Abstract:
This study is aimed to analyze the various features and elements related to strategic organizational sustainability. The analysis departs from the assumption that traditional organizations must face a lot of challenges posed by the new global economy context confronting contradictory patterns of globalization and des-globalization processes. To create the new conditions for the organizations not only to survive but to succeed, it is proposed a new model based on designing and implementing strategic organizational sustainability, abandoning the narrow focus on economic growth and profits to embrace the social inclusion and equity as well as the environmental sustainability issues. Keywords: Economic growth, Organizational sustainability, organizations, social inclusion, strategy, sustainability.

Abstract:
Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations. However, that concept lacks of clarity, which leads to various interpretations. Scholars have argued that the definition of sustainable development can be explained into four elements, namely the integration principle, sustainable use, intra-generational equity, and inter-generational equity. It analyses the elements of integration and sustainable using both legal and non-legal perspectives and shows how the elements have been recognized in various legal documents, while finds that various international commitments have indicated the growing concerns for conservation and sustainable use of natural resources. Pembangunan berkelanjutan adalah pembangunan untuk memenuhi kebutuhan generasi sekarang tanpa mengganggu kemampuan generasi yang akan datang. Definisi pembangunan berkelanjutan dibagi menjadi 4 (empat), yaitu prinsip integrasi, pemanfaatan secara berkelanjutan, keadilan intra generasi, dan keadilan antar generasi. Artikel ini menganalisis prinsip integrasi dan pemanfaatan berkelanjutan. Artikel ini memandang bahwa prinsip integrasi harus diinterpretasikan dalam kerangka perlindungan lingkungan, sehingga memperoleh prioritas guna menyeimbangkan antara kebutuhan perlindungan lingkungan dengan kebutuhan akan pembangunan. Di samping itu, meskipun terdapat berbagai penafsiran mengenai pemanfaatan berkelanjutan, namun pengakuan tentang pemanfaatan berkelanjutan cukup untuk menunjukkan adanya peningkatan perhatian terhadap pemanfaatan berkelanjutan atas sumber daya lingkungan.

Abstract:
Abstract In December 2019, World Trade Organization (WTO) Members agreed that the Structured Discussions on Investment Facilitation for Development would move into a negotiating mode, previously set to begin in March 2020. Their goal is to have a concrete outcome by the WTO’s 2021 Ministerial Conference. These negotiations are an important step towards creating a multilateral framework on a specific, technical area of foreign investment – investment facilitation. This paper seeks to do two things: (1) to provide a comprehensive analysis of a potential framework by chronicling the genesis of the idea for such a framework and the discussions, discussing competing views on an investment facilitation framework and outlining the principal elements a framework; and (2) to argue that a framework should include provisions focused on facilitating sustainable investment for sustainable development. To that end, it advances suggestions for promoting sustainable investment and introduces a provision, the Recognized Sustainable Investor, that could be included in the framework to incentivize international investors to invest sustainably.

Abstract:
The practical definition of sustainable development remains "balance between the social,economic and natural resources”. To builda system for sustainable development inprogress is very difficult; it should be noted that to talk about the three elements at thesame time. Finding balance, adds more difficult, because, "the preservation of theecosystem", includes in itself, human capital,making peoples an integral part of theecosystem that we are trying to save. Mostly, sustainable development requires major andradical changes, in particular to human behaviors and habits, connected to nature and theeconomy. The aim of this article is to identify the role of education in sustainabledevelopment. The development of education inthe context of sustainable development,promotes the correct answer of science, but a way of engaging with different perspectiveson the world we live in, and share together every moment of our lives.

