Wu, Siyuan. "Investigating Lighting Quality: Examining the Relationship between Perceived Safety and Pedestrian Lighting Environment." Thesis, Virginia Tech, 2014. http://hdl.handle.net/10919/48170.
Full textAbstract:
Pedestrian lighting design is a very important part of urban lighting design. Appropriately designed pedestrian lighting can provide people with sense of safety and improve their quality of life. However, the exploration of people's needs and perceptions of pedestrian lighting is neglected. Most of the existing design guidelines are generated from designer centered perspectives.
This study aims at creating new perspectives in pedestrian lighting study. In this study, lighting quality is investigated through a behavioral science approach by examining the relationship between the lighting attributes and people's perceived safety. Primary research objectives include identifying important attributes of the lighting environment, examining their influence on people's perceived safety, and exploring the impacts of pedestrian's individual characteristics in this perceptual process. In order to fulfill the research objectives, this thesis comprises an online survey that aims to discover the environmental perceptions of the people from Virginia Tech towards the nighttime pedestrian footpath scenes of the campus.
The findings from the online survey indicate that important lighting attributes influencing people's perceived safety are identified as: uniformity, facial recognition, concealment and perceived brightness. The findings further indicate that some environmental context attributes, environmental perception attributes, and socio-demographic attributes also significantly influence people's perceived safety. Several design guidelines are provided for future lighting design practice.Master of Landscape Architecture

Thesis (MBA) -- Stellenbosch University, 2011.A company’s primary goal is to make money. Simple as it may seem, this is not always easily achieved, and sustainability of the business may be a serious challenge. In an effort to make a profit, important aspects of safety, health, environment and quality (SHEQ) may sometimes be neglected. Some small and medium-sized enterprises (SME) merely do not have the understanding or the capacity to address all the important aspects of SHEQ, thereby placing the company under potential financial and legal risks. A survey was conducted in SMEs based in the Durban area to ascertain their level of legislative and voluntary system standard awareness and implementation. The questionnaire responses indicated that general awareness of legislation such as the Occupational Health and Safety Act, the Compensation for Occupational Injuries and Diseases Act, the National Environmental Management Act and voluntary system standards such as ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001 was relatively good, on the whole. However, implementation of the mandatory environmental requirements associated with the National Environmental Management Act was low, as was the implementation of the voluntary standards. Management and implementation of SHEQ responsibilities and requirement in larger organisations may be divided amongst various discipline specialists. However, in the SME these various disciplines may be the responsibility of one person, and often this person is the managing director. As such, this individual may not always have adequate time or understanding of the legal requirements of SHEQ aspects. There may also be a lack of understanding of the potential cost implications in not managing SHEQ aspects, and similarly budgeting requirements of managing SHEQ aspects appropriately. This research report introduces and summarises key SHEQ legislation and voluntary management system standards, such as the Occupational Health and Safety Act, the National Environmental Management Act, local bylaws, and introduces the ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001. Since some characteristics of the disciplines of health and safety, environment and quality may overlap, combining these into an integrated management system has merit. Such an integrated system can save the company time and money. This research report reviews some pertinent business requirements associated with SHEQ and presents an integrated management system guideline for the SME business owner. Business management, today, needs to learn from past business management developments. Successful and sustainable business management is not only about making a profit, but also incorporates a significant human resource management focus, health and safety assurance, the mitigation of potential environmental impacts from operations, whilst ensuring that quality standards of products and services are competitive.

Full textAbstract:
The work peruses a study and analysis of integrated management system in the two basic chapters. The first chapter introduction informs the reader about definitions that describe the IMS term the best. An adumbration of developments in approach to quality, environment and the labour safety and protection follows. One part of the work pays attention to developments in numbers of certifications in the Czech Republic and world-wide to show popularity of the IMS as a certificate able instrument. The theoretic part consists of a listing of brief properties of actual standardisation documents valid in the Czech Republic. The most important documents in each area builds so-called criteria standards thus standards defining requests to introduce and maintain the systems properly. Wide part of the work is dedicated to interpretation of such criteria standards. The first part conclusion deals in a method that is a base and resource for the part two. The second part contains characteristics of two analysed companies, description of individual areas using defined criteria and collected information evaluation. The work has been set up on a base of studying lot of information and documents both in electronic and hard copy versions. All of them have been collected from public sources and from said companies in a direct personal cooperation and communication.

Natafgi, Nabil M. "Improving care delivery in critical access hospitals: evaluating the quality environment and the 'critical' role of telemedicine on access and costs." Diss., University of Iowa, 2017. https://ir.uiowa.edu/etd/5577.
Full textAbstract:
Critical Access Hospitals (CAHs) – the predominant type of hospital operating in rural areas – play an integral role in the US healthcare system, providing care for over 7 million rural residents each year who might otherwise have no local access to urgent care or inpatient services. This dissertation examines three aspects of care delivery in CAHs – effectiveness, cost/efficiency, and access – each of which has separate implications for policy and practice.
The first study addresses effectiveness and evaluates the performance of CAHs on specific patient safety indicators compared to small Prospective Payment System (PPS) hospitals. A total of 35,674 discharges from 136 non-federal general hospitals with fewer than 50 beds were included in the analyses: 14,296 from 100 CAHs and 21,378 from 36 PPS hospitals. Outcome measures included six bivariate indicators of adverse events of surgical care that were developed from Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality Patient Safety Indicators. Multiple logistic regression models were developed to examine the relationship between hospital adverse events and CAH status. The results indicated that compared to PPS hospitals, CAHs are less likely to have any observed (unadjusted) adverse event on all six indicators, four of which are statistically significant. After adjusting for patient mix and hospital characteristics, CAHs perform better on three of the six indicators. Accounting for the number of discharges eliminated the differences between CAHs and PPS hospitals in the likelihood of adverse events across all indicators except one.
Tele-emergency (tele-ED) services can address several challenges facing emergency departments (EDs) in rural areas. The second study investigates access and characterizes the impact of a rural-ED-based telemedicine program on discharge disposition in terms of patient transfer, local hospital admission, and routine discharge. This study tests the hypothesis that telemedicine enhances access by allowing patients to receive care in the local community, and does so by looking at the probability of transfer and local admissions before and after telemedicine was implemented in CAHs. The results indicate that in the post-telemedicine period, patients were 38% less likely to be admitted to the local inpatient facility than to be routinely discharged [aOR=0.62, 95%CI=(0.57,0.67)] after adjusting for age, sex, race, time of visit, clinical diagnosis, CPT code, number of diagnoses, and admitting hospital.
The third study addresses cost and efficiency by modeling the financial implications of using the same telemedicine program to avoid transfers and estimating the costs and benefits associated with tele-ED implementation in CAHs. Analysis is based on 9,048 tele-ED encounters generated by the Avera eEmergency program in 85 rural hospitals across seven states between October 2009 and February 2014. For each non-transfer patient, physicians indicated whether the transfer was avoided because of tele-ED activation. The cost-benefit analysis is conducted from the hospital, patient, and societal perspectives, and includes technology costs, local hospital revenues, and patient-associated savings. The results show that 1,175 avoided transfers could be attributed to tele-ED. From a rural hospital perspective, tele-ED costs around $1,739 to avoid a single transfer but saves approximately $5,563 in avoided transportation and indirect patient costs. From a societal perspective, tele-ED results in a net savings of $3,823 per avoided transfer while accounting for tele-ED technology costs, hospital revenues, and patient-associated savings. This study highlights various stakeholder perspectives on the financial impact of tele-ED in avoiding patient transfers in rural EDs. Telemedicine has the potential to reduce the number of transfers of ED patients and generate some revenue for rural hospitals despite associated technology costs, while incurring substantial patient savings.

