Descripción
Sumario:This work aims to assess the proximity to the sustainability of the inhabitants of an urban community through the measurement of actions, attitudes and dispositions that, from a socio-environmental perspective, contribute to this field. The variables measured are: austerity, altruism, ecological behavior, equity and spirituality. The work, which follows an exploratory character, exposes the results obtained from a non-probabilistic sample of 653 inhabitants of Tuxtla Gutiérrez, Chiapas, a city with high levels of inequality and poverty in southern of Mexico. The results obtained suggest that the inhabitants of this city are not close to sustainability, with equity and austerity being the fields with the best valuation, while altruism and pro-environmental behavior are the most distant to it. The implications of these results are analyzed and discussed and research lines are projected towards the incorporation of sustainability as the axis of development in urban centers.
