“…Mindfulness is a psychological construct with a significant role in promoting sustainability in architecture, which is gaining interest in a variety of disciplines [10,[18][19][20] due to its potential to human environmentally friendly behavior [16,[21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28]. Several studies report a positive interrelation between mindfulness and sustainable behavior, environmental behavior [28][29][30][31], mindful consumption [32], sustainable consumption [5,11], environmental consumption, also water and energy sustainable consumption [33][34][35][36].…”

Mindfulness is a psychological construct that enhances sustainable behaviors, environmental behavior, environmental consumption, mindful consumption, and water and energy sustainable consumption. The state of mindfulness can be affected by the determinator of the physical environment as architecture via the architectural atmosphere. The previous studies show that the discrete areas of knowledge between architecture and mindfulness are still widely unknown. However, image-centered social media platforms such as Instagram seem to be able to provide big data for studying people’s perceptions of architecture. Thus, this study aims to describe the concept design and characteristics of architectural atmosphere in architecture images tagged mindfulness posted to Instagram. A coding framework developed from a previous systematic literature review was conducted for this content analysis. A total of 354 architectural images were screened, coded, and analyzed by five architects. The results highlight that the Japanese traditional architecture (59.20%) looks to be the most architectural atmosphere concept that influences mindfulness, following by Biophilic Design (33.05%), and Buddhist contemplative space (20.06%). In addition, it was found that the most common architectural atmosphere characteristic fostering mindfulness performed calm space (73.58%), focus object (54.45%), concrete material (85.71%), hue color (78.17%), hard light and shadow (78.98%), and view with a tree (60.11%).

Sustainable Development Goal 6 (SDG 6) is closely linked to the sustainable management of water resources and sanitation worldwide. SDG 6.4, in particular, aims to significantly improve water-use efficiency across all sectors by 2030. It is important to acknowledge the significant role that behavioural aspects of water users in an agricultural context play in contributing to water-use efficiency. This systematic review aims to provide an up-to-date synthesis of the current knowledge of water-use behaviours in agriculture to stay on track in achieving SDG 6. This systematic literature review investigates the factors influencing water-use behaviour among agricultural water users globally. Using the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) method, we retrieved a total of 867 records, of which 47 matched the eligibility criteria. The 47 relevant studies were primarily conducted in the United States and China with key themes including sustainable agricultural practices, technology adoption for productivity, climate change adaptation, and modelling and uncertainty in water conservation. Additionally, the review identified six distinct water-use behaviours investigated from 2020 to 2024, which were each driven by its unique set of factors. Overall, the findings from the systematic review indicate that there has been a geographical gap in research efforts over the past five years, and it is important for water-use behaviour-related research to be extended to other countries that are water-stressed. Furthermore, the researchers recommend that future studies should develop comprehensive behavioural models and adopt holistic approaches to better understand and promote sustainable water-use behaviours in agriculture. These efforts are vital for achieving sustainable water management and broader SDGs.

Objective: The present research aims to evaluate the impact of population growth on the consumption of drinking water in the city of Chachapoyas during the period from 2022 to 2021 and project the trend until the year 2050. Method: The research followed a mixed longitudinal approach of basic study, with a non-experimental design, involving descriptive, explanatory, and correlational analyses. Based on 11 yearly observations (2011-2021), data from the Municipal Company of Drinking Water and Sewerage Services (EMUSAP) were used for a 20-year projection in Chachapoyas. Result: The results showcase Chachapoyas as an oasis amid the scarcity of drinking water. 96% of water consumption is concentrated in households, while 4% is attributed to the commercial and social sector. The 21% increase in water demand poses a challenge due to population growth and reduced water availability at collection centers. It is projected that per capita water consumption will decline to 1m3 per person by 2049. The relationship between population growth and water availability is critical, necessitating efficient resource management to ensure adequate water access in the future. Conclusion: Authorities should focus on implementing a circular economy, wastewater reuse, and improving pipeline distribution, all of which are critical components for sustainable water management in the city of Chachapoyas.
