1970’lerde çevre sorunlarının gündeme gelmesi nedeniyle çevre-toplum etkileşimini inceleyen ayrı bir alan olarak ortaya çıkan Çevre Sosyolojisi henüz sosyoloji disiplini içinde kendini yeterince kabul ettirememiştir. Bu makalenin amacı, Çevre Sosyolojisi’nin kuramsal ve kavramsal çeşitliliği ile sosyolojik niteliğini ortaya koymaktır. Buna göre ideal tip biçimindeki sosyal bilim paradigmaları çerçevesinde, son kırk yıl içinde gelişen Çevre Sosyolojisi’nin kuramları ve kavramları sınıflandırılarak açıklanmıştır. Sonuç olarak, toplumsal düzeni koruyarak çevre sorunlarını çözme amacındaki Sosyo-ekonomik Metabolizma, İnsan Ekolojisi, ÇÖNT Modeli, Çevrenin Rekabet Eden İşlevleri, Ekolojik Modernleşme ve Dünya Devleti Yaklaşımları Pozitif Sosyal Bilim Paradigmasına girmekteyken bireyin ve toplumun çevre algısını öne çıkaran Aktör-İlişkiler Ağı Kuramı ve Yeniden İnşacılık yaklaşımı Yorumlayıcı Sosyal Bilim paradigmasına yakın durmaktadır. Çevre sorunlarına toplumsal eşitsizlik perspektifinden yaklaşan Kapitalizmin İkinci Çelişkisi, Dünya Sistemi, Çevresel Adalet, Toplumsal Ekoloji, Ekofeminizm, Derin Ekoloji, Koşu Bandı Üretimi ve Risk Toplumu kuramları ise Eleştirel Sosyal Bilim paradigmasına girmektedirler.
Environmental sociology, which emerged as a separate field of study of environmental-communal interaction due to the emergence of environmental problems in the 1970s, has not yet been sufficiently accepted within the sociology discipline. The purpose of this article is to reveal the theoretical and conceptual diversity and sociological nature of Environmental Sociology. Accordingly, in the framework of social science paradigms in the ideal type form, it has been explained by classifying the theories and concepts of Environmental Sociology that have evolved over the past four decades. As a result, the socio-economic metabolism, human ecology, solution model, competitive environmental functions, ecological modernization and world state approaches are entering the positive social science paradigm while promoting the perception of the individual and society of the environment, the actor-relations network theory and the rebuilding approach are close to the interpretative social science paradigm. The Second Contradiction of Capitalism, the World System, Environmental Justice, Social Ecology, Ekofemism, Deep Ecology, Running Band Production and Risk Society theories, which approach social inequality, enter the Critical Social Science paradigm.
Environmental Sociology, which was established as a separate area examining environment-society relations as environmental problems came into question in 1970s, is not accepted in sociology tradition enough. This paper aims to show theoretical diversity and sociological essence of Environmental Sociology. Hence, leading theories and concepts of Environmental Sociology developed in last forty years are classified according to social science paradigms that are ideal types. As a result, Socio-economic Metabolism, Human Ecology, POEM Model, Competing Functions of Environment, Ecological Modernization and World Society approaches aiming to solve environmental problems while preserving social order fit into Positive Social Science Paradigm. Actor-Network Theory and Constructionism focusing on the perception of environment falls into Interpretative Social Science Paradigm. Second Contradiction of Capitalism, World System, Environmental Justice, Social Ecology, Ecofeminism, Deep Ecology, Treadmill of Production and Risk Society theories approaching environmental problems through social justice frameworks are part of Critical Social Science Paradigm
