| Description
| - The paper explains the concept of contemporary cultural ecology, a scientific approach reflecting the relationship between human society and natural environment. This approach is used by the scholars of Faculty of Arts at Charles University in Prague, Czech Republic. Special attention is paid to the links between cultural ecology and landscape ecology, interdisciplinary study of biophysical as well as societal driven processes and patterns in landscapes. We present important disciplines of social sciences that focused on the relationship of humans and environment, and which inspired our concept of cultural ecology (Chicago school human ecology appears of 1920's, anthropological cultural ecology of Julian Steward, social ecology of Murray Bookchin, human ecology presented by Gerald Young and environmental sociology of William Catton and Riley Dunlap). Apart from the sources of inspiration mainly from the US, we also briefly summarize some Czech inspiration, e.g. social ecology of Bohuslav Blažek, concentrating mostly on rural areas or the sociological approach towards environmental problems of Jan Keller. Furthermore, four constitutive principles of today's cultural ecology are discussed. These include: 1) focus on the problems of present times instead of escapes into the past or the future, 2) integrative approach which is aware of the pitfalls of inter- or transdisciplinarity, 3) cultural core of society-environment relationships, i.e. reflection on the society-environment relationship through culture, and 4) dialogue between human (society) and environment (nature). Finally, the landscape as an object of study of cultural ecology is briefly discussed. We conclude that cultural ecology is a broad approach, stimulating discussions among various academics rather than a well-defined rigorous scientific discipline. We believe this to be the benefit of cultural ecology, which can foster illuminating discussions about important environmental issues.
