On 24 June 2022, the CKS-Build4People webinar “Time for Change – The Role of Environmental Psychology in Promoting Sustainable Urban Environments” took place with inspiring presentations.
The whole Build4People team would like to express its sincere thanks to all of the staff of CKS for preparing and managing this event, most of all to its interim director Samedy Soung and to Dr. Try Thuon, who moderated the webinar in a very dedicated way.
Abstract
Most of the world’s population lives in urban areas, which provide people with resources that meet their daily needs to a certain extent. At the same time, ecosystems in urban regions – and at the global level – are threatened by urban growth and the increasingly resource-intensive lifestyles associated with it. Improving urban sustainability is urgently needed for our world. This is also true for Southeast Asian countries, including Cambodia.
In this webinar, we discuss how to design sustainable cities that enable sustainable human-environment interactions and how to support sustainable behaviours. We present Global and Cambodian Sustainable Development Goals referring to cities and human settlements and link them to behavioural aspects and domains. We will also discuss psychological determinants and context factors of pro-environmental behaviour in Phnom Penh and how environmentally-friendly behaviours can be supported. Moreover, we reflect on how environments shape certain behaviours. A closer look at design strategies and the understanding of behavioural choices in the transportation sector of Singapore, as an example, give us detailed insights into a specific spatial and behavioural context.
Lessons learned from research in Cambodia and other cultural contexts are discussed in regards to promising behaviour change interventions and promoting impactful pro-environmental behaviours in urban systems.
