Tutto quello che facciamo, da una semplice passeggiata all’acquisto di prodotti o servizi, ha un certo impatto sull’ambiente e da qualche anno questa consapevolezza sta aumentando, nonostante ciò, spesso ci ritroviamo a ignorare alternative più sostenibili anche quando svolgiamo delle semplici azioni quotidiane. I motivi dietro la mancata adozione di comportamenti pro-ambientali sono molteplici, spesso si sovrappongono più fattori ognuno dei quali contribuisce in diversa misura alla scelta del comportamento da mettere in atto. I fattori che hanno influenza, sia essa negativa o positiva, sui modelli di comportamento sostenibili, sono quindi potenzialmente infiniti e soprattutto combinabili tra loro. L’obiettivo di questa tesi è quello di comprendere i meccanismi della comunicazione nel rischio ed in particolare di quella branca della risk communication che si occupa della comunicazione per la prevenzione applicata al tema del cambiamento climatico e alla tutela dell’ambiente. Partendo da quanto è stato fatto finora nel campo della comunicazione per la prevenzione ambientale e dagli studi riguardo i motivi che veicolano la nostra propensione ai comportamenti pro-ambientali, ho individuato una serie di elementi che hanno la capacità di influire sulle nostre scelte in campo ambientale. Ho quindi deciso di analizzare quei fattori a cui è stata riconosciuta la capacità di influenzare il nostro comportamento nei confronti dell’ambiente che non erano stati approfonditi e quei fattori che non erano stati presi in considerazione, se non marginalmente. Sovrapponendo tali elementi agli obiettivi della care communication, ho infine tentato di individuare una possibile strategia di pianificazione della comunicazione per la prevenzione in ragione degli elementi di influenza e delle barriere analizzate. L’ultimo capitolo della tesi è dedicato alle linee guida per la costruzione di una campagna di care communication ambientale che tiene conto di tutti gli elementi affrontati in precedenza, quali barriere, elementi di influenza e tipologie di azioni, inserendoli in una metodologia progettuale che prende spunto sia dal design della comunicazione che dal marketing al fine di fornire ai designer un modello utile dal quale prendere spunto nel momento in cui ci si dovesse dedicare allo sviluppo di una campagna di care communication per la tutela ambientale. In definitiva, la funzione principale della tesi è di mostrare la complessità degli elementi di cui tener conto quando si progetta una campagna di care communication, anche su un tema ormai parecchio dibattuto come quello del cambiamento climatico.

Abstract
Everything we do, from a simple walk to the purchase of products or services, has an impact on the environment, this awareness has been increasing in the latest years; despite this, we often ignore more sustainable alternatives even when we carry out simple daily actions. There are many reasons behind the failure to adopt pro-environmental behaviors; often, multiple factors overlap, each of which contributes to a different extent to the choice of behavior to be implemented. The factors that have a negative or positive influence on sustainable behavior models are potentially infinite and, above all, combinable with each other. The goal of this thesis is to understand the mechanisms of risk communication and in particular that branch of risk communication that deals with communication for prevention applied to the issue of climate change and environmental protection. Starting from what has been done so far in the field of communication for environmental prevention and from the studies on the reasons that convey our propensity to pro-environmental behaviors, I have identified a series of elements that can influence our choices in the environmental field. I, therefore, decided to analyze those factors that have been recognized as having the ability to influence our behavior towards the environment that had not been investigated and those factors that had not been taken into consideration, if not marginally. By superimposing these elements to the objectives of care communication, I finally attempted to identify a possible communication planning strategy for prevention based on the elements of influence and the barriers analyzed. The last chapter of the thesis is dedicated to the guidelines for the construction of an environmental care communication campaign that takes into account all the elements previously addressed, such as barriers, elements of influence, and types of actions, inserting them into a design methodology that takes inspiration both from communication design and from marketing to provide designers with a useful model from which to take inspiration when they have to devote themselves to the development of a care communication campaign for environmental protection. Finally, the main function of the thesis is to show the complexity of the elements to be taken into account when designing a care communication campaign, even on a much-debated topic such as climate change.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
