La psicología de la sustentabilidad estriba en la predicción de un comportamiento que, por sus dimensiones y determinantes, se ha identificado como factor de sustentabilidad. En este sentido, este trabajo pretende discutir el proceso sociohistórico en el que se ha desarrollado el constructo del comportamiento sustentable, más a partir de evidencias empíricas que de debates teóricos, conceptuales, metodológicos o estadísticos. Este ejercicio llama la atención acerca de la participación deliberativa de la comunidad y se inscribe en el debate sobre la relación entre sociedad y Estado con respecto a la conservación de los recursos naturales mediante los servicios públicos, municipales y residenciales. En este tenor, la revisión de los hallazgos extraídos del contraste de modelos de medición en referencia a modelos estructurales supone no sólo la especificación de relaciones de dependencia, sino su discusión, dado que fueron importados de disciplinas tales como la pedagogía, la economía, la sociología o la antropología para incorporarlos en los modelos predictivos del comportamiento sustentable.Palabras clave: Recursos naturales, Servicios públicos, Psicología de la sustentabilidad, Comportamiento sustentable, Modelos estructurales Theory of sustainable behavior for local developmentSummaryThe psychology of sustainability is based on the prediction of a behavior that, due to its dimensions and determinants, has been identified as a sustainability factor. In this sense, this work aims to discuss the sociohistorical process in which the construct of sustainable behavior has been developed, more from empirical evidence than from theoretical, conceptual, methodological or statistical debates. This exercise draws attention to the deliberative participation of the community and is part of the debate about the relationship between society and the State with respect to the conservation of natural resources through public, municipal and residential services. In this sense, the review of the findings extracted from the contrast of measurement models in reference to structural models supposes not only the specification of dependency relations, but their discussion, given that they were imported from disciplines such as pedagogy, economics, sociology or anthropology to incorporate them into predictive models of sustainable behavior.Keywords: Natural resources, Public services, Sustainability psychology, Sustainable behavior, Structural models. Théorie du comportement pour le développement durable au niveau localRésuméLa psychologie du développement durable réside dans la prédiction d’un comportement qui, par ses dimensions et déterminations, a été identifié comme un facteur en faveur de ce développement.

This chapter focuses on the connection between the international legal framework governing the conservation of natural resources and human rights law. The objective is to examine the potential synergies between international environmental law and human rights when it comes to the protection of natural resources. To do so, it concentrates on three main areas of potential convergence. It first focuses on the pollution of natural resources and analyses how human rights law offers a potential platform to seek remedies for the victims of pollution. It next concentrates on the conservation of natural resources, particularly on the interconnection between protected areas, biodiversity, and human rights law. Finally, it examines the relationship between climate change and human rights law, focusing on the role that human rights law can play in the development of the current climate change adaptation and mitigation frameworks.

AbstractThe study of the relationship between religion and the environment in Malawi has only recently begun to be appreciated. Christian missionaries in general did not actively promote the campaign for conservation of resources but some early missionaries frequently evoked biblical images and ideas that had a strong bearing on the perception and management of the environment. Later, certain religious groups were vocal in their support for or opposition to state-sponsored conservation schemes in the colonial period. This paper demonstrates that African religious beliefs and customs equally played a critical role in creating a set of ideas about conservation and the environment. The study is part of an effort to recover some early voices promoting conservation of natural resources in the country. It thus addresses the issues of religion and conservation as critical in the initial encounter between Europeans and Africans.

