Sustainability Perceptions

Abstract

Sustainability Perception can occur in diverse ways since the environment is perceived by individuals in multiple and differentiated ways and understanding occurs from a subjective perspective based on a concrete reality. Thus, perception is conditioned by factors inherent to the individual himself; by educational and cultural factors imprinted by society, which condition their sensitivity and attitude; and by emotional, affective, and sensory factors, derived from relations obtained with the environment (Hoeffel and Fadini 2007).
