Abstract:

Most governments are already trying, or should do so in the near future, to start the way towards sustainable development. The reason why the way is so difficult is the fact that the quantitative measures of it – the suitable indicators to show the measure of the development in the desirable direction – are missing. The information is of irreplaceable importance in the process of transition towards sustainability. All institutions as well as individuals need information, whether their decisions and behaviour is contributing to sustainability or not, and this information has to motivate them, at the same time, to the change of behaviour.

Abstract:

The indicators, precisely describing the linkages between tourism and the environment, social and cultural base, are not easily available. How ever, some relevant organizations (WTO, EU, OECD, etc.), institutions and experts, have been hardly working to create the indicators of sustainable tourism. Whereas the economic objectives are easily defined by the use of the traditional indicators used in national and business economics, it is very difficult to identify widely applicable environmental, social and cultural indicators. In order to stimulate and alleviate the process of sustainable tourism development, EU created the list of comparative indicators of sustainable tourism. In preparing this list, special attention is paid to identification of valid indicators of real tourism impacts on the social and cultural environment (the entire set of traditions, customs, history, hospitality and culture that characterize a given area), that is a very complex task. Assuming the fact that the related indicators have been analyzed in many European countries, this paper is focused on applying the related indicators in research of tourism development in villages of the Kosjeric community. .

Abstract:

Social living conditions and related problems are one of the key indicators of the level and rate of socio-economic development of modern society. The housing problem is characterized by several indicators: the housing deficit (quantitative indicator); high cost of housing (financial indicator); the incompatibility of the structure of the housing stock to the demographic structure of families (structural indicator); the incompatibility of existing housing stock requirements to consumer housing quality (quality indicator); the incompatibility of the requirements to maintenance condition of the housing stock (operational indicator); location of housing (infrastructure, environmental and logistics indicators). The purpose of this study is to analyze and highlight the degree of influence of the main factors on the quantitative indicators of the housing problem based on statistical data over the past few years. A statistical analysis of the impact of various factors on the price of housing in three regions of the Russian Federation is conducted. It is established that the main factor influencing the price of housing is the average per capita income of the population.

Abstract:

Urbanization is happening in the huge scale. Beside many advantages of urbanization such as economic and social growth, but at the same time, urbanization brings many problems like air and noise pollution. Urban sustainability aims to make balance between economic growths, environmental issues and social and welfare condition of a city to meet the present needs without jeopardizing the resources and future generation’s opportunity. In order to measure sustainable development progress of an area the role of indicator system is undeniable. In this pre-research work the sustainable development of the Isfahan city in Iran was studied based on 28 indicators in Economic growth, Environmental protection and social and welfare. Moreover the Improved Permutation Polygon Synthetic Indicator Method (IFPPSI) was used to synthesize the value of indicators and geometric illustrate of different indicators. The result showed that the synthetic value of indicators to measure sustainable development of Isfahan city is 0.5 which indicates moderate level of sustainability.

Abstract:

Indicators are very important in the assessment to see the success of the sustainable tourism model. There is still little research involving stakeholders for the determination of sustainable tourism assessment indicators. This study tries to produce a more specific grouping of sustainable tourism assessment indicators was carried out. The literature review study was conducted in 31 indexed international journals uploaded online in the 2010-2020 range. The keyword used for sustainable tourism assessment is an indicator of sustainable tourism assessment. The results of the analysis study, indicators used in the assessment of sustainable tourism obtained as many as 75 indicators (22 economic; 24 social; 29 environmental) with 6 levels of stakeholders which have to validation for future research.

Abstract:

Tourism as one of the most significant sectors of the world economy plays an important role in achieving the goals of sustainable development. The fundamental conditions of sustainable development are the proper management of the environmental, social and economic impacts, as well as the well-established planning based on a detailed analysis. Measuring the changes and evaluating the results are tasks carried out by governmental and professional organizations. The first step of the assessment is defining the concept of sustainable tourism. Indicators are the most widely used set of tools for the assessment. Several international organizations have focused on elaborating the most suitable indicators for sustainable tourism development and formulating assessment models based on indicators since the beginning of the 1990s. Neither a generally accepted set of indicators nor a universally applicable assessment method has been put together until now. In the present study a few definitions of sustainable tourism are reviewed, criteria for indicator selection are listed, followed by the presentation of a sustainable tourism model. Finally a recently published assessment procedure based on the Bellagio Principles is summarized.

