Subjective walkability perceived by children and adolescents living in urban environments: A study protocol for participatory methods and scale development in the WALKI-MUC project.

BACKGROUND: Youth's perceptions of a city or neighbourhood's walkability are important for determining the physical activity (PA) friendliness of their environment. Traditional objective measures of walkability fail to incorporate children and youth's (CY) subjective perceptions of places that they perceive as supportive for play and exercise. Internationally, the most promising subjective measure is the Neighborhood Environment Walkability Scale for Youth (NEWS-Y) questionnaire. Yet, the NEWS-Y is not available for German-speaking adolescents. In the WALKI-MUC project, a combination of participatory research methods is used to identify CY's perceptions of PA-friendly places in Munich, Germany. Based on the findings, a German version of the NEWS-Y (NEWS-Y-G) for subjective walkability measurement is developed. METHODS AND DESIGN: CY aged six to 17 years from neighbourhoods with different objectively-measured walkability, take part in photovoice, walking interviews and mapping to gather their perceptions of PA-friendly places. The participatory study begins with an introductory workshop and concludes with a follow-up workshop, where characteristics of PA-friendly places are discussed in focus groups. In between these workshops, participants complete a photo mission with a walking interview, allowing for individual significance of PA-related places to be shared in a one-on-one setting with the researcher. The findings are used to adapt and translate the NEWS-Y for the German context. The newly developed NEWS-Y-G is then used to measure the subjective walkability perceived by a representative sample of adolescents in Munich. DISCUSSION: The WALKI-MUC project introduces a participatory methodology for researchers and urban planners to assess subjective walkability with CY. The combination of qualitative and quantitative walkability measurements is described in this study protocol. Findings on PA-friendly places contribute to environmental psychology and the development of the NEWS-Y-G adds a German-language instrument for subjective walkability measurement.

To participate or not? Research on second-hand apparel recycling intention under the guidance of environmental psychology.

The apparel industry, one of the largest manufacturing industries in the world, generates a large amount of solid waste. It is necessary to reduce excessive apparel consumption in order to reduce waste of the apparel industry. This study takes China as an example to explore the residents' second-hand apparel recycling intention (SARI). Purchasing second-hand, renting and swapping apparel are comprehensively defined as second-hand apparel (SA) recycling. Then, the influence of six environmental psychological factors on SARI is explored, including environmental concern (EC), trust in social media (TSM), consumer innovativeness (CI), face consciousness (FC), perceived consumer effectiveness (PCE) and subjective norm (SN). In this study, 348 valid questionnaires are collected, and structural equation model is used to process the data. The results show that EC, CI and PCE have no significant effect on SARI. SN and TSM positively promote SARI, while FC has a negative effect. The results are expected to provide in-depth insights to further understand and improve the SARI of residents in emerging economies from the environmentally psychological level.

"Recupere a Lagoa": análise barthesiana de imagens pós-desastre na Lagoa da Conceição/SC / "Recover Lagoa": barthesian analysis of postdisaster images in Lagoa da Conceição/SC / "Recuperar Lagoa": análisis barthesiano de imágenes pos-desastre en Lagoa da Conceição/SC

