A Agenda 2030 é um conjunto de 17 objetivos que todos os países do mundo devem implementar, e se assenta sobre três pilares: econômico, social e ambiental. Nas contratações públicas aplica-se mais ...diretamente o Objetivo Sustentável do Desenvolvimento de Nº 12, que busca assegurar padrões sustentáveis de consumo e de produção. Neste sentido, a Administração Pública deve implementar em seus processos de contratações métodos eficazes que permitam chegar aos resultados condizentes com as expectativas de uma melhor qualidade das políticas públicas. Assim, tais medidas ocorrem por meio de contratações sustentáveis que atrelem uma boa relação qualidade e preço, além de compras que gerem benefícios não somente para a organização, mas também, para o meio ambiente, sociedade e economia. A partir das análises elencadas neste estudo, foi possível constatar que a participação dos gestores públicos é fator primordial no fomento de um novo agir da sociedade, na promoção de uma economia circular e na formulação de ações voltadas para a sustentabilidade de longo prazo.
Objetivo do estudo: Essa pesquisa buscou verificar quais influências a imagem do destino (ID), a motivação (MO) e a percepção de crowding (PC) poderiam exercer sobre o valor de compra hedônico (VCH) ...de turistas psicocêntricos em um destino turístico de massa.Metodologia/abordagem: foi utilizada uma abordagem quantitativa através de um survey como instrumento de coleta de dados. Desse modo, o questionário estruturado foi direcionado para pessoas que visitaram a cidade de Gramado/RS, obtendo assim, 153 respondentes, todos válidos para a amostra final. Os dados obtidos na pesquisa foram investigados a partir da análise de regressão linear múltipla. Originalidade/Relevância: Reside na associação do valor de compra hedônico com os construtos imagem do destino, motivação e percepção de crowding com a intenção de visitar Gramado/RS.Principais resultados: A pesquisa demonstrou que o construto imagem do destino a partir da dimensão entretenimento e o construto motivação influenciam positivamente o valor hedônico de compra. Dessa forma, observa-se que o valor de compra hedônico não está associado apenas à utilidade dos bens e serviços no qual o consumo utilitário se apoia, mais também ao prazer, a autorrealização e o status que o consumidor pode relacionar à compra do bem ou serviço. Contribuições teóricas/metodológicas: A principal contribuição desta pesquisa foi verificar que turistas denominados psicocêntricos, mesmo mantendo características semelhantes, podem ter comportamentos diferenciados a partir do novo modelo de consumo, da necessidade de estar incluso na sociedade, de status, de satisfação e de prazer. Logo, esta pesquisa pode complementar estudos futuros sobre valor de compra hedônico. Contribuições sociais/para a gestão: Os achados podem auxiliar em novas estratégias de planejamento da atividade turística.
How is it that American intellectuals, who had for 150 years worried about the deleterious effects of affluence, more recently began to emphasize pleasure, playfulness, and symbolic exchange as the ...essence of a vibrant consumer culture? The New York intellectuals of the 1930s rejected any serious or analytical discussion, let alone appreciation, of popular culture, which they viewed as morally questionable. Beginning in the 1950s, however, new perspectives emerged outside and within the United States that challenged this dominant thinking.Consuming Pleasuresreveals how a group of writers shifted attention from condemnation to critical appreciation, critiqued cultural hierarchies and moralistic approaches, and explored the symbolic processes by which individuals and groups communicate. Historian Daniel Horowitz traces the emergence of these new perspectives through a series of intellectual biographies. With writers and readers from the United States at the center, the story begins in Western Europe in the early 1950s and ends in the early 1970s, when American intellectuals increasingly appreciated the rich inventiveness of popular culture. Drawing on sources both familiar and newly discovered, this transnational intellectual history plays familiar works off each other in fresh ways. Among those whose work is featured are Jürgen Habermas, Roland Barthes, Umberto Eco, Walter Benjamin, C. L. R. James, David Riesman and Marshall McLuhan, Richard Hoggart, members of London's Independent Group, Stuart Hall, Paddy Whannel, Tom Wolfe, Herbert Gans, Susan Sontag, Reyner Banham, and Robert Venturi and Denise Scott Brown.
This book is the first comprehensive history of consumerism as an organised social and political movement. Matthew Hilton offers a groundbreaking account of consumer movements, ideologies and ...organisations in twentieth-century Britain. He argues that in organisations such as the Co-operative movement and the Consumers' Association individual concern with what and how we spend our wages led to forms of political engagement too often overlooked in existing accounts of twentieth-century history. He explores how the consumer and consumerism came to be regarded by many as a third force in society with the potential to free politics from the perceived stranglehold of the self-interested actions of employers and trade unions. Finally he recovers the visions of countless consumer activists who saw in consumption a genuine force for liberation for women, the working class and new social movements as well as a set of ideas often deliberately excluded from more established political organisations.