Abstract:

In article the direction of transition of society to sustainable development as a basis of ekologo-economic security is considered. Authors have analysed experience in the field of development and use of indicators of sustainable development which are necessary not only for assessment of effectiveness and efficiency of scientific and technical progress and development of economic systems and also for forecasting and management of process of transition to sustainable development. The systems of indicators of sustainable development developed by the Commission of the UN on sustainable development, OECD, the World Bank, the system of indicators developed for improvement of management of environmental management in Central America are considered. On the basis of the analysis of the international and Russian experience of development of indicators of sustainable development by authors their classification is offered. Authors note that indicators of sustainable development are the basis for indicators of Strategy of ecological safety of the Russian Federation until 2025 developed in 2017. A special problem at selection of indicators is extent of their integration. In article the most widespread integrated indicators of sustainable development are considered: Living Planet Index, The Ecological Footprint, Genuine Progress Indicators, Index of Sustainable Economic Welfare, Human development index, Index of Adjusted netsavings. On the basis of the analysis of the specified indexes authors draw a conclusion that the most worked in the theoretical plan, having good statistical base and possibilities of calculation is considered integrated Index of Adjusted netsavings of the World Bank.

Abstract:

This contribution demonstrates how more human-centered measurements for sustainable urban planning can be created by enlarging the traditional set of urban sustainability indicators. In many municipal reports, sustainable indicators concentrate on environmental issues, by collecting data at an aggregated spatial and temporal level using quantitative methods. Our approach aims to expand and improve the currently dominant quantitative–statistical methods by including perception geographical data (subjective indicators following the social indicator approach), namely additional indicators at spatial and temporal levels. Including small-scale city district levels and a temporal differentiation produces more process assessments and a better representation of everyday life. Based on a survey we conducted at district levels in the city of Karlsruhe, we cover three sustainability dimensions (ecological, social, economic) and analyze (1) how citizens are mobile in a sustainable way (bike use) and (2) how they perceive and react to heat events in the city. We argue for taking people’s perception and the spatiality and temporality of their daily activities better into account when further developing urban sustainability indicators and when aiming for a sustainable, human-centered urban development.

Abstract:

Several recent papers presented at the annual meeting of the Transportation Research Board, Washington, D.C., and elsewhere have reported on efforts to make sustainability manageable. To this end, the papers suggested the use of indicators and performance measures to help conceptualize and operationalize sustainability for transportation-related planning and decision making. Often these studies presented frameworks that would allow sustainability indicators and measures to be included in, for example, agency strategies and practices. Moreover, some papers suggested criteria for the selection of individual indicators and performance measures. The studies, however, did not always agree on the definition of a framework or how to use one to make sustainability-based decisions, and they tended to differ on underscored aspects and concerns. The current study addressed the issue of frameworks more generically and explored what was termed a “metaframework” with a set of associated criteria to guide the framing of indicators for sustainable transportation. On the basis of an explicit framework theory, the three functions of conceptualization, operationalization, and utilization were found to provide a logical structure of complementary features with which to build indicator frameworks. Characteristics of robust indicator frameworks were evaluated in terms of their significance for the three key functions, and they were collected in a list of criteria. A review of the Brundtland Report provided an example of how a more finely grained understanding of sustainability can inform the conceptualization criterion ranking of sustainability impacts. The metaframework was intended primarily as a basis for empirical analysis and for meta-evaluation of existing practice frameworks with respect to the strength of the level of sustainability that they are likely to provide.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to identify the impact indicators of the 2010 Taipei International Flora Exposition from the perspective of residents and to investigate the effects of these impacts on the urban sustainability through the perceptions of Taipei residents after the exposition. Design/methodology/approach The authors conducted a literature review and consulted experts to identify the impact indicators of the exposition. This process resulted in 17 indicators of economic impact, 12 indicators of environmental impact, and 13 indicators of social impact, and the authors developed a 12-dimension/42-indicator mega-event impact measurement scale. Using a survey of 1,628 host residents after the exposition, the authors performed regression analysis to investigate the effects of these impacts on the urban sustainability. Findings The results indicated that economic, environmental, and social impacts exerted significant positive effects on urban sustainability. All positive dimensions of economic, environmental, and social impact exerted significant positive effects on urban sustainability, and all negative dimensions exerted nonsignificant effects on urban sustainability. Originality/value This study identified the impact indicators of the 2010 Taipei International Flora Exposition and investigated the effects of these impacts on the urban sustainability. The findings of this study indicated that economic, environmental, and social impacts of the exposition exerted significant positive effects on urban sustainability.

