2. Human Resources and Sustainable Development Relation
Upon acceleration of technological development, sustainable development and sustainability, becomes more significant in developed and developing countries today for more efficient use of natural sources so as to enable use by next generations. Sustainable development is the process of establishing balance between human resources and nature in a way and setting a better life style for next generations without damaging natural resources. It is the planning of life in future and sustainable development. It is the human resources, the fundamental factor of production that will provide such sustainability because sustainable development is possible with the use and management of human resources not only in aspect of socio-economic but also in ecological, local and cultural dimensions. Quality of life is associated with the quality of those variables.
Revealing of issues of fast capitalist growth causing ecologic unbalancing post World War II has also started questioning of relations between development and environment. Sustainable development defined as “improvement of the quality of human life while living within the carrying capacity of supporting eco-systems"” under the report issued by UNEP and WWF will be conducted by human resources (Ministry of Development; 2012 p.6) as the most important component of development and fundamental production factor is human resources.
