Buen Vivir is a path that Latin American peoples are following in the hope of decolonising the exclusionary economic and political relations imposed by external development. This paradigm, inherited from our ancestors, is claimed today in the search for a harmonious life with nature and in conditions of equality and solidarity among human beings. This Indigenous thinking coincides with the intention to articulate the theory and practice of community social work from an environmental perspective. As demonstrated by associations formed by rural and peri-urban inhabitants to manage water supply for human consumption in Colombia. From these groups, the discipline learns the importance of promoting unity among people, values of reciprocity in the distribution of water and, the conservation of nature through cultural practices inherited intergenerationally from indigenous, Afro and mestizo ancestors.

Çevre kavramı fiziksel, sosyal, kültürel gibi pek çok unsuru bir arada bulundurmaktadır. Farklı disiplinlerin çalışma konusu olan çevre, son yıllardaki küresel ısınma, iklim krizi gibi problemlerle birlikte farklı açılardan da ele alınmaya başlanmıştır. Sosyal hizmette de çevre sosyal hizmet bilgisi ve uygulamasının odağıdır. Ekolojik yaklaşım, sistem yaklaşımı ve çevresi içinde birey bakış açısı sosyal hizmette çevrenin önemli bir yeri olduğunu gösteren kuramlardır. Bu kuramlarda sosyal hizmette çevre kavramı sosyal çevre olarak, insan merkezli bir bakış açısıyla ele alınmıştır, ancak küresel ekolojik krizlerle birlikte bu yaklaşımın değişmeye başladığı görülmektedir. Sosyal hizmette çevrenin hangi yönleriyle nasıl ele alındığı toplumu ve bilimi birçok yönden etkileyen modernizm ve postmodernizm ile bağlantılıdır. Bu nedenle makalede modernizmin ve postmodernizmin temel özelliklerinin sosyal hizmetin çevre kavramına bakışını, uygulamalarını ve araştırmalarını nasıl şekillendirdiğine yer verilmiştir.

Environmental justice is essential for improved quality of life and sustainable wellbeing. This study examines how environmental issues and related injustices are surfacing in U.S. social work practice and social work readiness to respond, and what resources social workers are most interested in. Data are from an online survey of U.S. social workers (N = 337) in Colorado, Ohio, and Tennessee. Participants answered questions about their social work background, current job, environmental issues in practice, resources, and demographics. Data were analyzed with descriptive statistics. For nine issues, at least 30% of participants reported these as surfacing sometimes or often, with the highest being poor food access (74.7%), extreme cold (58.8%), and poor green space access (43.9%). The extent varied by years of experience, job setting, and practice level. Meanwhile, fewer than 40% of social workers indicated that they were somewhat or very prepared to respond to eight out of nine issues. Interest was higher in the resources that could be used for responding to specific topics rather than environmental justice broadly. In addition to strengthening social work education regarding environmental justice, this study suggests that national, state, and local social work associations can—in partnership with growing numbers of social work scholars working on environmental justice—create and provide training, templates, and guidance for practitioners that are tailored to specific environmental justice issues.
