For other uses, see Social ecology (disambiguation).
Social ecology studies relationships between people and their environment, often the interdependence of people, collectives and institutions. Evolving out of biological ecology, human ecology, systems theory and ecological psychology, social ecology takes a “broad, interdisciplinary perspective that gives greater attention to the social, psychological, institutional, and cultural contexts of people-environment relations than did earlier versions of human ecology.”[1] The concept has been employed to study a diverse array of social problems and policies within the behavioural and social sciences.[2]
