This Handbook presents a broad overview of the current research
carried out in environmental psychology which puts into perspective
quality of life and relationships with living spaces, and shows how
this original analytical framework can be used to understand
different environmental and societal issues. Adopting an original
approach, this Handbook focuses on the links with other specialties
in psychology, especially social and health psychology, together
with other disciplines such as geography, architecture, sociology,
anthropology, urbanism and engineering. Faced with the problems of
society which involve the quality of life of individuals and
communities, it is fundamental to consider the relationships an
individual has with his different living spaces. This issue of the
links between quality of life and environment is becoming
increasingly significant with, at a local level, problems resulting
from different types of annoyances, such as pollution and noise,
while, at a global level, there is the central question of climate
change with its harmful consequences for humans and the planet. How
can the impact on well-being of environmental nuisances and threats
(for example, natural risks, pollution, and noise) be reduced? How
can the quality of life within daily living spaces (home, cities,
work environments) be improved? Why is it important to understand
the psychological issues of our relationship with the global
environment (climatic warming, ecological behaviours)? This
Handbook is intended not only for students of various disciplines
(geography, architecture, psychology, town planning, etc.) but also
for social decision-makers and players who will find in it both
theoretical and methodological perspectives, so that psychological
and environmental dimensions can be better taken into account in
their working practices.
