Behavioural change

A change in behavioural patterns, both in action and statements, associated with environmental impacts and land use change. This change can be driven both by external factors (e.g. the social-institutional environment such as social norms; economic context like infrastructure and technology) as well as by individual characteristics (e.g. skills, socio-demographics, experience, risk perceptions, individual values).