Abstract:

Sustainable development is one of the main paradigms of contemporary society´s development. Important and yet not sufficiently developed is the creation of systems for the assessment of sustainable development indicators adapted to national environmental priorities, national and regional environmental, economic and social policies; evaluation of environmental impacts of productive systems throughout the life cycle of man and environment; the use of metrics for sustainable development in the limited local area (enterprise, city, region, etc.). Today, ithas become apparentthatmanagement system atthe national and locallevels should include the use of a set of indicators that cover all dimensions of sustainable development of the regions: the social, economic and environmental. However, the analysis conducted and based on such indicators as the integral index of sustainable development will make it possible for managers at various levels of government to find out the strengths and weaknesses of modern domestic regional policy, and to identify priority areas for their future endeavors. The article presents the results of the study that allow us to speak about the need for a differentiated approach to regional development and a unified state strategy based on the conceptual principles of sustainable development. Evaluation of sustainable development is based on an analysis of several areas of economic sustainability of socio-economic systems: economic, environmental and social. Evaluation of economic, environmental and social areas requires the use of specific indicators. The integrated assessment indicator of sustainable development of the region in the use in administrative activities is the best. It is effective to assess the current situation and forecast trends in the development, and this indicator characterizes the degree of stability of the system and the balance of its development. Integral indicators of innovative development can intensify the processes of comparative analysis of the dynamics of economic systems in the region, and they are universal indicators of balanced growth for the most important aspects of socio-economic system.

Full text

Abstract:

Within the context of major land uses such as agriculture, the indicators of sustainability must be framed within the social and economic conditions of the society in question. Whereas an indicator is used to measure changes in key attributes, usually over time, a threshold provides a baseline against which sustainability can be assessed. A direct measure of sustainability using indicators is difficult, and indirect measures or surrogates may be easier to establish. There is some information on threshold values for indicators, particularly for indicators such as soil acidity and nutrient status, and for those relating to root physiology. Because some threshold values are soil specific, it seems likely that range of values will be required for a particular indicator. There have been few case studies involving indicators and thresholds for sustainable land management. Examples of soil and land suitability for the production of Hevea brasiliensis (rubber) in Malaysia and for the management of sloping lands for annual crops in the Philippines are discussed. Biophysical indicators and thresholds for sustainable rubber production appear to be reasonably well-understood, particularly those relating to climate and soil physical factors. For sloping lands in the Philippines, yield data and benefit: cost ratios give a clear picture of trends and sustainability. Key words: Sustainable land management, indicator

Abstract:

This paper discusses the potential of birds as indicators of sustainable forest management. Several reviews have been critical of birds as indicators of environmental change, and we discuss the major criticisms in the context of forest management. We address these criticisms by suggesting alternative approaches for an indicator research program including the use of focussed studies to identify cause-and-effect relationships, habitat modelling to act as a surrogate to extensive monitoring of populations, and spatially-explicit population modelling (1) to conduct exploratory sensitivity analysis to identify the most important parameters; (2) to incorporate the spatial configuration of habitat into consideration of the impacts of management; (3) to anticipate future impacts as an alternative to measuring past impacts; (4) and, as a means of evaluating alternative management scenarios including natural disturbance regimes. Birds are unlikely to be able to act as a precise tool for the measurement of some forest condition, but they could be useful indicators of sustainable forest management as part of an iterative research program. Key words: sustainable forest management, biological indicators, forest birds, habitat modelling, population modelling, natural disturbance regimes

Abstract:

The aim of the paper is to provide a ranking of the Czech NUTS 3 regions based onsustainable development indicators. The original list of indicators was published by theCzech Statistical Office in 2008 and reviewedin 2010. In the analysis the same set ofindicators with the latest data was used. The indicators in each pillar are merged by meansof linear aggregation withweights derived from the principal component analysis.Because three pillars of sustainable development (environmental, economic and social)are assumed to be non-compensable, the multiple-criteria decision analysis is applied on apillar level in the final composite indicator. Both two main approaches – Borda andCondorcet were considered. Since the Borda approach leads to the compensability of theindicators, the Condorcet approach was in the spotlight. Advancedrules and adjustmentfor Condorcet approach were employed. Advantages and disadvantages of the methodsare provided. As a result more final rankings exist. The deep discussion about the resultsis provided. The special attention is paid to the capital city Prague, border regions, andindustrial regions. In addition, the correlation between final ranking and other indicatorsis tested.

