Full textAbstract:
Modern urban environments are full of void, underused spaces. But it is these urban voids that are our opportunities to transform and revitalize struggling urban environments. While some brownfields are quickly capped and converted into new places of business, this kind of transformation does little to get rid of the site contamination and a future of concealed complications. On the other hand, if brownfields are converted into park and open space, they then become opportunities for recreation, education and true environmental revitalization. Park users are given the opportunity to learn about the natural environment and how it can be restored and are also able to enjoy the benefits of recreation to improve their social, physical, and mental health. Overall, major economic, social, and environmental benefits are reaped from this kind of redevelopment.The purpose of this project is to explore the benefits of reclaiming an urban brownfield for reviving it through different regenerating strategies. Firstly through the development of a recreational space i.e a park and secondly through a residential area. While exploring these strategies a study of landscape urbanism as a new lens towards revival and study of environmental concerns such as soil remediation technique are involved.

xv, 155 p. : ill. (some col.), maps. A print copy of this thesis is available through the UO Libraries. Search the library catalog for the location and call number.This thesis provides new ways to understand preservation theory and management objectives for industrial heritage sites by analyzing existing mechanisms for their preservation through values and practices associated with cultural landscape preservation. In addition to discussing the theory and development of existing preservation approaches to cultural landscapes and industrial heritage sites, the study identifies characteristics and values aimed at expanding the framework of historic industrial landscape preservation practice. Using case studies of western hard-rock mining landscapes as the primary examples, the study argues that management strategies based on traditional preservation practices are insufficient for interpreting the complexity of these historic places, and that historic industrial landscape preservation is best served by attending to the range of values and processes associated with the historic landscape and its protection.

Montagno, Paul. "Redevelopment of industrial sites on the Susquehanna River Greenway." Virtual Press, 2003. http://liblink.bsu.edu/uhtbin/catkey/1273160.
Full textAbstract:
As one of the initiatives associated with the creation of the Susquehanna River Greenway Corridor in Pennsylvania, new connections will be established between the river, the greenway, and river communities. These connections will be made in an attempt to strengthen and revitalize the river corridor. The connections will be facilitated through a variety of projects ranging from parks or scenic overlooks to large-scale commercial or industrial developments.It was the intention for this creative project to explore ways in which communities along the river could connect to the river and the greenway through the redevelopment of industrial brownfield sites that separated those communities from the river. It was believed that the redevelopments would create links between the communities, the river and the greenway and that these connections would generate enhancement for both the communities and the greenway.In order to make strong connections, the components of these redevelopment projects must be consistent with the existing greenway project. Therefore, the fundamental concepts and goals of the greenway were identified and from those concepts and goals, guidelines were created to help guide industrial redevelopment projects.The major goal of the greenway initiative is to enhance local communities and the Susquehanna River valley as a whole. Concepts for the greenway center on issues of access, the environment, local and regional history, recreation, and economic development.The guidelines that were created based on the greenway concepts are suggestions for techniques communities could use to incorporate these concepts into their redevelopment projects. Some of these suggestions are very specific to industrial brownfield sites. For example, the need for soil and groundwater remediation is identified. Other suggestions are based on general planning techniques that could be used in any development or redevelopment situation along the greenway. The guidelines focus on land use, creating physical and visual connections to the river, transportation and circulation, the incorporation of the historic component, the built and natural environment, and economic development.Attached, as an appendix to this creative project is a proposed plan for the redevelopment of an actual industrial site along the greenway. The plan was created using the guidelines from this project to demonstrate how the guidelines could work in a real situation. The plan includes an complete land use proposal for the site, plan graphics, individual perspective drawings that illustrate character, and explanations of various components or details of the plan meet the goals established in the guidelines.Department of Urban Planning

Green, Jamaal William. "Manufacturing in Place: Industrial Preservation in the US." PDXScholar, 2019. https://pdxscholar.library.pdx.edu/open_access_etds/5138.
Full textAbstract:
In the face of growing economic inequality and population growth, several large cities in the US have started to proactively protect vital industrial lands from conversion to non-industrial uses. These new policies signal a potentially dramatic shift in both land-use and economic development practices.
In the first essay of this dissertation I present a typology of existing industrial land protective policies after reviewing the comprehensive plans and zoning codes of the United States' fifty largest cities. I identify 11 cities with protective policies and highlight the variance of these policies by offering a simple two part typology based upon a city's use of increased usage restrictions or greater process requirements for conversion of protected parcels.
The second essay presents results of a survey I administered to planners exploring the varied ways that planners understand the pressures facing industrial land in their cities and the political contexts they operate within regarding industrial land policy in their respective cities. I find that planners are generally supportive of industrial land protective policies but are ambivalent about the long term viability of industrial labor in cities and face political pressure to convert industrial land to non-industrial uses.
The final essay presents an evaluation of protective land policies. I estimate a propensity score model measuring the change in manufacturing and broader "industrial" employment a the census tract level between 2009 and 2015 using LEHD LODES workplace association data. I estimate the propensity score model using a gradient boosted model and ultimately find a null effect of protective policies on manufacturing and "industrial" job growth.

