The book was adapted from an investigation that was presented to the National University of the Altiplano (UNA). The objective was to determine the relationship between perceptions about the problem of environmental pollution and environmental attitudes in students of the Faculty of Educational Sciences (FCEDUC) of UNA Puno, Peru. The research method was the quantitative approach, the non-experimental type and the design was correlational. For this purpose, the population was made up of 778 students, with an intentional sample of 113 students. The data collection techniques were the evaluation technique and the Likert-type attitude test, the instruments being the test of perceptions of environmental pollution and the Likert scale of attitudes. The statistical design that was applied was the chi square (X2) for the hypothesis test. The results show that there is a significant relationship between the study variables of perceptions with attitudes about environmental problems according to the inferential statistics that was X2 = 62.534. It was concluded that the problem of environmental pollution is the task of all citizens to put into practice the care and preservation of the environment with attitudes that help not to contaminate nature.

"The work explores the question of how cultural landscape is perceived or constituted by peasants and what role landscape socialization and habitus play in this process. Supported by the method of reflexive photography, an innovative approach to visual sociology, 28 farmers were interviewed in three communities in central Switzerland in individual interviews and group discussions. The results of the study show that farmers in their everyday use of the world construct the concept of cultural landscape from many aspects, but that are based primarily on the agricultural management of land. The results further extend the previous approach of landscape socialization and show that perception is strongly influenced by moral values."

This book follows the successful titles “The Colourful and the Green: Chapters on Voluntary Simplicity” and “The Half-Hearted and the Hesitant: Chapters on Ecological Luxury.” The author poses the question of why, at a time of continuing devastation of nature, people’s interest in nature conservation has been decreasing. Are the media to blame or is our numbness toward ecological problems rooted in our mental makeup that tends to supress unpleasant realities? The author also wants to find out why some people have remained faithful to nature. To get to the answers, she applies sociological, philosophical, psychological, and theological perspectives. An unexpected question that may surprise some readers then becomes: Actually, why should we protect nature when it can take care of itself? It is not weak; it is strong and cruel. Librová’s students Vojtěch Pelikán, Lucie Galčanová, and Lukáš Kala interview the children of “the Colourful,” too: have they inherited their parents’ modest lifestyle?

Glavni cilj knjige je predstaviti način upravljanja s kulturnimi vrednotami v lokalni skupnosti. Z njo želimo sprožiti nove razvojne impulze in hkrati prispevati k ohranjanju kulture in opolnemočenja lokalne skupnosti. Publikacija poudarja pristop »od spodaj navzgor«, kjer so lokalni deležniki glavni sprožitelji, upravljavci in končni uporabniki celotnega procesa ustvarjanja novih ali dodatnih turističnih proizvodov, ki izhajajo iz njihove lokalne kulture. Večji del knjige predstavlja metodologija, poimenovana »Smernice za upravljanje s kulturnimi vrednotami v ruralnih območjih«, ki so predstavljene v drugem poglavju. Smernice skušajo na praktičen in konkreten način nazorno prikazati vse korake, ki jih mora lokalna skupnost izpolniti, da se začne proces odkrivanja, varovanja in zlasti uporabe lastnih kulturnih vrednot v razvojne namene. Napisane so v obliki navodil, na enostaven in uporabniku prijazen način, ter kot priročnik vodijo bralca: skozi šest korakov od prve ideje do končne uresničitve, ki je lahko nov proizvod ali storitev, izkušnja ali zgodba, osnovana na kulturni vrednoti z razvojnim potencialom.

Creativity is gaining in its importance within the knowledge society. Studying these complex dimensions and their long-term consequences for the economic and social progress was the object of abundant social studies n the past. But the transformation of the landscape due to creative influences, as one of the most important factors regarding structural changes in modern society, is not well represented in Slovenian geographical literature. The booklet at hand is the first attempt of establishing some geographical–developmental factors, which are encouraged by various forms of creative human activities. The geographical dispersion of human potentials is one of the key generators of creativity and social development. Some important socio–economic effects and regional disparities in the region are also in correlation with the aforementioned factors. We will try to explain some of them within a critical research view and within the form of the available space and on the other hand also show some new dimensions of social geography as a way of challenging future detailed discussions. Knjiga je prvi poskus utemeljitve nekaterih geografskih razvojnih dejavnikov, ki jih spodbujajo različne oblike človekove ustvarjalnosti. Geografska razprostranjenost človeških potencialov je eden ključnih spodbujevalcev ustvarjalnosti in s tem družbenega razvoja. Z njimi so povezani pomembni socialnoekonomski učinki in tudi regionalne disparitete v pokrajini. Na nekatere smo s kritičnim raziskovalnim pristopom poskušali odgovoriti, hkrati pa smo želeli odstreti nove razsežnosti v družbeni geografiji, kot izziv za nadaljevanje poglobljenih raziskav.