Abstract: Here is proposed a methodology for calculating the costs of quality (Q), environment (E), and occupational safety and health (OSH) to an integrated system, covering the concepts, definitions and practical application in a company. This methodology could result in increased competitiveness as they give us essential information for identifying faults and for taking corrective and preventive actions to enable continuous improvement. The characterization of the costs associated with each of the management systems (E, Q, and OSH) allows to identify the impacts of each on company performance, including the costs of implementation, management and maintenance, as well as their benefits. A joint reading of these costs also allows to justify integrated management systems. The basic methodologies were based on the costs of internal failures, external failures, assessment and prevention (Q); costs of internal failures, external failures, assessment and prevention (E); and Management costs of OSH, OSH-related costs, Assessment and Prevention (OHS). The results of application to a company are presented and discussed. The quantification of the costs associated with the systems was not easy, but after a detailed survey and analysis of the data, all objectives of the study were achieved and the exercise allowed us to identify improvement actions.

Full textAbstract:
Social pressure for sustainability has become a significant factor in Australian business. Made popular by a variety of diverse social movements that employ various tactics, sustainability is increasingly being debated in boardrooms and work areas of both large and small businesses. In this research, sustainability issues are treated as a set of a wider range of obligatory and externally imposed (OEI) issues that are increasingly confronting contemporary business. Of interest to this research is how senior managers deal with sustainability issues. While some businesses excel in dealing with OEI issues, others prevaricate. This research focuses on those businesses that appear to excel in resolving sustainability issues to explore how senior managers deal with sustainability issues. Such understanding is essential for contemporary practising senior managers, as it provides guidance for management behaviour that will enable sustainability and other OEI issues to be dealt with. The author's effort to understand how senior managers deal with sustainability issues has led to the first business context application of Harré's positioning theory. A social constructionist approach, positioning theory is concerned with ordinary conversations, and presumes that these are the building blocks of all other discursive phenomena. The resulting theory builds on positioning theory and provides a point of departure to conduct related research on other organizations that excel in dealing with OEI issues and those that prevaricate. With positioning theory it has been shown that, in dealing with sustainability issues, senior managers engage in a range of positioning of themselves and others. In doing so, power and knowledge have been considered in the light of Foucault's unique and penetrating concepts. This has led to the proposed augmentation of positioning theory to include a concept of social flux, which is put forward as an indication of social order or culture. Through this development, it has shown how senior managers confront opposition and reinforce support to enable them to achieve and preserve sustainability objectives. In practical terms, senior managers alter four components of the social order to align the culture with the issues that need to be dealt with. These components - rights, duties, morals and actions - are parameters that senior managers tune or level when they deal with sustainability issues. When the social order is appropriately tuned or levelled, it is aligned with the issues that need to be dealt with. That alignment enables issues to be resolved in a way appropriate for the organization.

Full textAbstract:
Bakgrund: Arbetsmiljön på akutmottagningen är komplex och ständigt föränderlig. Sjuksköterskan förväntas hantera ett högt inflöde av patienter med varierande omvårdnadsbehov och allvarlighetsgrad. I takt med en allt högre arbetsbelastning, överbelagda sjukhus, långa väntetider och sjuksköterskebrist är det angeläget att tydliggöra hur sjuksköterskans arbetsmiljö på akutmottagningen ser ut och vad det har betydelse för patientsäkerheten. Syfte: Studiens syfte var att sammanställa forskning om sjuksköterskans arbetsmiljö på akutmottagningen med särskilt fokus på patientsäkerhet. Metod: Studien genomfördes som en beskrivande litteraturstudie baserad på 14 vetenskapliga artiklar. Artiklarna söktes i Pubmed och Cinahl samt via sekundär sökning. Resultatet: Genom att identifiera och kategorisera mönster och centrala teman i artiklarna kunde bärande aspekter passande syftet sammanställas. Analysen resulterade i två huvudområden: ”Sjuksköterskans arbetsmiljö på akutmottagningen” och ”Arbetsmiljöns betydelse för patientsäkerheten”. I sjuksköterskans arbetsmiljö framträdde sex faktorer som presenteras med underrubrikerna: arbetsbelastning, erfarenhet/kompetens, teamarbete, kommunikation, avbrott/störningar och ledning/organisation. Slutsats: Flera faktorer i sjuksköterskans arbetsmiljö på akutmottagningen har betydelse för patientsäkerheten. Faktorer som hög arbetsbelastning kan ses som både positivt och negativt beroende på sjuksköterskans kompetens, erfarenhet och personlighet. Vidare är tydlig organisatorisk ansvarsfördelning, ett välfungerande teamarbete med rak och riktad kommunikation av betydelse för arbetsmiljön och patientsäkerheten. När patientsäkerheten äventyras är det ofta brister i en eller flera arbetsmiljöfaktorer. Om nämnda faktorer är välfungerande finns förutsättningar för en god arbetsmiljö vilket gynnar vårdkvaliteten samt personalens arbetsglädje.Abstract: The working environment within emergency care is complex and constantly changing. The nurse is expected to handle high inflows of patients with variety of severity and care needs. In keeping with increasing workload, overcrowded hospitals, long waiting times and lack of nurses it is important to clarify the nurse´s work environment in emergency care and its influence on patients’ safety. Purpose: The purpose of the study was to compile nurse´s working environment research within the emergency department with a particular focus on patient’s safety. Method: The study was conducted as a descriptive literature study based on 14 scientific articles. The articles referenced were searched in Pubmed and Cinahl, as well as via a secondary search. Results: By identifying and categorizing patterns and key themes in the articles, fundamental aspects could be compiled. The analysis resulted in two main areas: “Nurse´s working environment within emergency departments” and “the work environments influence on patients’ safety”. In the nurses working environment, six different influencing factors are described; workload, experience, teamwork, communication, interruptions and organization. Conclusion: Several factors in the nurse's work environment within emergency care are important for patient safety. Factors like high workload can be both positive and negative depending on the nurse's skills, experience and personality. Furthermore, clear organizational allocation of responsibilities, well-functioning teamwork and objective, direct communication is of importance to the work environment and patient safety. There are often shortcomings in one or more work environments where the patient’s safety is compromised. The presence of well - functioning factors in the work environment provide beneficial conditions for quality of patient care and staff satisfaction.

