Ecological Ontology and Its Impact on Formulating Sustainable Development Visions

Abstract

This study examines environmental ontology and its role in shaping sustainable development visions by exploring the philosophical foundations governing the relationship between humans and the environment The research is based on the assumption that the contemporary environmental crisis cannot be effectively addressed through technical or economic solutions alone; rather, it requires a reconsideration of the intellectual frameworks that shape human interaction with nature Environmental ontology provides a conceptual framework that emphasizes the unity and interconnectedness of all elements within the ecological system Such a perspective contributes to developing a developmental vision based on balance between economic growth and environmental
