We are never free from the influence of the environment and we never remain inert towards them. However, to date, there have not been that many qualitative or standardized methods that would reflect the content and dynamics of such interactions. The development of social systems inevitably involves the phenomena of attachment and alienation from various objects of the environment - people, values, information flows, social groups, natural and built environments. This collection will feature papers devoted to the methods of measuring various phenomena of human perception and interaction with the environment. The collection will also feature articles on instruments measuring holistic phenomena, such as ecoanxiety and environmental concern, on organizational, family or school atmosphere, on methods of assessing the quality and/or information flows of restorative and professional as well as n natural and built environments.
The purpose of this collection is to present a series of high - quality articles devoted to the development or the first use of new methods that reflect different aspects of human interaction with the environment - attachment, concern and anxiety, processes of in- and exclusion, as well as sources of stress or restorative resources of various environments. We would also want to see articles describing the first instance of using methods which were previously published in languages other than English. Papers on the use of long-known methods on unusual samples or in unusual contexts are welcome. Furthermore, we are interested in works devoted to the qualitative methods of studying human interaction with environments, as well as those focused on special groups - children, people with disabilities, elderly, or the socially marginalized. New cultural adaptations of well-known methods are also welcome.
We welcome submissions of:
- Methodological articles (quantitative, qualitative and mixed approaches).
- Applied or empirical research articles (first using new tools).
- Review articles
- Brief reports.
- Opinions
