O desenvolvimento da consciência ambiental no Brasil vem sendo pautado pelos princípios norteadores presentes nos fóruns ambientais mundiais e por seus desdobramentos institucionais através de legislações específicas, tais como o Plano Nacional de Educação Ambiental PNEA (1999) que prevê atribuições às modalidades formais e informais de ensino e os Parâmetros Curriculares Nacionais PCNs (1997) ao inserirem a proposta dos temas transversais, incluindo o meio ambiente, para os níveis fundamental e médio de educação. Mas, mesmo garantindo a penetração social do tema, a presença de legislações específicas tem se mostrado insuficiente para a clareza e efetivação da formação ambiental, o que pode ser observado nas pesquisas sobre o tema que se voltam ao diagnóstico de atitudes ecológicas em detrimento dos processos de aprendizagem. Tendo em vista a necessidade de explicar como ocorrem estes processos dentro da temática ambiental, esta pesquisa teve como objetivo geral dimensionar a consciência ambiental a partir de uma intervenção pedagógica dirigida, tendo por base a teoria da paisagem geográfica de Monteiro (2001) e os referenciais pedagógicos de Vigotski (2012, 2014) e Freire (2004). De forma complementar estabelecemos como objetivo específico produzir e testar a validade de uma proposta intencional de intervenção pedagógica para demonstrar a hipótese de que a abordagem sistêmica da paisagem geográfica (Monteiro, 2001) tem potencial na ampliação da consciência ambiental. O procedimento central da pesquisa caracterizou-se pela experimentação junto a dois grupos de jovens moradores nas proximidades das Áreas de Proteção Ambiental Capivari-Monos/SP e Bororé-Colônia, para os quais se diferenciou a abordagem dos conteúdos de ensino, sendo que um deles participou de aulas dentro da perspectiva sistêmica (MONTEIRO, 2001), e o outro teve os assuntos tratados de forma tópica, sem que fossem enfatizadas as relações entre os conteúdos. A mensuração da consciência ambiental foi realizada a partir de duas variáveis operacionais (VOLPATO, 2015), sendo a primeira qualitativa, avaliando a capacidade explicativa dos estudantes quanto aos fenômenos ambientais estudados, e a segunda, quantitativa, a partir da escala NEP (New Ecological Paradigm) (DUNLAP et al, 2000). A combinação de variáveis qualitativa e quantitativa revelou-se determinante para a maior precisão no dimensionamento da consciência ambiental, e identificação das causas associadas ao seu desenvolvimento dentro das proposições teóricometodológicas estabelecidas pela pesquisa. Outros resultados ficaram a cargo da demonstração de problemas quanto ao nível de alfabetização de jovens frequentadores do sistema público de ensino; da viabilidade de uma proposição curricular na temática ambiental a partir da teoria da paisagem; da diferenciação entre percepção e consciência ambiental; e da avaliação quanto à capacidade de mensuração da escala NEP dentro do estudo proposto. / The development of environmental awareness in Brazil has been guided by the principles present in the global environmental forums and by its effects through specific legislation, such as the National Environmental Education Plan (PNEA) (1999), which provides for attributions to formal and informal teaching and the National Curricular Parameters - PCNs (1997) by inserting the proposal of cross-cutting themes, including the environment, for the fundamental and medium levels of education. These actions guarantee the social penetration of the theme, however the presence of specific legislation has proved insufficient for the clarity and effectiveness of the environmental education, which can be observed in the researches on diagnostics of ecological attitudes to the detriment of the processes of learning. Considering the need to explain how these processes occur within the environmental theme, this research had the general objective to dimension environmental awareness through on a guided pedagogical intervention, based on Monteiro\'s (2001) geographical landscape theory and the pedagogical references of Vigotski (2012, 2014) and Freire (2004). In a complementary way, we established as a specific objective to produce and test the validity of an intentional model of pedagogical intervention to demonstrate the hypothesis that the systemic approach of the geographic landscape (Monteiro, 2001) has the potential to increase environmental awareness. The central procedure of the research was characterized by the experimentation with two groups of young residents near of the Capivari-Monos / SP and Bororé-Colônia Environmental Protection Areas, for which the approach to teaching contents was differentiated, one of which participated of classes within the systemic perspective (MONTEIRO, 2001), and the other had the subjects treated topically, without emphasizing the relations between contents. The measurement of environmental awareness was made using two operational variables (VOLPATO, 2015). The first one was qualitative, assessing the ability of students to explain the environmental phenomena studied, and the second, quantitative, from the NEP scale (New Ecological Paradigm) (DUNLAP et al, 2000). The combination of qualitative and quantitative variables was determinant for the greater precision in the dimensioning of environmental awareness, and identification of the causes associated with its development within the theoreticalmethodological propositions established by the research. We highlight other results as the demonstration of problems regarding the level of literacy of young people served by the public school system; the feasibility of a curricular proposition in the environmental theme from the landscape theory; the differentiation between perception and environmental awareness; and the evaluation of the measurement capacity of the NEP scale within the proposed study.

