Abstract

Ovaj rad istražuje zeleni socijalni rad u kontekstu Hrvatske. Cilj istraživanja bio je ispitati u kojoj mjeri su socijalni radnici upoznati s konceptom zelenog socijalnog rada, identificirati konkretne primjere njegove primjene te utvrditi zapreke i potencijalne koristi ovog pristupa. Istraživanje je provedeno na uzorku od 169 socijalnih radnika u Hrvatskoj putem web anketa. Ispitane su četiri ključne kategorije: ekološka osjetljivost, informiranost o klimatskim pitanjima u kontekstu marginaliziranih skupina, upoznatost s konceptom zelenog socijalnog rada i integracija ovog pristupa u svakodnevnu praksu. Rezultati pokazuju da većina socijalnih radnika prepoznaje vrijednost uključivanja ekoloških aspekata u praksu socijalnog rada. Iako postoje sporadični primjeri primjene u praksi, konkretna integracija zelenog socijalnog rada još uvijek nije dovoljno raširena. Utvrđene su razlike u percepciji i primjeni zelenog socijalnog rada između različitih sektora i na temelju sociodemografskih podataka. Najveće prepreke identificirane su u vidu nedostatka institucionalne podrške, resursa i edukacije. Istraživanje opisuje značajan pozitivni utjecaj koji zeleni socijalni rad može imati na marginalizirane skupine i zajednicu u cjelini. Također, sugerira potrebu za dodatnim obrazovanjem socijalnih radnika o ekološkim pitanjima, razvojem politika koje će podržati širu primjenu zelenog socijalnog rada, naglašava važnost unapređenja institucionalne podrške, razvijanja infrastrukture za primjenu ekoloških praksi i jačanja međusektorske suradnje.

Abstract (english)

This research explores the concept of green social work in Croatia. The aim of the research was to examine the extent to which social workers are familiar with the concept of green social work, identify specific examples of its application, and determine the barriers and potential benefits of this approach. The study was conducted with a sample of 169 social workers in Croatia through web surveys. Four key categories were examined: ecological sensitivity, awareness of climate issues in the context of marginalized groups, familiarity with the concept of green social work, and the integration of this approach into daily practice. The results show that most social workers recognize the value of incorporating ecological aspects into social work. Although there are sporadic examples of its application, the concrete integration of green social work is still not widespread. Differences in the perception and application of green social work were found across various sectors and based on sociodemographic data. The major barriers identified include a lack of institutional support, resources, and education. The research describes the significant positive impact that green social work can have on marginalized groups and the community as a whole. It also suggests the need for further education of social workers on ecological issues, the development of policies to support broader implementation of green social work, and emphasizes the importance of improving institutional support, developing infrastructure for implementing ecological practices, and strengthening intersectoral collaboration.