Abstract:
Economic development brings about urbanisation which may result in rapid housing expansion. The health and well-being of communities is often not considered as a priority of urbanisation with the pressure for developing better economies. Sustainability principles in housing developments are perceived to be able to enhance and to improve the quality of living. The approach to sustainability can, however, be interpreted and prioritised differently. Many developing countries such as Malaysia are depending upon industrialisation for the development of their economies. Continuing urbanisation and industrialisation in these countries indirectly creates tensions between the need for a better built environment, and the push for economic growth. One specific phenomena in Malaysia is the introduction of the mixed-use urban neighbourhood, whereby residential development is netsled within the industrial establishments. On one hand, this helps to create job opportunities and improve the local economy. On the other, it creates concerns in the relations to the house planning, and to the well-being of the residents. These have potential exposures to industrial activities that are associated with environmental problems, such as, poor air quality, local temperature increases, and excessive noise levels. This research applied the current international trends of sustainability practices in housing development in searching for the most appropriate strategies for developing sustainable residential-industrial neighborhoods. Cross reference to other countries strategies and experiences can be adaptation for Malaysian conditions. A residential-industrial community in the city of Pasir Gudang Johor, Malaysia, has been selected as a case study in order to examine the perceived problems of indoor environmental quality in such environments. The result of a questionnaire survey and in-situ measurement indicates that they are facing indoor environmental problems. A set of recommendations for housing guidelines which are tailored for local Malaysians conditions have been identified, and have potential for improving the housing development guidelines and policies for mixed-use community living. Comprehensive strategies will need to be developed to achieve housing development sustainability goals. The development of Master Planned Communities (MPC's) is suggested to be appropriate mechanism to developing planning controls. This will ensure the improvement of indoor environmental quality of living in residential-industrial housing developments in Malaysia. It is anticipated that this research will make a positive contribution to developing decision-making procedures that are appropriate to achieving the goals of sustainable housing development in relation to mixed-used residential housing, It is also expected that this research will assist in establishment of a unified national sustainable housing strategy, and in the rationalised adoption of a master planned community approach.

nay October 2007, 187 Pages This thesis study is developed under the lights of new developments related to rural tourism sector in the world. With the effects of emerging term &lsquo
sustainability&rsquo
in 1980s, sustainable tourism concept has found new implementation areas. The increasing demand on the tourism activities taking place in rural areas has lead the governments to find ways of benefiting from this tendency in a sustainable way. Since the early 1990s, a new type of rural tourism called as agri-tourism has been developed as a concept that integrates agriculture and tourism activities in the western world. Whether it is evaluated as a tourism or agriculture development element, it is a new element of country planning. Nowadays, it is seen that there is also a new tendency for agri-tourism at local level through local initiatives in Turkey. Although there is still no governmental regulation for agri-tourism activities, political and practical developments demonstrate that the sector should be evaluated as a planning element for Turkey. The main purpose of this study is examining the rural development element characteristic of agri-tourism concept as an element for enhancing the rural tourism activities in Turkey. To achieve the purpose, two examples from EU- Lublin and Tuscany Regions were examined to understand the dynamics of agri-tourism as a planning element. For these study interpretative-comparative-textual method is used. Accordingly, the present condition in Turkey is evaluated through the obtained data and SWOT Analysis method was employed for analyzing the data. Accordingly, some suggestions are presented for developing agri-tourism sector in Turkey.

Abstract:
The purpose of this thesis is to find out what it takes for entrepreneurs to negotiate strategically in order to ultimately influence systemic change towards sustainability. It focuses on the challenges sustainability entrepreneurs face as they negotiate their twin objectives of social mission and positive cashflow during their collaborative processes. To answer this purpose, I conducted a participatory action research with the entrepreneurs at Hubs Westminster, King’s Cross and Islington in London. The Hub is a global community of people from every profession, background and culture working to tackle the world's most pressing social, cultural and environmental challenges. The Framework for Strategic Sustainable Development (FSSD) was used as a lens for the overall research while the Seven Elements Theory of Negotiation targeted the negotiation process. The thesis demonstrates that some core challenges need to be addressed in the entrepreneur’s preparation for their negotiation; and that entrepreneurs can intentionally favourably position themselves through their strategic actions in their attempt to meet the need to combine economic objectives with concerns about social responsibility and environmentalism. The implication of the thesis lies in better awareness on how to aim at creative outcomes during collaborations. Its originality lies in shedding light in this niche and rarely touched combination of sustainability, entrepreneurship and negotiation.

