Analýza stratégií adaptácie na spoločensko-ekonomické zmeny

Year, pages: 2004, 282 - 303

This paper deals with the problem of life strategies, their creation, existing and changing. Presented model is based on the theory of Conrad Kottak representing cultural ecology school. We try to explain the choice of the concrete life strategy by the citizens in the village Liptovská Teplička (northern Slovakia) depending on the characteristics of the environment and the set of implicit assumptions about the world: worldview. Following Kottak, we try to take into consideration two basic characteristics of citizen´s worldview - access to goods and exposition to disturbances providing four basic ecotypes. Using this model, we try to explain changes in adaptation strategies in 1990-ties in relation to worldview change by two populations living in our target village - Slovak and Roma. Several predictions concerning negative phenomena (marginality and fatalism, e.g.) can follow our explication and provide source of hypotheses for further research.
