That is why, it is justly emphasized that sustainable development is a job for<br />

everyone, every individual, organization or institution, regardless of the field<br />

they operate in (sustainable development is business of everyone). Some<br />

authors explain the sustainable development as a necessary condition for<br />

qualitative life, relating the concept of sustainable development to the<br />

progress of science on which the development and implementation of that<br />

concept depends. Science has to recognize the problems, not only to describe<br />

them. It has to analyze, understand and evaluate the cognizance, confirm and<br />

foresee the upcoming situations and determine next activities and directions<br />

of the sustainable development, as well as determine the way of managing<br />

the development processes of this concept. In this respect, the hyperdisciplinary<br />

character of the sustainable development is mentioned which<br />

sometimes can cause difficulties in exploring the concept of sustainable<br />

development. We fully agree with this conclusion especially if we consider<br />

microeconomics, developmental economic sciences, corporate economic<br />

sciences, etc.) Then, law and social sciences also need to be included,<br />

without leaving out areas like biology, geology, geographical, medicine,<br />

chemistry, technology, machines and electronics, information, construction<br />

and spacious planning, physics, agriculture, political sciences and a lot other<br />

scientific disciplines.<br />

In theory and practice there are also other definitions for the sustainable<br />

development. Therefore, being aware of not mentioning all important<br />

components of the sustainable development, we tried to synthesize certain<br />

definitions of the concept of sustainable development, by revealing some of<br />

our personal views as well. The sustainable development is a very complex<br />

phenomenon which keeps open the possibility to add even more definitions<br />

and explanations for the notion itself, such as in terms of the deep ethical<br />

value of the concept, the special carefulness towards the most sensitive<br />

groups, etc.<br />

The concept of sustainable development and the natural<br />

resources<br />

The appearance and development of the concept of sustainable<br />

development is a result of awareness strengthening in people about the<br />
