating that literary criticism should explore "the relationship between humans and other species," and carefully examine and explore the literature’s impact on human’s behaviors and

highly important in shaping a person’s environment, where a different combination is met with a distinct response, thus placing great emphasis on the understanding of intersectionality through the lens of the sociological imagination. Through social ecology, intersectionality and the sociological imagination intertwines together to connect social issues and environmental problems as interrelated, where to solve one side, the other side can not be ignored. To help protect our environment, we must begin

Brinkerhoff 3/4/15 Advanced Ecology Midterm (1) Why is scale important in ecology? Ecology is the study of the distribution and abundance of organisms, their interactions between each other and their environment, and the structure and function of ecosystems. To this end, the scale (spatial, functional, temporal, organizational, etc.) at which we observe nature and the multitude of environments that comprise it is an extremely important factor in the study of ecology.

If they cannot be continued indefinitely then they are not sustainable (Daly 1990). It is a state in which the demands on the environment can be met without reducing its capacity to allow all people to live well

Cedric Quintana Prof Cassidy Litle Eng 122-008 July 15, 2017 Rights of Nature We must take care of our environment by continually educating our youth on natural selection and the four laws of ecology, and supporting environmental movements that recognize the rights of nature. Impacts of climate change are increasingly felt by Earth’s inhabitants including us, humans. The current warming, which is only one degree Celsius, has affected different ecological processes such as “species’ genetics, seasonal

of the field of ecology, would prioritize the status of America's natural environment in the political process, and lashed back against the increasingly polluted world Americans lived in, on a legal level. Rather than a spiritual belief in the divinity of nature's beauty, environmentalists drew upon a new rationale, being the new science of ecology, that grew through the support and funding of government agencies, educational institutions as well as

cities in case studies. The urban ecology theory and a closely related concept of urban metabolism can explain the technical aspects of urban density and growth but human influences are not accounted for in the assessment. However, human scholarship is a key component that shapes the metabolic processes in urban ecologies and in turn alters the initial footprint. By examining the historical context of urban ecology, the early stages and latter results of the urban ecology theory being transformed from

Ecocriticism as, “the study of the relationship between literature and the physical environment” (xviii). According to Glotfelty, William Ruckert introduces the term Ecocriticism in his essay Literature and Ecology: An Experiment in Ecocriticism in 1978, where he means by the term “the application of ecology and ecological concepts to the study of literature”(xx). After this, lots of other terms like ecopoetics, environmental literary criticism and green cultural studies were circulating in the literary

urban spaces. Amid a post-industrial world, it is crucial the ecological knowledge be applied to building systems to solve urban environmental needs and concerns. Ian McHarg, in his seminal text Design with Nature, suggests that landscape should be the overarching principle that governs urban space . The incorporation of green infrastructure such as native vegetation, natural materials, and fabricated soils, into urban spaces is crucial in improving overall human ecology Fredrick Law Olmstead, a