Esta dissertação analisa o papel da política industrial baseada na concessão de incentivos, sobretudo fiscais, no processo de desconcentração e diversificação da indústria baiana no período compreendido entre 1996 e 2006. O tema ainda não havia sido avaliado de forma sistemática, com base em uma compilação de dados coletados nos protocolos de intenções e em conjunto com a utilização de indicadores próprios da economia regional. A partir de uma pesquisa documental, analisou-se a distribuição regional e setorial das pretensões de investimento no estado, e, através do cálculo dos coeficientes de redistribuição e de reestruturação, buscou-se avaliar as possíveis alterações espaciais e estruturais da indústria estadual. O trabalho está estruturado em um capítulo introdutório, além de mais cinco capítulos. No segundo capítulo, discutem-se alguns conceitos de economia regional, com foco nas teorias de localização industrial e do desenvolvimento econômico. Em seguida, no terceiro capítulo, analisa-se o processo evolutivo da indústria baiana, ressaltando os aspectos conjunturais de cada etapa, com destaque para a política industrial baseada na concessão de incentivos e seus efeitos na economia estadual e no desenvolvimento regional. No quarto capítulo, discutem-se os aspectos metodológicos da pesquisa e, no quinto capítulo, seus principais resultados são apresentados, com a exposição dos dados coletados nos Protocolos de Intenções assinados no período compreendido entre 1996 e 2006, relacionando-os com indicadores econômicos das microrregiões do estado, bem como os resultados referentes aos cálculos dos coeficientes de redistribuição e de reestruturação. As conclusões do trabalho apresentadas no sexto capítulo indicam que, durante o período estudado, a Bahia passou por um tímido processo de reestruturação na sua matriz industrial, bem como uma modesta evolução no processo de desconcentração espacial de sua indústria. Os resultados sugerem ainda que os investimentos nos setores que mais se destacaram poderiam estar relacionados mais a outros condicionantes do que propriamente ao poder indutor da política industrial, estando esta, em sua maioria, atrelada ao aproveitamento de oportunidades e não a um processo estruturado de planejamento que redundasse em uma seleção mais criteriosa dos investimentos a serem atraídos.

O objetivo deste trabalho é identificar, na visão dos empresários e dos dirigentes públicos da Bahia, quais foram os fatores de atração de investimentos industriais feitos no Estado no período de 1993 a 2004. O trabalho está estruturado com um capítulo de abertura no qual é apresentado o propósito do que se vai estudar, além de mais 5 capítulos. No segundo capítulo é abordada a evolução da indústria na Bahia, que é aberta com uma visão panorâmica sobre o seu desenvolvimento, e em seguida faz-se uma revisão resumida do histórico dos principais segmentos industriais do Estado. Em seguida é feita uma revisão da teoria dos fatores locacionais desde as abordagens clássicas até os conceitos modernos, notadamente aqueles formulados por Michael Porter, criando-se, assim, um referencial teórico para a análise da pesquisa com os empresários e das entrevistas com os dirigentes públicos. No quarto capítulo são apresentados os resultados da pesquisa feita junto aos 427 investimentos em novas operações ou ampliações de operações já existentes no período de 1993 a 2004 na Bahia para identificar, na visão dos empresários, os fatores que determinaram tais investimentos. O capítulo quinto aborda a mesma identificação de motivos mas sob a ótica dos dirigentes públicos do Estado no período considerado. As conclusões são apresentadas no sexto e último capítulo do trabalho.

Full textAbstract:
In this study, the occurrence and distribution of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) were investigated via sampling studies conducted around a thermal power plant (Seyitömer, Kü
tahya), a scrap metal yard (Kizilirmak, Kirikkale), transformer repair and maintenance facility (Lake Eymir, Ankara), and two organized industrial districts (izmit and Mersin), and 120 samples composed mainly of sediments were collected from those sites. Total PCBs ranged from not detected to 385 ng/g for all samples. Analysis of samples indicates enrichment of PCBs with special emphasis to sediments collected around the Seyitö
mer thermal power plant. Congener specific results indicate domination of profiles by penta- and hexa-chlorobiphenyls. Overall, the PCB concentrations observed in sampling sites are comparable to the background levels of soil/sediments around the world. To identify relevant pollution sources, congener specific data were further evaluated in the subsequent process of source apportionment using Chemical Mass Balance (CMB) receptor model. A general overview of the source apportionment results indicate that equipments (transformers and capacitors) mainly used in the energy generation/transmission and high energy consuming industries as the major PCB sources. PCBs used in open applications were also predicted as sources depending on site characteristics. Overall, indications of contaminated sites are evident in a number of locations
yet, no major contamination is evident in any media according to the current relevant national regulatory actions. However, findings of this study suggest that, over expanded time exposure, threat to the environment and human health may be of concern.

Full textAbstract:
Over the past two decades, the proliferation of culture-based regenerations of industrial heritage sites has called for the fields of architecture, urban planning, management, aesthetics and policy-making to come together in an effort to design functional programmes that could accommodate a new cognitive and immaterial type of production in buildings formerly intended to house manual labour and manufacturing. Through the analysis of four case studies, the thesis aims at underlining the form-follows-function injunction that guided the conception and construction of factories from the end of the 19th century to the 1940s, while consequently assessing the problematic nature of their cultural transformation. Furthermore, by comparing the different architectural approaches adopted to confront the challenges of redeveloping such disciplinary spaces, the dynamics and needs of industrial as well as creative workers are redirected to their relationship with the built environment and its distribution and aesthetic qualities.

Esta dissertação tem como objetivo verificar o alinhamento entre a Gestão da Competência Técnica praticada na área de Elétrica e Instrumentação em uma refinaria de petróleo de grande porte e o Modelo de Gestão da Competência Técnica construído pelo autor para ser aplicado na Manutenção Industrial. Tal Modelo cresce de importância à medida que se demanda da Função Manutenção um aumento de produtividade e confiabilidade, requisitos indispensáveis na realidade empresarial competitiva atual. Para a construção deste Modelo, buscou-se o referencial teórico na Gestão da Competência e na Gestão do Conhecimento, que veio a culminar em um Modelo que se baseia na interação contínua entre as competências organizacionais e individuais, alinhadas à estratégia, em um processo de aprendizado, levando a uma melhoria da Competência Técnica da organização e de seus funcionários. A área de Elétrica e Instrumentação foi escolhida em função da contínua mudança tecnológica a que é submetida, assim como por sua importância para a continuidade operacional e qualidade dos produtos, representando as demandas atuais da Função Manutenção. Para a verificação da aplicabilidade do Modelo e o alinhamento da Gestão em prática, utilizou-se o método de pesquisa de campo, por meio de aplicação de questionário baseado nos atributos estabelecidos para suas dimensões do Modelo. O resultado obtido é que o Modelo é aplicável à Manutenção Industrial. A análise do alinhamento da gestão em prática levou à identificação de algumas melhorias, com destaque na necessidade de maior capacitação em Gestão de Competências do corpo gerencial na área estudada.