Esta dissertação, baseada na análise da gestão ambiental como elemento de estratégia empresarial, trata de um estudo de caso cujo objeto é a PETROBRAS, no período de 1990 até os dias atuais. O objetivo principal foi analisar as motivações, a importância e os resultados com que a gestão ambiental vem sendo incorporada ao processo de planejamento estratégico da PETROBRAS. O objetivo secundário foi analisar as implicações das questões ambientais no comportamento das indústrias, num contexto global, e a importância da gestão ambiental em mercado de franca competitividade. A pesquisa, desenvolvida com fontes primárias e, principalmente, secundárias, mostrou que a história vem sendo pontuada por fortes reações do meio industrial às graves questões ambientais globais e que a gestão ambiental tem tido uma crescente percepção quanto à sua função como instrumento de vantagem competitiva. Quanto à PETROBRAS, percebe-se uma correspondência entre as questões ambientais mundiais, a evolução de sua gestão ambiental sob a ótica de suas políticas e diretrizes, e a importância estratégica desta no processo de planejamento. A análise dos resultados dessa evolução, contudo, é prejudicada pela falta de objetivos e metas corporativos bem definidos e correlacionados ao planejamento estratégico, a despeito dos muitos e importantes programas ambientais desenvolvidos pela empresa nesse período. Conclui-se que a gestão ambiental da companhia, hoje baseada na norma ISO 14001 e no primeiro Plano Estratégico de SMS, formulado em 2002, após os acidentes da Baía da Guanabara e do Paraná em 2000, e da plataforma P-36 em 2001, possui elementos importantes e objetivos bem definidos para fazer frente aos impactos ambientais potenciais de seu processo produtivo, além de exceder as exigências legais, num caminho semelhante ao adotado pelas grandes empresas de petróleo do mundo, que buscam atender aos requisitos do desenvolvimento sustentável e às exigências de cidadania corporativa. Com o objetivo de dar consistência às estratégias de SMS da PETROBRAS, melhorar sua imagem de forma sustentável, criar um efetivo diferencial e firmar o seu posicionamento competitivo, recomenda-se um grande esforço de articulação e desdobramento das políticas e diretrizes corporativas, além do desenvolvimento de cultura fortemente conservacionista, através do fortalecimento da consciência ecológica de todos os empregados.

Abstract:
Due to the rapid economic growth and industrial development in China, the constantly soaring upGDP has made many people believe that the golden age of China has come. But along with the boomingdevelopment, the neglect and violation of the natural environment has brought intensive discussion and criticism.Moreover, during past decades, frequent natural disasters and extreme weathers resulting from human activitieshave made local dwellers suffer from economical loss, as well as physical harm. Thus more attention fromwithin the country has been drawn to the environmental issues; media reports, national debates and researcheshave been going on for years. Among which, the problem of air pollution has caught a large public concern,especially when the PM 2.5 in Chinese metropolises like Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Xi’an etc. exceeded900 micrograms per cubic meter. In previous analysis of PM 2.5 pollutants in developing countries, it has beenfound that most of those aerosol particles are from the burning of fossil fuels and biomass, and in China’s case,coal burning has been blamed largely, due to the fact that the use of coal takes up about 70% of total energyconsumption. Based on data analysis and chemical ratio examination, this thesis is to find out the connectionbetween PM 2.5 and Coal burning in China’s capital city Beijing.