No cenário competitivo empresarial acontecem mudanças rápidas e constantes. Em função dessas mudanças as organizações devem buscar meios para melhorar o seu desempenho e garantir a sua sobrevivência, principalmente no que tange ao fator concorrência. Dessa forma, é necessário que as organizações otimizem o uso dos seus recursos para que possam tornar-se mais eficientes e competitivas. A implantação dos sistemas de gestão da qualidade, de gestão ambiental, e de gestão de segurança e saúde ocupacional em único Sistema de Gestão Integrado (SGI) tem contribuído para alcançar a melhoria da qualidade dos produtos e serviços, favorecendo a proteção ao meio ambiente e a avaliação dos perigos e riscos relacionados à segurança e saúde do trabalhador, que são requisitos importantes nos sistemas de gestão das organizações. Nesse contexto, procurou-se investigar e analisar os resultados obtidos com a implantação e implementação do Sistema de Gestão Integrado (SGI), relacionado à Gestão da Qualidade, Gestão Ambiental e Gestão de Segurança e Saúde Ocupacional, em uma Empresa Prestadora de Serviços que atua no ramo de Manutenção e Montagens Industriais, situada na região do Vale do Paraíba Paulista, Estado de São Paulo. Para tanto, foram utilizadas as pesquisas bibliográfica, exploratória e documental ao estudo de caso. Verificou-se que a implantação do sistema de gestão integrado foi uma estratégia de negócios para a Empresa que, além de conquistar os seus objetivos, adquiriu boas práticas de responsabilidade social e contribuiu para a sua sobrevivência. Além disso, houve melhoria no desempenho, na eficiência e um crescimento de forma organizada e ordenada, que favoreceu o aumento da sua participação no ambiente competitivo.In the business competitive scenario changes happen fast and constant. Because of these changes, organizations must seek ways to improve their performance and ensure its survival, especially in regard to the competition factor. Thus, it is necessary for organizations to optimize the use of its resources to enable them to become more efficient and competitive. The deployment of quality management system, environmental management and occupational, health and safety management in a single Integrated Management System (IMS) has helped to achieve improved quality of products and services, encouraging environmental protection and hazard assessment and risks related to safety and health of workers, which are important requirements in the management of organizations. In this context, it was sought to investigate and analyze the results achieved with the implementation of the Integrated Management System regarded to Quality, Environmental and Occupational, Health and Safety Management in a service company, located in the Vale do Paraíba Paulista, Sao Paulo State. To this end, it was used the research literature, documentary and exploratory case study. It was found that the implementation of integrated management system was a business strategy for the company, which not only achieved their objectives, but also acquired good social responsibility practices and contributed to its survival. Besides that, there was improvement in performance, efficiency and growth in an organized and orderly way, which favored the increase of its participation in the competitive environment.

Full textAbstract:
The use of certification is considered a facilitating tool in demonstrating the company's commitment to all the stakeholders, and how organizations today are increasingly under pressure to perform more with less, the search for the junction of these standards in an integrated management system is seen as an opportunity. As the work program this management need the cooperation of everyone involved, this idea infiltrate into the company culture is necessary. This study aimed to propose a system of integrated management of ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001 standards from the ISO 9001 implemented in leather tanning company, based on the adaptation and use of organizational culture. In this sense, the research is classified as applied qualitative and quantitative approach and procedure as a case study. The main results obtained highlight the relevance of this study for both academia and for the business sector, which reported that the merits of an integrated management arising from a system of standards facilitates the process. The conceptual model used in this study found that there is a significant interaction between the quality systems, environmental and OHS thus from a rigorous analysis of the ISO 9001 standard implemented in the company of this study may suggest actions which have created competence to harmonize understanding the business and subsystems that most influence on your performance, it is expected that by using the suggestions proposed the organization deliberately turn for the better and as a result, disseminate gains in perceived quality of its products and brand reliability internally and externally. It was concluded that with some adjustments in the Gobba Leather enterprise system, it can integrate their quality processes, environment and safety as well as to guarantee such certifications, noting that the proposed action adaptation of the organizational culture of the company in order to that everyone understands the many benefits of this procedure will ensure the success of management.A utilização de certificações é considerada uma ferramenta facilitadora na demonstração do comprometimento da empresa perante todos os stakeholders, e como as organizações atuais estão sendo cada vez mais pressionadas a executarem mais com menos, a busca pela junção destas normas em um sistema de gestão integrada é observada como oportunidade. Visto que o trabalho de programar essa gestão necessita da colaboração de todos os envolvidos, infiltrar esta ideia na cultura da empresa se faz necessário. Este trabalho teve como objetivo propor uma sistemática de gestão integrada das normas ISO 14001 e OHSAS 18001, a partir da certificação ISO 9001 implementada na empresa de curtimento de couro, com base na adaptação e utilização da cultura organizacional. Neste sentido a pesquisa classifica-se como aplicada com abordagem qualitativa e quantitativa, tendo como procedimento um estudo de caso. Como principais resultados obtidos, destaca-se a relevância deste estudo tanto para o meio acadêmico como para o âmbito empresarial, onde registrou-se que a procedência de uma gestão integrada advinda de uma das normas do sistema facilita o processo. O modelo conceitual utilizado nesta pesquisa considerou que há uma significativa interação entre os sistemas da qualidade, ambiental e SST, dessa forma a partir de uma análise rigorosa da norma ISO 9001 implantada na empresa deste estudo pode-se sugerir ações as quais criaram competência ao harmonizar o entendimento do negócio e dos subsistemas que mais influenciarão no seu desempenho, espera-se que ao utilizar as sugestões propostas a organização se transforme deliberadamente para melhor e em consequência, dissemine ganhos na qualidade percebida de seus produtos e confiabilidade da marca internamente e externamente. Concluiu-se que com alguns ajustes no sistema da empresa Gobba Leather, esta poderá integrar seus processos de qualidade, meio ambiente e segurança do trabalho além de poder garantir tais certificações, lembrando que a ação proposta de adaptação da cultura organizacional da empresa a fim de que todos compreendam os inúmeros benefícios deste procedimento garantirá o sucesso da gestão.

