Purpose Examine the association of visits to the natural environment, connectedness to nature, physical activity, and the adoption of pro-environmental behaviors (PEBs) in individuals aged 18 years or older. Design Cross-sectional study. Setting City of Vila Real, located in the north of Portugal. Subjects We recruited 194 individuals (61 men and 133 women) aged 18-75 years. Mesures A self-administered questionnaire was used to measure nature visits, connectedness to nature, PEBs, and demographic characteristics. Neighborhood green space was appreciated through a Simplified Land Occupation Map and physical activity was measured using ActiGraph accelerometers (wGT3X-BT). Analysis Correlations and nonlinear canonical correlation analysis were used to analyze the data. The coefficients of canonical and multiple correlations were calculated. Results Nature visits were associated with involvement in environmental volunteering (V = .317, P ≤ .05) among men. In these, higher levels of moderate-vigorous PA were associated with green travel behavior (η2 = .325, P ≤ .05). Connectedness with nature was related (P ≤ .05) to private sphere behaviors, such as purchase of eco-products (η2 = .191) and local/seasonal products (η2 = .186) in females and encouraging care and protection of natural environment (η2 = .336, P ≤ .01) in males. Conclusions Nature visits, connection to nature, and physical activity levels were related to the adoption of PEBs in the private and public sphere, and these relationships differed between men and women.
Home gardening has a long history that started when humans became sedentary, being traditionally considered an accessible source of food and medicinal plants to treat common illnesses. With trends towards urbanization and industrialization, particularly in the post-World War II period, the importance of home gardens as important spaces for growing food and medicinal plants reduced and they began to be increasingly seen as decorative and leisure spaces. However, the growing awareness of the negative impacts of agricultural intensification and urbanization for human health, food quality, ecosystem resilience, and biodiversity conservation motivated the emergence of new approaches concerning home gardens. Societies began to question the potential of nearby green infrastructures to human wellbeing, food provisioning, and the conservation of traditional varieties, as well as providers of important services, such as ecological corridors for wild species and carbon sinks. In this context. and to foster adaptive and resilient social–ecological systems, our supported viewpoint intends to be more than an exhaustive set of perceptions, but a reflection of ideas about the important contribution of home gardens to sustainable development. We envision these humble spaces strengthening social and ecological components, by providing a set of diversified and intermingled goods and services for an increasingly urban population.
A pesquisa objetivou cartografar e problematizar saberesfazeres socioambientais entre artes de fazer e narrar a produção dos Mascarados do Congo, como prática cultural secular. A metodologia se aproxima das pesquisas em Educação Ambiental (EA), cartográfica e dos estudos com os cotidianos. Apostamos na EA autopoiética, como invenção de si e do mundo, e que emergem entre conflitos e coletividades com as redes de conversações dos sujeitos praticantes, potencializando dimensões políticas, éticas e estéticas, entre processos, fluxos, tensões e conversas, envolvendo professores/as, estudantes e congueiros/as. Palavras-chave: Educação Ambiental Autopoiética; Práticas Culturais cotidianas; Mascarados do Congo.
Este texto aborda as andarilhagens do grupo de pesquisa Territórios de aprendizagens autopoiéticas (CNPq). Assim sendo, apresentaremos as produções acadêmicas e as discussões epistemológicas e metodológicas que surgiram com as pesquisas realizadas com as comunidades tradicionais que vivem em áreas de manguezais; docentes e estudantes da educação básica; docentes e graduandos das licenciaturas e mestrandos do Mestrado Profissional em Educação da Universidade Federal do Espírito Santo. Nosso interesse é expor as contribuições do grupo com a pesquisa narrativa, a pesquisa cartográfica em estudos com os cotidianos e a perspectiva ecologista de educação, entrelaçando a educação das relações étnico-raciais com a educação ambiental, tecidas nos cotidianos escolares e em outras redes educativas.
Este ensaio dialoga com os cotidianos de uma mulher negra em conexão com os seus primeiros contatos com a compreensão do que seria o feminismo negro a partir do entendimento do que é violência patriarcal em consonância com a potência de insubmissão da história de vida de Marielle Franco, que deixou sementes. Meus caminhos foram fortalecidos inspirado nas travessias insubmissas de mulheres negras como Carolina Maria de Jesus, Lélia Gonzalez, Beatriz Nascimento, Conceição Evaristo, Sueli Carneiro e Marielle Franco, mulheres negras que na sociedade patriarcal, classista e racista em que vivemos, nos revigoram a lutar cotidianamente contra todos os modos de opressão com comprometimento na luta anticolonial, antirracista, antipatriarcal, antiLGBTfóbica, e, e-e-e. Nesse sentido, acredito na responsabilidade coletiva com um projeto político feminista radical e libertador, que alargue os sentidos de democracia, igualdade e justiça social e racial no mundo em que vivemos e que nos revigore para continuamos lutando no coletivo por um mundo onde possamos viver em paz e com dignidade, praticando os movimentos feministas com amor revolucionário que pode mudar a vida de todes nós, trabalho de libertação mútua, de esperança e de alegria, que ecoa vida-liberdade.
