Abstract

Research and collection of data concerning the relationship between nature and society are essential to a scientific formulation of the ecological policies of the modern state. States must document ecological trends and undertake specialized studies within each branch of the natural or social sciences, and develop an integrated knowledge of the ecologically lawful behavior of economic subjects, individuals and all of society. By assembling this information, a state can determine an ecological norm that will create and maintain a socio-ecological and natural equilibrium. An optimal legal norm can be established only when all the advancements in the social, natural and other sciences are taken into account.

Information needed to resolve the conflicts between social development and the evolution of the natural environment is available for use in ecological management activities. The task is to select only that information which facilitates the creation of a model for rational and stable regional development in order to form and define the ecological requirements of man. The state then can determine the respective legal norms which will guarantee compliance with socio-ecological norms.

Ecological norms regulating the activities of agencies of state power and administration contain safeguards directed at ecological management through the scientific functioning, development and exploitation of the ecosystem. Ecological management and the ecological norm are interconnected; together they create an important basis for valid information about the admissible scale of human intervention into natural ecosystems.