Full text
Abstract:
Syftet med studien är att bedöma miljöpåverkan av tre alternativ av väggelement med olika ballastmaterial. Alternativ 1 har 100% krossad återvunnen betong som ballast. Alternativ 2 har ballast av krossat berg. I alternativ 3 består ballasten av naturgrus i fina fraktionerna och krossat berg i grova fraktionerna. Väggelementet i alternativ 3 är en av produkterna som tillverkas av företaget Hedareds Sand och Betong AB (Heda), ett prefabriceringsföretag i Hedared som ligger ca. 17 km utanför Borås. Återvunnen betong har den självklara fördelen att man undviker deponering av betongavfall. Med mindre kostnader och mindre belastning på miljön bidrar detta till hållbar utveckling inom betongindustri. Som metod har livscykelanalys använts. Livscykelanalys är en metod som används för att bedöma miljöpåverkan av en produkt eller en service under hela eller del av sin livstid. När livscykelanalys används för att jämföra olika produkter, vilket är fallet i den här studien, kan man begränsa att studera del av livstiden. I den här studien har man valt att studera de två första skeden av elementens livscykel, dvs anskaffningen av råvaror och transporter av råvaror till anläggningen där elementen tillverkas. Man har antagit att tillverkningsprocessen för alla tre alternativ är samma, varför man exkluderat detta från livscykelanalysen. De kategorier man har valt att undersöka är: klimatpåverkan, förtunning av ozonlagret, försurning, övergödning, skapande av marknära ozon och abiotiska resursutarmning. I studien har två scenario studerats. Det första är att restbetong transporteras från Hedas anläggning till krossanläggning 18 km bort för att sedan transportera ballasten tillbaka till Heda. I det scenariot har det visat sig att alternativ 1 har lägre påverkan än alternativ 3 i alla kategorier. Detta trots att alternativ 3 har färre transportsträckor än alternativ 1. Men det är alternativ 2 som har lägsta påverkan i alla kategorier. En stark orsak är att alternativ 2 har 80 kg mindre cement per kubikmeterelement än de två andra alternativen som har samma recept förutom ballasten. I det andra scenariot antas att krossningen sker vid Hedas anläggning med mobil krossanläggning. Scenariot uppvisar starkt förbättring av alternativ 1 ur miljösynpunkt. Alternativ 2 har i det nya scenariot högre påverkan än alternativ 1 i två av kategorierna (förtunning av ozonlagret +37 % och övergödning +2 %). I de övriga kategorierna är alternativ 2 fortfarande bättre än alternativ 1, även om skillnaderna är små. Alternativ 3 är sämsta för miljön eftersom det har största påverkan i samtliga studerade kategorierna.   I fem av kategorierna är det cementet som dominerar miljöpåverkan. I den sjätte kategorin, förtunning av ozonlagret, är det transporterna som bidrar mest till miljöpåverkan. Sammantaget är påverkan från ballasten förhållandevis mindre avgörande. Därför kan återvunnen betong som ballast till väggelement bli fördelaktig ur miljösynpunkt om den inte medför ökning av andra råvaror framförallt cement för att kompensera eventuella sämre hållfasthet. Samtidigt om logistiken kring återvunnen betong är optimerat så att det inte medför väsentligt fler och längre transportsträckor.
The aim of the study is to assess the environmental impact of three alternatives of walling with different aggregate. Option 1 has 100% crushed recycled concrete aggregate (RCA). Option 2 has aggregate of crushed rock. In option 3, the aggregate consists of natural gravel in the fine fractions and crushed rock in the rough fractions. The wall element in option 3 is one of the products manufactured by the company Hedareds Sand and Betong AB (Heda), a prefabrication company in the Hedared which is located about 17 km outside Borås. RCA has the obvious advantage of avoiding landfilling of concrete waste. With less costs and less burden on the environment contributes to sustainable development in the concrete industry.   Life cycle assessment has been used as a method. Life cycle assessment is a method used to assess the environmental impact of a product or service throughout or part of its lifetime. When life cycle analysis is used to compare different products, as is the case in this study, it can be limited to study part of the lifetime. This study has chosen to study the first two phases of the life cycle of the elements, i.e. the acquisition of raw materials and the transportation of raw materials to the plant where the elements are produced. It has been assumed that the manufacturing process for all three alternatives is the same, which is why it was excluded from the life cycle assessment. The categories chosen to investigate are: Global warming, ozone depletion, acidification, eutrophication, photochemical oxidation and abiotic depletion.   In the study, two scenarios have been studied. The first is that the concrete waste is transported from Hedas plant to crushing plant 18 km away and then transport the ballast back to Heda. In this scenario, option 1 has been shown to have a lower impact than option 3 in all categories. This is even though option 3 has fewer transport distances than option 1. But it's option 2 that has the lowest impact in all categories. A strong cause is that option 2 has 80 kg less cement per cubic meter element than the two other options which have the same recipe except for the aggregate. In the second scenario, it is assumed that the crushing takes place at Hedas plant with mobile crushing plant. The scenario shows a strong improvement in option 1 from an environmental point of view. In the new scenario, option 2 has a higher impact than option 1 in two of the categories (ozone depletion + 37% and eutrophication + 2%). In the other categories, option 2 is still better than option 1, although the differences are small. Option 3 is the worst for the environment as it has the greatest impact in all the studied categories.  In five of the categories, it is the cement that dominates the environmental impact. In the sixth category, the ozone depletion, it is the transport that contributes most to environmental impact. Overall, the influence of the ballast is relatively less decisive. Therefore, RCA to walling can be beneficial from an environmental point of view if it does not lead to an increase in other raw materials above all cement to compensate for any weaker strength. At the same time if the logistics of recycled concrete is optimized so that it does not involve significantly more and longer transport distances.