DEFORESTATION, COMMUNITY WELLNESS AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT: an integrated analysis in Sao Tome and Principe - AfricaDÉFORESTATION, BIEN-ÊTRE COMMUNAUTAIRE ET DÉVELOPPEMENT DURABLE: une analyse intégrée à Sao Tomé-et- Principe – AfriqueA preocupação com a natureza, frente aos impactos negativos provocados pela ação humana, tem sido objeto de grande reflexão internacional. Vários eventos já foram realizados sobre a matéria, mormente apelando à conservação dos recursos naturais e à necessidade do desenvolvimento sustentável. Entretanto, atrocidades contra a natureza têm defasado fauna e flora em diversos lugares, como é caso de São Tomé e Príncipe. Eis o objeto do presente trabalho: analisa-se a relação socioambiental no país, sobretudo as causas e efeitos da acentuada prática do desmatamento. E para tanto, usou-se uma metodologia centralizada na revisão da literatura complementada com uma análise interpretativa e reflexiva sobre os problemas ambientais. Assim, convém destacar subsídios teóricos usados: Eiffert (2010); Castro et al. (2005); Filho (2000); Rodriguez et al. ( 2009); Souza et al. (2012). Outrossim, diplomas legais que dispõem sobre a matéria foram de capital importância, sobretudo a Constituição da República Democrática de São Tomé e Príncipe 2003 e da Lei n.º 05/2001, Lei de Florestas. No decorrer da análise, constatou-se que o fator desmatamento registrado, em parte, está condicionado ao fator econômico (pobreza), e isso impôs à necessidade da reflexão socioeconômica em conjugação com o fator socioambiental. Por fim, instiga-se a importância de planos estratégicos para uso sustentável de recursos naturais, visando à estabilidade ecológica local. São essas reflexões que deram sustentação e especificidade no desenrolar do presente estudo, o qual se espera ensejar mais reflexões e debates sobre a matéria em epígrafe.Palavras-chave: Impacto Ambiental; Bem-estar Comunitário; São Tomé e Príncipe.ABSTRACTThe concern with nature, in the face of the negative impacts caused by human action, has been the object of great international reflection. Several events have already been held on the subject, especially appealing to the conservation of natural resources and the need for sustainable development. However, atrocities against nature have lagged fauna and flora in several places, as is the case of São Tomé and Príncipe. The objective of the present study is to analyze the socio-environmental relationship in the country, especially the causes and effects of the marked deforestation practice. For this purpose, a centralized methodology was used in the review of the literature and complemented with an interpretative and reflexive analysis on the environmental problems. Thus, it is worth mentioning the theoretical subsidies used: Eiffert (2010); Castro et al. (2005); Filho (2000); Rodriguez et al. (2009); Souza et al. (2012). In addition, the legal provisions on this matter were of paramount importance, especially the Constitution of the Democratic Republic of São Tomé and Príncipe 2003 and Law no. 05/2001, Law on Forests. In the course of the analysis, it was found that the recorded deforestation factor, in part, is conditioned to the economic factor (poverty), and this imposed the need for socioeconomic reflection in conjunction with the socio-environmental factor. Finally, the importance of strategic plans for the sustainable use of natural resources is instigated, aiming at the local ecological stability. It is these reflections that gave support and specificity in the course of the present study, which is expected to lead to more reflections and debates on the subject in question.Keywords: Environmental Impact; Community Well-being; Sao Tome and Principe.RÉSUMÉLa préoccupation de la nature, face aux impacts négatifs causés par l'action humaine, a fait l'objet d'une grande réflexion internationale. Plusieurs événements ont déjà eu lieu sur le sujet, en particulier pour la conservation des ressources naturelles et la nécessité d'un développement durable. Cependant, les atrocités contre la nature ont retardé la faune et la flore dans plusieurs endroits, comme c'est le cas à São Tomé et Príncipe. L'objectif de la présente étude est d'analyser les relations socio-environnementales dans le pays, en particulier les causes et les effets de la pratique de la déforestation. À cette fin, une méthodologie centralisée a été utilisée dans l'examen de la littérature et complétée par une analyse interprétative et réflexive des problèmes environnementaux. Ainsi, il convient de mentionner les subventions théoriques utilisées: Eiffert (2010); Castro et al. (2005); Filho (2000); Rodriguez et al. (2009); Souza et al. (2012). En outre, les dispositions légales sur cette question revêtaient une importance primordiale, en particulier la Constitution de la République démocratique de São Tomé et Príncipe de 2003 et la Loi n ° 05/2001, Loi sur les forêts. Au cours de l'analyse, on a constaté que le facteur de déforestation enregistré, en partie, est conditionné au facteur économique (pauvreté), ce qui a imposé la nécessité d'une réflexion socio-économique en conjonction avec le facteur socio-environnemental. Enfin, l'importance des plans stratégiques pour l'utilisation durable des ressources naturelles est instigée, en vue de la stabilité écologique locale. Ce sont ces réflexions qui ont apporté un soutien et une spécificité au cours de la présente étude, ce qui devrait conduire à plus de réflexions et de débats sur le sujet en question.Mots-clés: Impact Environnemental; Bien-être Communautaire ; Sao Tomé-et-Principe.

