Culture, Environmental Action and Sustainability

The contributions, carefully selected and edited from presentations at the 17th Conference of the International Association for People-Environment Studies (IAPS) held in Coruna, Spain, deal with the following main themes: culture, quality of life, and globalization; environmental action and participation; urban sustainability and cultural diversity; children and the environment; the elderly and the environment. A useful tool for researchers, students, and those involved in decision-making processes, this book should contribute to the improved management of environmental resources within a framework of sustainability, multiculturalism, and responsible environmental action.
