Description
Summary:As part of the international project City-Identity-Sustainability, a study was carried out in two popular neighborhoods in the city of Guadalajara. One of the neighborhoods, Analco, was traditional and well consolidated; the other, Los Colorines, was new and in the process of consolidation. An adapted survey was applied to evaluate identity, sustainability, and demographic data. Results suggest that the relationship between greater or lesser consolidation and practices of sustainability is mediated mainly by factors of identity and collective satisfaction with the place.
