Synopsis
Coming from the fields of psychology, sociology, urban planning, architecture, and design, 26 papers are drawn from the July 2000 conference in people- environment studies, which was subtitled "Cities, social life and sustainability, which perspectives for the 21st century?" The papers seek to situate traditional people-environment issues within a temporal intercultural and transcultural perspective, specifically addressing the question of sustainability. The papers are organized into four sections: urban change and sustainability; community, attachment, and identity; proximal and specific spaces; and global environment issues and ecological behavior.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Gebraucht. Gebraucht - Sehr gut SG - leichte Beschädigungen oder Verschmutzungen, ungelesenes Mängelexemplar, gestempelt, Versand Büchersendung - Sustainable development involves satisfying the needs of the present generation without compromising the chances for future generations. Quality of life thus plays an important part in determining how we can achieve sustainable development. What are the perspectives for the 21st century People, Places and Sustainability presents new approaches to traditional issues of people-environment studies and environmental psychology, looked at in the light of sustainability. The contributions brought together in this book cover the main issues addressed by the International Association of People-Environment Studies (IAPS), which includes psychologists, sociologists, architects, and designers. The book is divided into four main sections: Urban Change and Sustainability discusses the cultural and historical references as models for sustainable cities. Today's metropolises host increasingly culturally heterogeneous populations. Community, Attachment and Identity looks at the conditions for their sustainable development in the light of communities' participation, through processes of identification and place attachment. People's relations to their immediate residential surroundings, their workplaces, or learning environments, significantly influence their health and well-being. The contributions to Proximal and Specific Spaces concern requirements of environmental layout and design which enable them to become sustainable. Finally, Global Environment Issues and Ecological Behavior points at ways to promote ecologically favorable behavior in order to achieve the conditions required for sustainable development.
