Summary/Abstract: The concept of sustainable development (created in 1975 by ONZ Environment Protection Program) has a couple of synonyms in Polish: eco-development, dynamically durable development, and self- supportive development. Eco-development is a course of economic development that does not disturb human environment in a significant and irreparable way, and combines the natural systems with the rights of economics. The concept of durable development ties institutional and political elements; socio-economic and ecological elements; and also the elements of spatial structures and of human security in general sense. Until now, the concept of ecodevelopment has been the only one which in reality is making its way towards maintaining civilization and safe future of the world. The assumption of eco-development is to achieve progress through fuller and more appropriate use of potential human capacities and of environmental concerns in a way which will guarantee their positive functioning, providing affluence and diversity of future generations to come.