The article emphasizes the fact that traditional socio-economic indicators do not reflect the challenges of sustainable development adequately, and this is particularly true for the widely-used GDP indicator. In this connection the elaboration of sustainable development indicators is needed, taking into account economic, social and environmental factors. For Russia, adaptation and use of concepts and basic principles of calculation methods for adjusted net savings index (World Bank) and human development index (UNDP) as integral indicators can be promising. The authors have developed the sustainable development index for Russia, which aggregates and allows taking into account balanced economic, social and environmental indicators.

Abstract:

The subject of research is elaboration and evaluation of indicators of sustainable development in the field of river basin management. Aggregate indicator entitled Ecoregion Sustainable Development Index is identified by calculation of average value by the procedure of leveling of proportion changes of three key indicators (demographic emission index, water quality index, industrial production index). Developed aggregate indicator of sustainable development is calculated and analyzed for South Morava river basin in Serbia, for the period from 1980 to 2010. The beneficiaries of these indicators are the experts from the field of environmental protection and water management who should use it for elaboration of reports directed towards the creators of economic development policy and river basin management planning. Elaborated according to the given methodology, the indicator Ecoregion Sustainable Development Index is available for the decision makers on the national level, internationally comparative and it provides the conditions for further elaboration and application.

Abstract:

One of the main objectives of sustainable development is to improve living standards and obtain a friendlier business environment, by increasing their competitiveness and performance and the main goal of companies are to achieve a productive activity that ensures their short-term success, but also to pay attention to long-term survival. This analysis was performed to assess the influence of financial indicators of companies and their contribution on the sustainable development of the North-West region of Romania. The research follows the evolution of sustainable development and financial indicators of the sample of 37 companies listed on the BSE, with data collected from 2008-2019, covering the following sectors according to their BSE classification: manufacturing, trade, hotels, construction. In this paper is used both qualitative and quantitative research methods. Among the qualitative research methods used it can be mentioned: observation, comparison and analysis of data. The econometric analysis is based on the estimation of a panel data regression technique and the decision between the random effects model and the fixed effects model was based on the Hausman test. The microeconomic indicators used to analyse the connection with the indicators of sustainable development of the North-West region of Romania are turnover, net profit and the average number of employees used as independent variables and the indicators selected based on information provided by the National Institute of Statistics for the North-West region, called Territorial Sustainable Development Indicators, are the following: Regional Gross Domestic Product, GDP per inhabitant, economically active population, the employment rate of the working age population, the job vacancy rate and the unemployment rate used as dependent variables. The results of the correlation analysis of the parameters showed a weak, insignificant influence between the financial indicators and the sustainable development indicators, the observed data do not allow the identification of a valid linear model.

Abstract:

Indicators can be used for identifying, simplifying and quantifying agri-environmental aspects of sustainability. They offer us a way to proceed from the theoretical definition of sustainability to more practically oriented approaches. This study examines agricultural systems with a view to identifying the points and levels at which the sustainability of these systems can be assessed. The agri-environmental indicators are presented within the Pressure-State-Response (PSR) framework. Although suitable for ecological indicators, this framework is not highly relevant for economic and social indicators, which were thus studied from a more general theoretical perspective. As the concept of sustainability includes a number of different value-laden definitions, the setting of indicators should be seen as an ongoing re-evaluation rather than a technical process of measuring certain parameters. The need to refine the assessment methods was recognised in several subthemes of agricultural sustainability. A major shortcoming was found to be the lack of tools for evaluating qualitative phenomena such as landscapes and animal welfare. Likewise, in economics and the social sciences, much needs to be done to promote understanding of the interactions between these disciplines and environmental processes. Moreover, the basic framework of the assessments requires further examination, for instance, when interpreting the indicator results, when dealing with uncertainty and when seeking to identify cause-effect chains, even though these questions are no longer purely matters of indicator methodology.;