The environmental attitude is a psychological tendency expressed by the evaluative (perceptions or beliefs) response towards the environment and natural resources flora, fauna, water, soil and air are naturally valuable products for development and continuity towards sustainability; relating both concepts in the Nijandaris population is the main objective of this research. Methodology: a probabilistic sampling was carried out at an age of [30 - 60 years] = 50 people respondents, questionnaire of 20 questions each; validated by the Rensis Likert scale 3 levels each, applying the Karl Pearson relationship coefficient and bilateral t-student. Conclusions: The environmental attitude of the inhabitants of Nijandaris is between bad to regular, likewise their conservative attitude towards natural resources ensures that they always do so. The relationship between environmental attitude and conservation turned out to be positive and significant. Regarding their dimensions, the association between affective attitude and conserving flora and fauna obtained r=0.38 positive median t=2.88; the correlation between cognitive attitude and conserving water and soil obtained an r=0.42 positive median t=3.21, and the relationship between conative attitude and conserved air has a considerable positive r=0.62 t=5.47. Therefore, we affirm that there is an environmental attitudinal concern towards the conservation of the natural resources of the adult population [30-60 years] in the Nijandaris Populated Center.

This study examines the effect of design leadership behavior on the relationship between work values ethic and workplace innovation in Malaysia. Data were collected from 317 Malaysian retailer respondents. The instruments used to measure the three constructs were the Work Values Ethic (WVE) instrument, the Design Leadership Questionnaire (DLQ), and the Workplace Innovation Scale (WIS). Statistical Packages for Social Sciences (SPSS) and AMOS were used to analyze the data. We constructed the measurement models and structural models and found that both the design leadership (DL) and workplace innovation (WI) constructs were formative in nature. The results indicated that design leadership is a strong and significant mediator on the relationship between work values ethic and workplace innovation.

<em>Islam is a universal religion. Not only governs the relationship between servant and God but also regulates the relationship with fellow beings. Among the teachings of Islam that governs the relationship with the creatures is how the adherents of Islam set to be considerate of the environment, ie, how should humans maintain balance of nature and not ruin it. The use of water and energi, including matters governed by Islam through the Qur'an and the instructions Prophet Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam. Instructions regarding the procedure of which the Prophet made ablution, bathing, brushing teeth closely related to water conservation, while the doctrine of fasting, to walk to the mosque, turn off a light during sleep so strongly associated with the doctrine of the conservation of energy. By following the Sunnah of a Moslem not only to be rewarded, but also contribute to the conservation of natural resources whose benefits will be felt by all mankind</em>

Abstract A survey of the literature on the economics of natural resources. Extractive resources are classified as renewable or non-renewable, depending on whether they exhibit economically significant rates of regeneration. A unified model of optimal extraction over time is developed, drawing on a number of contributions to the literature. Special features are developed for the renewable and non-renewable cases, and extensions and applications are noted, as well as needs for further research. Policy issues are treated, chief among these being the extent to which the market can be trusted to generate the right rate of extraction. Finally the empirical evidence is reviewed on whether we are running out of extractive resources.