INTRODUÇÃO: No dia 25 de janeiro de 2021 ocorreu o rompimento de uma das barragens da Companhia Catarinense de Águas e Saneamento (CASAN) para depositar esgoto tratado, atingindo 50 famílias de Florianópolis/SC. OBJETIVO: Esse artigo visa interpretar imagens capturadas por atingidos pelo desastre ambiental da Lagoa da Conceição/SC. CAMPO: a pesquisa se sucedeu na localidade afetada - Rua Servidão Manoel Luiz Duarte, Florianópolis, Santa Catarina. MÉTODO: Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa do tipo pesquisa-ação a partir de um corte transversal. Utilizou-se a técnica fotografando ambientes, em sequência, a análise semiótica de imagens desenvolvida por Barthes e a Teoria das Representações Sociais (TRS) para auxiliar na interpretação dos dados. RESULTADOS: Os signos apresentados nas imagens capturadas foram: 1) punhos erguidos fechados um símbolo comumente utilizado em campanhas na busca por direitos igualitários e resistência; 2) mensagens enfáticas utilizando termos como "réu", "culpa" e "crime", referindo-se a CASAN; 3) símbolos e personalidades políticas como forma de pressionar autoridades competentes e agilizar o processo de retorno às suas vidas. Entende-se que mesmo passado um ano do desastre, as pessoas atingidas ainda lutam e discutem com a CASAN em busca do ressarcimento integral e justo dos seus direitos. CONCLUSÃO: A comunidade ainda está se recuperando do desastre, passando por uma reconfiguração. Porém, diante dessa tragédia, a comunidade enquanto grupo se fortaleceu em decorrência dos movimentos sociais realizados pelo bem comum dos afetados. Portanto, em meio ao caos, formaram uma rede de apoio com um objetivo: recuperar (parte) do que lhes foi tirado.

INTRODUCTION: On January 25, 2021, one of the dams belonging to the Companhia Catarinense de Águas e Saneamento (CASAN) to deposit treated sewage broke, affecting 50 families in Florianópolis/SC. OBJECTIVE: This article aims to interpret images captured by people affected by the environmental disaster at Lagoa da Conceição/SC. FIELD: The research took place in the affected location - Rua Servidão Manoel Luiz Duarte, Florianópolis, Santa Catarina. METHOD: This is a qualitative action-research study based on a cross-section. The technique of photographing environments was used, in sequence, the semiotic analysis of images developed by Barthes and the Theory of Social Representations (TRS) to assist in the interpretation of the data. RESULTS: The signs shown in the captured images were: 1) closed raised fists, a symbol commonly used in campaigns seeking equal rights and resistance; 2) emphatic messages using terms such as "defendant", "fault" and "crime", referring to CASAN; 3) political symbols and personalities as a way of putting pressure on competent authorities and speeding up the process of returning to their lives. It is understood that even one year after the disaster, the people affected are still fighting and discussing with CASAN in search of full and fair compensation for their rights. CONCLUSION: The community is still recovering from the disaster, undergoing a reconfiguration. However, in the face of this tragedy, the community as a group was strengthened as a result of social movements carried out for the common good of those affected. Therefore, in the midst of chaos, they formed a support network with one goal: to recover (part of) what was taken from them.

OBJETIVO: Este artículo tiene como objetivo interpretar imágenes captadas por personas afectadas por el desastre ambiental en la Lagoa da Conceição/SC. CAMPO: la investigación se realizó en el local afectado - Rua Servidão Manoel Luiz Duarte, Florianópolis, Santa Catarina. MÉTODO: Se trata de un estudio cualitativo de investigación-acción basado en un corte transversal. Se utilizó la técnica de fotografiar ambientes, en secuencia, el análisis semiótico de imágenes desarrollado por Barthes y la Teoría de las Representaciones Sociales (TRS) para auxiliar en la interpretación de los datos. RESULTADOS: Los signos mostrados en las imágenes capturadas fueron: 1) puños cerrados en alto, símbolo comúnmente utilizado en campañas de igualdad de derechos y resistencia; 2) mensajes enfáticos utilizando términos como "acusado", "culpa" y "delito", refiriéndose a CASAN; 3) símbolos y personalidades políticas como una forma de presionar a las autoridades competentes y acelerar el proceso de retorno a sus vidas. Se entiende que aún después de un año del desastre, las personas afectadas siguen luchando y discutiendo con CASAN en busca de una compensación plena y justa por sus derechos. CONCLUSIÓN: La comunidad aún se está recuperando del desastre, pasando por una reconfiguración. Sin embargo, ante esta tragedia, la comunidad como grupo se fortaleció como resultado de los movimientos sociales realizados por el bien común de los afectados. Por eso, en medio del caos, formaron una red de apoyo con un objetivo: recuperar (parte de) lo que les fue arrebatado.

Does environmental psychology matter: role of green finance and government spending for sustainable development.

