The Research Project SPECTRUM is based on the social perception of the ecologica transition, by making a comprehensive analysis of the interactions between the socioeconomic and communicative factors and people's opinion of the ecological issues at the regional level. The research is designed to capture the socio-economic determinants and the communication strategies that drive the people's view of environment and its territorial specificities in Spain, to derive policy measures to successfully reach a green economy in the horizon 2050. It combines techniques of sociology, economy, communication and computing to favor citizen's empowerment and citizens' active participation in the Spanish ecological pathway to a green economy. The research takes an inter-disciplinary methodology that integrates regional surveys to identify people's perception, macroeconomic models of economic impact analysis, microeconometric models, communication tools (Content Discourse Analysis) and computing techniques to follow a gradual design of policy mechanisms able to facilitate the Spanish ecological transition.