Com o desenvolvimento deste trabalho, procurou-se conhecer as limitações do setor da Indústria da Construção Civil em relação à integração de sistemas de gestão. Esta pesquisa, de natureza qualitativa, teve como objetivo geral apresentar diretrizes para a integração de Sistemas de Gestão Ambiental, de Segurança e Saúde no Trabalho e da Qualidade em pequenas e médias empresas de Construção Civil, pautada na questão problema: Como integrar Sistemas de Gestão em pequenas e médias empresas da Construção Civil? Como forma de aproximação dos objetivos ao problema, inicialmente foi realizada uma pesquisa de campo, através de questionários aplicados às empresas de grande porte de vários ramos de atividade que implantaram o Sistema Integrado de Gestão. Foi apresentada uma proposta para a implantação de sistemas de gestão na forma integrada em pequenas e édias empresas da Construção Civil, na qual são descritas todas as etapas do método de implantação. A implantação parcial dessa proposta em uma pequena empresa na cidade de Salvador, evidenciou facilidades e dificuldades. Dentre as facilidades cita-se a motivação dos empregados. Como dificuldade destaca-se a sazonalidade das atividades e conseqüentes dificuldades financeiras. Em função desta implantação parcial, foi desenvolvida uma segunda pesquisa, através de formulários, em empresas de pequeno e médio porte da Construção Civil na cidade de Salvador, com o objetivo de avaliar a proposta de integração, bem como a percepção das empresas em relação aos sistemas integrados de gestão. As poucas alterações sugeridas pelas empresas permitiram a avaliação de que a proposta atende às necessidades e peculiaridades desse segmento da Construção Civil. Concluiu-se que as limitações financeiras e a ausência de legislação que as obrigue a implantar um Sistema de Gestão integrado, bem como a falta de exigência dos órgãos financiadores desestimula o cumprimento de procedimentos que visem à melhoria da Qualidade dos produtos e serviços, bem como a preservação do Meio Ambiente e da Segurança e Saúde no Trabalho e, deste modo, desabilitam-nas à competitividade mercadológica e limitam a sua expansão e desenvolvimento globalizado.

Full textAbstract:
The Barents area has vast natural resources that are for the most part still untapped. Global warming and improvements in technology have recently made it easier to access those resources. This has created growth in the areas of production and business life. High level of health, safety, environment and quality management enables Finland to compete efficiently in the growing market for the novel logistics solutions. The University of Oulu has created the HSEQ Assessment Procedure in cooperation with large companies and their interest groups. The Assessment Procedure is originally created for process industry and offers benefits like comparable data on the assessed company’s management, reduction of overlapping external audits and spreading of know-how along and between supply chains. So far it has been used mainly in the process industry. This thesis studies it’s applicability for a network of port operators. The study explores the HSEQ Assessment Procedure, its use and main principles. A review of related Finnish and international legislation and the functions of ports were performed. The empirical part of research is based on three port operators of one Finnish port. Their level of health, safety, environment and quality management was evaluated and compared with the requirement level of the Assessment Procedure. As a result it can be noted that the HSEQ Assessment Procedure can be well adapted to be used in port companies and its implementation could be beneficial. This means that further research of the applicability of the Assessment Procedure is encouraged. Having been tested on the port operations, the Assessment Procedure can be utilized for the other business areas. Thus the Assessment Procedure could even become a nationwide practiceBarentsin alueella kuten muillakin arktisilla alueilla on valtavat suurelta osin vielä hyödyntämättömät luonnonvarat. Ilmaston lämpeneminen ja teknologian kehitys ovat viime aikoina mahdollistaneet pääsyn noihin luonnonvaroihin. Sen myötä alueen tuotannollinen ja kaupallinen elämä on kasvussa. Suomi on yksi kilpailijoista kasvavien logististen tarpeiden ratkaisuja vertaillessa. Maan etuna kilpailussa on sen tunnetusti korkeatasoinen terveys-, turvallisuus-, ympäristö- ja laatujohtaminen. Oulun yliopisto on kehittänyt yhteistyössä suurten yritysten ja näiden sidosryhmien kanssa HSEQ-palvelutoimittajien arviointimenetelmän. Menetelmän etuina ovat vertailukelpoinen tieto arvioitavien yritysten johtamisen tasosta, samansisältöisten ulkoisten auditointien väheneminen ja tietotaidon leviäminen toimitusketjuja pitkin ja niiden välillä. Menetelmää on käytetty tähän mennessä lähinnä prosessiteollisuudessa. Tässä diplomityössä tutkitaan sen sovellettavuutta satama-alan yritysten arviointiin. Tutkimuksessa perehdyttiin HSEQ-arviointimenetelmään ja sen käyttöön ja periaatteeseen. Myös siihen aihepiirien suomalaiseen ja kansainväliseen lainsäädäntöön sekä satamien toimintaan perehdyttiin kirjallisuustutkimuksen avulla. Empiirinen tutkimus suoritettiin tutustumalla kolmeen samassa satamassa toimivan yritykseen. Niiden terveys-, turvallisuus-, ympäristö- ja laatujohtamista arvioitiin laadullisten haastattelujen avulla ja vertailtiin tuloksia HSEQ-arviointimenetelmän käytön vaatimuksien tasoon. Myös menetelmän käyttöönoton tuomia muutoksia arvioitiin. Tulokseksi saatiin, että arviointimenetelmä on hyvin sovellettavissa myös satama-alan yrityksiin ja sen käyttöönotosta voitaisiin saada hyötyjä satamissa toimivissa yrityksissä. Tuloksesta voidaan päätellä, että menetelmän soveltamista tulisi tutkia vielä laajemmalti. Sen käytön sopiminen satama-alalle tukee olettamusta sen mahdollisesta soveltuvuudesta myös muiden alojen yrityksiin, jolloin sen hyötyjä voitaisiin levittää laajalti suomalaiseen yritystoimintaan. Näin menetelmästä saatettaisiin kehittää jopa maanlaajuinen käytäntö