Abstract:

Sustainable development evaluation is a separate area of research and a tool to prepare and to make management decisions in regional development. There are a lot of academic publications devoted to the selection of the indicators applied to measure the regions’ sustainable development. There is an ongoing discussion about the development of a system of indicators reflecting social, economic, and ecological areas of sustainable development applicable to regional evaluation and inter-regional comparison. The approaches are different in their choice of the indicators for the region’s sustainable development evaluation, this makes it more difficult to compare and to apply, which urges the need to systematize the applied approaches. In the view of the above, the purpose of the study was to look at the selection principles for the regional development measurement, to find the regularities and differences in working out the evaluation system for the sustainable development of the region’s economy. The novelty of the research is as follows: а) a comparative analysis method is applied to reason the selection principles for the indicators used to measure the regions’ sustainable development; b) a unique conceptual model for selecting the evaluation criteria of regions’ sustainable development is developed. Theoretical importance of the paper lies in systematization of the approaches to the sustainable development evaluation at the regional level. Research’s practical value is represented by visualization of the grouping principles for the evaluation indicators. The key methods of the research are a system-based method, logic and comparative analysis. A comparative analysis method was applied to find the regularities and common approaches to measurement indicator selection by the algorithm “author – region (a group of regions) – research purpose – a set of indicators”. The data was summarized in a colored matrix as a lot of characteristics should be considered, such as the name of an indicator, unit of measurement, origin of the indicators (one or several areas of sustainable development), purpose of an indicator or a solved research task, as well as the features of the regions which these systems of indicators were prepared for. The research also considers whether the authors adhered to the requirements, such as comparability, proportionality, correspondence with the sustainable development goals, ability to reflect the development dynamics, etc. As a result, the research revealed a significant chaos in the names of the indicators, units of measurement, approaches to data processing, etc. This impedes the evaluation of regions’ sustainable development and inter-regional comparisons. However, the research found that a number of indicators applied by many authors are repeated, which makes us claim that this research is likely to have its practical application, while the wording of the key principles contributes into the development of a list of universal key (basic) indicators applicable to evaluate the sustainable development in all regions, with no exception. With this in mind, the paper offers to develop the principles required for the measurement systems and some indicators under the conceptual basis presented as an author’s model. The model has several contours and conceptual levels since it unites a list of criteria to be met by the indicators and the algorithm which should be observed in developing these criteria or requirements. Along with this, the requirements to the indicators are developed at the target, vector, indicator, and object levels, while the requirements to the system on the whole are shaped at the system level. Level-based division is conventional since the criteria are closely interrelated. In this case, a level is seen to be a dimension for the criteria and a particular step in the algorithm rather than a hierarchy. The results of the research are as follows: a compiled list of indicators which are met in many publications at the same time with no regard to their origin and research task, which proves that the system of universal indicators for evaluation of the RF regions’ sustainable development could be developed; a ready-to-use conceptual model which systematizes the requirements to the evaluation indicators for the region’s sustainable development at target, indicator, object, and system levels of analysis. The developed model was used as the basis to define a list of key requirements to the indicators applied to measure the regions’ sustainable development. Observation of these requirements in selecting the indicators will further contribute into the development of a system of basic universal indicators applicable for evaluation, comparison and decision making to achieve the sustainable development of the regional economic systems.

Abstract:

Climate change and sustainability have recently been object of study due to the impact on the planet and on human activity of the first and the benefits that could derive from the efficiency of the second. Particularly, urban environments are locations that represent a high percentage of emissions of gases, waste, resources use and so forth. However, they are places where great changes can be made, in an attempt to accomplish the urgent challenge to adapt to current and projected rates of climate change. Research has shown that a fruitful approach to urban sustainability is to describe indicators that measure the effectiveness of current processes of urban infrastructures, analyze areas in need of improvement and measure the effect of any actions taken. The significant feature of this research relies on its global approach, considering both major worldwide used and less widely-spread frameworks and the analysis of the 32 selected tools and guidelines, including over 2000 indicators. The result is a proposed structure of 14 categories and 48 indicators, easily applicable in urban areas, that tries to fulfill basic aspects to obtain a general diagnosis of the sustainable nature of the urban environment, which can serve as support to detect the strongest and weakest areas in terms of their sustainability.

