Well-designed of an urban park is one of the best ways to achieve the city sustainable development and contributes to the quality of life in many ways. Central to this argument is the claim that the variables need to be considered and thus, this research was conducted to assess the quality of urban park by empirically evaluating through behavioral competencies and psychological well-being from the model of Lawton’s Quality of Life. A quantitative research method was employed for the research with 138 respondents in Taman Lembah Bukit SUK, Shah Alam. Results confirm that the urban park provides the potential for psychological well-being, but it often underutilized and attract the aged of 19-50 years old of a user group.

The research featured the urban environment quality index for single-industry towns and non-single-industry towns in 2018–2019. The research objective was to identify statistical differences between single-industry towns and other urban settlements in terms of the components and combined value of the urban environment quality index. The paper introduces several strategies for the development of the urban environment of single-industry towns based on the concept of sustainable development. The study employed statistical methods and Statistica 10 program. Based on parametric and nonparametric criteria, the author revealed statistical differences for such aspects as "green areas" and "public and business infrastructure" for 2018 and 2019, as well as calculated the combined value for 2019. The strategies described in the present paper can help to overcome the existing problems of single-industry towns and avoid repeating the mistakes made by government when implementing similar federal programs in the past. The study may be of interest for executive authorities, municipal authorities, and residents of single-industry urban settlements.

Desarrollar acciones dirigidas a la conservación del medio ambiente, con el fin de provocar la reflexión sobre cuestiones ambientales, es una forma de Educación Ambiental (EA). El objetivo de este estudio es describir cómo los agentes que trabajaron en el proyecto de revitalización de Eco Park perciben las acciones desarrolladas como un medio para promover la EE. La revitalización propuesta para este parque en el municipio de Confresa / MT, tuvo lugar en 2019, a través de tres acciones para mejorar la calidad del lugar y crear conciencia entre la población que lo frecuenta. Con base en las acciones realizadas, se aplicó un cuestionario con 10 preguntas a 12 agentes responsables de la elaboración y desarrollo del proyecto. Para analizar los datos, se adoptó la técnica de Análisis de Contenido. Se identificaron 5 categorías: problemas ambientales en la región; Educación ambiental y revitalización de Eco Park; Participación en el proyecto y cambios a través de las acciones desarrolladas; Aprendizaje, beneficios y mejoras para el parque; Desarrollo sostenible y sensibilización. Por lo tanto, se observó que los agentes entienden el concepto y la percepción de EA, exponiendo la importancia del proyecto, citando problemas ambientales presentes en el entorno en el que se insertan y acciones que aún deben llevarse a cabo en el parque, en el municipio y especialmente en las escuelas de la región.Palabras clave: Educación ambiental, medio ambiente, revitalización.ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION: PERCEPTIONS OF AGENTS WHO WORKED ON THE PROJECT TO REVITALIZE AN URBAN PARK IN THE MUNICIPALITY OF CONFRESA/MTAbstractDeveloping actions aimed at environmental conservation, in order to provoke reflection on environmental issues, is a form of Environmental Education (EE). The aim of this study is to describe how the agents who worked on the Eco Park revitalization project perceive the actions developed as a means of promoting EE. The proposed revitalization for this park in the municipality of Confresa / MT, took place in 2019, through three actions to improve the quality of the place and raise awareness among the population that frequents it. Based on the actions carried out, a questionnaire with 10 questions was applied to 12 agents responsible for the elaboration and development of the project. To analyze the data, the Content Analysis technique was adopted. There were 5 categories identified: Environmental problems in the region; Environmental education and the revitalization of Eco Park; Participation in the project and changes through the actions developed; Learning, benefits and improvement for the park; Sustainable development and awareness. Therefore, it was noticed that the agents understand the concept and perception of AE, exposing the importance of the project, citing environmental problems present in the environment in which they are inserted and actions that still need to be carried out in the park, in the municipality and especially in the schools of the region.Keywords: Environmental education, environment, evitalization.EDUCAÇÃO AMBIENTAL: PERCEPÇÕES DOS AGENTES QUE ATUARAM NO PROJETO DE REVITALIZAÇÃO DE UM PARQUE URBANO NO MUNICÍPIO DE CONFRESA/MTResumoDesenvolver ações voltadas à conservação do meio ambiente, de maneira a provocar reflexão sobre as problemáticas ambientais, é uma forma de Educação Ambiental (EA).

The purpose of this study has been to identify the degree of sustainability in the development of the Province of Warmia and Mazury. The theoretical and empirical investigations were conducted between 2003-2014 based on data from the Local Data Bank. Using a comparative indicator method, 20 indicators were developed, with different directions of preference. The evaluation involves the concept of uniform preference, hence the higher the assessment indicator, the better the situation in the evaluated area unit. Our studies on the sustainable development of the Province of Warmia and Mazury suggest that the indicators measuring the environmental dimension and consequently the quality of life of the residents (in this aspect) score higher than the country's average values. It is also optimistic that some progress, however small, can be seen in this area based on the analyzed dynamics of changes.

Underlying Processes

Cities are becoming digital and are aiming to be sustainable. How they are combining the two is not always apparent from the outside. What we need is a look from inside. In recent years, cities have increasingly called themselves Smart City. This can mean different things, but generally includes a look towards new digital technologies and claim that a Smart City has various advantages for its citizens, roughly in line with the demands of sustainable development. A city can be seen as smart in a narrow sense, technology wise, sustainable or smart and sustainable. Current city rankings, which often evaluate and classify cities in terms of the target dimensions “smart” and “sustainable”, certify that some cities are both. In its most established academic definitions, the Smart City also serves both to improve the quality of life of its citizens and to promote sustainable development. Some cities have obviously managed to combine the two. The question that arises is as follows: What are the underlying processes towards a sustainable Smart City and are cities really using smart tools to make themselves sustainable in the sense of the 2015 United Nations Sustainability Goal 11? This question is to be answered by a method that has not yet been applied in research on cities and smart cities: the innovation biography. Based on evolutionary economics, the innovation biography approaches the process towards a Smart City as an innovation process. It will highlight which actors are involved, how knowledge is shared among them, what form citizen participation processes take and whether the use of digital and smart services within a Smart City leads to a more sustainable city. Such a process-oriented method should show, among other things, to what extent and when sustainability-relevant motives play a role and which actors and citizens are involved in the process at all.
