Urbana ekologija i društveni uzroci devastiranja okoliša građenjem
Urban Ecology and Social Causes of Environmental Devastation through Building

Summary/Abstract: Environmental protection that does not include protection from building pollution can no longer be considered as environmental protection. Building, deprived of the creative artistic process, causes damage thus making building without architecture one of the serious factors in environmental pollution. It has become customary to call the following architecture: documentation, blueprints, actions, procedures, regulations, urban planning conditions, building permits and buildings – where there is no architecture. Protection from devastation through building can be based only on creating conditions for the development of highvalue architecture. There is no other way. The task of politics is to protect the environment and provide conditions for creating an architecture of high values. Architectural devastation is originally a social and spiritual disorder, whose consequences are then realised in the environment. The subject of urban ecology and other disciplines it is developing with, is the protection of the environment from architectural devastation as well as removal of causes leading to it which are none other than social and spiritual disorders. In urban ecology it is necessary to develop methods and register cases of devastation through building, create data bases, include them in urban plans in the form of annexes and develop salvage programmes. Urban ecology is based and developed on the criticism of architecture because cases have to be interpreted in thorough analyses. The causes of these disorders have to be described and monitored through social mechanisms and structures in order to repair the damage.
