环境社会学研究综述——对环境社会学学科定位问题的讨论

An Review of Researches on Environmental Sociology: A discussion on the orientation of environmental sociology

In the past years the environmental problems are becoming more and more serious and the studies on the environmental problems have been very important subjects. Although some environmental sociologists represented the relation between the environment and the society as their research object, the divaricating on the attribute of the environmental variable made the confines between the environmental sociology, the ecology and the environmental economics illegible. So it embarrasses them to answer some questions such as “what is the social reasons of the environmental problems?" This paper presents that the objects of the environmental sociology include two disciplines : the SAEP(Society-Action-Environment-Paradigm)and the ESSP(Environment-Socialization-Society-Paradigm).From this perspective the paper reviews the environmental sociological researches. And the review could redound to construct some more specific analysis framework of the experiential researches of the environmental sociology.