Throughout this period, these families experience the tensioners such as deforestation and land pressure manifested by the expansion of agribusiness ventures on remaining areas of rural communities of quilombos, threatening the sustainability of family agriculture and natural resources beyond the difficulties of access to policies that specifically guarantee them land ownership, food security and other possibilities of non-agricultural income. Throughout the work are presented forms of resource use by the community their perception of the risks arising from the advance of agribusiness near Bonsucesso. With the methodology, we interviewed 43 (forty-three) residents designated by local leaders, using a semi-structured questionnaire and conducting meetings and interviews with other villagers. Among the production strategies were identified: itinerant agriculture, backyards, extraction of babassu and artisanal fishing. And despite the Bonsucesso community still not be prevented from exercising their way of life and continue to use their production strategies, there is the advance of agribusiness in the municipality according to data from Brazilian Istituto of Geografia and statistics. / Bonsucesso, comunidade remanescente de quilombo área de realização da pesquisa, está localizada no Município de Mata Roma, sendo o agroextrativismo o meio de reprodução de suas famílias, o qual mantém relações e as heranças com as bases ancestrais das primeiras famílias que iniciaram a povoação, tais como os usos dos recursos naturais e a valorização da cultura local. Ao longo desse período, essas famílias vivenciam os tensores tais como desmatamento e a pressão fundiária manifestada pela expansão de empreendimentos do agronegócio sobre áreas de comunidades rurais remanescentes de quilombos, que ameaçam a sustentabilidade da agricultura familiar e dos recursos naturais além das dificuldades de acesso a políticas que concretamente lhes assegurem a posse da terra, segurança alimentar e outras possibilidades de renda não agrícola. Ao longo do trabalho são apresentadas as formas de uso dos recursos por parte da comunidade a sua percepção dos riscos decorrentes do avanço do agronegócio nas proximidades de Bonsucesso. Com a metodologia utilizada, foram entrevistados 43 (quarenta e três) moradores indicados pelas lideranças locais, com a utilização de um questionário semiestruturado e com a realização de reuniões e entrevistas com outros moradores do povoado. Entre as estratégias de produção, foram identificados: lavoura itinerante, quintais, extrativismo do babaçu e pesca artesanal. E apesar da comunidade de Bonsucesso ainda não estar impedida de exercer seu modo de vida e de continuar a utilizar suas estratégias de produção, verifica-se o avanço da área do agronegócio no município conforme dados do Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística.

