Summary

Recent studies argue that we are facing a silent and not so novel socio-environmental crisis. This reprint is based on the evidence and confirms the need to continue the evaluation and research in several key aspects of land, from different approaches and disciplines. Therefore, the aim of this reprint- in the context of some Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) - is to bring together researchers from different fields and open a dialogue regarding some gaps of the land, including ageing and gender relationships. The current reprint focused on the following: Land and environment from sociological, health, psychological, political, technological, economic, communication and engineering sciences; Active ageing and dependent old age (role in relation to environment, accessibility, and usability; Gender studies regarding environmental issues; Differences or comparison of population (gender, feminisms, and intergenerational approach); Evaluation of programs and initiatives at different levels; Socio-health addressing land interactions and impacts on health (physical and psychosocial); Images, stereotypes, and attitudes from the different socio-political agents; New technologies and technological and economic approaches contribute to land, reduction of emissions/water consumption and the improvement of environmental management, sustainable construction, and buildings, among others.