Full textAbstract:
Foodborne illness continues to be a substantial public health issue in the United States, with fresh produce being one of the leading causes of outbreaks. Understanding routes of contamination of fresh produce and how pathogens survive on plant surfaces is paramount in improving food safety and reducing risk to public health. The objectives of this study were to select environmental E.coli isolates as pathogen surrogates of Salmonella typhimurium and E.coli O157:H7, assess lettuce plant contamination by spray irrigation water, and evaluate a common industry quality control (QC) E.coli strain (ATCC 25922). Selections of E.coli surrogates were made utilizing biofilm and leaf attachment data from lab scale assays. Five surrogates were found to be similar in biofilm formation and leaf attachment capabilities of the pathogens, while the common QC strain was significantly different than Salmonella in both biofilm formation and leaf attachment (p < 0.05). Persistence of surrogates, pathogens and the QC strain on lettuce plants was assessed in greenhouse scale experiments, where it was found that all isolates were above detection levels for 22 days. Die-off rates were calculated for all isolates, with the QC strain having the greatest rate of die-off in the first experiment (k = -4.52) and the second greatest in the second experiment (-2.82) while the pathogens and selected surrogates had statistically similar and lower rates of die-off. Based on this information, current policies concerning the sampling and management of irrigation waters and crops for microbial safety may be insufficient. It is recommended that sampling methods and frequencies be adjusted for irrigation waters and fresh produce, and the use of projected die-off rates not be used for the determination of time intervals needed before a crop is safe to harvest.

Full textAbstract:
The objective of this thesis is to reveal the perception of the Turkish contractors toward ISO 9001 Quality, ISO 14001 Environmental and OHSAS 18001 Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems using questionnaires. All of the companies participating in the survey have already been ISO 9000 certified. Thus, the questionnaire prepared included more
details for the Quality Management System. The results of the questionnaire outcomes are statistically analysed.
Analysis of the survey results show that the most common motivators of Management Systems for Turkish contractors are to qualify to tender for local and international projects and to increase competitiveness in overseas markets, however the vision approach of top management is not less
important than the financial issues. Most of the companies stated that they implement Management Systems as a part of their improvement strategy as well. This proves that the companies are aware of the benefits of certification
in the long term period.
Although the most expected advantages of the systems are qualification to tender for projects both locally and internationally, as well as gaining competitive advantage, it has been observed that other benefits are realizedby the Turkish contractors such asmore systematic record keeping, higher company prestige, increased client satisfaction. The major disadvantages realized by practicing the Management Systems are increased documentation and workload. The solution is proposed as to set an internal network and to integrate the systems to reduce paperwork. In conclusion, all of the Management Systems were believed to be as useful tools and Turkish contractors think that their advantages overcome disadvantages.

Full textAbstract:
Le sol est la couche supérieure de l’écorce terrestre, la surface plane qui s’étire d’un horizon à un autre. Il est la terre que l’on laboure, le sable que l’on égraine, base que l’on piétine, point d’attache des hommes à un territoire : jardin, région ou Etat. Les sols, ces écosystèmes fragiles aux multiples fonctions, à l’origine de tout autant de services écologiques, sont les garants de la qualité de l’environnement. Le droit a intégré diverses conceptions de la notion de la qualité des sols. Mais loin de constituer un statut de protection, cette intégration éparse est indifférente, a priori, leurs qualités environnementales. Or, les sols sont une ressource finie et leur utilisation irraisonnée conduit à leur dégradation, souvent irréversible, et à leur raréfaction. Progressivement, le droit s’est enrichi d’éléments relatifs à la multifonctionnalité des sols, intégrant des pratiques garantissant leur utilisation durable ou organisant de façon cohérente leur affectation. Cette approche utilitariste de la qualité des sols s’avère sélective et demeure concentrée sur la préservation des services écologiques directement bénéfiques à l’homme, dont celui de production des matières premières alimentaires, au détriment des services indirects ou déterritorialisés, tel que celui de stockage de carbone. Cette approche est toutefois complétée par l’émergence d’une conception objectiviste de la qualité, qui révèle les propensions du droit à protéger la valeur intrinsèque des solsThe soil is the upper layer of the earth’s crust, the plan surface that stretches from one horizon to the other. It is the crop lands, the scattering sand, the ground we trample on, the link between men and their territory: garden, region, state. The soils, those fragile and multifunctional ecosystems, provide many ecological services and guarantee the environmental quality. The law contains several conceptions of the notion of soils quality. But, far from constituting a protection status, this integration ignores, a priori, their environmental qualities. However, the soils are a finite resource and their non-sustainable use leads to their degradation, often irreversible, and to their growing scarcity. Progressively, the law added elements of soils multifonctionality, integrating sustainable practices. This utilitarian approach of soil quality proves to be selective and remains focused on the preservation of a small part of all the ecological services: the ones that men directly need, like food production and ignores the indirect ones like carbon storage. Nevertheless, this approach is complemented by the raising of an objectivist conception of quality, which reveals the propensity of the law to take into account the intrinsic value of soils

Full textAbstract:
Abstract
When examining management from the viewpoint of systems approach, the main elements are the overall management systems of a company and the related ESSQ matters and other critical success factors, depending on their theme. Excellent business management e.g. by taking advantage of quality award models is also becoming one of the cornerstones of the success of an organisation. Companies increasingly need more efficient and productive systems to maintain their competitiveness. These kinds of systems should continuously improve the company's operations and increase the satisfaction of customers and other interest groups.
A qualitative approach is mainly applied in this dissertation. This dissertation is composed of five research papers, in which qualitative approach is also used. The empirical data of this dissertation were obtained through interviews and a questionnaire among experienced industrial managers. All individual interview results and replies to the questionnaire were analysed and, when appropriate, compared to the literature. Finally, conclusions and synthesis were drawn based on the analysis.
As a general conclusion, it can be stated that combining issues that fall under different themes is reasonable because, on one hand, the causes of problems may be common to all areas and, on the other hand, solving one separate problem may easily lead to problems in other fields of business. Business-orientedness can be further increased by taking maturity models into consideration. Organisations, which apply holistic management systems that take all essential success factors of business into consideration, approach the natural functioning of an organisation. The integration of different operational areas into one system will facilitate the management of operations, increase internal co-operation and save resources, time and costs.
The starting point of holistic management is that needs can be fully addressed only when all relevant variables of the entire organisational system are taken into consideration. Systematically integrated management systems that cover different operating models in an extensive manner and that function well are not yet common, but there is a clear trend towards the integration of different systems. This dissertation indicates that the ultimate purpose and genuine contribution to business of Integrated ESSQ Management and maturity models is to provide a framework, which helps companies to better understand and incorporate these issues as a part of their overall Operational and Business Management. In principle, every company should develop its own management model that is tailored to meet the needs of the organisation in question.

