7.5 Ecolgy Of CPA

Already seen the idea of ecology was absent in traditional pub ad. ecology was never discussed as it was never considered relevant administration considered relevant administration theories and principles were propounded and believed to be universal and ecology did not matter.

However, when CPA started developing from the late 1940s onwards The Idea of Ecology started being emphasized. It was argued that-
a)Administration system exists in ecology and not in the vacuum.
b)ecology is a suprasystem and effects the administrative subsystem significantly.
c)A different ecological framework will necessitate different administrative responses because of variations in conditioning factors like History, Geography, economy, polity, socio-demographic conditioning etc.

Thus, the idea of ecology became the very foundation region or justification for CPA, comparative PubMed was required because the idea of ecology became acceptable. Its argued by many commentators that"the idea of ecology was an improvement and a desirable trend shift from the ecology ideas". The " ecology of ideas". The ecology of an idea is an expression that conveys that every idea has an ecology ie..idea, theory, model is invariably a by-product of the ecological reality of time and space where it was born but erroneously the idea would be propounded as universal ie..it will not have an "idea of ecology"

ie..Ecology of an idea was always there but an idea of ecology was absent in TPA and was adopted by CPA.

1.J.M GAUS

The First thinker to talk about the idea of Ecology in Public administration was J.M. gauss in the late 1940s when he conducted a research to study the impact of American ecology on American Public administration. He wanted to study how historical sociological and other factors may or may not influence the administration. He came up with a list of six ecological factors which influenced U.S. administration namely people. place, Physical technology, Social technology, personality, wishes and aspirations of citizens, catastrophes.

Thus J.M Gauss was able to bring to the focus, the major role which social economical condition factor lying in ecology in shaping the administration of the country.

2.F.W. Riggs

The second Major thinker who used the idea of ecology in administration by taking the logical next step on Gaussian Analysis. He argued that if the ecology of a country affects its administration and thereby can assist in studying our own administration system via ecology must be doubly useful in carrying out the comparative study.

Therefore F.W. Riggs emphasized developing an ecological model so that different ecology could be correctly accommodated to understand a different administrative system. In this context, he observed "There is an interaction between an administrative system of a country and its political, social, historic and economic subsystem of ecology"

Using this project he developed an ecological model of CPA namely Agraria, Industra, transitia typology in the 1950s and fused prismatic diffracted ecologies in 1960s. 

3.FERREL HEADY

Ferrel Heady has examined the ecology of administration in terms of aspects /components of ecology. He gave his model called concentric circles model of ecological components, through this model he has emphasized that

a) ecology is made up of many components like economical, political, social, political, social, ecological etc. and collectively all these components affect administration.

b)The effect of different componen or importance varies in terms of potency or imporatnce.

c)Symbolically, the strongest affecting component of ecology is shown as the sorrounding circle around administrative subsystem and the least important ecological component as an outermost concentric circle.

According to Heady political ecology is invariable the strongest influence on administrative system followed by social and then economic ecology. However, that is not a universally correct suggestion because from time to time any specific given context, any ecological aspect may be the strongest influence.