Roopnarain, Sherissa. "Petrogenesis of Carbonatites in the Alnö Complex, Central Sweden." Thesis, Uppsala universitet, Institutionen för geovetenskaper, 2013. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:uu:diva-215436.

Full text
Abstract:
The Alnö Complex is a Late Precambrian alkaline and carbonatite intrusion (c. 30km2) into Early Proterozoic country rock that extends from the north east, to the north western shoulder of Alnö Island. Carbonatites are rare among volcanic provinces, with Oldoinyo Lengai of northern Tanzania being the only active carbonatite volcano in the world today. The high carbonate mineral volumes and rare earth element (REE) concentrations of carbonatites, in combination with the intrusive-extrusive nature of their suites contribute to the rarity of these rocks. Carbonatites, through their peculiar petrological and geochemical compositions, provide vital insights to the composition and condition of the Earth’s mantle. The genesis of the Alnö carbonatites and their relation to other lithological units at the complex is however, only partially understood. This stems from the epistemological division of carbonatites as having either a ‘magmatic’ or ‘reactive’ origin. This study focuses on sampled carbonatites from the Alnö Complex, employing an oxygen and carbon isotope approach on their native calcite, complemented with petrological and mineralogical methods in order to constrain petrogenesis. As a reference, oxygen and carbon isotope data of calcite from an earlier Alnö investigation as well as from an array of data from comparative alkaline complexes elsewhere are also discussed. The combined data and the derived findings support a scenario that is consistent with the ‘magmatic’ model wherein carbonatites have a primary mantle-derived origin, and prospectively stem from a parent magma akin to that of Oldoinyo Lengai, but have experienced a degree of silicate and sedimentary assimilation. The extraction of the Alnö carbonatites for their rare earth metals is a looming possibility due to the current volatility in the rare earth market. The risks and opportunities involved in this kind of natural resource extraction provide a context wherein sustainable development paradigms can be applied. The capacity of the Alnö environment to withstand the impact of development in the mining sector is discussed through a perspective of establishing a quarry, and quarry-related methods for rare earth extraction.