Syftet med denna undersökning var att undersöka och beskriva hur arbetet med miljö och natur kan genomföras i förskolan. Undersökningen bygger på kvalitativa semistrukturerade intervjuer med nio stycken pedagoger från fem olika förskolor, i en kommun i Västsverige. Resultatet av undersökningen visar att det finns många olika sätt att arbeta med miljö och natur i förskolan, såväl praktiska som teoretiska. Att arbeta med återvinning, kompostering och samtala om bevarandet av resurser, var några av de aktiviteter som undersökningens pedagoger brukade göra. Det framkom också i undersökningen att det i arbetet med miljö- och natur finns vissa hinder som t.ex. personalbrist och pedagogers intressen. / The purpose of this survey was to investigate and describe how the work with environment and nature work can be implemented in preschool. The survey is based on qualitative semi-structured interviews, with nine educators from five different preschools, in one municipality in west Sweden. The result of the survey shows that there are many different ways to work with environment and nature in preschool, both practical and theoretical. Working with recycling, composting and discuss the conservation of resources were some of the activities that the surveys educators used to do. It was also revealed in the study that there are some obstacles in the environmental and nature work, such as staff shortages and educators interests.

Konsumtion är något vi ägnar åt oss i vardagen och som inte går att komma ifrån. Nya möjligheter idag, vare sig det handlar om högre inkomst eller större utbud på marknaden, gör att det skapas nya begär och att den nya konsumtionen efter ett tag känns nödvändig. Idag konsumeras därmed fler varor än någonsin tidigare. Men konsumtionen av varor och tjänster påverkar miljön, och det under hela sin livscykel, från utvinning av råvara till då den blir till avfall. Konsumtion av mode är ett exempel på konsumtion där man uttrycker sina begär och sin längtan. Mode som ofta uttrycks genom kläder ger stimulans till konsumtion och mode och trender förändras snabbt, vilket innebär att det är svårt att hålla kolla på hela produktionsledet och hur miljön påverkas. Om konsumtion av mode har negativa effekter på miljön lyder frågan ifall det då är möjligt att konsumera mode på ett sätt som är mer hållbart. Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka ifall det är möjligt att kombinera ett modeintresse med en miljömedvetenhet. Det som undersöks är bland annat ifall mode kan konsumeras på ett hållbart sätt, samt vilka möjligheter och svårigheter det finns med att kombinera mode med miljö. Dessa frågor besvaras med hjälp av en teoretisk litteraturstudie, framförallt eftersom det inte finns många studier som kombinerar mode med miljö. Teorierna som behandlas handlar bland annat om konsumtion och beteenden, och för att kunna kombinera mode med miljö behöver konsumtionsmönster förändras och alternativ till konventionella kläder finnas på marknaden. Om flera val tillhandahålls och marknadsförs på marknaden skapas alternativ som bidrar till att individen kan förena ett modeintresse och en miljömedvetenhet, men detta kan inte ses som den enda lösningen. Denna studie analyserar även huruvida praktiska exempel miljömärkning och second hand kan bidra till att kombinera miljö och mode. / Consumption is something we do every day which we cannot get away from. New opportunities today, whether it is a higher income or a higher supply on the market, enable the creation of new desires and that the new consumption after a while feels necessary. Today we consume more products than ever before. But the consumption of both products and services affect the environment during their whole life cycle, from production to waste. Consuming fashion is an example of consumption where desires are expressed. Fashion which is often expressed through clothes stimulates a longing for consumption, and with fashion changing so fast it is hard to keep track of the whole production and how the environment is affected. If consuming fashion has negative effects on the environment the question is whether it is possible to consume fashion in a more sustainable manner. The purpose of this essay is to examine if it is possible to combine a fashion interest with an environmental awareness. Some of the matters examined are whether fashion can be consumed in a sustainable way or not, and what opportunities and challenges there are with combining fashion with an awareness of the environment. These questions are answered with the help of a theoretical literature study. Theories about consumption and behaviours are being used, and to combine fashion with an environmental awareness, consumption patterns have to change. Alternatives to conventional clothing must also be found on the market. If more choices are provided on the market, the individual can find alternatives through which she/he can unite a fashion interest with an awareness of the environment, but that cannot be seen as the only solution. This paper also analyzes whether practical examples, such as labelling and second hand, can contribute towards combining environment and fashion.