Full textAbstract:
Ageing has become a significant research area in the last few decades. The most important reason that makes ageing issue significant is the increasing rate of the older indviduals within the population all around the world. Statistical data on ageing both in Turkey and in the world reveals that, in the near future, the number of population over 65 will increase dramatically. It can be asserted that there will be an urgent need of specifically designed accommodation for this portion of the population. Hence, this thesis intends to search for and
practice a design solution for the elderly housing.
One of the instruments that supported the formulation of such a solution is the subject of &lsquouniversal design&rsquo
. Within the scope of this study, the principles of universal design and its relationship with ageing are defined, examined and evaluated. It is accepted that living environment has effect on the enhancement of the individual&rsquo
s quality of life. For this reason, the relationship between person and environment is briefly discussed in congruence with principles of universal design and provision of quality of life. Accessibility, safety, privacy, autonomy and independence are the common concerns of universal design and provision of a higher quality of life. With review of the definitions of specific elderly housing types, another approach for this study is to make a case study of the existing architectural solutions for the elderly housing. This helped to understand architectural approaches to the relationship between ageing and environment in the world. In the light of the findings, an architectural project, presenting a habitable environment for the elderly, is proposed. For the project, the concept of &ldquo
assisted living&rdquo
as a new category for elderly housing, is chosen.

Full textAbstract:
Comparative analyses of district-run public schools and charter schools are limited to performance outcomes. There is a dearth of research on how the school-types vary on factors consequential to performance such as school climate. Public-private distinctions, such as in organizational autonomy, value orientations, funding structures, and management practices, could result in school climate dissimilarities between district-run public schools and charter schools.
The aim of this dissertation is to assess the influence organizational factors have on school climate and determine if school-type affects school climate. Student and staff school climate survey data from the Miami-Dade school district were utilized for this dissertation. Structural equation modeling was employed to test theoretical models of students’ and staffs’ perceptions of school climate using data from 2001-2002 through 2015-2016 academic years. Within-between effects panel regression was utilized to test the effect of school-type on school climate constructs over time using data from 2005-2006 through 2015-2016 academic years.
The structural equation results demonstrate that milieu, ecology, culture, and organizational structure influence students’ and staffs’ perceptions of their schools’ climates. Ecology has the strongest association with students’ perceptions of school climate. Job satisfaction, a part of milieu and culture, has the strongest association with staffs’ perceptions of school climate. The results indicate that the theoretical models of school climate employed by this study are sound.
The within-between effects panel regression results demonstrate that characteristics inherent to school-type have a plausible influence on students’ perceptions of school climate, but not for staff. Charter school students rated their school climates more favorably than traditional public schools, but when other factors are controlled, traditional public schools and magnet schools had more favorable ratings. Public-sector values, collective bargaining, and school district oversight may be beneficial to schools’ climates.
This dissertation underscores the impact management and funding structures have on school climate. The author recommends that the school climate concept and evaluations of schools’ organizational practices be incorporated into school improvement policies. The milieu, culture, ecology, and organizational structures of schools should be reviewed when assessing school quality.

The number of Building Companies that searches for a certification of their Quality Management Systems (SGQ’s) has risen in recent years, focused mainly on ISO 9001 and PBQP-H. The same trend has been occurring with regard to Management Systems of Environmental, Safety and Health at work in view of the current global socio economic outlook. Although companies suffer a number of difficulties during the process of implementation and certification of SGQ’s and several works in the literature have already studied about that subject, not much is known upon those difficulties of SGI’s (Integrated Management System) implementation, as well as the rate and reasons for dropouts implementation and recertification of those systems, especially in construction. Therefore, the present Study has as objective to evaluate the level potential of implementation of Integrated Management System (SGI’s) covering Quality, Environment, Safety and Health at work at Building Companies that have ever had a Quality Management System (SGQ) implemented. As methodological proposal, it was used the available literature for the preparation of a compatibility matrix among reference standards (ISO 9001, SiAC (2012), ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001) and the checklist containing the items (requirements and criteria) most relevant to the implementation of SGI’s. Also were developed quantitative indicators which that do references for the degree of implementation of SGI's. The research was conducted in the form of study case, as a way of method validation, from ten civil work of a medium size Building Company. As results, some hypotheses initially proposed was validated in the research that there are significant differences in the implantation potential of SGI's in civil work in the same organization, in addition, it was possible to find that distinct phases of execution of civil works influence about the potential of adherence into implementation to one SGI. The indicators established show as an important tool for the building companies to mark out to achieve the SGI. The elaborate method contributes to the advancement in construction with regard to implementation and maintenance of SGQ’s and, preliminary, of SGI’s. Besides trying to contribute to a better understanding of the evolution of quality, environment, safety and health at work in construction, this Study longed to highlight the benefits and critical issues, not only for the implementation of SGI's, but also for their maintenance and viability in the sector.
O número de empresas construtoras que buscam uma certificação de seus sistemas de gestão da qualidade (SGQ’s) tem crescido nos últimos anos, focadas principalmente na ISO 9001 e no PBQP-H. A mesma tendência vem ocorrendo quanto aos sistemas de gestão ambiental e de segurança e saúde no trabalho tendo em vista o atual panorama sócio-econômico global. Embora as empresas sofram uma série de dificuldades durante o processo de implantação e certificação de SGQ’s e, diversos trabalhos na literatura já tenham estudado sobre este assunto, pouco ainda se sabe sobre as dificuldades de implantação de SGI’s (Sistemas de Gestão Integrados) e sobre o índice e os motivos de desistências de implantação e de recertificação destes sistemas, principalmente, em construtoras. Deste modo, o presente trabalho tem como objetivo avaliar o potencial de grau de implantação de SGI’s abrangendo Qualidade, Meio Ambiente e Segurança e Saúde no Trabalho em empresa construtora que já fosse detentora de um SGQ. Como proposta metodológica empregou-se literatura disponível para a elaboração de uma matriz de compatibilidade entre as normas de referência (ISO 9001, SiAC (2012), ISO 14001 e OHSAS 18001) e de uma lista de verificação contendo os itens (requisitos e critérios) mais relevantes à implantação de SGI’s. Também foram desenvolvidos indicadores que fazem referências quantitativas ao grau de implantação de SGI’s. A pesquisa foi realizada, sob a forma de estudo de caso, como forma de validação do método, a partir de dez obras de uma construtora de porte médio. Como resultados, foram validadas as hipóteses inicialmente propostas na pesquisa de que existem diferenças significativas de potencial de implantação de SGI’s em obras de uma mesma organização. Ainda foi possível constatar que fases de execução distintas de obras influenciam quanto ao potencial de aderência de implantação a um SGI. Os indicadores estabelecidos mostraram-se importante ferramenta para as construtoras se balizarem para alcançarem o SGI. O método elaborado contribui para o avanço na construção civil no que diz respeito à implantação e manutenção de SGQ’s e, preliminarmente, de SGI’s. Além de tentar contribuir para melhor compreensão da evolução da qualidade, do meio ambiente e da segurança e saúde no trabalho na construção civil, este trabalho almejou ressaltar os benefícios e os aspectos críticos não só para a implantação de SGI’s, mas também para sua manutenção e viabilidade no setor.