The sugar cane plantation is present in Brazil since the Portuguese colonization beginning. The techniques used by the sugar cane industry toward production of sugar, and then alcohol, were not worried with preservation of natural resources, being associated, along its history, with environment damages as deforestation, fires, natural biodiversity injuries, water and soil contamination, among others. However, with the growth of social mobilization and the State rules around natural resources preservation and environmental quality, since the mid-twentieth century, the field and the industry suffered a technical reformulation to reduce their environmental liabilities and increase its scale production, at the same time. The growing demand for renewable fuels originated with international agreements to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases intensified the expansion of the sugar cane industry in the areas of Cerrado in Brazil. The adequate climate (settings), soil and topographical conditions of this biome- territory made the success and intensification of this plantations, reconfiguring the areas an restructuring the environmental where they were planted. In micro south-west of Goiás State works ten sugar cane industries and another one being implemented. The goal of this study is set up a series of information about this sector, its transformations in a technical way, passing trough different phases (sugar cane, than alcohol and energetic cane at least) until nowadays, when incorporates the fame of sustainable development provider. In this search, the relationships between environmental policies, especially post-Kyoto, and the expansion of the sector are emphasized. Inside this, we sought to understand how the installation of the sugarcane industry in the micro region of south-west Goiás could offer empirical subsidies, from a socio-spatial analysis of territorial dynamics and legitimacy of the environmental speech made by the environmental sector. The methodology used was semi-structured interviews with those responsible for environment part and with the mill workers; lifting of the environmental legislation related; analysis of the studies and reports of environmental impacts of installed plants; and research of environmental public Agencies assessments. It was found that technological standard used by new plants installed in the micro south-west Goiás allowed minimize some environmental liabilities historically rooted to the sector. However, the intensification of sugar cane cultivation at this micro region can result in new impacts as increase the use of water for irrigation, soil compaction and monoculture. It is necessary therefore, an environmental regulation that covers the specific situation of the sector and consider the situations experienced by local actors in order to preserve environmental quality.
A cultura da cana-de-açúcar está presente no Brasil desde o início do processo da colonização portuguesa. As técnicas utilizadas pela atividade canavieira voltadas para produção do açúcar e posteriormente do álcool não tiveram como base uma preocupação com a preservação dos recursos naturais, sendo associadas, ao longo de sua história, a grandes prejuízos ambientais, como desmatamento, queimadas, perda da biodiversidade natural, contaminação hídrica e dos solos, entre outros. No entanto, com o crescimento da mobilização social e do Estado em torno da preservação dos recursos naturais e da qualidade ambiental a partir de meados do século XX, houve uma reformulação técnica por parte deste setor, tanto no campo como na indústria, com o intuito de diminuir seus passivos ambientais ao mesmo tempo em que aumentava sua escala de produção. A crescente demanda por combustíveis renováveis, originada com os acordos internacionais para diminuir as emissões de gases do efeito estufa, intensificou a expansão do setor sucroenergético nas áreas de Cerrados no Brasil. Devido às condições (configurações) climáticas, pedológicas e topográficas deste bioma-território serem adequadas ao cultivo da cana-de-açúcar, houve uma reconfiguração espacial e uma reestruturação socioambiental nos locais onde este plantio foi implantado ou intensificado. Na microrregião do Sudoeste de Goiás, estão em atividades dez usinas sucroenergéticas e uma em fase de implantação. Este trabalho tem como objetivo verificar a estruturação do setor nesta microrregião e as consequências ambientais que se estabeleceram. O trabalho procura estabelecer, inicialmente, um conjunto de informações sobre como o setor foi se transformando na perspectiva técnica, passando por diferentes fases (açucareiro, sucroalcooleiro, sucroenergético), até chegar aos dias atuais, quando incorpora no seu portfólio de “provedor do desenvolvimento sustentável”. Dentro desse itinerário, dá-se ênfase entre as relações das políticas ambientais, especialmente pós-Kyoto, e a expansão do setor. E dentro dessa expansão, procurou-se compreender como a instalação do setor sucroenergético na microrregião do Sudoeste de Goiás poderia oferecer subsídios empíricos, a partir de uma análise socioespacial, da articulação da dinâmica territorial e sua legitimação do discurso ambiental feito pelo setor. Para isso, utilizou-se como metodologia entrevistas semiestruturadas com os responsáveis da parte ambiental e operários das usinas; levantamento da legislação ambiental que abrange o setor; análise dos estudos e relatórios de impactos ambientais das usinas instaladas; e levantamento das autuações ambientais nos órgãos públicos. Verificou-se que o padrão tecnológico utilizado pelas novas usinas instaladas na microrregião Sudoeste de Goiás permitiu minimizar alguns passivos ambientais historicamente arraigados ao setor. No entanto, a intensificação do cultivo canavieiro na microrregião pode acarretar novos impactos, como a intensificação do uso da água para irrigação, a perda de área para outras culturas, compactação dos solos e a monocultura. Faz-se necessária, assim, uma normatização ambiental que abranja as situações específicas desse setor e que leve em consideração as situações vivenciadas pelos agentes locais, no intuito de preservar a qualidade ambiental.

Abstract:
This paper aims to present an interdisciplinary analysis of the recent globalization trends in Romanian cities and to propose a series of guidelines for sustainable future management processes and plans. In order to provide an encompassing perspective on the Romanian urban landscapes, three cities of different scales, socio-cultural and historical backgrounds were analyzed. The study sites are: Bucharest - capital city and the largest financial, cultural and industrial centre of Romania, Sibiu - a medieval Transylvanian citadel designated European Capital of Culture in 2007 and Ramnicu-Valcea - a small town situated in a touristic and cultural mountain area.   As culture has become increasingly global and placeless, more scholars argue for the careful management of diversity in cityscapes and put emphasis on the role of the local context. Picturesque and Gardenesque are landscape architecture styles that have acknowledged large scale replication in different parts of the world (for instance, in New Zealand, Australia, USA, Argentina, China). Devoid of their original significance and complexity in expression and usage, these design styles have been similarly assimilated in the Romanian cities.   In the post-communist era, the reconfiguration of Romanian urban landscapes translated in a surge in office, commercial and advertising developments, a rapid increase in urban sprawl and enlargement of infrastructure that supports car dependency. All these elements valued in a consumerism society transformed in an unprecedented fashion the urban morphology of Bucharest, Sibiu and Ramnicu-Valcea. The overarching aim of this paper is to produce a comprehensive research material with a multi-stakeholder perspective (academia, local administration, decision makers, developers, practitioners and citizens) that puts forward sustainable alternatives to current practices. The study generates a conclusion that Bucharest has acknowledged the most rapid and apparent transformations at the city fabric level under the influence of globalization elements. Nevertheless, all three urban centres analyzed have their unique local character that should be enhanced in order to create more diverse and resilient landscapes.

