Abstract

Activist associations play a crucial role in promoting sustainability through initiatives focused on environmental, social, and cultural restoration and enhancement. These efforts not only contribute to the preservation of ecosystems and local heritage but also foster collective well-being by strengthening community bonds and social inclusion. Furthermore, by directly involving local communities, these associations empower individuals, and increase social capital. Additionally, related physical activities, such as environmental clean-ups or urban farming, enhance participants' psychophysical well-being by encouraging active lifestyles. This paper explores the impact of such initiatives on quality of life, highlighting the connection between sustainability, health, and social aspects.