Este trabalho tem como objetivo avaliar as ações de responsabilidade social de empresas integrantes do Pólo Industrial de Camaçari, na Bahia. De forma mais ampla, visa identificar os tipos de ações sociais praticadas pelas organizações do setor privado no Brasil, enfocando a legitimidade dessas ações sob a perspectiva de uma nova postura esperada das empresas em relação à realidade social na qual ela está inserida. Discute os conceitos relacionados com o tema da responsabilidade social, levantando a reflexão sobre suas implicações, origens e, sobretudo, sobre sua perspectiva legitimamente transformadora. Procura identificar os modelos de ações sociais praticados e sua relação com os conceitos consolidados sobre o tema. O estudo é de natureza essencialmente qualitativa, utilizando como amostra as empresas mais representativas do Pólo Industrial de Camaçari, cuja maioria da empresas é do setor químico e petroquímico, e apoiando-se em dados básicos fornecidos por essas empresas. Entre as conclusões, destaca-se a crescente adesão das empresas em programas de responsabilidade social, porém com focos, concepções e objetivos diversos, o que confirma a amplitude e imprecisão conceitual do tema, bem como dificulta a inferência sobre os reais propósitos dessas ações sociais. Além disso, algumas necessidades de desenvolvimento nos projetos sociais foram identificadas, as quais poderiam potencializar as atuais e futuras ações de responsabilidade sociais.

Full textAbstract:
With a rapidly changing environment of industrial safety legislation in New Zealand, all of the country's process industries will be required to appraise the hazards on their sites by 1993. Currently, overseas techniques are available, but their complexity, expense and data requirements make them inappropriate for most New Zealand industry. In this project, a methodology for hazard appraisal was designed to analyse and quantify hazards on process sites. The methodology was then encoded into software for ease of application. To be useful for the wide range of New Zealand industry, the software had to be easy to use, able to run using a minimum of crude data and able to run on inexpensive hardware.
The software was produced and found to give valid results from the crude data used. When its results were compared to those from an analysis using an internationally recognised method, they were found to be within the limits of expectation, considering the fundamental differences in approach. While the internationally accepted method was seen to be more reliable, the project method was found to give realistic rankings, that would be useful to a wide range of New Zealand Industry. The method of rapid ranking used would highlight potentially hazardous areas on a site and help raise the awareness of industrial hazards in the users of the method. There were several modifications specified, whose application to the project software would improve the quality of results.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The corporate web site is essential to companies who use the Internet for e-commerce purposes. For these companies, the web site is the platform used to communicate with customers and facilitate business transactions. Internet companies will not be able to do business successfully with an ineffective web site, because this implies that the only contact point that the company has with customers is not functioning properly. It is, however, extremely difficult to identify what an effective e-commerce web site constitutes of. A great need therefore exists for a comprehensive and accurate method to evaluate the performance of the web sites of Internet companies, not only individually but also in comparison with the web sites of other companies in the same industry. Managers of Internet companies would certainly like to know how their web sites perform, what they can do to increase their performance, and which web sites in their industry can be used as a benchmark in certain areas. This thesis aims to address these needs by fulfilling three objectives: ► To develop a framework and criteria for the comprehensive evaluation of e-commerce web sites. ► To use this framework and sound statistical reasoning to develop a method that can be used to evaluate e-commerce web sites quantitively, and represent the results graphically per industry. ► To implement this method by developing computer software that enables users to evaluate web sites and plot the results. To accomplish these objectives, the following methodology was followed: ► Review the research done in the field of web site evaluation for both general and e-commerce web sites. ► Review the research on different techniques in the field of Multidimensional Scaling, and identify an appropriate technique for developing two-dimensional plots of web site evaluation data. ► Expand the web site evaluation research and develop a framework and objective criteria for the evaluation of e-commerce web sites, based on solid business principles. ► Develop a method to gather web site evaluation data that is grouped within industries, and to represent the results graphically using an appropriate Multidimensional Scaling technique. ► Implement the method by developing computer software to automate the process. This document describes the course of the methodology in detail. It reports on the e-commerce web site evaluation framework that was developed; Correspondence Analysis as the Multidimensional Scaling technique used to analyse the evaluation data; the development of the e-commerce web site evaluation method; and the software that was developed in Microsoft Visual Basic to implement the evaluation method. All three objectives were fulfilled in this thesis, in spite of some concerns that are also discussed. The evaluation framework and accompanying software can be used to evaluate all aspects of e-commerce web sites, and the output can be used to draw meaningful conclusions about how these sites can be improved.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die korporatiewe webwerf is onontbeerlik vir maatskappye wat die Internet vir e-handel doeleindes gebruik. Die webwerf is vir hierdie maatskappye die platform wat gebruik word om met kliente te kommunikeer en om saketransaksies te fasiliteer. Internetmaatskappye sal nie in staat wees om suksesvol sake te doen as hulle webwerwe oneffekti'ef is nie, omdat dit sal impliseer dat die enigste raakpunt wat die maatskappy met kliente het, nie behoorlik funksioneer nie. Tog is dit moeilik om te identifiseer waaruit 'n effektiewe e-handel webwerf bestaan. Daar is dus 'n groot behoefte aan 'n omvattende en akkurate metode waarvolgens die werkverrigting van die webwerwe van Internetmaatskappye geevalueer kan word, nie net individueel nie, maar ook in vergelyking met die webwerwe van ander maatskappye in dieselfde industrie. Bestuurders van Internetmaatskappye sal beslis wil weet hoe goed hulle webwerwe funksioneer, wat hulle kan doen om die werkverrigting van webwerwe te verbeter, en watter webwerwe in hulle industrie as uitstaande voorbeelde in sekere areas kan dien. Hierdie tesis spreek die bogenoemde behoeftes aan deur drie doelstellings uit te voer: ► Om 'n raamwerk en kriteria vir die omvattende evaluasie van e-handel webwerwe te ontwikkel. ► Om hierdie raamwerk en gegronde statistiese beredenering te gebruik ten einde 'n metode te ontwikkel wat gebruik kan word om e-handel webwerwe kwantitatief te evalueer, en om die resultate grafies per industrie uit te beeld. ► Om hierdie metode te implementeer deur rekenaarprogrammatuur te ontwikkel wat gebruikers in staat stel om webwerwe te evalueer en die resultate te plot. Die volgende metodologie is gevolg om hierdie doelstellings te laat slaag: ► Bestudeer die navorsing gedoen in die veld van webwerf evaluasie van sowel algemene as e-handel webwerwe. ► Bestudeer die navorsing oor verskillende tegnieke in die veld van Multidimensionele Gradering (Multidimensional Scaling), en identifiseer 'n toepaslike tegniek vir die ontwikkeling van tweedimensionele grafiese voorstellings van webwerf evaluasiedata. ► Brei die webwerf evaluasienavorsing uit en ontwikkel 'n raamwerk en objektiewe kriteria vir die evaluering van e-handel webwerwe, gebaseer op stewige sakebeginsels. ► Ontwikkel 'n metode om webwerf evaluasiedata te versamel wat in industriee gegroepeer is, en stel hierdie resultate grafies voor deur die gebruik van 'n toepaslike Multidimensionele Graderingstegniek. ► Implementeer die metode deur die ontwikkeling van rekenaarprogrammatuur om die proses te outomatiseer. Hierdie dokument beskryf die verloop van die metodologie in detail. Dit lewer verslag oor die e-handel webwerf evaluasieraamwerk wat ontwikkel is; Assosiasie-analise {Correspondence Analysis) as die Multidimensionele Graderingstegniek wat gebruik is om die evaluasie-data te analiseer; die ontwikkeling van die e-handel webwerf evaluasiemetode; en die programmatuur wat ontwikkel is in Microsoft Visual Basic om die evaluasiemetode te implementeer. Al drie doelstellings is in hierdie tesis bereik, ten spyte van sommige probleme—wat ook bespreek word. Die evaluasieraamwerk en meegaande programmatuur kan gebruik word om alle aspekte van e-handel webwerwe te evalueer, en die resultate kan gebruik word om betekenisvolle gevolgtrekkings te maak oor die wyse waarop hierdie webwerwe verbeter kan word.

