Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The aim of this issue is to collect educational and social studies and reflections that examine the role of positive attitudes towards the environment.
Another aspect we aim to deepen is place attachment and its effects on well-being and on social and educational life, taking into account all those who live in the social scene.
Overall, we aim to build a frame that includes the following aspects: willingness, daily protection activities, and striving to change the surroundings. These three dimensions cover three levels of environmental activities that include the link between the willingness and the impacts and the cooperation between personal activities and striving to change the public.
Therefore, we are collecting interdisciplinary studies that highlight the key role of the aforementioned aspects.
