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 />
the huge complexity the phenomenon of sustainable development. In<br />
researches related to this concept a lot of scientific disciplines have to be<br />
included, for instance the economic area (including macroeconomics,<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 />
