A gender perspective Granda, Lucía; Soriano Miras, Rosa María; Moya Fernández, Pablo José; González Gómez, Francisco José Efciency in the use of water resources is one of the SDG 6 in all sectors. This research focuses on the efcient use of water in households. Specifcally, we analyse diferences in people’s behaviour towards ten household water uses. Compared to previous research, the main contribution of this study is the emphasis placed on the gender perspective. This research is carried out for Andalusia, a region in southern Spain with high water stress. OLS and probit estimations were made with a database of 2650 observations from 2018. No gender diferences are found in the number of habits applied to make efcient use of water in the household. On the other hand, after studying ten household water uses in isolation, gender diferences are found in certain pro-environmental habits. We cannot conclude the existence of a gender gap in environmental awareness of water use. However, the results suggest that there are diferences in the adoption of pro-environmental habits in water use due to the distribution in the household chores, especially in those which are traditionally female or male. https://hdl.handle.net/10481/70022 Sustainability and Development: From Agrarian Development to the Paradigm of Sustainability Entrena Durán, Francisco https://hdl.handle.net/10481/70020 Students' Knowledge of Healthy Food and Their Actual Eating Habits: A Case Study on the University of Granada (Spain) Entrena Durán, Francisco This article focuses on an analysis of the discourses produced during 34 semi-structured interviews (17 men and 17 women) conducted at the University of Granada (Spain) with undergraduate, Master, and Ph.D. students. The interviewees were between 20 and 44 years old. It was observed that the fact of having a high educational level did not prevent University students from eating unhealthily. There is a gap between the fact that 97.1% of 34 students interviewed (that is, 33 of them) know what healthy food is and their self-perception about whether or not what they are eating is healthy, since in 41.2% of them said self-perception is negative. This gap narrows as the interviewees’ age increases and their socio-economic and vital situation is stabilizing which favors that their eating habits become more regular and healthier. Thus, all the interviewees aged 27 or over self-perceived that they were eating healthily. But the biggest differences are those that have to do with the gender of interviewees. Thus, while 23.5% of women interviewed perceived that they were not eating healthy, 76.5% of them felt that they were eating healthy. However, among the men interviewed, these percentages were somehow reversed, in such a way that 58.8% of them believed that they were not eating healthy, compared to 41.2% of them who indicated that they were eating healthy. Therefore, the investigation revealed that women tend to have the best chances of assuming healthy eating habits. Male students living outside the family home or without female partners exhibited greater feeding problems, while females living under similar conditions tended to display healthier eating habits. This is related to the fact that women have traditionally been in charge of acquiring and preparing food. So, women’s food education has not been restricted to the mere transmission to them of knowledge about what healthy food is, but from their childhood they were food trained through their active involvement in practical experiences. Obviously, the solution proposed to this male disadvantage is to not perpetuate macho gender stereotypes that assign women the role of home caregivers, but to seek that both women and men have the opportunity and the duty to experience equally those practical experiences that involve the tasks of the acquisition and preparation of food. Working to achieve a situation like this, not only promotes progress in gender equality, but also helps to overcome the lower training of men to perform the tasks inherent in their diet. https://hdl.handle.net/10481/68027 Actitudes hacia la inmigración en España a través de la Encuesta Social Europea Moldes Anaya, Sergio; Jiménez Aguilar, Francisco Jesús; Jiménez Bautista, Francisco Este artículo examina las actitudes hacia la inmigración en España a través del análisis de los datos más recientes de la Encuesta Social Europea (2014). El principal objetivo de este estudio será evaluar cómo los españoles se muestran frente a la inmigración, analizando cuáles son las amenazas que perciben, qué fuerza tienen y cómo ante estas modulan su respuesta. En base a esto, se diseñó un modelo Logit de respuesta discreta para determinar qué factores relacionados con las amenazas económico- materiales y simbólicas eran desencadenantes de un comportamiento reacio y una actitud negativa hacia la inmigración entre los españoles. https://hdl.handle.net/10481/67295 Addressing COVID trough PCD: policy coherence for vulnerability in development and its relationship to the coronavirus pandemic Moldes Anaya, Sergio; Koff, Harlan; Da Porto, Angelica; Lipovina, Tara Purpose – The purpose of this article is to understand how coronavirus impacts relate to existing vulnerabilities in different world regions. Design/methodology/approach – The article utilizes quantitative analysis to examine regional variations in coronavirus risk assessment. It then qualitatively employs a policy coherence for development (PCD) approach to analyze how public policies contribute to or mitigate vulnerability, defined as the product of exposure to external shocks, institutional coping capabilities and risk associated with social divisions in societies. Findings – The research presented below shows that significant regional variance exists in terms of coronavirus risk, based on statistical analysis of the INFORM COVID-19 Risk Report prepared by the European Commission. The PCD analysis highlights important relationships between public policy strategies and the construction of both underlying vulnerabilities and coronavirus impacts. Practical implications – The PCD approach presented here focuses on the reconciliation of trade-offs. It shows how policy interactions affect vulnerabilities and suggests that coherent policy strategies aimed at reducing vulnerabilities are necessary in order to adequately respond to the coronavirus pandemic. Originality/value – This analysis frames vulnerability as a socially constructed condition and through implementation of a PCD approach, it indicates how policy strategies contribute to or mitigate vulnerabilities. In doing so, it intends to contribute conceptually to the literature on vulnerability by showing how policy incoherences contribute to the construction of this condition. Empirically, the originality of this article is its statistical analysis of regional variance of coronavirus risk and the qualitative analysis of policy strategies in representative cases and how they have affected vulnerabilities and coronavirus impacts.; Propósito: el propósito de este artículo es comprender cómo los impactos del coronavirus se relacionan con las vulnerabilidades existentes en diferentes regiones del mundo. Diseño / metodología / enfoque: el artículo utiliza un análisis cuantitativo para examinar las variaciones regionales en la evaluación del riesgo de coronavirus. Luego emplea cualitativamente un enfoque de coherencia de políticas para el desarrollo (CPD) para analizar cómo las políticas públicas contribuyen o mitigan la vulnerabilidad, definida como el producto de la exposición a choques externos, las capacidades institucionales de afrontamiento y el riesgo asociado con las divisiones sociales en las sociedades. Hallazgos: la investigación que se presenta a continuación muestra que existe una variación regional significativa en términos de riesgo de coronavirus, según el análisis estadístico del Informe de riesgo INFORM COVID-19 preparado por la Comisión Europea. El análisis de la PCD destaca las relaciones importantes entre las estrategias de política pública y la construcción de las vulnerabilidades subyacentes y los impactos del coronavirus. Implicaciones prácticas: el enfoque de CPD que se presenta aquí se centra en la conciliación de las compensaciones. Muestra cómo las interacciones políticas afectan las vulnerabilidades y sugiere que las estrategias políticas coherentes destinadas a reducir las vulnerabilidades son necesarias para responder adecuadamente a la pandemia de coronavirus. Originalidad / valor: este análisis enmarca la vulnerabilidad como una condición construida socialmente y, a través de la implementación de un enfoque de CPD, indica cómo las estrategias de política contribuyen o mitigan las vulnerabilidades. Al hacerlo, pretende contribuir conceptualmente a la literatura sobre vulnerabilidad mostrando cómo las incoherencias políticas contribuyen a la construcción de esta condición. Empíricamente, la originalidad de este artículo es su análisis estadístico de la varianza regional del riesgo de coronavirus y el análisis cualitativo de las estrategias de política en casos representativos y cómo han afectado las vulnerabilidades y los impactos del coronavirus.
