“…In the light of these findings, it can be said that environmental consciousness is one of the most crucial factors which shapes consumer's behavior when choosing drinking water. Overall, the findings of the present study confirm that consumers' choice of drinking water is closely related to consumer's culture and identity as also was described by Dalampira et al (2019) when referring to consumers being more aware of the impact of all of their food choices on the environment a result of their changing identities.…”

“…First, Cluster Analysis was performed to group consumers with similar patterns of scores with hierarchical and nonhierarchical methods that were developed to establish a consumers' purchasing behavior typology. According to Dalampira et al (2019), consumers can be segmented into groups according to environmental and food identities.…”

Water is arguably nowadays one of the most important commodities of increasing socio-economic and political value. Several studies have investigated the factors influencing consumers' perception of water quality and water service quality and conclude that are influenced by a constellation of factors both internal and external. In many cases, the assessment of water quality is mainly influenced by organoleptic properties, especially taste whereas other factors are also identified in the literature such as risk perception, water chemicals, familiarity with specific water properties, trust in suppliers and informed consumption provided either by mass media or our personal networks. This study is focused on identifying basic trends in consumer’s preference for drinking water. In particular, the main purpose of this study is to investigate if there is a correlation between the behavior of consumers choosing drinking water and their socio-demographic characteristics or their ecological consciousness towards major environmental challenges that clearly effect the availability and quality of drinking water. To address the research objective, we followed a mixed methods approach in a specific case study area in Greece. Data were obtained from a survey conducted on a random selected sample of 407 consumers in a period between June and September 2022 in the City of Kilkis. Multivariate data analysis was performed to explore the significant factors associated with consumers' choice of drinking water and identify consumer segments with similar consumption behavior based on their socio-demographic characteristics and their attitudes towards environmental issues. A focus group discussion with local experts and policy makers was also useful towards gaining insight. A better understanding of consumers' water consumption preferences and motives can be very useful for all stakeholders involved, as it can contribute to improvements both in water management and in a more effective commercialization in the market, for consumer satisfaction and ecological consciousness. Finally, it can contribute to improvements in consumer services and acceptance of future innovative approached towards water reuse.

“…Identity is interconnected with food consumption in Western societies [19,[28][29][30]. Consumers' awareness of the environmental impact of their food choices is increasing, resulting in identity shifts that influence consumer behavior [31]. Social interactions and expectations based on different contexts influence consumption behavior [32], including place and family context.…”

“…While sustainable behaviors and patterns of consumption are often explored using identity [11,19,31,33], there is limited research on the effect of place identity on sustainable consumption [34]. According to Lee et al (2015), residents who have a strong sense of place identity, associated with valuing a clean and healthy environment, have more positive attitudes toward sustainable consumption [34].…”

Seafood is a vital source of nutrition yet many consumers in the United States have been exposed to competing discourse about the industry’s environmental impacts, influencing consumption habits. Generation Z, a generational cohort whose members value the sustainability of their purchasing decisions, may have unique opinions regarding sustainable seafood given their sustainability values. This qualitative study explored Generation Z undergraduate students’ experiences with seafood and how they perceive the role of seafood in feeding people while sustaining the future natural environment. Data were collected using 11 focus groups in undergraduate classrooms. Researchers conducted an emergent thematic analysis and sufficient interrater reliability was established. Themes identified based on participants’ experience with seafood included geographic location, experience fishing or with fishermen, and seafood and family, implying place attachment and family identity were intertwined with consumption behaviors. Themes identified based on participants’ perception of seafood’s role in feeding people included sustainability, regulations, limited seafood consumption, and limited knowledge, implying Generation Z’s emerging status as the sustainability generation. Results indicate educators should focus on how sustainability can be emphasized in the classroom with clear actions undergraduate Generation Z students can take to improve sustainability.
