Data-driven supporting of Schwartz attitude model for a deeper understanding of sustainability awareness in Eastern European countries

Abstract

In the 2030 agenda of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) formulated by the UN in 2015, strict expectations were formulated for the signatory countries, so the countries of the world are implementing sustainability interventions that enable the implementation of the agenda. It is important to highlight that different social and economic systems require different political solutions, one of which is social acceptance. In this research, the results of the questionnaire attitude survey of Eastern European countries are connected with their macroeconomic indicators, in which changes over time are expressed in their ability to achieve sustainable development goals. The results of the WB data showed a more self-sacrificing, more open to social participation. Data-driven development trajectories can be accepted by the residents of a given country if the trajectories generated by the questionnaire are similar. The results of the research shed light on the differences in the national sustainability policies and the thinking of the population, thus laying the foundation for the inclusion of public participation and its importance in the strategic plan.
