“…The Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA) explains that intention to act is a representation of knowledge (Malvestio et al, 2018;Shafii et al, 2019). The formation of environmentally sound behavior was supported by three components that were very difficult to separate, namely: knowledge, feelings, and desires to act (Pimentel et al, 2004;Yilmaz et al, 2004).…”

Intention to act and environmental issues knowledge has been assumed as the two variables which affect people’s environmental behavior. This study aimed at determining the correlations between variables (i.e. intention to act, environmental issues knowledge, and environmental behavior) on biology teachers in State High Schools of Pandeglang Regency. This survey research used quantitative approach. The sample was 51 teachers chosen using simple random sampling. Meanwhile, the population was 61 teachers in State High Schools of Pandeglang Regency. The data gained were analyzed using path analysis. The results showed that environmental knowledge gives direct impact on environmental behavior with coefficient value was 0.472. The same phenomena were also occurred in the intention to act towards the teachers’ environmental behavior (0.508). In addition, the intention to act was directly influenced by environmental knowledge (0.364), while the environmental behavior was indirectly affected by environmental knowledge (0.185). Thus, the findings of this study can be basic information to determine the most proper strategy to cultivate a good environmental behavior.

“…Understanding knowledge of environmental issues is the assessment or opinion of someone in responding to environmental issues (Jannati & Nazarpour, 2019;Malvestio, Fischer, & Montaño, 2018). More knowledge about environmental issues that are owned by individuals, the better behavior will be towards to the environment.…”

“…The outcomes for planning practice are: (i) identify the heterogeneity of groups composition; (ii) identify the lack of urban services of deprived groups; (iii) analyze the consequences in the groups composition and level of services considering different alternatives of infrastructure provision and land use. Urban and environmental planning can be supported considering different instruments at: (i) the strategic level, such as Strategic Environmental Assessment (Siqueira-Gay and Sánchez, 2019); (ii) regional level, such as mobility and master plans (Malvestio et al, 2018); (iii) local level, such as Environmental Impact Assessment (Sánchez and Silva-Sánchez, 2008). Other sectoral initiatives, such as Transit Oriented Development, can be informed about hidden inequalities using public and available information.…”

“…This rationality raised awareness for transportation plans to integrate land use plans, promoting the sustainable distribution of people and resources (Sebathu et al, 2017). However, there is a missing link between transportation planning theory and practice (Boisjoly and El-Geneidy, 2017a;Manaugh et al, 2015) and the integration of environmental and social issues into transportation projects, plans and programs is still overlooked in some regions, prevailing political and economic interests (Malvestio et al, 2018).…”

Highlights-A multidimensional approach evidence different level of inequalities distribution -Groups with diverse socioeconomic condition of accessibility to services are mapped -Spatial inequalities of a global south megacity São Paulo (Brazil) are explored -Low income groups have low accessibility mainly to hospitals and culture centers -A heterogeneous condition of accessibility and income in the periphery is captured Graphical abstract 3 LEARNING ABOUT SPATIAL INEQUALITIES: CAPTURING THE HETEROGENEITY IN THE URBAN ENVIRONMENT ABSTRACT Transportation systems can be conceptualized as an instrument of spreading people and resources over the territory, playing an important role in developing sustainable cities. The current rationale of transport provision is based on population demand, disregarding land use and socioeconomic information. To meet the challenge to promote a more equitable resource distribution, this work aims at identifying and describing patterns of urban services supply, their accessibility, and household income. By using a multidimensional approach, the spatial inequalities of a large city of the global south reveal that the low-income population has low access mainly to hospitals and cultural centers. A low-income group presents an intermediate level of accessibility to public schools and sports centers, evidencing the diverse condition of citizens in the peripheries.These complex outcomes generated by the interaction of land use and public transportation emphasize the importance of comprehensive methodological approaches to support decisions of urban projects, plans and programs. Reducing spatial inequalities, especially providing services for deprived groups, is fundamental to promote the sustainable use of resources and optimize the daily commuting.

“…A large set of methods can be considered in order to measure stated or revealed values regarding nonmarket goods, e.g., nuisances, such values being either a willingness-to-pay to obtain a certain reduction of damage level or a willingness-to-accept a certain increase in this damage level (Horowitz and McConnell, 2003). Other important references related to noise pollution caused by activities related to transportation are Malvestio et al (2018), Rajeev et al (2017), and Sen et al (2017).…”

The estimation of the noise impact caused by road freight transportation is critical to have acknowledgment of the ambiance pollution caused by road traffic crossing geographical areas containing important natural resources. Thus, our work proposes a within-subject survey where a Contingent Valuation Method (CVM) is combined with a laboratory economic experimental auction. Our study objective is to measure the willingness-to-pay (WTP) for reducing traffic noise nuisances due to freight transportation in the region of Navarre, Spain. A special focus is made regarding the measurement of the hypothetical bias, when a comparison is done between hypothetical WTP, coming from the CVM study, with real-incentivized one, as the outcome of the economic experiment. Additionally, statistical analyses are conducted in order to find explanation factors for these outcomes. Results suggest a strong evidence for an upward hypothetical bias (from 50% to 160%) indicating the income, the educational level, the gender, and the age as the main factors which explain that bias.
