Soft measures and their relevance in the transition to circular economy-The case study of the Czech Republic

To accelerate the transition to a circular economy, the European member states apply a broad range of policy instruments. Based on recycling rates and public participation on recycling efforts, the Czech Republic seems to be a country that is on the regular way to a circular economy. However, the environmental effect of policy instruments (e.g. P&E campaigns) is going to be exhausted as the recycling rates are not growing significantly anymore. Those, who are convinced recyclers, are recycling today. Nevertheless, how to motivate chronic non-recyclers to increase their public participation at recycling efforts is questionable. We focus on social norms and social environment to explain their recycling behaviour. Furthermore, the awareness about waste separation belongs to important variables that determine the way how non-recyclers proceed in their recycling efforts.

Informal caregiving as a touchstone of family bonds

Providing informal care to senior member of the family is in many cases challenging the overall family atmosphere, the bonds among family members, and the intergenerational relationships. Besides its positive effects on seniors who can stay within their natural physical and social environment, informal caregiving might impose an increased stress on informal caregivers, reduce their social life and decrease the quality of life. The paper informs about the quality of life as it was perceived by the informal caregivers - standardized instrument CQoL was used in this respect.
