Environmental sociology:
The association between societal well-being and environmental
quality is an important topic of Sociological inquiry. Environmental Sociology as a
sub discipline within Sociology explores the various forms of interaction between
one more passing fad, nor a dramatization by militants or radical scientists, such as
the so-called radical ecologists or political ecologists who initiated work in the area
in the 1960s (FERREIRA, 1992). Environmental sociology assumes a significant
position in studying the divergence and conflict about nature (understood here, in
its broadest sense, as both the natural and constructed) and the causes and extent of
environmental problems among the diverse actors involved (BUTTEL, 1987;
REDCLIFT & WOODGATE, 1996; HANNINGAN, 1997; CATTON & DUNLAP,
1998). This type of orientation developed especially in the mid 1980s
contributing to theoretical revitalization and to a greater projection within the
discipline process motivated, in part, by the growth of environmental movements
and the increasing concern for the global effects of environmental risks (MOL,
1993; VIOLA, 1997). The previous period, between the 1970s and the beginning