Full textAbstract:
This study has examined opportunities for reclaiming industrial brownfield sites for the communities that surround them, recreating derelict sites as community-oriented spaces that increase understanding of and restore pride in industrial and cultural heritage.The study consisted of two primary components. The first phase consists primarily of an exploration of the linkages between landscape/urban design and industrial heritage. This phase also examines and evaluates various design projects that have attempted to celebrate industrial heritage through the adaptive re-use of former industrial sites. The second phase of the study consists of the development of a master plan for the transformation of a derelict industrial site to a community space that interprets and celebrates industrial heritage. This phase includes researching the industrial heritage of Muncie, selecting an appropriate project site within the city, and developing a master plan for the reclamation of an industrial site by the community.A layered design strategy was developed for the selected site, with the end result being a master plan for a new public park. The three elements of the design strategy included industrial heritage, adaptive reuse, and improvements in the surrounding community.Department of Landscape Architecture

Com as mudanças ocorridas no mercado econômico do Brasil e do Mundo, as empresas buscaram novas estratégias de gestão que garantissem a sua continuidade no mercado de forma competitiva. A terceirização surgiu como alternativa concreta ao atingimento dos intentos organizacionais. Ao descentralizar as atividades, os processos de terceirização procuraram obter redução dos custos, focalização na atividade fim e aumento de produtividade. Se inicialmente apenas as atividades de apoio foram terceirizadas, com o tempo esta prática foi se expandindo para diversas outras áreas, inclusive ligadas à atividade-fim da empresa, tal como a manutenção. Utilizando como instrumental teórico aspectos ligados a terceirização, as teorias de Economia dos Custos de Transação, isomorfismo organizacional e modismo gerencial, este trabalho analisa a terceirização das atividades de manutenção e os modelos de contratos existentes. Por se tratar de um estudo de caso, foi avaliado o processo de terceirização da Caraíba Metais, onde diversas atividades são terceirizadas, mas, em 2004, foi iniciado um processo de reintegração vertical de algumas destas atividades, o que apresenta um indício de insatisfação com a prática da terceirização nesta empresa. Como complementação, foi analisado, também, como ocorreu a implantação deste recuo da terceirização das atividades de manutenção, e comparado este processo com o utilizado na implantação da terceirização. O estudo da reintegração das atividades de manutenção industrial foi iniciado com a apresentação do papel da manutenção no processo produtivo e do impacto desta atividade nos custos de transação. O estudo empírico permitiu que se concluísse que o insucesso do processo de terceirização decorreu da falta de planejamento, da busca apenas pela redução imediata de custo, do alto custo da transação e da estrutura inadequada de contrato adotada pela empresa. O resultado obtido indica também que no recuo da terceirização, a busca por um retorno em curto prazo, pode estar induzindo a empresa a alguns erros semelhantes aos cometidos anteriormente.