Over 30% of the global GDP and 60% of the worldwide population are involved in the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), making it one of the greatest development projects in the world. If infrastructure developments in BRI countries are successful, economic growth in those nations will increase dramatically. Using data from 2005 to 2020, this research examines the relationships between environmental psychology, green finance, and sustainable development and variables such as GDP per capita and its square, green financing, government expenditure, and human capital in 57 strategically chosen BRI economies. Economists used cutting-edge techniques that take into account multiple variables at once in their analysis, such as cross-sectional dependence, unit root testing, co-integration analysis, IFE estimation, dynamic panel data (DCCE), and generalized method of moments (system GMM). The findings indicate that green financing, government spending, and GDP per capita squared reduce emissions of carbon dioxide. In this analysis, the level of human capital is similar to GDP per capita in its beneficial effect on carbon emissions. Carbon emissions are negatively impacted by government spending, which has a minor effect on GDP per capita, green financing, and human capital. Using the results of this study, the authors offer recommendations for how a country can reduce its carbon output.

Apropriação dos espaços urbanos na infância e na velhice em Brasília (DF) / Occupation of urban spaces in childhood and old age in Brasilia, Brazil / Apropiación de espacios urbanos en la infancia y en la vejez en Brasília, Brasil

Os estudos sobre as relações mútuas entre as pessoas e o ambiente buscam subsidiar melhorias no contexto urbano a partir de métodos e técnicas pautados na compreensão do uso de espaços públicos e privados. A crescente demanda pela promoção de ambientes amigáveis para idosos e crianças nos cenários urbanos direcionou esta pesquisa e elencou dois componentes: o panorama relativo à população local e o arcabouço teórico da psicologia ambiental. Para tanto, buscou-se identificar as principais atividades realizadas por crianças e idosos em seus respectivos locais de moradia. Foram avaliados os principais usos e atividades desses dois grupos, em duas vizinhanças, diferenciando-os de acordo com suas especificidades em termos de demandas individuais e ambientais. As observações sistemáticas a partir da técnica de mapeamento comportamental centrado no lugar (MCCL) ocorreram na cidade de Brasília, Distrito Federal (DF) e permitiram compreender o processo de apropriação dos espaços na infância e na velhice e suas repercussões em termos da congruência pessoa-ambiente. Cada um destes setores organizados a partir de elementos específicos direciona as ações dos participantes para determinados tipos de comportamentos, observados de maneira a compor um roteiro em que a brincadeira (lazer ativo) surge como central na infância e a caminhada (circulação) como mais potente para a população idosa. Os resultados demonstram que o diálogo entre a psicologia ambiental e a ciência do desenvolvimento humano tem sido bastante profícuo e tem contribuído para a compreensão de aspectos da relação pessoa-ambiente em diferentes momentos do ciclo de vida.(AU)

Studies on the mutual relations between people and the environment seek to support improvements in the urban context from methods and techniques based on understanding the use of public and private spaces. The growing demand for the promotion of friendly urban environments for older people and children guided this research, with two notable components: the panorama related to the local population and the theoretical framework of Environmental Psychology. Therefore, we sought to identify the main activities carried out by children and older people in their respective dwellings. The main uses and activities of these two groups were evaluated in two neighborhoods, differentiating them according to their specificities in terms of individual and environmental demands. Systematic observations using the place-centered behavioral mapping technique took place in the city of Brasília, Federal District, and allowed us to understand the process of appropriation of spaces in childhood and old age and its repercussions in terms of person-environment congruence. Each of these sectors, organized from specific elements, directs the participants' actions towards certain types of behavior, observed in order to compose a script in which playing (active leisure) emerges as central in childhood and walking (circulation) as more potent for the older people. The results demonstrated that the dialogue between environmental psychology and the science of human development has been very fruitful and has contributed to the understanding of aspects of the person-environment relationship at different times in the life cycle.(AU)

