Dear Andrea,

You will find many good and very good references / articles and very fine views expressed by many experts on sustainable development at following thread:

https://www.researchgate.net/post/How_a_nation_can_achieve_a_sustainable_socio-economic_development

Dear Andréa,

I recommend the book Prof. J. E. Veiga (economist, FEA USP):

http://books.google.com.br/books/about/Sustentabilidade.html?hl=pt-BR&id=X-4QtWRNGggC

And many other of his works que deals with sustainability and development.

Best wishes,

Vanessa

Hi Andrea, Vos & Meekes 1999 may be a good reference: Trends in European Cultural Landscape Development: Perspectives for a sustainable future.

http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0169204699000432

I'm sure there are many other articles in the Landscape and Urban Planning journal.

I'm sure that the World Health Organisation's Healthy Cities project will also touch on identity, happiness and sustainable development.

Dear Andéa,

I suggest you to have a look on Prof. Niko Paech, University of Oldenburg, Germany (short but informative article in German and English http://www.postwachstumsoekonomie.de/html/paech_okonomie-jenseits.html ). Crucial elements in his conceptual model are 'happiness' and 'local identity'.

best regards,

Folkert

For a critical analysis of policy shifts to emphases on happiness/well-being and connections of this to sustainability (and also some interesting local-level case study material), see this recent book by UK social scientist Karen Scott:

Karen Scott. 2012. Measuring Well-Being: Towards Sustainability? London and New York: Routledge.

Hi Andrea, I suggest you to read Elinor Östrom articles. Somehow she employed collabortive - adaptive management that can be useful in your research.

Dear Folkert:

Thank you for your reading indication. The texts of the teacher Niko Peach are very interesting and certainly helped me in my research.

Best Regards,

Andréa

Dear Clare:

The 'well-being' is a very important part in my research.

Thank you for your reading indication. The book of Karen Scott seems to me excellent.

Best Regards,

Andréa

Dear Michael:

Indeed, this chapter of his book seems very interesting. I read it with care.

Thank you for the statement.

Hi, Claudia!

Undoubtedly, this question / this point of view can be very helpful in my research.

Thank you for your reading suggestion.

"Sustainable Communities" by Sim Van Der Ryn and Peter Calthrope.

This is a book with some case studies and I found useful during my study.

Thank you for your reading suggestion.

I confess that I did not yet know that book.

I'll read it as soon as possible.

Thanks RG friends, for your insightful, informative, posts.

The apparent usefulness of happiness data spurred deeper digging and a mixture of research methods to untangle two-way linkages between subjective well-being and other variables