O principal objetivo desta dissertação é discutir a aderência de uma metodologia para atingir a melhoria do desempenho organizacional, o Lean Six Sigma, a uma organização em fase inicial de implementação dessa metodologia. A organização em questão é a Unidade Industrial Nordeste da Xerox (XNOR), localizada em Simões Filho, Bahia. As perspectivas e riscos futuros e a análise dos ambientes interno e externo da organização com vistas ao processo de implementação da metodologia são analisados ao longo do trabalho. O Lean Six Sigma representa uma abordagem integrada de duas metodologias que se desenvolveram e podem ser utilizadas de forma individual, Six Sigma e Lean. Entretanto as vantagens da implementação integrada das duas abordagens têm se mostrado bastante significativas. Este trabalho representa um estudo teórico-empírico, onde a fase empírica é desenvolvida através de uma pesquisa realizada no segundo semestre de 2004 entre as pessoas potencialmente mais envolvidas no processo de implementação, contando ainda com a observação participante do autor do trabalho e da análise dos documentos emitidos pela organização sobre o tema. O modelo de análise desenvolvido apresenta elementos do Lean Six Sigma, do Balanced Scorecard e da abordagem SWOT. A pesquisa indica que o estado potencial da XNOR é favorável à implementação da metodologia Lean Six Sigma, levando em conta a percepção dos entrevistados, divididos em três grupos de acordo com sua posição na organização e o grau de aprofundamento no conhecimento da metodologia. Além disso, são apresentadas conclusões e recomendações que podem sugerir à organização formas de consolidar a implementação da metodologia Lean Six Sigma e através desse processo atingir seus objetivos estratégicos.

Full textAbstract:
Rocks of the South Island of New Zealand are locally enriched in metalloids, namely arsenic (As), antimony (Sb) and boron (B). Elevated levels of As and Sb can be found in sulphide minerals mostly in association with mesothermal gold deposits, whereas B enrichment occurs in marine influenced coal deposits. The mobility of these metalloids is important because they can be toxic at relatively low levels (e.g. for humans >0.01 mg/L of As). Their mobilisation occurs naturally from background weathering of the bedrock. However, mining and processing of coal and gold deposits, New Zealand's most economically important commodities, can significantly increase metalloid mobility. In particular, historic mines and associated industrial sites are known to generate elevated metalloid levels because of the lack of site remediation upon closure. This work defines and quantifies geological, mining, post-mining and regional processes with respect to metalloid, especially As, mobility.
At the studied historic gold mines, the Blackwater and Bullendale mines, Sb levels in mineralised rocks were generally negligible (<14 ppm) compared to As (up to 10,000 ppm). Thus, Sb concentrations in solids and in water were too low to yield any meaningful information on Sb mobility. In contrast, dissolved As concentrations downstream from mine sites were found to be very high (up to 59 mg/L) (background = 10⁻� mg/L). In addition, very high As concentrations were found in residues (up to 40 wt%) and site substrate (up to 30 wt%) at the Blackwater processing sites (background < 0.05 wt%). Here, roasting of the gold ore converted the orginal As mineral, arsenopyrite, into the mineral arsenolite (As[III] trioxide polymorph) and volatilised the sulphur. The resultant sulphur-defficient chemical system is driven by arsenolite dissolution and differs significantly from mine sites where arsenopyrite is the main As source.
Arsenolite is significantly more soluble than arsenopyrite. In the surficial environment, arsenolite dissolution is limited by kinetics only, which are slow enough to preserve exposed arsenolite over decades in a temperate, wet climate. This process results in surface waters with up to ca. 50 mg/L dissolved As. In reducing conditions, dissolved As concentrations are also controlled by the solubility of arsenolite producing As concentrations up to 330 mg/L.
Field based cathodic stripping voltammetry showed that the As[III]/As[V] redox couple, in particular the oxidation of As[III], has a major control on system pH and Eh. Site acidification is mainly caused by the oxidation of As[III], resulting in a close link between As[V] concentrations and pH. Similarly, a strong correlation between calculated (Nernstian) and measured (electrode) Eh was found in the surface environment, suggesting that the overall Eh of the system is, indeed, defined by the As[III]/As[V] redox couple.
Once the metalloid is mobilised from its original source, its mobility is controlled by at least one of the following attenuation processes: (a) precipitation of secondary metalloid minerals, (b) co-precipitation with - or adsorption to - iron oxyhydroxide (HFO), or (c) dilution with background waters. The precipitation of secondary minerals is most favoured in the case of As due to the relatively low solubility of iron arsenates, especially at low pH (~0.1 mg/L). Observations suggest that scorodite can be the precursor phase to more stable iron arsenates, such as kankite, zykaite, bukovskyite or pharmacosiderite and their stability is mainly controlled by pH, sulphur concentrations and moisture prevalence. Empirical evidence indicates that the sulphur-containing minerals zykaite and bukovskyite have a similar pH dependence to scorodite with solubilities slightly lower than scorodite and kankite. If dissolved As concentrations decline, iron arsenates potentially become unstable. Their dissolution maintains a pH between 2.5 and 3.5. This acidification process is pivotal with respect to As mobility, especially in the absence of other acidification processes, because iron arsenates are several orders of magnitude more soluble in circum-neutral pH regimes (~100 mg/L). From this, it becomes apparent that external pH modifications, for example as part of a remediation scheme, can significantly increase iron arsenate solubility and resultant As mobility. In contrast to As, the precipitation of secondary Sb and B minerals is limited by their high solubilities, which are several orders of magnitude higher than for iron arsenates. Thus, secondary Sb and B minerals are restricted to evaporative waters, from which they can easily re-mobilised during rain events.
Metalloid adsorption to HFO is mainly controlled or limited by the extent of HFO formation, which in turn is governed by the availability of Fe and prevailing Eh-pH conditions. Thus, mineralisation styles and associated geochemical gradients, in particular pyrite abundance, can control the amount of HFO and consequent metalloid attenuation, and these can vary even within the same goldfleld. Furthermore, it was found that there is a mineralogical gradation between ferrihydrite with varying amounts of adsorbed As, amorphous iron arsenates and crystalline iron arsenates, suggesting that the maturity of mine waste is an important factor in As mineralogy.
Once dissolved metalloids enter the hydrosphere, dilution is the main control on metalloid attenuation, which is especially pronounced at the inflow of tributaries. Dilution is, therefore, closely related to the size and frequency of these tributaries, which in turn are controlled by the regional topography and climate. Dilution is a considerably less effective attenuation mechanism and anomalous metalloid concentrations from mining related sites can persist for over 10 km downstream.
The complex and often inter-dependent controls on metalloid mobility mean that management decisions should carefully consider the specific site geochemistry to minimize economic, health and environmental risks that can not be afforded.
On a regional scale, background metalloid flux determines the downstream impact of an anomalous metalloid source upstream. For example, the Bullendale mine is located in a mountainous region, where rapidly eroding slopes expose fresh rock and limit the extent of soil cover and chemical weathering. Consequently, the background As flux is relatively low and As point sources, such as the Bullendale mine, present a significant contribution to the downstream As flux. In contrast, the bedrock at the Blackwater mine has undergone deep chemical weathering, resulting in an increased background mobilisation of As. Thus, the Prohibition mill site discharge, for example, contributes only about 10% to the downstream As flux. This information is relevant to site management decisions because the amount of natural background metalloid mobilisation determines whether site remediation will influence downstream metalloid chemistry on a regional scale.