Los estudios sobre las relaciones mutuas entre las personas y el medio ambiente buscan aportar mejoras en el contexto urbano mediante métodos y técnicas basados en la comprensión del uso de los espacios públicos y privados. La creciente demanda de la promoción de ambientes amigables para las personas mayores y los niños en entornos urbanos guio esta investigación y enumeró dos componentes: el panorama relacionado con la población local y el marco teórico de la Psicología Ambiental. En este contexto, buscamos identificar las principales actividades que realizan los niños y las personas mayores en sus respectivas viviendas. Se evaluaron los principales usos y actividades de estos dos grupos en dos barrios, diferenciándolos según sus especificidades en cuanto a las demandas individuales y ambientales. Las observaciones sistemáticas utilizando la técnica de mapeo conductual centrado en el lugar (MCCL) ocurrieron en la ciudad de Brasília, Distrito Federal (Brasil) y nos permitieron comprender el proceso de apropiación de espacios en la infancia y la vejez y sus repercusiones en la congruencia persona-ambiente. Cada uno de estos sectores, organizados a partir de elementos específicos, orienta las acciones de los participantes hacia determinados comportamientos, observados para componer un guion en el que el juego (ocio activo) emerge como central en la infancia y el caminar (circulación) como el más potente para las personas mayores. Los resultados demuestran que el diálogo entre la Psicología Ambiental y la ciencia del desarrollo humano ha sido muy fructífero y ha contribuido a la comprensión de aspectos de la relación persona-entorno en diferentes momentos del ciclo de vida.(AU)

Estilos de Habitação na Permacultura e as Interações Pessoa-Ambiente / Housing Styles in Permaculture and Person-Environment Interactions / Estilos de Vivienda en la Permacultura y las Interacciones Persona-Entorno

A crise ecológica tem suscitado movimentos alternativos ao padrão hegemônico das relações humano-natureza no capitalismo. A permacultura surge com a proposta de atrelar a necessidade humana de habitação às necessidades de renovação dos sistemas ecológicos, visando a um conjunto de ações efetivas, deliberadas e antecipadas que objetivam a redução de impactos e o cuidado ambiental. O estilo de vida permacultural envolve, assim, uma experiência de habitação de caráter pró-ecológico e voltado para a sustentabilidade. Neste estudo investigamos experiências de interações pessoa-ambiente a partir da visão de pessoas que aderem a este estilo de vida. Com uso da Teoria Fundamentada, a construção do corpus se deu via entrevistas semiestruturadas com 10 participantes, selecionados/as via indicação por pares. Nas análises, três categorias emergiram: a socioespacialidade em ambientes permaculturais; a rotina permacultural; os espaços permaculturais. Os resultados mostraram uma compreensão ampliada sobre habitação, cuja dimensão socioespacial considera os ecossistemas coabitantes. Identificou-se, também, as especificidades da rotina de manejos dos sistemas da permacultura. Destaca-se ainda desafios, estranhamentos e resistências quanto às formas de bioconstrução e estruturação de espaços permaculturais. Por fim, as pessoas participantes se veem como vitrine, proporcionando experiências tocantes e inspiradoras para despertar o cuidado ambiental.

The ecological crisis has given rise to alternative movements away from the hegemonic pattern of human-nature relationships of the capitalism. Permaculture arises with the proposal of linking the human need for housing to the need for renewal of ecological systems. It is aiming at a set of effective, deliberate, and anticipated actions with the goal to reduce impacts and be environmentally friendly. The lifestyle in permaculture thus involves a pro-ecological housing experience focused on sustainability. In this study, we seek to investigate experiences of person-environment interactions from the perspective of people who adhere to this lifestyle. Using the Grounded Theory, the construction of the corpus took place via semi-structured interviews with 10 participants, selected by peer review. In the analyses, three categories emerged: the sociospatiality in permacultural environments; the permacultural routine; the permacultural spaces. The results showed a deeper understanding of housing, whose socio-spatial dimension considers cohabiting ecosystems. The specificities of the routine in this style of housing and management of permaculture systems were identified. It also highlights the challenges, strangeness, and resistance regarding the forms of bioconstruction and structuring of spaces in permaculture. Finally, participants see themselves as inspirations, providing deep and inspiring experiences to bring up environmental care.

