Resumen: Las vivencias de ocio compartidas entre abuelos y nietos desde una dimensión ambiental-ecológica pueden ser clave en el desarrollo humano, a nivel personal, familiar, social y sostenible, reforzando la cohesión familiar, el bienestar de ambas generaciones y el respeto y cuidado del medio ambiente. La presente investigación tiene por objetivo identificar las actividades de ocio ambiental-ecológico compartidas por abuelos y nietos, y su vinculación con variables relacionadas con aspectos temporales, espaciales, afectivos y motivacionales. Se llevaron a cabo dos grupos de discusión. En el primero participaron 8 nietos, de entre 6 y 12 años, 4 chicos y 4 chicas; en el segundo, 9 abuelos (5 varones y 4 mujeres) con nietos con edades comprendidas entre 6 y 12 años. Se creó un sistema de categorías que fue validado a través de los índices Kappa de Cohen y Kappa de Fleiss. Los resultados reflejan la importante presencia de la dimensión ambiental-ecológica en las actividades compartidas entre abuelos y nietos, destacando experiencias de cuidado de animales, ordeño, labranza del campo, siembra y cuidado de verduras, hortalizas y frutales, así como elaboración de conservas. Estas vivencias nutren un co-aprendizaje intergeneracional en torno al respeto, compromiso y sensibilidad medioambiental fomentando un desarrollo sostenible.   Palabras clave: ocio ambiental; abuelos/as; nietos/as; co-aprendizaje; desarrollo humano.  Abstract: The leisure experiences shared between grandparents and grandchildren from an environmental-ecological dimension can be key in human development, at a personal, family, social and sustainable level, reinforcing family cohesion, the well-being of both generations and respect and care for the environment. The present research aims to identify the environmental-ecological leisure activities shared by grandparents and grandchildren, and their link with variables related to temporal, spatial, affective and motivational aspects. Two focus groups were carried out. In the first one, 8 grandchildren between 6 and 12 years old, 4 boys and 4 girls participated; in the second one, 9 grandparents (5 boys and 4 girls) with grandchildren between 6 and 12 years old participated. A category system was created and validated through Cohen's Kappa and Fleiss' Kappa indexes. The results reflect the important presence of the environmental-ecological dimension in the activities shared between grandparents and grandchildren, highlighting experiences of caring for animals, milking, tilling the fields, planting and caring for vegetables and fruit trees, as well as making preserves. These experiences nurture intergenerational co-learning about respect, commitment and environmental awareness, promoting sustainable development.   Key words: environmental leisure; grandparents; grandchildren; co-learning; human development; environmental leisure; grandparents; grandchildren; co-learning; human development.

Definition Of

In recent years, increasing attention has been paid to the effects of tourism and related developments upon the environment of ‘destination areas’. The increasing popularity of the concept of sustainable development has resulted in tourism being viewed as an activity which could easily be developed along those appropriate lines. It is argued, however, that such a viewpoint is often simplistic and naïve, because of a lack of understanding of the complex nature of tourism. While tourism is dependent upon the environment for much of its well-being, the prevailing lack of knowledge, responsibility, and long-term planning, has often resulted in development which is neither environmentally nor culturally sympathetic to the host area and community.A broad definition of environment is necessary in this context, encompassing both the physical and human realms and also Nature's, as is an equally wide view of human leisure activities, which needs to include far more than tourism. It is necessary to take a critical view of some alternative approaches to mass-tourism, which have been suggested as appropriate for environmentally significant areas; for at least some of the problems resulting from tourism-related developments are more profound, and less easily solved, than has often been suggested. Solutions are inevitably a combination of compromise and positive planning and management, and successful examples are difficult to find. Improved understanding of the complex nature of tourism, and of its linkages to the environment, is crucial if a symbiotic relationship is to be attained and maintained.It is necessary to appreciate that tourist destination areas evolve and change over time, both responding to, and being altered by, changes in tourism. They are not static environments, and need responsible and pro-active planning and management. Reliance upon local initiatives, uncoordinated planning, and self-regulation in a situation of ill-defined responsibility, will not result in a secure long-term future for either the tourist industry or the environment of the destination area. Coordination of policies, pro-active planning, acceptance of limitations on growth, education of all parties involved, and commitment to a long-term viewpoint, are prerequisites to the successful linking of tourism and sustainable development.

Considerable Discussion

Three years into the Decade of Education for Sustainable Development, there has been considerable discussion regarding education for sustainable development (ESD) at a policy level, yet very few countries and communities have moved to integrate ESD into their educational curriculum. In this article we argue that the conceptualization and implementation of ESD can be advanced by grounding it in the human capability approach.We define education for sustainable human development as educational practice that results in the enhancement of human well-being, conceived in terms of the expansion of individuals' agency, capabilities and participation in democratic dialogue, both for now and for future generations.We conclude that incorporating Amartya Sen's human capability approach as the basis of ESD will provide the clarity of direction and purpose needed for the transformation of curriculum, pedagogy and assessment.

AbstractThe United Nations action plan Agenda 21 has represented a milestone toward Sustainable Development. On its 40th Chapter, it is introduced the requirement to dispose of an accurate and continuous collection of information, essential for decision-making. Besides bridging the data gap and improving the information availability, it is highlighted the need to dispose of sustainable development indicators, in order to assess and monitor the performances of countries toward sustainability. In this paper, we develop an improvement of a new indicator, recently introduced linking environmental anthropic footprint and social and industrial targets. Here, we suggest a link with the Income Index, in order to consider also a condition of people well-being. Our results consists in an improvement of the present approaches to sustainability; indeed, we link the socio-economic considerations, quantified by the Income Index and the Human Development Index, to the engineering approach to optimization, introducing the thermodynamic quantity entropy generation, related to irreversibility. In this way, two different new indicators are introduced, the Thermodynamic Income Index and the Thermodynamic Human Development Index, which quantitatively express a new viewpoint, which goes beyond the dichotomy between socio-economic considerations on one hand and engineering and scientific approach to sustainability on the other one. So, the result leads to a unified tool useful for the designing of new policies and interventions for a sustainable development for the next generations.