Full textAbstract:
INTRODUCTION: More than 1.8 million diarrheal disease deaths can be attributed to the lack of access to water, sanitation and hygiene. These deaths occur mostly in developing countries where water quality testing resources are limited. Several tests are currently used to detect and quantify E. coli and other fecal coliforms in drinking water, however they can be expensive, complex, and technically demanding. There is a need for a simple, reliable, low-cost water quality test that can be used in resource limited settings. Therefore, the purpose of this research was to perform a rigorous evaluation of the recently developed compartment bag test for detection and quantification of E. coli against the standard method, membrane filtration.
METHODS AND RESULTS: A total of 270 water samples were collected from forty-five various naturally contaminated water sources around metro-Atlanta from August 2011 through April 2012 and processed using the compartment bag test and membrane filtration with mI agar. Concentrations of E. coli were significantly correlated with a correlation coefficient of 0.904 (95% CI 0.859 – 0.950). Sensitivity and specificity were 94.9% and 96.6%, respectively.
CONCLUSION: These results suggest that the compartment bag test produces results consistent with those produced by membrane filtration on mI agar. Based upon its performance, the compartment bag test has the potential to be used as a reliable, low-cost drinking water quality test globally where water quality testing resources are not readily available, and can be implemented in monitoring activities for microbial water quality.

Neste trabalho buscou-se conhecer as perspectivas de sustentabilidade socioambiental no contexto do desenvolvimento do turismo na cidade de Mateiros/Tocantins. Para tanto, foi avaliada a aplicabilidade em destino de pequeno porte dos indicadores de sustentabilidade: Índice de Qualidade de Vida (IQV), Indicadores de Sustentabilidade da Organização das Nações Unidas (ONU) e Pegada Ecológica do Turismo. Percebeu-se que houve um incremento no IQV da cidade de Mateiros de 32,82% após o estabelecimento do turismo, com destaque para as famílias que atuam na produção das peças de artesanato de capim dourado. A mudança, de 0,162 para 0,215, indica que apesar de ter havido uma elevação na qualidade de vida das famílias entrevistadas, o IQV permaneceu baixo, isto é, com valores entre zero e 0,499. Tal fato demonstra que a qualidade de vida das famílias não é satisfatória. Quanto à ferramenta da ONU, percebeu-se que não há sistematização de dados suficientes para que esta ferramenta possa ser utilizada pelos órgãos governamentais na captação de recursos e utilização destes para criar novas políticas públicas para a região. Tal fato demonstra uma ineficácia em destinos de pequeno porte que se assemelhem à cidade de Mateiros na forma em que foi utilizado nesse trabalho. Quanto à Pegada Ecológica do Turismo, de acordo com a metodologia proposta, são necessários 2.194,2263 hectares de terras para absorver o CO2 demandado pela atividade turística na região. A categoria com maior impacto foi terras de energia fóssil na subcategoria transporte terrestre. Conclui-se, então, que os indicadores de sustentabilidade Pegada Ecológica do Turismo e Índice de Qualidade de Vida mostraram-se ferramentas eficazes para se avaliar as perspectivas de sustentabilidade de destinos de pequeno porte.

Full textAbstract:
In developing countries, 60% of project management professionals appear to lack knowledge that timely completion, budget fidelity, and high quality are critical success factors for completion of construction initiatives. Based on the theories of iron triangle, accident causation, scientific management, and strategic management, the purpose of this correlational study was to examine the relationship between project budget and the independent variables of time, quality, safety, environmental impact, and site disputes in the Greater Accra Region of Ghana. One hundred and sixteen project managers, randomly selected from the population of construction professionals in the Greater Accra Region of Ghana, completed the survey entitled the Six Key Performance Indicators developed by Ngacho and Das (2014). The results of the multiple linear regression analysis indicated a weak positive correlation exists between the independent variables (time, quality, safety, environmental impact, and site disputes) and project budget, F(1, 114) = 37.08, p < 0.001. Time recorded the highest beta (β = .50) followed by site dispute (β = .29), environment (β = .22), quality (β = .06), and safety (β = .04). Attention to key performance indicators associated with time, dispute, and environmental impact could improve project outcomes in the Ghanaian construction sector. The study findings could be useful to improve the quality of projects and may benefit the lives of professionals and community members in the area.