Así, buscamos investigar experiencias de interacciones persona-ambiente desde la perspectiva de personas que se adhieren a este estilo de vida. Utilizando la Teoría Fundamentada, fueron conducidas entrevistas semiestructuradas con 10 participantes, seleccionados mediante referencia por pares. En los análisis, surgieron tres categorías: socioespacialidad en entornos permaculturales; la rutina permacultural; espacios permaculturales. Los resultados mostraron una comprensión más profundizada de la vivienda, cuya dimensión socioespacial considera ecosistemas convivientes. También se identificaron las especificidades de la rutina en este estilo de vivienda, del manejo de los sistemas de permacultura. También destaca los desafíos, extrañezas y resistencias en torno a las formas de bioconstrucción y estructuración de los espacios permaculturales. Finalmente, los participantes se ven a sí mismos como un escaparate, brindando experiencias conmovedoras e inspiradoras para despertar el cuidado del medio ambiente.

Prosociality from the perspective of environmental psychology.

Pro-environmental behavior, a form of prosocial behavior that ultimately benefits all humanity, is essential for addressing climate change. This review presents pro-environmental behavior in a social dilemma framework describing how non-aligned interests in nested groups (e.g. smaller groups with interests opposing the interests of a superordinate group entailing the smaller groups) and unequal opportunities (e.g. differential access to resources) constitute barriers to pro-environmental behavior. We then summarize recent literature on three ways in which these barriers could be addressed. Specifically, we review how individual and conflicting interests might be overcome and benefits for the collective can be achieved by (1) collective action and global identities, (2) applying insights from another global crisis, the COVID-19 pandemic, and (3) a shift to research methods that consider the nested structure of and unequal opportunities within global crises as well as high-impact actions. Taken together, these approaches might foster one form of prosociality, pro-environmental behavior, that is desperately needed in the pursuit of sustainability.

Predictors of residential environment stress during social distancing in the pandemic caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus / Preditores de estresse ambiental domiciliar durante o distanciamento social na pandemia causada pelo vírus SARS-CoV-2

The Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) coronavirus pandemic and social distancing caused impacts on people's health, among them, environmental stress - a set of objective and subjective reactions that occur when people face negative environmental influences. The objective was to investigate variables associated with residential environment stress during the pandemic in Brazil. An online survey was carried out with 2000 Brazilians with a mean age of 38.7 years (SD = 14.55), 76.80% of whom were women. The results showed that 81.90% (f = 1,639) of the sample had some level of environmental stress, predicted by geographic region (Brazil's northern and northeastern regions), lower income, lower residential quality scores, and absence of a restorative environment. It is then concluded the identification of some negative and positive environmental factors associated with environmental stress, which may assist in the implementation of policies for coping with 2019 Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) and promoting mental health in the pandemic context.

A pandemia causada pelo Coronavírus da Síndrome Respiratória Aguda Grave 2 (SARS-CoV-2) e o distanciamento social causaram impactos sobre a saúde das pessoas. Dentre eles tem-se o estresse ambiental, compreendido como um conjunto de reações objetivas e subjetivas que ocorrem quando as pessoas enfrentam influências negativas presentes no ambiente. Objetivou-se investigar variáveis associadas ao estresse ambiental domiciliar durante a pandemia de coronavírus no Brasil. Para isso, realizou-se uma pesquisa online com 2000 brasileiros com idade média 38,7 anos (DP = 14,55), sendo que 76,80% eram mulheres. Os resultados mostraram que 81,90% (f = 1.639) da amostra apresentaram algum nível de estresse ambiental, que foi predito pela região geográfica (norte e nordeste brasileiro), menor renda, menor avaliação da qualidade residencial e a falta de um ambiente restaurador na casa. Conclui-se com a identificação de alguns fatores ambientais negativos e positivos associados ao estresse ambiental, que pode auxiliar na implementação de políticas para o enfrentamento da Doença por Coronavírus-19 (COVID-19) e promoção de saúde mental no contexto da pandemia.

