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.”The concept has been employed to study a diverse array of social problems and policies within the behavioural and social sciences.