Esta dissertação tem por objetivo identificar relações entre elementos de pressão do contexto em que a empresa Millennium Inorganic Chemicals do Brasil S.A. (MIC-BA) está inserida e suas práticas de responsabilidade social empresarial, sobretudo no relacionamento com comunidades circunvizinhas à fábrica, localizada em área litorânea do estado da Bahia, junto ao Pólo industrial de Camaçari. Em abordagem longitudinal, são resgatados elementos do contexto global, nacional e local e características da indústria química, identificando sua relação com práticas adotadas pela empresa, especialmente no que se refere a sua interação com comunidades circunvizinhas à fábrica em Camaçari, além de aspectos relativos a meio ambiente, público interno, governo e sociedade, em quatro períodos, desde sua instalação, em 1971, até 2008. Para esta análise, são explorados conceitos, modelos e indicadores que permitem analisar o desempenho empresarial no que se refere à responsabilidade social. Entre eles, destacam-se o modelo Estrutura-Conduta-Performance Social (ECP-Social), desenvolvido por Pasa (2004) e os Indicadores Ethos de Responsabilidade Social Empresarial. A estratégia de pesquisa utilizada foi o estudo de caso único exploratório, essencialmente qualitativo, com procedimentos metodológicos que incluíram análise documental, entrevistas, elementos de observação participante e de observação direta. A partir dos dados e resultados obtidos, conclui-se que, entre os fatores que se destacam por sua influência sobre a natureza das práticas empresariais da organização, no período analisado, sob a perspectiva da responsabilidade social, estão: práticas de gestão definidas pelos controladores acionários, de acordo com sua origem; perfil dos gestores dedicados às relações com comunidades; pressões governamentais, sociais e da mídia local; mudanças na legislação sobre as questões ambientais; bem como mudanças na percepção da sociedade sobre as responsabilidades que devem caber às empresas na atualidade.

China is a nation evolving through post-industrialization towards a cultural and innovation based society. In turn, its urban form is grappling with a number of preserved industrial heritage sites in major urban centers such as Beijing and Shanghai. The People's Republic of China has implemented policy through a culture-led approach in preservation and reuse, resulting in artist communities, museums, and creative offices. However, these sites have either become artifacts frozen in time or heavily commercialized tourist attractions that threaten to displace the creativity within. This thesis investigates alternative approaches to preservation and reuse of these sites, especially how to integrate 21st century productive uses as a means of urban regeneration. The spirit of industriousness can be preserved within these sites by allowing new productive activities to occur. There is potential to bring high-tech industries into these sites which can benefit from the existing creative environment while increasing longterm economic viability and promote innovation. Collaboration is needed between the government and private developers to control the development direction of the site while allowing flexibility for innovative solutions. Opportunities exist in industrial heritage sites in major Chinese cities today that can bring them back into the life of the city.