Problematization: Tourism has a major impact on the environment. However, there is a conflict of interest making it difficult for the hotel business to decrease this impact. On the one hand, there is a pressure for environmentally friendly behaviour from society. On the other hand, the customers want to be pampered during their hotel stay. This makes it necessary to further investigate what influences customers’ intention to select a green hotel. Therefore this thesis examines students’ intention to select a green hotel. Since, it might make it easier for hotels to design and implement strategies to be greener, if they know what is important. Purpose: The aim with this thesis is to examine how the variables subjective norm, perceived behavioural control, perceived moral obligation and environmental awareness influence students’ intention to select green hotels. The main theory used is the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB). However, to make the TPB model fit better to the context green hotels, the variables perceived moral obligation and environmental awareness were added. The reason for adding these variables was because they are closely entwined with each other and is argued in previous research argues they influence environmentally friendly behaviour. Methodology: This study used an online questionnaire and a small experiment in the questionnaire. The sample consisted of students from Kristianstad University. Conclusion: The result of this study shows that all the hypotheses were rejected and therefore the null hypotheses are retained.

A growing body of research indicates that nature connectedness should be an important component of environmental education programs as emerging empirical evidence shows a correlation between connectedness to nature and environmentally responsible behaviour. Despite an increased interest in further examination of the human-nature relationship, research is lacking in terms of specific factors or conditions that influence nature connectedness. In this study, a mixed methods approach was employed to quantitatively assess the impact winter camping had on nature connectedness and then qualitatively determine specific components of the camp experience that influenced this sense of nature connectedness. Nineteen scouts participated on a three day winter camp at Manning Park in British Columba, Canada, where they experienced many challenges such as sleeping in quinzees (snow caves) and learned new skills such as snowshoeing. The Nature Relatedness Scale was used to assess nature connectedness in this study. A pre-test was administered a few days before the winter camp and the post-test two days afterwards. The results from the paired sample T-test show that there was a statistically significant improvement in nature connectedness following the winter camp experience. Eleven scouts were then selected to participate in semi-structured interviews with the aim of gaining insight to the specific conditions of winter camping that influenced nature connectedness. The results indicate that the location of the camp, the condition of being immersed in nature, interacting with wildlife, the positive experience of challenges, the presence of risk, and freedom from technology are all contributing factors that influenced a sense o f nature connectedness. An increased environmental awareness was also a prevalent theme which supports research suggesting that there is a positive relationship between nature connectedness and pro-environmental behaviour. It is recommended that programs with the aim of promoting nature connectedness or environmental awareness should include as many of these components as possible. Further research should alsobe conducted to confirm that these results apply also to other populations as these results cannot be generalized with a sample size of nineteen.

Dentre os problemas ambientais oriundos da urbanização destaca-se a disposição irregular de resíduos sólidos que estão ligados ao aumento da geração e a variedade de materiais. E possível encontrar na cidade de São Sebastião de Lagoa de Roça deposição de resíduos doméstico pelas ruas da cidade, em terrenos baldios a céu aberto. Neste sentido, o objetivo deste trabalho foi analisar a percepção ambiental dos moradores do município de São Sebastião de Lagoa de Roça quanto a geração, destino e impactos causados pelos resíduos sólidos de origem domiciliar, mediante a realização de entrevistas semiestruturadas. O trabalho foi desenvolvido por meio de uma pesquisa participante no período de Julho a Novembro 2014. Como instrumento foi utilizado entrevistas abertas e semiestruturadas. Com os dados obtidos, verificou-se que os moradores entrevistados não tem demonstrado preocupação com a geração de resíduo. Quando indagados sobre ações ou atitudes ambientalmente corretas, a grande maioria não as conhecem, mas reconhecem os efeitos dos danos causados no meio ambiente pelos resíduos. Faltam iniciativas por parte do poder