Relações pessoa-cidade: mobilidade urbana e qualidade de vida em Porto Alegre (RS) / Person-city relationships: urban mobility and quality of life in Porto Alegre (RS) / Relaciones persona-ciudad: movilidad urbana y calidad de vida en Porto Alegre (RS)

A estrutura e o planejamento dos espaços urbanos influenciam a relação pessoa-cidade, na qual a mobilidade urbana representa um importante fator, que impacta diretamente a qualidade de vida dos habitantes, pois implica acesso aos bens e serviços da cidade. Este estudo transversal buscou avaliar os preditores de percepção de qualidade de vida em três grupos de usuários, de acordo com seu modal de transporte prioritário (G1 - veículo particular/aplicativo de carros, G2 - transporte público coletivo e G3 - bicicleta/caminhada). Os participantes foram 417 moradores da cidade de Porto Alegre (RS), com idade entre 18 e 60 anos, pedestres ou que se utilizem de equipamentos de transporte urbano em sua rotina semanal. Os instrumentos contemplaram os blocos: dados sociodemográficos; percepção de qualidade de vida; meios de transporte e avaliação objetiva e afetiva da cidade. A análise de dados foi realizada utilizando-se regressão linear múltipla. Como resultados, foram obtidos três modelos, um para cada grupo. Todos apresentaram, como preditores de percepção de qualidade de vida, motivos para o uso do transporte prioritário e avaliação objetiva da cidade. Os preditores diferentes entre os grupos foram a idade mais elevada (G1); o fato de ter nascido na cidade e uma avaliação afetiva positiva da cidade (G2); e a experiência de relacionamento social devido ao meio de transporte (G3). O estudo contribuiu para um melhor entendimento dos fatores relacionados à mobilidade urbana que influenciam a percepção de qualidade de vida em centros urbanos.(AU)

The structure and planning of urban spaces influence the person-city relationship, in which urban mobility represents an important factor, which directly impacts the quality of life of the inhabitants, since it implies access to the city's goods and services. This cross-sectional study sought to assess the predictors of quality of life perception in three groups of users, according to their priority transportation modal (G1 - private vehicle/ride sharing apps, G2 - public transportation, and G3 - bicycle/walking). The participants were 417 residents of the city of Porto Alegre (state of Rio Grande do Sul - RS), aged between 18 and 60 years, pedestrians or who use urban transport equipment in their weekly routine. The instruments included: sociodemographic data; perception of quality of life; means of transportation; and objective and affective assessment of the city. Data analysis was performed using multiple linear regression. As a result, three models were obtained, one for each group. All of them presented reasons for using the priority transportation and objective assessment of the city as predictors of quality of life perception. The different predictors between the groups were the highest age (G1); the fact of being born in the city and a positive affective evaluation of the city (G2); and the experience of social relationships due to the means of transportation (G3). The study contributed to a better understanding of the factors related to urban mobility that influence the quality of life perception in urban centers.(AU)

La estructura y la planificación de los espacios urbanos influyen en la relación persona-ciudad, en la que la movilidad urbana representa un factor importante, que tiene un impacto directo en la calidad de vida calidad de vida de los habitantes, ya que implica el acceso a los bienes y servicios de la ciudad. Este estudio transversal buscó evaluar los predictores de la percepción de calidad de vida en tres grupos de usuarios, de acuerdo con su modalidad de transporte prioritario (G1 - vehículo privado, aplicación de automóvil, G2 - transporte público colectivo y G3 - bicicleta/caminar). Los participantes fueron 417 residentes de la ciudad de Porto Alegre (RS), con edades entre 18 y 60 años, peatones o que utilizan equipos de transporte urbano en su rutina semanal. Los instrumentos incluyeron los bloques: datos sociodemográficos; percepción de calidad de vida; medios de transporte y evaluación objetiva y afectiva de la ciudad. El análisis de los datos se realizó mediante regresión lineal múltiple. Como resultado, se obtuvieron tres modelos, uno para cada grupo. Todos ellos presentaron, como predictores de percepción de calidad de vida, razones para usar el transporte prioritario y evaluación objetiva de la ciudad. Los predictores distintos entre los grupos fueron la edad más alta (G1); el haber nacido en la ciudad y una evaluación afectiva positiva de la ciudad (G2); y la experiencia de relaciones sociales debido al transporte (G3). El estudio contribuyó a una mejor comprensión de los factores relacionados con la movilidad urbana que influencian la percepción de calidad de vida en los centros urbanos.(AU)