A presente dissertação busca elucidar a seguinte questão: ““Quais os resultados verificáveis da Política Industrial, Tecnológica e de Comércio Exterior - PITCE sobre a intensidade tecnológica das exportações brasileiras nos anos 2000?” Essa pergunta surge no bojo de uma série de fatores que se apresentaram ao longo da primeira década deste século: o acirramento da crítica mundial ao ideário neoliberal após as sucessivas crises econômicas da década de 1990; uma “guinada a esquerda”, principalmente na América Latina, com destaque para a eleição do Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, em 2002; o lançamento, no início do primeiro mandado do presidente Lula, da Política Industrial, Tecnológica e de Comércio Exterior (PITCE); o sucessivo esforço de vários acadêmicos no sentido de resgatar e atualizar o legado desenvolvimentista que marcou o período de 1930 a 1980, no Brasil, etc. A retomada das discussões em torno de uma presença mais relevante do Estado na economia despertou o interesse de olhar para um lado até então pouco considerado nas discussões eminentemente econômicas das releituras desenvolvimentistas: o lado sócio-político. Nesse sentido, questões como a resiliência patrimonialista, a balcanização do Estado e a captura das políticas públicas por grupos de interesse voltam a ter importância em um contexto de ampliação da presença do Estado na economia. Diante das oportunidades trazidas por uma nova política industrial com foco na inovação e na intensidade tecnológica da produção nacional e dos riscos dos velhos problemas brasileiros obstaculizarem a consecução dos objetivos dessa nova política é que se coloca o presente estudo. Sua intenção é tentar identificar, por um lado, evidências empíricas de um melhor desempenho em termos de intensificação tecnológica da nossa pauta de exportações ao longo do período de vigência da PITCE (2004-2008), e, de outro, evidências heurísticas que permitam correlacionar, ainda que sem uma certeza estatística, os eventuais resultados positivos encontrados e as medidas vinculadas à PITCE.

The U.S. construction industry continues to rank as one of the most dangerous work environments when compared to other industrial sectors. Construction companies are required to record and report lagging safety leading indicators including fatalities, injuries, and illnesses. Safety leading indicators provide an opportunity to identify construction site hazards and hazardous worker behavior before a fatality, injury, or illness occurs. Further improvements are also necessary for construction safety through the use of technology. The application of advanced or emerging technologies can have a significant role in enhancing construction worker safety performance. This research seeks to report and analyze safety leading indicators, specifically near misses. Furthermore, technologies capable of providing alerts in real-time to construction equipment operators and ground workers during hazardous proximity situations are reviewed. A testing method for proximity detection and alert devices for the construction environment is presented. Operator visibility, including impacts of design components, is also measured and analyzed. One major contribution of this research is the creation of a near miss reporting program ready for implementation for construction companies. Other research contributions include understanding of impacts of design on operator visibility, scientific evaluation data of proximity sensing technology, and a test method for proximity detection and alert system deployed in the construction environment. Research findings can be disseminated for improved construction worker safety education and training.

Most property development firms who invest in property will need to raise some extra financial support. Unforeseen or unexpected expenses can arise at any point in time during the development process. Calculated decisions should be taken with regards to the financial circumstances for any property development project. Decisions should be taken not only for the present but for the future as well. It is therefore important to understand the market and the current economic conditions before applying for capital to fund a property development project. There several types of finance available to fund property development, these include long term borrowing, short term borrowing, construction loans property development investment trust, second mortgages. There is risk to all of the aforementioned finance available.

Full textAbstract:
Integrated geophysical, geochemical and hydrogeological modelling techniques have been used in this PhD research study to characterise the ground contamination at four study sites. The primary aim of the research is to study the efficiency of using an integrated approach to study hydrocarbon and heavy metal contamination in the subsurface soil, geology and groundwater systems. Each of the four sites have different industrial legacies (hence types of contamination) and periods of operation. The sites in increasing age are: Bromsgrove landfill, Cathays Railway Depot, Barry Docks and Weston-Super-Mare gasworks. The geophysical methods used in this study are Electrical Resistivity imaging (IRIS) and multifrequency ground conductivity (Gem-2). These techniques can map the electrical properties of the sub-surface in both 2D and 3D. The electrical properties are then compared with independent professional geochemical sampling programmes for both soil and groundwater. The results of this project show that the geophysical methods provide a clear indication of the zones of ground contamination (hydrocarbons and heavy metals) in both 2D and 3D. Electrical resistivity/conductivity mapping using both independent techniques show consistent results. The geophysical results also show a good correlation with the geochemical sampling programmes for soil, water and gas. The results are encouraging in that geophysics could be used more widely in professional contaminated land site investigations to supplement conventional invasive techniques and sampling programmes. The research has also investigated whether geophysical parameters such as electrical conductivity could be used as a groundwater modelling parameter in the Visual Modflow software. The advantage being that geophysics can provide a high intensity of data in 3D and even temporal 4D at a site. The geophysical results can define an accurate spatial distribution of the contaminated area. This can be used to assign a ‘concentration recharge’ in the modelling compared to the normal practice of using chemical data from a small number of discrete sampling points. However this approach will still require chemical data for validation.

Full textAbstract:
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has become a large concern for many companies with the rise of globalization. Oftentimes, companies are encouraged to communicate CSR externally, but not internally. This research focuses upon the internal communication of CSR, specifically how Human Resource (HR) professionals use electronic channels to communicate to employees. The scope of this research is focused solely upon HR professionals within Solvay’s French industrial sites, which produce chemicals. This research utilizes a case study to answer the research questions, which are how HR professionals electronically communicate CSR to employees, and what limitations may arise from this. Five HR Managers were interviewed from different French industrial sites. This research found that electronic channels are used as a complementary method of communication within industrial sites. HR professionals communicate to employees in two ways: directly or indirectly through an intermediary. To provide more clarity to the research problem, an electronic communication model was developed specifically for industrial sites. This model provides a framework for how HR professionals communicate CSR to employees, along with the limitations of this form of communication within industrial sites.