At the end of summer 2022 we will cross the threshold of eight billion human beings on earth. The staggering increase in inhabitants, joined with increasing consumption and travel, decreasing ...mortality and dominant urbanization, implies a vision of the space in which we act ruled by the unlimited numbers of mass society. However, for the past 20 years or so, a opposite trend has been gaining ground, especially in the most crowded places on the planet. Starting with examples from minor, vernacular history, the essay attempts to investigate the human need for solitude, the gaze, and the thought of the sacred and the permanent through projects that are modest in scale but no less necessary.
This article provides a foundation for future marketing research on sustainable consumption through the application of three prominent theoretical perspectives of consumer behavior: responsible ...consumption, anti-consumption, and mindful consumption. This article considers how each perspective can help researchers better understand how consumers can engage in sustainable consumption practices, and develops insights that emerge from the simultaneous examination of multiple theoretical perspectives.
•Sustainable consumption theories are reviewed.•Sustainable consumption is predicated on anti-, responsible, and mindful consumption.•Simultaneous examination of multiple theoretical perspectives are explored.•Implications for sustainable consumption theories are discussed.
Kompulsif tüketim davranışı, bireylerin kaygı, duygu-durum bozukluǧu, depresyon, stres gibi durumlarda yaşamış olduǧu gerginliǧi hafifletmek için yaptıǧı tüketimdir. Burada birey için önemli olan ...herhangi bir ürün veya hizmet edinmeden çok satın alma sürecinde yaşadıǧı haz duygusudur. Kompulsif tüketiciler satın alma süreciyle birlikte kısa süreli bir rahatlama yaşalarsa da sonrasında pişmanlık duygusuyla karşı karşıya kalmaktadırlar. Özellikle içinde bulunduǧumuz ve sürekli deǧişen hayat koşulları, dijitalleşme, internet kullanımı, firmaların satış ve pazarlama stratejileri, kredi olanakları gibi hususların bu davranışı beslediǧi yönünde görüşler mevcuttur. Bu çalışmada kompulsif satın alma davranışının daha iyi anlaşılabilmesi ve sosyo-ekonomik boyutunun öneminin kavranabilmesi hedeflenmektedir. Bu amaçla, ayrıntılı bir literatür taraması yapılarak kompulsif satın alma davranışının özellikleri, nedenleri, demografisi, toplumlardaki yaygınlıǧı ve sonuçları üzerinde durulmuştur. Kompulsif satın alma çalışmalarının çok eski bir geçmişi yoktur ve alanda yapılan çalışmaların çoǧu klinik alanla çerçevelenmiştir. Bu durum, araştırmaların sosyo-ekonomik boyutunun geride kalmasına sebebiyet vermiştir. Bu anlamda, çalışmanın hem akademik hem de toplumsal alana katkı yapması beklenmektedir.
Russia is at the beginning of the development of a circular economy (CE). The development of pro-ecological behavior is one of the main goals to transition to circular patterns of production and ...consumption. The lack of readiness of technologies and infrastructure to support consumer behavior patterns can inhibit pro-ecological consumer patterns. However, world experience shows that cultural and economic barriers have the most significant impact on which of the practices of pro-environmental behavior are spreading and which are not. The study aims to analyze the reasons for the popularity and unpopularity of the patterns of pro-ecological behavior among Russia’s population. The research methodology is based on a developed questionnaire of 57 practices and aimed at assessing consumer responsiveness in pro-environmental behavior. The processing of the survey results carried out using descriptive and nonparametric statistics. This study argued that widespread adoption of circular economy approaches would require profound changes in manufacturing practices and consumption patterns. The results showed that environmental competence is influenced by external and internal factors that can coordinate the education process.
This paper aims to investigate the effect of financial development and renewable energy consumption on consumption‐based CO2 emissions in Chile while controlling for economic growth and electricity ...consumption. Based on the aim of the paper, autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) bounds with Kripfganz and Schneider's (2018) approximations, fully modified ordinary least square (FMOLS), dynamic ordinary least square (DOLS), and gradual shift causality tests are applied in this study. The outcomes clearly reveal that while financial development and renewable energy consumption reduce the consumption‐based CO2 emissions in Chile, economic growth and electricity consumption increase consumption‐based carbon emissions. The gradual shift causality test provides consistent results with ARDL, FMOLS, and DOLS estimators. Therefore, policymakers in Chile should dynamically encourage the research and development of low‐carbon technologies and renewable energy investments while imported nonrenewable energy sources level should be targeted, and especially those sectors which are more energy‐intensive and causing to increase in consumption‐based CO2 emissions.
