“…According to the WHO [29], QOL is 'individuals' perception of their position in life in the context of the culture and value systems in which they live and concerning their goals, expectations, standards, and concerns.' Barreto Torres et al [30] describe QOL as a condition that derives from human well-being and as a tool that allows the extent to which human potentialities can be exercised at their fullest to be assessed, considering the environmental conditions in which individuals and groups find themselves and the opportunities provided by them. As we can see, the broad dimension of quality of life is difficult to describe in a unified manner.…”

Generation Z has been online since the beginning, the online space is an integral part of their lives and personalities, and they make up about 30% of the world’s population. It is claimed that this youngest cohort is already the most numerous generation on the Earth. The most important holiday parameters for them are price and location. They want to explore new places and be active while abroad. The study examines the impact of safety concerns on changes in travel behavior during the COVID-19 pandemic. We focused on members of Generation Z who study the Tourism and the Recreation and Leisure Studies programs, so these students have a positive attitude towards traveling. Data were collected via internal university systems at two periods of time connected to different stages of the pandemic outbreak. The sample was chosen randomly. The sample of Period 1 (n = 150) was composed in 2020, after the lifting of restrictions at the end of the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in the Czech Republic. The sample of Period 2 (n = 126) was collected one year later, after the lifting of restrictions at the end of the third wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in the Czech Republic. Correspondence analysis was used for better understanding and representation. This is a unique research study on Generation Z in the Czech Republic and Central Europe. As a result of the contemporary demographic changes in the world, this generation will shape future travel demand. Hence, understanding these youngest travelers will be key to predicting how tourism trends could evolve in the next few years and how these could influence worldwide tourism. The respondents thought they would not change their travel habits in the next five years because of the pandemic. When Periods 1 and 2 were compared after one year of the pandemic, the respondents preferred individual trips to group trips and individual accommodation to group accommodation facilities. On the other hand, our findings revealed a significant increase in safety concerns related to changes in travel behavior when the above-mentioned periods were compared. The research contributes to mapping young people’s attitudes towards travel in the constrained and changing conditions resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. The findings help analyze the consumer behavior of the target group.

Sociology and sustainable development share many interesting areas of inquiry that offer the potential for closer cooperation between these two disciplines. The aim of the article is to examine the connections between them. The article considers the most promising areas; i.e, environmental issues (environmental sociology), quality of life (which is the key issue for the social pillar of sustainable development), and poverty (poverty eradication is the primary goal of the UN sustainable development agenda). It seems, however, that the cooperation between sociology and sustainable development has stopped at the stage of potential interdisciplinarity.

The negative impact of climate change on Quality of Life (QoL) has become an issue of major concern that transcends national boundaries. Unprecedented changes in the Earth's climate have created a variety of effects at different geographical locations, thus impacting the welfare of inhabitants. The impacts are wide ranging—from severe weather that interrupts livelihoods to rising sea levels that endanger coastal towns. Furthermore, food security, water availability, and public health are all impacted by ecological changes brought on by climate change. In order to solve these complex concerns and promote a shared commitment to resilience and sustainable practices, international collaborative efforts are crucial. This will eventually protect the QoL on a global scale from the growing risks posed by climate change. This introductory chapter of the book provides a global perspective on the impact of climate change on the quality of life both in urban and rural settings.
