In this domain, the attention is focused on assessing and managing environmental resources to ensure sustainability and conservation.
Evaluation research involves examining the impacts of policies, practices, and interventions on environmental sustainability, such as renewable energy projects, waste management systems, or conservation initiatives.
Analytical activities include studying environmental behaviors, attitudes, and decision-making processes to understand human-environment interactions. We analyze the social, economic, and cultural factors that influence environmental practices and explore ways to promote sustainable resource management through behavior change, policy interventions, and public engagement.
