“…In any case, the above-mentioned factors are not sufficient to fully understand the complexity of PECB. In fact, as previously explained, it is essential to consider situational factors because, for instance, the presence of an incinerator in the area of investigation or other proximity effects [251] directly influence local inhabitants' behaviour, their sensitivity and knowledge on environmental issues, regardless of their income, class or education [250]. Socio-cultural or political factors could also affect PECB, like the presence of activists or environmental organizations [270], the diffusion of a specific ideology or the trust in politics [231].…”

“…In a holistic analysis of the conditions and factors influencing consumer behaviour it is mandatory to consider the contextual ones, also known as situational ones [110,137,176,188,249], like the proximity effect [250,251]. These conditions and factors produce significant effects on consumers' behaviours; their inclusion in pro-environmental consumer models represents a real challenge for all scholars.…”

Although there has been a steady increase in the number of studies on consumer behaviour in relation to sustainable development, there is limited focus on the product disposal phase. This systematic literature review intends to: (1) clarify how concepts related to pro-environmental consumer behaviour are understood and analysed in the academic literature on waste management; (2) discover any interplay between pro-environmental consumer behaviour and generic consumer behaviour, and the conditions and factors that favour it. A typical systematic literature review methodology was applied to the papers available on Web of Science, Science Direct and EBSCO (Elton Bryson Stephens Company) host between 1975 and 2019, leading to the selection of 699 final papers. The findings reveal that: (1) Although scholars tend to create a variety of pro-environmental consumer behaviour models depending on their specific field of inquiry, all approaches can be traced back to a limited number of reference theories; (2) The overall level of interplay between pro-environmental consumer behaviour and generic consumer behaviour is limited, nevertheless a favourable context or a supportive institutional-legal framework can significantly influence it; (3) A plethora of conditions and factors favour this type of interplay, involving social psychology, laws, economics, institutions and more; (4) Several critical issues appear in the analysed papers, especially some scholars’ assumptions to be able to identify all key factors. It follows the need for a more interdisciplinary approach, a deeper analysis of the effectiveness of the intervention measures at the governmental and institutional level, and a clear classification of factors and conditions (as proposed by this review).

“…Due to the diverse measures covering under European Regional Development Fund, the scientific researches reveal various subjects, generally dedicated to the impact and reflection of EU funding over concrete economic sector. This is the case for instance for Agovino et all -in [5] they explore the implementation of European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) in particular in the field of separate waste collection in Italian regions and present proofs for failure of 2 programmes for separate waste collection. On the same basic position -the exploration in depth the impact of ERDF this time for some service in tourism is the research of Panfiluk [18].…”

The paper presents the results of survey dedicated to the European funds and their role to the development of the local community in Bulgaria. The survey was conducted in the beginning of 2019 among representatives, from different hierarchical level, of the Bulgarian municipalities. The authors claim that for the small municipalities with limited financial budget and lack of well-developed local economy, which is not directly based on the specific location for tourist services or big private investment, the European funding is the major instrument for the realization of local public policy and regional development. The results of survey show the improvement of the positive attitude towards environment and institutional system of management EU funds in Bulgaria in comparison with the previous programming period.

In specific environmental matters, we found the studies of [28][29][30][31][32]. They showed a series of environmental indicators, and they applied their models to analyze specific territories to make a comparison aiming to identify inequalities among regions.…”

During the 2010–2020 period, the European Union (EU) launched a growth strategy based on three fundamental pillars: smart growth, sustainable growth, and inclusive growth. Aiming to finance the projects related to these growth pillars, the EU used mainly the Rural Development Funds, the Structural Funds, those derived from the R&D Framework Program, the Trans-European Networks, and the European Investment Bank. This research aimed to determine whether the Spanish regions maintain homogeneous efficiency levels by using these resources to improve the levels of environmental quality related to renewable energies. A methodology that is frequently used by researchers in efficiency analyses was chosen, the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). The main findings revealed that the efficiency in the use of renewable energies is very uneven among the Spanish regions and these differences are maintained throughout the period analyzed. These results highlighted the need of changes regarding the proposed criteria for allocating European resources to finance the projects presented by each Spanish region.