Abstract:
Through this paper, we are going to propose ‘SUSTAINED METHOD’ for the solution of environmental issues and problems. This method has two pillars: First one is Economic Development and another one is Social Development (Tangible and Intangible Needs of Human Beings), essentially include the development of both the elements in an equivalent manner. Here the demanding theory is of “Maslow’s Need Hierarchy” which contains a set of Tangible needs like food, shelter, clothing’s etc.at the grass root level of hierarchy (closer to animals) and a set of Intangible needs like self-esteem, belongingness, love etc. at the top. In a society charged with more Economic Development, which has feature of ‘economic growth’ like accumulating wealth more than basic needs, adoption of illegal means is controlled by Social Values of an individual. Here the operating question is ‘why does an individual withhold wealth after the fulfilment of his basic needs? Keeping in view, we need to draw the Total Development Process as a system, in which both the elements of ‘Sustainability’ will work in an integrated manner. Because the Economic Development (Economic Behavior) of peoples makes them habitual of capturing economic power, this is the point of misbalancing which need to be correct as it creates lots of serious problems with many faces like poverty, hinder redistribution of wealth, wastage of environmental property, non-realization of their social duties towards nature, lack of Social Development. So, we must need to establish a balancing approach between the two i.e., Tangible (Economic Development) and Intangible need (Social Development). This will result in ‘Balanced Sustainable Development Model’.

Abstract:
Space as the entirety of elements occurring within it and their configuration, is subject to analysis for purposes of optimizing activities connected with it, or generally speaking, optimal spatial management including predicting its future states and preventing spatial conflicts. Geospatial analysis is a complex process, the essential components of which are the collection, modelling and analysis of spatial data. Drawing proper conclusions is largely dependent on the type of spatial model developed. The author carries out the characterization of selected types of network models for purposes of spatial analysis in the sustainable development of space, providing examples of modelling various elements of space on the form of a network. She also touches on the aspect of hierarchy and scale-freeness in these models, as well as the possibility of predicting future states of space, and also using the properties of network models in decision processes to achieve sustainable development.