Abstract:

ABSTRACTThe search for sustainability indicators should be guided by a theory of sustainable development (SD). In this paper we investigate two such theoretical frameworks and the indicators that they suggest. Indicators associated with weak sustainability are characterized by aggregative indicators such as green national income. We conclude, however, that a more promising offshoot of green accounting is measures of genuine savings (i.e. savings adjusted for loss of assets). To achieve SD, genuine savings rates must not be persistently negative. Strong sustainability indicators accord a more central role to the conservation of critical natural assets within the broader goal of prudently managing a nation's portfolio of assets over time. We discuss two approaches—carrying capacity and resilience—and conclude that, while measures of resilience are potentially attractive, more research is required regarding the resilience–SD link. However, an important conclusion that we can make is that, even in an economy operating under a strong sustainability regime, genuine savings are still key indicators of SD and are complementary to measures of changes in stocks of critical natural assets.

Abstract:

This research is based on our previous research that developed consensus sustainable city indicators for Cambodia through three-round Delphi panel surveys. That research developed indicators in the first round based on UN sustainable development goal 11, ASEAN environmentally sustainable city, Korean case study, and domestic green and clean city indicators, and validated the developed indicators in the last two rounds. After consensus analysis, that research obtained 32 assessment indicators categorized by nine criteria. However, these indicators are not prioritized yet due to the limitation of the Delphi technique. Hence, this research aims to prioritize these indicators by applying the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) technique and to confirm whether the levels of importance verified by Delphi can be used for prioritizing or ranking the indicators. This research surveyed potential respondents experienced and working in relevant fields both offline and online. Online surveys were processed through E-mail, Facebook, and LinkedIn. A total of 118 questionnaires were gathered from the surveys, and 16 were inconsistent (consistency ratio > 0.1). The results showed that the highest and lowest weights are 0.0557 and 0.086. The top ten indicators are slum population (0.0557), unemployment (0.0516), crime prevention (0.0470), water supply (0.0469), city’s migration (0.0462), low-income housing (0.0445), solid waste collection (0.0437), labor-force (0.0421), construction safety (0.0400), and traffic congestion (0.0398). The rank of all indicators based on their levels of importance is completely different from the rank of their weights. Therefore, this research confirms that the levels of importance verified by Delphi cannot be used for ranking or prioritizing the consensus indicators. The priority weights in this research would be useful to policymaking, strategic direction, and budget allocation for the development and management of sustainable cities in Cambodia.

Abstract:

Abstract Assessment of sustainable position of selected countries is the important challenge in the last years. The sustainable theory has changed from the years of Rio conference and the availability of statistical resources is becoming better. Sustainable development is an important objective for each country. Enlargement of the EU has brought the current priorities and future direction of EU environmental policy sharply into focus. Enlargement process has increased the standards of environmental protection and social development. Significant environmental investments are necessary and the new members need to speed up their preparation for implementing the Gothenburg strategy “sustainable strategy”.

Abstract:

Purpose Sustainable production (SP) is a very broad area and the awareness and communication of the concept differ between varying levels in a company. The supposition is that the awareness and improvement of sustainability on shop floor level would improve, if a suitable set of indicators for measuring sustainability was available. The purpose of this paper is therefore to identify a list of performance indicators relevant for a production manager. Design/methodology/approach This paper presents a two-step analysis, where the first step is a literature review with the purpose of compiling a gross list of sustainability indicators relevant on shop floor level. In the second phase, the relevance of this list for production managers in Swedish small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) is tested in a questionnaire survey. Findings The conclusion from the survey is that 27 out of 52 proposed indicators were relevant with statistical significance and that another 20 indicators were supported by at least 50 percent of the respondents. The respondents found the economic indicators to be most relevant for their purpose. However, the economic field seems to need more indicators in order to be more useful for daily operation. Practical implications This set of indicators may be beneficial for companies seeking relevant indicators to drive sustainability improvements. Originality/value This paper takes a new perspective on SP, as it focusses on shop floor production, which is possible to influence for a production manager.
