“…(2021), la ciudad ha tendido a planificarse atendiendo a los requerimientos de sus funciones económicas principales y del flujo del tráfico motorizado generado por estas. En este contexto, los espacios de juego, la naturaleza, la seguridad y la salud apenas han sido tenidos en cuenta (Wridt, 2004;carver & al., 2013), dificultando la autonomía de la infancia, debido a la falta de seguridad y de lugares de esparcimiento.…”

“…Más aún, y como consecuencia del incremento de la peligrosidad del tráfico, se ha producido un alza de los desplazamientos en vehículo particular, generando más riesgo, menos infantes a pie, inseguridad y falta de autonomía en la infancia (Sevilla & al., 2021). A este respecto, Wridt (2004) sostiene que las áreas de juego favorables para esta franja de edad desaparecieron en los años 30 del siglo pasado, desde que el uso del automóvil se consideró prioritario a la hora de diseñar las ciudades, trayendo como consecuencia la desaparición de niños y niñas de las calles. borja & al.…”

Los entornos escolares son espacios educativos de gran interés para favorecer una mayor autonomía de la infancia en las ciudades, mediante el desarrollo de relaciones seguras y saludables en un espacio sostenible. En el presente trabajo, se ha desarrollado un cuestionario para evaluar la sostenibilidad de los entornos escolares de los 21 Centros públicos de Educación Infantil y Primaria (CEIP) de la ciudad de Logroño. Dicho cuestionario consta de 12 elementos a evaluar, agrupados en 5 bloques, relativos a movilidad peatonal, movilidad ciclista, movilidad motorizada, transporte público y zonas estanciales. Se ha detectado un diseño urbano que favorece la movilidad motorizada en estos espacios, con numerosas deficiencias relativas a infraestructuras que fomenten la movilidad ciclista, peatonal y el transporte público, así como deficientes zonas de estancia lúdicas y sostenibles.

“…Clements (2004) found that 82% of American mothers limit their child's outdoor play due to perceived crime and safety concerns. In New York City, Wridt (2004) identified that local parks and playgrounds are perceived as dangerous places. Consequently, children in the study rarely played in the community parks.…”

This mixed-method study compared 5 to 8 years old children from Canada and Slovakia and their relationship with nature. A total of 52 children participated in this study; more specifically, 26 children from Toronto, Canada and 26 children from Bratislava, Slovakia. The children's relationship with nature was examined through understanding their definition of nature, experiences in and feelings towards nature. Children illustrated a picture of nature and their activities in it. They then participated in semi-structured interview and lastly participated in a dialogue about photographs of nature. The 'new sociology of childhood' and 'universalism in cross-cultural psychology' theoretical frameworks were used to frame this study. The results revealed that there were no cultural differences in the children's relationship with nature; however, cultural differences were apparent in the way children constructed their relationship.Children from both countries exhibited positive feelings towards nature, but the way they engaged with it was culturally different. Therefore, culture plays a role when establishing a connection with nature. Recognizing that children from various cultural backgrounds enjoy being in nature and acknowledging nature's positive effects on their overall well-being can help guide parents, caregivers, educators and policy makers to work together to ensure children can reap the benefits of nature for their healthy development.

Aquatic Conservation

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The human affinity for aquatic species and environments is exemplified through the ubiquity of aquatic themed popular culture including a significant portion of global tourism providing access to places linked to aquatic environments. Yet this affinity does not appear to translate to the widespread support required for the achievement of ambitious aquatic biodiversity conservation goals. Achieving conservation goals is contingent upon broad awareness of the values of biodiversity and what can be done to conserve and use it sustainably as embodied by Aichi Biodiversity Target 1. This paper identifies seven lessons to support marine protected area (MPA) managers and ocean conservation professionals to implement programmes that “Inspire a New Generation” (ING) to learn about, value and conserve aquatic environments: (1) Prioritize Experience; (2) Embrace Technology; (3) Integrate; (4) Focus on Youth; (5) Make it Relevant; (6) Make it Positive; and (7) Engage Other Sectors. These lessons are discussed alongside examples of ING programmes from MPA management authorities and aquatic conservation organizations. The effective application of these lessons requires appropriate levels of institutional commitment and investment in order to achieve success in ING as a precursor to the achievement of aquatic conservation goals.
