Perceived residential environment quality indicators and neighbourhood attachment: a confirmation study on a chinese sample in chongqing
No full textThis paper concerns people’s assessment of their neighborhood of residence in a Chinese urban context. The aim of the study was to verify the factorial structure and the reliability of two instruments originally developed and validated in Italy (the full versions of the Perceived Residential Environment Quality Indicators [PREQIs] and of the Neighborhood Attachment Scale [NAS]) in a different cultural and linguistic context. The instruments consist of 11 scales measuring the PREQIs and one scale measuring neighborhood attachment (NA). The PREQIs scales include items covering four macroevaluative domains of residential environment quality: architectural and urban planning aspects (three scales: Architectural and Town-planning Space, Organization of Accessibility and Roads, Green Areas), sociorelational aspects (one scale: People and Social Relations), functional aspects (four scales: Welfare Services, Recreational Services, Commercial Services, and Transport Services), and contextual aspects (three scales: Pace of Life, Environmental Health, Upkeep and Care). The PREQIs and NAS were included in a self-report questionnaire, which had been translated and back-translated from English to Chinese, and was then administered to 340 residents in six districts (differing along various features) of a highly urbanized context in China, the city of Chongqing. Results confirmed the factorial structure of the scales and demonstrated good internal consistency of the indicators, thus reaffirming the results of previous studies carried out in Western urban contexts. The indicators tapping the neighborhood’s contextual aspects (i.e., pace of life, environmental health, and upkeep) emerged as most correlated to N
Evaluating the role of protected natural areas for environmental education
No full textEnvironmental experience impacts pro-environmental attitudes and behaviors. Two quasi-experimental field studies (n = 419 and 248) tested the effects of an outdoor Environmental Education program in Italy, involving children (3rd to 6th grade students) in activities based in local Protected Natural Areas. Results show that the program increases children’s place attachment, pro-environmental attitudes, ethics and self-reported behavior, and their parents’ pro-environmental attitudes: in essence, young people experience with protected natural areas enhances their attitudes and behaviors towards environmental sustainability. The research addresses the crucial role of local protected areas in promoting environmental awareness, sensitivity commitment, attitudes and behaviors, highlighting the strategic importance of intervention procedures and moderators for Environmental Education activities applied to specific social-physical contexts
Low carbon energy behaviors in the workplace: A qualitative study in Italy and Spain
No full textLarge organizations are responsible for a significant amount of GHG emissions. This trend will even increase over the next 100 years. An issue for environmental research is the investigation of the factors promoting or hindering the transition to more sustainable energy behaviors in the workplace. This study is part of a larger project, funded under the EU-FP7 program, called "Low Carbon at Work" (LOCAW). We present the results of a qualitative study assessing the existing everyday behaviors in two large-scale organizations: an Italian-based multinational renewable energy producer, and a Spanish public university (The University of A Coruña). Data obtained by interviews with key-informers and focus groups were content analyzed, using ATLAS.ti. Results indicate many commonalities and some differences between the two case studies. Working in a green anergy company leads individuals to be more sensitized about environmental issues, although a core thematic category refers to the concept that energy-related behaviors "rely on individual feeling". Data from the University of A Coruña suggest this organization has the right values and objectives, but it does not always adequately implement organizational policies to support sustainable energy use among students and employees. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed
Processi di identita’ e luoghi di vita: identita’ di luogo e costrutti similari
No full textIl ruolo svolto dai luoghi di vita quotidiana nel definire l’identità delle persone verrà illustrato attraverso il costrutto di identità di luogo (place-identity). Il concetto di identità di luogo è stato introdotto in psicologia ambientale a partire dagli anni settanta, per indicare quella parte dell’identità delle persone che deriva dall’essere nato, vivere o abitare in un determinato luogo o ambiente socio-fisico.Da un punto di vista teorico, verranno discusse le similarità e differenze tra identità di luogo e costrutti analoghi, elaborati in ambiti limitrofi alla psicologia ambientale (quali ad esempio la psicologia di comunità, la psicologia dei gruppi, ecc.). A questo proposito si possono menzionare costrutti quali attaccamento al luogo, identità sociale, identità di comunità, senso di comunità, norme di gruppo.Tali similarità e differenze saranno inoltre analizzate attraverso i risultati di studi empirici, condotti negli anni dal nostro gruppo di ricerca, riguardanti la relazione tra processi di identità da un lato e percezioni, atteggiamenti e comportamenti nei confronti dell’ambiente socio-fisico dall’altro lato.In particolare, tali studi hanno indagato aspetti quali:- gli effetti di nazionalismo e identità locale sulla percezione di inquinamento delle spiagge;- gli effetti di regionalismo e attaccamento al luogo sugli atteggiamenti verso l’istituzione di aree naturali protette;- la relazione tra qualità ambientale urbana percepita, attaccamento al quartiere e soddisfazione residenziale;- gli effetti dell’identificazione con la comunità e dell’orientamento ai valori sociali (Social Value Orientation) sul consumo di acqua potabile;- gli effetti di norme soggettive, norme locali e norme di gruppo sull’intenzione di separare i rifiuti domestici.Verranno infine discusse implicazioni e possibili linee future di ricerca, in vista di una maggiore integrazione di modelli e proposte teoriche presenti nella letteratura in questo campo