A indústria da construção civil é responsável por uma parcela significativa dos impactos ambientais que vêm ocorrendo, especialmente em relação ao consumo de recursos não renováveis e à geração de resíduos. É também responsável por contabilizar um alto número de acidentes de trabalho em seus canteiros de obras, e o elevado índice de perdas, nos quais são incluídos desperdícios e resíduos, é considerado um dos principais desafios do setor da construção, e se constitui em um agravante no consumo de materiais. Além desses, a alteração do ecossistema durante a execução das obras e os incômodos causados à vizinhança – poluição sonora, visual e do ar (poeira) também são considerados impactos ambientais atribuídos à construção. Diversas são as mudanças que o setor da construção civil vem sofrendo nos últimos anos, tanto em relação à qualidade de seus produtos quanto às preocupações ambientais e de segurança de seus operários. Tem-se percebido que existe um número expressivo de leis, regulamentações, certificações e programas que tangem essas questões através de um conjunto de critérios e procedimentos a serem seguidos, e que as grandes empresas do setor possuem maior agilidade na implementação destas normas, pois apresentam sistemas de gestão mais robustos e canteiros de obras melhor organizados. No entanto, uma das peculiaridades do setor da construção civil é a concentração de micro e pequenas empresas que contam com um reduzido número de profissionais, especialmente no corpo técnico, o que dificulta o atendimento a esses programas, geralmente extensos, e que demandam consideráveis investimentos e esforços gerenciais. Neste contexto, o trabalho tem como objetivo propor um conjunto de práticas voltadas à gestão ambiental, de qualidade e segurança para obras de construtoras de pequeno porte, através de um estudo de caso conduzido durante a fase de produção de uma obra residencial por uma empresa construtora familiar de pequeno porte. Na primeira etapa foram identificados os principais problemas gerados por cada fase de construção em termos de qualidade, segurança e meio ambiente. A segunda etapa da pesquisa consistiu em relacionar os princípios de normas de sistemas de gestão para redução dos problemas identificados (NBR ISO 9001:2008, NBR ISO 18801:2010 e NR-18, ISO 14001:2004). Na terceira etapa, foi elaborado um conjunto de boas práticas a serem implementadas por empresas construtoras de micro porte, sem objetivos de certificação. As boas práticas propostas incluem organização de canteiro e documentos, redação de procedimentos e parâmetros de controle e itens de segurança individual e coletivos.
The construction industry is responsible for a significant share of environmental impacts taking place nowadays, and account for a high number of accidents in the worksites. One of the main challenges of the construction sector lies on the high rate of losses, which includes waste and residues. In addition to that, the tampering of the ecosystem, the discomfort caused to the neighboring areas – visual, noise and air (dust) pollution – and the substantial depletion of natural resources are also considered environmental impacts attributed to construction. Nevertheless, the construction industry has gone through several changes in recent years regarding the environmentally-suited quality of products and safety of labor workers. An expressive number of laws, regulations and certification programs guideline these issues through a set of criteria and procedures that have come into effect lately. Due to the fact that large companies feature more well-structured management systems and better organized construction sites, they seem to have greater flexibility on implementing these standards. However, one of the peculiarities of the civil construction sector is the concentration of micro and small enterprises that rely on a small number of professionals, especially in the technical team, thus making it difficult to meet the requirements of such extensive and high-investment programs. In this context, this paper aims to propose a set of practices concerning environmental management, quality and safety directed to small construction works, through a case study conducted during the production phase in a residential construction work carried out by a small family-owned company. In the first stage, the main impacts generated by each construction phase in terms of quality, safety and the environment were identified. The second stage of the research consisted of relating the management systems regulation principles in order to reduce identified impacts (NBR ISO 9001: 2008, NBR ISO 18801: 2010 and NR-18, ISO 14001: 2004). And in the third stage, we designed a set of good practices to be implemented by micro firms without certification goals. Good practices proposals comprehend organization of job site construction and documents, drafting of procedures and parameters of security control, as well as individual and collective safety items.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study is to determine the required attributes and competencies required for a graduate from a manufacturing engineering technology baccalaureate program. A document called “Competencies of Manufacturing Engineering Technology Graduates” was compiled in October 2004. This document lists twelve attributes thought to be important for MET graduates: Leadership, Professionalism, Creativity and Problem Solving, Management, Materials, Processes, Quality, Systems, Design, Communication, Safety and Environmental Issues, and Global Awareness. Under each attribute is a list of five to seven competencies creating a total of seventy-three competencies for graduates of an MET baccalaureate program. This list of attributes and competencies was converted into a survey for the purpose of evaluation by two manufacturing groups: educators and industry representatives. Overall, educators and industry representatives rated the attributes and competencies as important. Ninety-nine percent of the combined educator's and industry representative's competency questions had a mean response of 3.50 and above. Therefore, the competencies are relevant for MET graduates. It was determined that educators did significantly differ from industry representatives for their ratings of the attributes, but educators did not significantly differ from industry representatives for their ratings of the competencies. Generally, industry representatives rated attributes less highly than educators; however, the pattern of responses was similar across educators and industry representatives. The rankings of each attribute section from those rated most important to those rated least important were as follows: Professionalism, Communication, Creativity and Problem Solving, Manufacturing Processes, Design, Safety and Environmental Issues, Quality, Materials, Leadership, Management, Manufacturing Systems, and Global Awareness. Current literature mentions aspects of manufacturing that are considered important and these include: global or international awareness, lean manufacturing, life long learning, and communication. This survey indicated that the Global Awareness section was rated the least important of any section. The lean manufacturing competency had an average ranking out of all seventy-three competencies. Communication has been an important concern for MET graduates since the earliest studies and the survey results suggest that communication continues to be highly valued. MET educational programs should provide many opportunities for students to improve their communication skills.

Desde que foi reconhecida a importância de se planejar um turismo sustentável, tem-se buscado ferramentas adequadas para monitorá-lo nas destinações turísticas, tornando esse um dos principais desafios da academia científica de estudos do turismo na atualidade. Diante desse contexto, o desafio apresenta-se ainda maior, quando tratamos de turismo em unidades de conservação, tendo em vista que envolve um ambiente altamente sensível e comunidades em seu entorno que podem ter, no desenvolvimento dessa atividade, sua principal renda econômica. Assim, o que se propõe neste estudo é analisar a aplicabilidade e a eficiência metodológica do monitoramento que visa ao auxílio na construção da sustentabilidade do turismo, em unidades de conservação, através de um estudo de caso no Parque Estadual do Jalapão, localizado no Estado do Tocantins, Brasil. Prioriza-se a investigação de indicadores locais abordados a partir da definição estipulada pela Organização Mundial do Turismo. Os resultados alcançados demonstraram que os indicadores estudados são instrumentos a serem considerados no processo de avaliação e quantificação do turismo em um destino com semelhantes configurações ambientais, o que viabiliza a compreensão e o fortalecimento da noção de sustentabilidade. Este estudo caracteriza-se pela sua vertente interdisciplinar e teve como norteador o método dedutivo.
