The Community-based Environmental Awareness

Since the industrial revolution, from the micro-society clothing, food, accommodation to macro social policy and system, the earth-shaking changes have taken place. In the process of social development, human unbridled nature, highlighting environmental issues has become an obstacle to the progress of human society and become a stumbling block to improving the people's living standards.Faced with such serious environmental problems. all sectors of society concern the environment and try to basically remove the hidden dangers. Under different management strategies and environmental issues, the Western Environmental Sociology parties thinking ,I believe that the solution of environmental problems, with emphasis on improving human environmental awareness. trying to increase human behavior to the spirit to seek ways to solve environmental problems.The first article discussed the definition of environmental awareness ,environmental awareness as a social awareness is impacted in the process by the degree of severity. Western Environmental sociologist Riley E.Dunlap and the William R.Cattonin put the "new ecological paradigm" (NEP) on the basis of the"paradigm of human-centrism". Ecological new paradigm through the establishment of relations between man and nature revealed humanity is the part of nature.In the course of its development, we must not neglect the human ecological law, although no words relating to environmental awareness, However, it reveals the environmental awareness of the theoretical connotation, and laid the ideological foundationfor environmental awareness. Chinese scholars Dayong Hong includes three levels : environmental awareness of knowledge about the environment; Understanding of the policies and regulations; understanding of the relationship between man and nature. Lin Bing think that the environmental awareness is self-understanding, self-expression and self-reflection. Based on the above scholar's viewpoint, the author concludes that environmental awareness should include two main aspects : The level of awareness on the environment and environmental protection acts conscious level.Perspective on environmental awareness. This paper analyzes the environmental sociologist John.A Hannigan's social constructivism, he think that environmental issues can not be "reification" itself, it must be constructed by individuals or organizations and considered to be worrying that must take action to tackle the situation. Japanese sociologists look at the environmental movement environmental awareness from the perspective of a dynamic. Based on the above perspective for the study and the experience we lined in the T community materials, environmental awareness will be divided into three levels:the identity of the state of the environment, environmental awareness and responsibility. Through the analysis of empirical data, the use of qualitative research methods to have this conclusion : People are strongly sense of identity in the current env ironmental situation , but the lack of participation and sense of responsibility for environmental protection. Also, different groups will have a more nuanced.The paper will discuss the current environmental awareness and the community together. Lack of environmental awareness in the community of T . The community Community functions is lack and make modern environmental awareness is lack. First, the integration of functional lack. Community integration targets as indirect environmental awareness in the community, the process of integration, integrating the functionality of the community play an immeasurable role in the establishment of environmental awareness. I believe it is precisely because of the lack of community integration centers that environmental awareness is lack. Secondly, the community culture of incentives, constraints lack of environmental awarenessfactors. Third, a sense of belonging, a lack of identification with the community, a sense of dependency, the lack of environmental concerns felt.Finally, the lack of community Environment identity. The the lack of recognition of community environment, even the existence of discrimination and stigma of such status.The article further discusses how to improve urban environmental awareness strategy and traditional communities is conducive to raising environmental awareness. These factors include personal reputation system, the traditional cultural values, social bonds. First, the personal reputation system. In traditional communities, the specific decision-making and implementation functions of Environmental Protection, said "elders" to assume the important responsibilities. When the destruction of forest resources was facing a crisis, they will come forward. to deforestation, the destruction of forests were informed about the destructive consequences and the village will to stop deforestation, This time they traced the infection by the village people, because of this authority they will give up their destructive acts. Traditional environmental awareness have maintained close relations and personal reputation, leaving this relationship environmental awareness of the depth will be greatly affected. Secondly, the traditional cultural values. Lacking of modern culture in the community, environmental awareness have been very seriously affected. Community is a focus on its traditional belief in the value of the internal Community, cultural beliefs may be targeted tuteng signs , which can also be biological in nature, in which cultural values, and the improvement of people's environmental awareness will become the spiritual force of nature. Finally, the community bonds. The establishment of social bonds help reduce the cost of the resource. Owners usually developed a close social relations through reciprocity, to be integrated into the management of resources means : as an informal constraints, The main function is to link the international community from the constraints of others praise. Prisoner's Dilemma in the face of public resources in the community or damage problems, People who make problems unworkable first show is "sorry."The article concludes with a constructive proposal, the functions of a modern community integration and cultural functions and so on is Lack,but it is only a temporary phenomenon of socio-economic under development, How to develop community economies, enrich their cultural life is the main thrust of the community building, raise awareness of the environment is a constant, gradual process, but we must believe that It raised the level of environmental awareness,because environmental issues at the source will gradually be radical. Because of increased environmental awareness, people are more reasonable to deal with the product of natural and human relations, to achieve a balance between supply and the natural world.Always in the social development, we can not follow the old path of treatment after pollution. Therefore, we should enhance environmental awareness and protect the environment. Traditional communities have recognized the traditional spirit of our culture, but in promoting modern civilization, we lack the traditional inheritance, especially environmental awareness factors. we should abandon the idea that traditional factors from the community to raise environmental awareness is a retro idea .Traditional communities in the face of modern culture we should focus on the criticalsuccession. We inherit traditional factors and improve the environmental awareness.