público para solucionar o problema e disponibilizar aos cidadãos meios que criem laços entre a população e o meio em que vivem. É visível a necessidade de difundir hábitos sustentáveis que promovam a qualidade de vida dos habitantes da cidade. A falta de infraestrutura e condições básicas de vida, o indivíduo acabar por adequar a sua realidade, aquilo que parece impossível para uns, para outros é realidade cotidiana. / The rapid and unplanned growth of cities has been changing and environmental impacts to the environment. Among the environmental problems arising from urbanization highlight the irregular disposal of solid waste that are linked to increased generation and the variety of materials. It is possible to find in the city of São Sebastião de Roca Lagoon deposition of domestic waste in the city streets, in vacant lots in the open. In this sense, the objective of this study was to analyze the environmental perception of the residents of São Sebastião de Roca Lagoon as the generation, destination and impacts of solid home residues by conducting semi-structured interviews. The work was developed through a participatory research in the period from July to November 2014. The instrument used was open and semi-structured interviews. With the data obtained, it was found that the residents interviewed have not been concerned with the generation of waste. When asked about environmentally friendly actions or attitudes, the vast majority do not know, but recognize the effects of damage caused to the environment by waste. Lack initiatives by the government to solve the problem and provide citizens with a means to create links between the population and the environment in which they live. It is apparent the need to spread sustainable habits that promote quality of life of residents. The lack of infrastructure and basic living conditions, the individual end up suit your reality, what seems impossible for some, for others it is everyday reality.

Para tanto, torna-se necessário o conhecimento evolutivo do assentamento humano nas áreas urbanas, para que se possa fazer um planejamento e gestão ambiental e, assim, proporcionar um conforto melhor para os seus habitantes, sem causar grandes impactos ao meio ambiente. Este trabalho tem como objetivo analisar as realidades socioeconômica e ambiental no arranjo espacial do "mosaico ocupacional" da zona norte de Teresina, Piauí, onde estão inseridos os bairros de Matadouro, Matinha, Pirajá e Vila Operária. Para tentar vislumbrar a realidade socioeconômica e ambiental dos bairros pesquisados, o estudo utilizou a metodologia de Kawakubo, Luchiari e Morato (2005), aplicada à realidade da área de estudo, no que concerne à mensuração da qualidade ambiental urbana, a partir de dados disponibilizados pelo IBGE (2000), e se fundamenta na elaboração de índices dos temas: domicílios improvisados, áreas verdes, esgotamento sanitário, abastecimento de água e coleta de lixo, e na construção de um índice sintético, o Índice de Qualidade Ambiental Urbana. Para verificar o contraste entre os bairros, com relação às percepções dos moradores sobre a estrutura urbana da região, foi aplicado o teste Estatístico Qui-quadrado, utilizandose as frequências absolutas das respostas do questionário. Ressalte-se que a realidade é dinâmica e contraditória e as transformações são rápidas, apesar de, em muitas ocasiões, não haver percepção de forma imediata / Abstract: The phenomenon of the disorderly urban sprawl of big cities has brought a series of problems that sacrifices the health and comfort of its inhabitants. That is why it becomes necessary to know the evolutionary human settlement in urban areas, so you can make an environmental planning and management, and thus provide a better comfort for its inhabitants without causing major impacts to the environment. This paper aims to analyze the socioeconomic and environmental realities in the spatial arrangement of the "occupational mosaic" of the northern part of Teresina, Piauí, where the neighborhoods of Matadouro, Matinha, Pirajá and Vila Operária are located. In order to try to catch a glimpse of the environmental and socioeconomic reality of the neighborhoods surveyed, the methodology of Kawakubo, Luchiari and Morato (2005) was used, applied to the reality of the study area regarding the measurement of urban environmental quality, from data provided by IBGE (2000), and it is based on the development of indexes of subjects (improvised homes, green areas, sewage, water supply and garbage collection) and the construction of a synthetic indicator, the Urban Environmental Quality Index. To see the contrast between the districts regarding the perceptions of residents on the urban structure of the region, we applied the Chi-square statistic test using the absolute frequencies of the answers from the questionnaires. We emphasize that the reality is dynamic and contradictory and the changes are fast, although in many occasions, there is no immediate perception / Doutor
