“…The environment in this case is not simply a backdrop or a stage on which social action takes place (Moser and Uzzell, 2002). Rather it has to be seen as an essential component of the social process.…”

In the study reported in this paper the role of social cohesion, residential satisfaction and place identification are examined for their effect on place-related social identity and its consequential impact on attitudes to environmental sustainability. Two neighbourhoods in Guildford, Surrey, England were selected on the basis of their social histories, housing types and socio-economic composition. Ninety residents in each neighbourhood were sampled. Research methods included cognitive mapping and a questionnaire survey. A structural equation model was used to analyse the co-variances between the different factors. The results show clear differences between both neighbourhoods in terms of residential satisfaction, with only some differences in terms of identification and social cohesion and sustainability. Conclusions drawn which suggest an important relationship between identity and sustainability behaviour which is suggestive for future research.

Increasing awareness on the various environmental problems has led a shift in the way consumers go about their life. There has been a change in consumer attitudes towards a green lifestyle. People are actively trying to reduce their impact on the environment. However, this is not widespread and is still evolving. Organizations and business however have seen this change in consumer attitudes and are trying to gain an edge in the competitive market by exploiting the potential in the green market industry. The current study introduces the concept of green marketing and looks into the various ways in which the different consumer attributes are related to the concept of green marketing. A conceptual framework is presented and the information is analyzed on the basis of the framework.

“…Thus, over the last decades, a number of studies have turned its interest in understanding people's behavior, utilizing different theoretical approaches. According to Moser and Uzzell (2003), the major theories are grouped into three groups of theoretical thinking: determinism, interactionism and transactionism. The approach of environmental affordances falls within the transactionistic theories.…”

The urban space is characterized by specific qualities that may contribute to, or mitigate the social life. These qualities were described by James Gibson as "environmental affordances". But beyond social life, such environmental affordances can affect other human behaviors, such as driving behavior. Such an approach can be particularly useful, since the objective in most European cities is to regain the social character of roads and streets and thus to reduce the speeds on the roads and the number of cars. Through this research, conclusions can be drawn related to road elements that contribute to the development of high traffic speeds to prevent their use during urban planning while encouraging the use of other qualities that will support the maintenance of low speeds of cars. In the light of the above, the specific research focuses on a neighborhood of the southern suburbs of Athens, Ilioupolsi. Through observations and an electronic survey, conclusions are drawn on the behavior of drivers in Ilioupolis. Finally, an attempt is made to generalize the effects of the specific physical characteristics in order to optimize the design of cities where the roads will be social spaces in addition to vehicle traffic channels.