Crucial Part

The world population is tremendously growing and is putting a lot of pressure on our finite resources. Sustainable development is a crucial part of each new worldwide plan; the world has been attempting to set up a more sustainable way and different objectives and targets have been set to accomplish this. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) set norms not only for emerging and agricultural nations, yet additionally for the industrialized countries. Therefore, it is essential to strengthen SDG synergies and reduce compromises across boundaries to achieve the SDGs everywhere. Sustainable development pursues human well-being without expanding ecological limits. It is assumed that the purpose for which sustainable development is enthusiastically defined at the global level must be within the limits of the earth. The research into the causal relationship between human development and SDGs and is achieved in an unsustainable way. There is a need to reorient existing patterns of human development within the capabilities of the Earth's ecosystem, as the SDGs achieved cannot be ecologically justified.

Man And Nature

The integration of the various ideological views by the academic community around the great problems facing the planet has allowed the establishment of a complex system of practical and theoretical relationships between man and nature, generating a strong connection between sustainable development and human development, and conferring greater prominence to the role of human beings, according to their powers, liberties and actions for achieving and maximizing their individual and collective well-being. In this regard, this chapter aims to analyze the influence of the human context in the historical conceptualization of development and its relation with human and planetary well-being over the past 50 years. We try to prove that when it comes to development from the human perspective or from the perspective of sustainability, it tends towards the same discourse that enables convergence and evolution of the concept of development into a much less utopian trend, with greater scope and application under the scientific paradigm of sustainability in terms of human welfare.

O desenvolvimento humano pleno implica na melhoria constante do bem-estar da população. Dentre as ações que impactam nele estão as atividades esportivas e o lazer. Nesse sentido, o presente estudo teve os seguintes objetivos: (a) verificar se os investimentos acumulados a partir de 2002 impactaram na melhoria do Índice de Desenvolvimento Humano (IDH) de 2010; (b) verificar se o IDH de 2010 fez melhorar os investimentos na Função Desporto e Lazer per capita em 2011/2012, quando comparado com o resultado de 2002. A análise das médias e medianas permitiu concluir que: os investimentos acumulados não ajudam a explicar a melhora do IDH de 2010; o aumento no investimento per capita em 2011/2012 na Função Desporto e Lazer não pode ser justificado pela melhoria do IDH apresentado pelos municípios do Piauí. Nesse sentido, o IDH não é uma variável capaz de explicar os investimentos realizados nas políticas públicas de esporte e de lazer. ABSTRACT. Investment in the sport and leisure funtion by levels of the Human Development Index. A full human development implicates the constant improvement of population’s well-being. Among actions that affect this, are sports and leisure activities. In this manner, the present study established the following objectives: (a) verifying if cumulative investments since 2002 had an impact on the enhancing of Human Development Index (HDI) identified in the 2010 PNUD’s report; (b) verifying if the 2010 HDI has improved per capita investments in the Sport and Leisure Function (SLF) from 2011/2012, when compared to SLF from 2002. The analysis of averages and medians allowed us to conclude cumulative investments have not helped explaining the improvement in HDI from 2010; the raising in per capita investments in 2011/2012 in the SLF cannot be justified by the improvement presented by municipalities in Piauí regarding 2010 HDI. Thus, HDI is not a variable capable of explaining investments in public sports and leisure policies.

This article is a selective review of quantitative research, historical and prospective, that is needed to inform sustainable development policy. I start with a simple framework to highlight how demography and productivity shape human well-being. I use that to discuss three sets of issues and corresponding challenges to modeling: first, population prehistory and early human development and their implications for the future; second, the multiple distinct dimensions of human and environmental well-being and the meaning of sustainability; and, third, inequality as a phenomenon triggered by development and models to examine changing inequality and its consequences. I conclude with a few words about other important factors: political, institutional, and cultural.

Multidimensional assessment of human development is increasingly recognized as playing an important role in assessing well-being. The focus of analysis is on the indicators measuring the three dimensions of Human Development Index (HDI) — standard of living, education and health, and their relationship with public social spending for achieving the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The study estimates the effects of public social spending on gross national income (GNI) per capita (in PPP in $), expected years of schooling and life expectancy for a sample of 68 countries. The relationship is robust to controlling for a variety of factors and the estimated magnitudes suggest a positive long-run effect of public educational spending on GNI per capita, public educational spending on expected years of schooling, and public health expenditures on life expectancy.

Abstract. Research shows that engagement in leisure activities promotes well-being among older adults. The objective of the current study was to examine the relationship between subjective well-being (flourishing) and leisure activities (total number of different activities in the previous year) in a sample of older adults in Croatia, thereby considering the variables of sex, marital status, financial status, and self-perceived health. The differences in the examined variables between the groups of older adults who reported to be engaged in new activities with those who did not were also examined. The sample of N = 169 older adults aged 60 years and above was drawn from a convenience sample of adult internet users in Croatia. Participants reported their self-perceived health and the number of leisure activities they engaged in over the previous year as well as completing the Flourishing Scale. Hierarchical regression analyses indicated that older adults who were engaged in more various leisure activities, who perceived better financial status, and who were married reported higher levels of flourishing. A comparison of the two groups of older adults with and without engagement in leisure activities showed that those engaged in at least one leisure activity were more likely to be women, reported higher levels of flourishing, and perceived their own financial status as better. This study indicated that engaging in leisure activities in later life might provide beneficial effects for the well-being of older adults.