Full textAbstract:
La réhabilitation des friches industrielles dans les zones urbaines est un enjeu majeur pour le développement durable des villes. La gestion et la reconversion de ces sites, imposées par la réglementation, nécessitent toutefois le développement d’outils d’évaluation des risques environnementaux et sanitaires, et de techniques de remédiation durables. Cette thèse a porté sur la mise en place d’outils multidisciplinaires pour la gestion durable des sites pollués, avec le cas particulier d’un site de recyclage de batteries au plomb caractérisé par une pollution historique en plomb principalement mais également d’autres polluants inorganiques (Cd, Sb, As, Cu et Zn), couramment définis par le terme d’Eléments Traces Métalliques (ETM). Ce travail a cherché à renseigner les mécanismes impliqués dans les systèmes polluants-sol-plantes pour renforcer la prise en compte de la qualité globale des sols dans la gestion des sites industriels, tout en essayant de répondre à des questions de la recherche appliquée. En plus des outils et procédures classiquement utilisés pour évaluer, contrôler et réduire les risques environnementaux et sanitaires causés par les sols pollués, le développement des mesures de biodisponibilité (plantes et les humains) et d’écotoxicité (différents tests biologiques: inhibition de la mobilité de daphnies, Microtox® et induction de bactéries bioluminescentes, microbiologie) permet d’affiner la classification des sols contaminés en termes de dangerosité. De plus, des plantes engrais verts (bourrache, phacélie et moutarde), communément utilisées en agriculture ou par les jardiniers (car elles améliorent les propriétés bio-physico-chimiques des sols avec un système racinaire et une grande production d’exsudats racinaires), ont été testées pour la re-fonctionnalisation des sols pollués. Enfin, les mécanismes impliqués dans le devenir des polluants dans la rhizosphère et les microorganismes associés ont été étudiés. L’ensemble des résultats fourni des éléments de réponse et des moyens d’améliorer la gestion des sols contaminés par des métaux et métalloïdes. (1) Tout d’abord, la séparation par taille des différentes fractions de sol permet une réduction significative des tonnages de matériaux contaminés et donc une économie réelle lors de la mise en décharge des sols excavés avec un gain certain en termes d’empreinte écologique. (2) Ensuite, le calcul d’écoscores pour les differents échantillons de sols pollués, sur la base des résultats des essais d’écotoxicité, ont permis d’affiner plus précisemment les risques par rapport aux paramètres physico-chimiques « classiques » requis par la réglementation. Des différences de sensibilité ont été observées en fonction de la nature de l’essai biologique, l’origine de l’échantillon, les propriétés physico-chimiques et les concentrations totales de polluants. (3) Contrairement à la phacélie, la bourrache et la moutarde ont amélioré la respiration du sol, réduit l’écotoxicité et la quantité de plomb bioaccessible et totale dans le sol, respectivement par phytostabilisation et stockage dans les racines (Pb, Sb) ou par phytoextraction et donc stockage dans les parties aériennes. En outre, ces plantes pourraient être testées sur le terrain pour une utilisation en phytoremédiation des friches industrielles et des jardins modérément pollués. Selon la nature du métal, du type de sol et des plantes, la compartimentation et la spéciation du polluant diffèrent, ainsi qu’en fonction des caractéristiques agronomiques du sol et l’activité microbienne de la rhizosphère. Un criblage moléculaire et une méta-analyse de la génomique microbienne ont permis de mettre en évidence les différences dans les communautés bactériennes étudiées en fonction du niveau de concentration métallique, des espèces végétales et des caractéristiques des sols étudiésRehabilitation of brownfields in urban areas is a major challenge for the sustainable development of cities. Management and conversion of these sites, imposed by regulation, however, require the development of tools for environmental risk assessment and health and sustainable remediation techniques. This thesis focused on the establishment of multidisciplinary tools for the sustainable management of polluted site, with the particular case of rehabilitation recycling of lead batteries with a mainly historical lead pollution and other inorganic pollutants (Cd, Sb, As, Cu and Zn), currently defined as Metal Trace Elements (MTE). While trying to answer questions of applied research, this work has sought to investigate the mechanisms involved in the soil-plant pollutants to strengthen the consideration of the overall quality of soil management for industrial sites. In addition to the tools and procedures conventionally used to assess, control and reduce environmental and health risks caused by polluted soils; measures of bioavailability (plants and humans) and ecotoxicity (different bioassays: inhibition of the mobility of Daphnia magna, Microtox® and induction of bioluminescent bacteria and microbiology) have been developed with the aim to refine the classification of contaminated soils in terms of dangerousness. Moreover, green manure plants (borage, phacelia and mustard), commonly used in agriculture or by gardeners because they improve the bio-physico-chemical properties of soils with a root system and a large production of root exudates were tested for re-functionalization of polluted soils. Finally, the mechanisms involved in the fate of pollutants in the rhizosphere and their microorganisms in the plant were studied. The main results provide some answers and ways of improving the management of soils contaminated by metals and metalloids. (1) First, the size separation for soil fractions allows a significant reduction in tonnages of contaminated material and therefore costs for the landfill excavated soil with a gain result in terms of ecological footprint. (2) Then, calculation for the differents polluted soil samples of eco-scores based on the results of ecotoxicity tests can discriminate more accurately compared to physicochemical parameters required by the regulations. Differences in sensitivity were observed depending on the nature of the bioassay, the origin of the sample, physico-chemical properties and total concentrations of pollutants. (3) Unlike phacelia, borage and mustard improve soil respiration, ecotoxicity and reduce theamount of bioaccessible and total lead in soil, respectively by phytostabilisation and storage in roots (Pb, Sb) or phytoextraction and storage in aerial parts. Further, these plants could be field tested for use in phytoremediation of brownfields and gardens moderately polluted. Depending on the nature of the metal, the type of soil and plant, compartmentalization and speciation of the pollutant differ, and in conjunction with agronomic characteristics of soil and rhizosphere microbial activity. Molecular screening and meta-analysis of microbial genomics have enabled highlight differences in bacterial communities studied by species and growing conditions
