Veronika Mokrejšová: Promoting behavioural change in Generation Z and designing interventions to prevent food waste, including evaluation of their impact

The project aims to promote a change in the behavioural patterns of Generation Z consumers in their food management towards sustainable consumption. Determinants of food waste and motivations for change in this waste-prone age group will be identified. Reported and actual amounts of wasted food will be measured and compared (intervention experiment, focus groups, waste analysis, etc.). Based on the revealed communication preferences, social interactions and behavioural patterns, interventions to prevent wastage will be designed, as well as an evaluation of their impact. The proposed methodology will reflect the specificities and needs of Generation Z in household food management to become an effective information and education tool to prevent and reduce food waste.

The humanitarian dimension of sustainable urban and regional mobility plans

Transport is one of the key factors in the development of society. However, there is a constant contradiction between society’s demands for increasing mobility and the negative effects of transport on the environment and health. The so-called Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans (PUMM) should help solve the problems with vehicles and mobility, which are currently being applied in several Czech cities. The impact of the project will be the linking of technical measures with the social and human dimension and will strengthen the so-called culture of urban mobility.
