Understanding of environmental culture, from a documentary review of its conceptions, especially in the educational context

Abstract

This document review document will address environmental culture from a perspective that allows us to understand the way it has been contemplated in different spaces, especially in educational contexts, and its relationship with young people. This study is carried out based on a qualitative analysis of a documentary and domain review matrix, focused on the reading and analysis of the emerging understandings of the studies and research related to the environmental culture category. The evidenced findings were organized into four dimensions, the index or level of culture or environmental literacy, intervention processes aimed at strengthening the environmental component, factors associated with environmental culture and studies on strategies related to the formation and/or strengthening of culture environmental. In this way it was possible to demonstrate environmental culture as a transdisciplinary category that can be reflected from educational contexts, from the studies and intervention processes that contribute to its conceptual construction, as well as from some factors that could limit or enhance its dynamization; It was also possible to demonstrate the need to articulate the processes that have been carried out, to strengthen the field of environmental culture, from environmental education.