Full text
Abstract:
Groundwater represents 97% of the world’s available freshwater resources and is extensively abstracted throughout the world. While abundant in a global context, it can only de developed to a certain extent without causing environmental impacts. Also, it is highly variable across the globe, and where it is heavily relied on, it is less renewable. Hence, it is critically important that this resource is managed sustainably. However, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the 2030 Development Agenda do not, as a rule, account explicitly for the significant role that groundwater plays and will continue to play in sustainable development. This report aims to unpack and highlight this role through consistent analysis of the interlinkages between groundwater and the targets of the SDGs. The key features of groundwater relevant to the SDGs are its use, management and sustainability. The methodology used to analyse groundwater interlinkages with SDG targets includes, first, identification of ‘evidence-based’ and ‘logical’ interlinkages. The first type of interlinkages is supported by existing data, while the second is by information and logic that needs to be drawn from existing bodies of relevant research. While only a few interlinkages may be seen at present as “evidence-based”, more data are continuously emerging to make more interlinkages supported by hard-core evidence. Subsequently, the interlinkages are classified into either ‘reinforcing’, ‘conflicting’ or ‘mixed’ – depending on whether achievement of a target will have predominantly positive, negative, or mixed impact on groundwater. The interlinkages are also classified into ‘primary’ and ‘secondary’, depending on how strong and direct the impacts on groundwater from achieving the targets may be. The report presents a summary of key interlinkages, and subsequently provides the narrative of all ‘primary’ ones. The analysis suggests that more than half of interlinkages are ‘reinforcing’, while only a few are ‘conflicting’. From a policy perspective i) conflicting interlinkages are the most critical and difficult ones to manage, and ii) it is important to draw synergies between SDG initiatives and groundwater to allow reinforcing interlinkages to materialise. Nearly a third of all identified interlinkages were classified as ‘mixed’. This means that when target activities are planned, careful consideration must be given to possible impacts on groundwater to avoid unintended negative outcomes that may not be evident at first. Primary interlinkages that constitute 43% of all may be the easiest to understand and the most important to plan for. However, there are even more secondary interlinkages. This means that groundwater experts need to be able to share knowledge to a range of actors involved in addressing the targets with secondary interlinkages to groundwater, and vice versa. It is also shown that i) the importance of groundwater to sustainable development is poorly recognised and captured at the SDG target level; ii) there is a lack of globally useful, up-to-date and SDG-relevant groundwater data available, which makes it difficult to make globally, and even locally, relevant recommendations for groundwater use, management and sustainability in the SDG era, and iii) there are often poor links between targets and their indicators. This may signal that all groundwater-related and groundwater-relevant aspirations may not be translated into real, let alone, measurable action. This report is not a comprehensive analysis and involves an element of subjectivity, associated primarily with the data and information paucity on one hand, and with the imperfection of the SDG target and indicator system itself – on another. However, even with these limitations, the report shows how significant groundwater is in sustainable development, even if the current SDG framework is implicit about this. Furthermore, it suggests a structured way to improve the visibility of groundwater in the SDG framework as it continues to develop.

Full text
Abstract:
House flies (Muscadomestica) are global pests of animal agriculture, causing major annoyance, carrying pathogens among production facilities and humans and thus have profound impacts on animal comfort and productivity. Successful fly control requires an integrated pest management (IPM) approach that includes elements of manure management, mass trapping, biological control, and selective insecticide use. Insecticidal control of house flies has become increasingly difficult due to the rapidity with which resistance develops, even to new active ingredients. Global climate change poses additional challenges, as the efficacy of natural enemies is uncertain under the higher temperatures that are predicted to become more commonplace in the future. The two major objectives of this research project were: 1) to develop a cost-effective autodissemination application method of Pyriproxifen (PPF), an insect growth regulator, for controlling house flies; 2) to study the effect of increasing temperatures on the interactions between house flies and their principal natural enemies. First, we collected several wild house fly populations in both countries and established that most of them are susceptible to PPF, although one population in each country showed initial signs of PPF-resistance. An important finding is that the efficacy of PPF is substantially reduced when applied in cows’ manure. We also found that PPF is compatible with several common species of parasitoids that attack the house fly, thus PPF can be used in IPM programs. Next, we tried to develop “baited stations” in which house flies will collect PPF on their bodies and then deliver and deposit it in their oviposition sites (= autodissemination). The concept showed potential in lab experiments and in outdoor cages trials, but under field conditions the station models we tested were not effective enough. We thus tested a somewhat different approach – to actively release a small proportion of PPF-treated flies. This approach showed positive results in laboratory experiments and awaits further field experiments. On the second topic, we performed two experimental sets: 1) we collected house flies and their parasitoids from hot temperature and mild temperature areas in both countries and, by measuring some fitness parameters we tested whether the ones collected from hot areas are better adapted to BARD Report - Project 4701 Page 2 of 16 heat. The results showed very little differences between the populations, both of flies and parasitoids. 2) A “fast evolution” experiment, in which we reared house flies for 20 generations under increasing temperatures. Also here, we found no evidence for heat adaptation. In summary, pyriproxyfen proved to be a highly effective insect growth regulator for house flies that is compatible with it’s natural enemies. Although our autodissemination stations yielded disappointing results, we documented the proportion of flies in a population that must be exposed to PPF to achieve effective fly control. Both the flies and their principal parasitoids show no evidence for local adaptation to high temperatures. This is an encouraging finding for biological control, as our hypothesis was that the fly would be adapting faster to high temperatures than the parasitoids. BARD Report - Project 4701 Page 3 of 16