Differentiating busking from begging: A psychological approach.

Despite the research support that street performance is generally a beneficial element to public space, the legitimacy of street performance remains controversial. One critical issue is that busking is often confused with begging. With a psychological perspective, the present research examines the distinction of busking from begging. Two studies approached the problem from the viewpoints of street performers and passersby, respectively. Study 1 (N = 188) surveyed street performers on their reasons for street performance and reasons for why donations to street performance should be acceptable. The respondents could articulate various features of street performance along which busking could be similar to and yet distinguishable from begging. Study 2 (N = 189) experimentally compared busking and begging in how they could affect people's perception of public space. Relative to public space with begging, public space with busking was perceived as significantly more comforting, more active, less prone to crimes, and overall more likeable. These descriptive (Study 1) and experimental (Study 2) findings help to clarify the difference between busking and begging: Street performance is not merely an act of soliciting donations in public space, but it also possesses artistic and entertaining qualities that can in turn make public space more favorable. The current findings can inform the policy making and regulations of street performance. Moreover, since the present research was conducted in Hong Kong, it contributes a cultural perspective to the literature on street performance.

Much of the world population currently lives in cities, with territoriality being a contemporary way of understanding the constitution of these living spaces. This study aimed to understand how the concept of territoriality has been related to studies on the person-environment relationship in the urban context. The research proposes an integrative review using national bases such as Scielo and Pepsic, and international ones, such as Web of Science, Sage Journal and Science Direct. The searches resulted in 219 articles and, after selection according to the eligibility criteria, 21 complete articles were obtained for analysis. The results indicated a greater production in recent years, with themes related to psychosocial aspects, urban planning, crime and security, cultural and religious aspects, health, education. The studies pointed to the understanding of the concept of territorialities linked to urban contexts from physical and symbolic aspects of the use, occupation and transformation of spaces. Territoriality, taken in an interdisciplinary concept, allows the dialogue with environmental psychology and existentialist psychology and to understand the importance of territories in the social dimension of existence.

Ageing- and dementia-friendly design: theory and evidence from cognitive psychology, neuropsychology and environmental psychology can contribute to design guidelines that minimise spatial disorientation.

Many older people, both with and without dementia, eventually move from their familiar home environments into unfamiliar surroundings, such as sheltered housing or care homes. Age-related declines in wayfinding skills can make it difficult to learn to navigate in these new, unfamiliar environments. To facilitate the transition to their new accommodation, it is therefore important to develop retirement complexes and care homes specifically designed to reduce the wayfinding difficulties of older people and those with Alzheimer's disease (AD). Residential complexes that are designed to support spatial orientation and that compensate for impaired navigation abilities would make it easier for people with dementia to adapt to their new living environment. This would improve the independence, quality of life and well-being of residents, and reduce the caregivers' workload. Based on these premises, this opinion paper considers how evidence from cognitive psychology, neuropsychology and environmental psychology can contribute to ageing- and dementia-friendly design with a view to minimising spatial disorientation. After an introduction of the cognitive mechanisms and processes involved in spatial navigation, and the changes that occur in typical and atypical ageing, research from the field of environmental psychology is considered, highlighting design factors likely to facilitate (or impair) indoor wayfinding in complex buildings. Finally, psychological theories and design knowledge are combined to suggest ageing- and dementia-friendly design guidelines that aim to minimise spatial disorientation by focusing on residual navigation skills.
