Skinner, Lara Renee. "Is it just sustainability? The political-economy of urban sustainability, economic development and social justice". Thesis, University of Oregon, 2010. http://hdl.handle.net/1794/10922.
Texto completoCities in the United States are increasingly challenged with sharpening inequalities, social exclusion and the effects of a swelling environmental footprint. In response, city officials, political interest groups and residents have seized the framework of urban sustainability to address these mounting social and environmental problems. However, the push for environmental and social sustainability often directly contradicts the push by influential urban business coalitions for cities to be more economically competitive with other locales. I explore the compatibility of urban sustainability and economic development through a case study of Eugene, Oregon's Sustainable Business Initiative, led by Mayor Kitty Piercy. In this Initiative, the interaction between the urban sustainability and economic development discourses calls into question current entrepreneurial strategies and opens the door to exploring the implications of integrating sustainability and social justice concepts with urban economic development policy. Labor-community-environmental coalitions, with a broad vision for sustainability and regional equity, present an alternative to traditional business coalitions' influence on economic development policy and provide a strategy for economic development based in wealth redistribution and environmental health.

Texto completoThe global production originated from extractive fisheries is stagnant since 2000s. With the increasing global demand for fish products, aquaculture has become one of the main alternatives for the protein supply for human consumption. On the other hand, the intensification of aquaculture production results in an increase of negative impacts on the environment, making necessary the development of new farming technologies that will minimize environmental impacts. The biofloc technology system is proving to be an alternative to traditional cultures, and the great advantage of this system is the reduction of water use, besides the increase in productivity. The objective of this study was to evaluate the growth performance, indexes of water quality, the sustainability indexes of cultures and the economic parameters of Nile tilapia culture at different densities in the bacterial biofloc system. Among the water quality parameters evaluated, ammonia and nitrite showed values above the optimal range used in different densities (200, 400, 600 and 800 fishes m-3), while the values of Total Suspended Solids (TSS) reached the ideal range just after 30 days of culture, an insufficient time to an ideal biological production of flakes and, consequently, the reduction of the nitrogen compounds. Regarding the zootechnical parameters, all showed statistical difference in the four densities experienced, with the density of 600 fishes m-3, presenting the best results in terms of productivity and biomass gain. About the sustainability of cultivation, both the IS and the IQA found were classified as low in all densities, indicating poor water quality of the cultivation. In the economic analysis, there was economic loss at all densities, with the density of 600 peixes.m-3 achieving better results. However, the gross revenue generated was only R$ 124.2 Â 4.2, with a partial operational cost of R$ 166.8 Â 8.7, making necessary the previous establishment of the microbial community in this type of culture system, so that all water quality parameters remain according to ideal standards.
A produÃÃo pesqueira mundial oriunda da pesca extrativista està com sua produÃÃo estagnada desde os anos 2000. O aumento da demanda mundial do consumo de pescado tornou a aquicultura uma das principais alternativas de proteÃna para o consumo humano. Por outro lado, a intensificaÃÃo da produÃÃo aquÃcola resulta em um aumento de impactos negativos sobre o meio ambiente, logo se faz necessÃrio desenvolver novas tecnologias de cultivo a fim de minimizar os impactos ambientais. O sistema de bioflocos bacterianos vem se mostrando como uma alternativa aos cultivos tradicionais e a grande vantagem desse sistema à a reduÃÃo do uso de Ãgua, alÃm do aumento na produtividade. O objetivo do trabalho foi avaliar o desempenho zootÃcnico, os Ãndices de qualidade de Ãgua, os Ãndices de sustentabilidade, bem como os parÃmetros econÃmicos de cultivos de tilÃpia do Nilo em diferentes densidades em um sistema de bioflocos bacterianos. Dentre os parÃmetros de qualidade de Ãgua avaliados, a amÃnia e o nitrito apresentaram valores acima da faixa ideal nas diferentes densidades utilizadas (200, 400, 600 e 800 peixes m-3), enquanto os valores de sÃlidos suspensos totais (SST) atingiram a faixa ideal apenas apÃs 30 dias de cultivo, tempo insuficiente para a produÃÃo ideal de flocos biolÃgicos e, consequentemente, a reduÃÃo dos compostos nitrogenados. Em relaÃÃo aos parÃmetros zootÃcnicos, todos apresentaram diferenÃa estatÃstica nas quatro densidades experimentadas, sendo a densidade de 600 peixes m-3 a que apresentou melhores resultados quanto à produtividade e ganhos de biomassa. Quanto à sustentabilidade do cultivo, tanto o IS quanto o IQA encontrados foram classificados como baixos em todas as densidades, indicando uma qualidade de Ãgua ruim para os cultivos. Na anÃlise econÃmica, houve prejuÃzo em todas as densidades, sendo a densidade de 600 peixes m-3 a que alcanÃou melhores resultados. No entanto, a receita bruta gerada foi de apenas R$ 124,2  4,2, com um custo operacional parcial de R$ 166,8  8,7, tornando necessÃrio o prÃvio estabelecimento da comunidade microbiana neste tipo de sistema de cultivo, para que todos os parÃmetros de qualidade de Ãgua permaneÃam dentro dos padrÃes ideais.

Texto completoEsta dissertação de mestrado visa contribuir com novos conhecimentos académicos no campo da Economia Circular (EC), através da exploração do conceito de EC, procurando compreender a possível contribuição da EC na criação de um sistema mais sustentável dentro de uma organização: a IKEA. Será a Economia Circular será a solução para uma gestão eficiente e sustentável de uma organização? Qual a sua importância para o desenvolvimento das indústrias e a sustentabilidade ambiental? Foram estas as questões de investigação que o estudo de caso da IKEA veio demonstrar que a sustentabilidade e a economia circular não são destinadas apenas a pequenas e médias empresas. A IKEA demonstra que qualquer empresa é capaz de criar produtos com processos de produção circulares, que representam um impacto reduzido no ambiente e expressa, de forma prática, algumas estratégias que pretendem inspirar outras organizações a realizar a transição para processos de produção e gestão mais sustentáveis, neste caso, mais circulares. Não é possível afirmar que a IKEA possua uma gestão totalmente circular, mas está comprometida em atingir esse objetivo.
This thesis aims to contribute with new academic knowledge within the field of Circular Economy (CE). It is done so by exploring the concept of CE and seeks to understand the possible contribution of CE in the creation of a more sustainable system inside an organization: IKEA. Will the Circular Economy be the solution to an efficient and sustainable management of an organization? How important is it to industry development and environmental sustainability? It was these questions of investigation that the IKEA case study demonstrated that sustainability and the circular economy are not just for small and medium-sized enterprises. IKEA demonstrates that any company is able to create products using circular production processes that have a reduced impact on the environment and portrays practical expression of some strategies that are intended to inspire other organizations to make the transition to more sustainable production and management processes, in this case, more circular. It's not possible to say that IKEA has a totally circular management, but it's committed to achieving this objective.

Texto completoThailand’s economy has gone through a quick development during the past two decades As a result of the economic crisis in 1997, His Majesty the King Bhumibol Adulyadej introduced the philosophy of sufficiency economy (SE). SE is built upon a model which can be used every day, notonly during crises, to strengthen the economy within the country and the society. Due to the worldwide attention on the philosophy it is interesting to research how applicable SE is in Sweden or generally worldwide.The aim of the field study and the thesis is to obtain a contemporary interpretation of the applicability of sufficiency economy.The approach of the field study consisted of four main steps; feasibility study, research tool, the field study procedure and evaluation. The study includes a literature study with a combination of interviews with key persons, a multinational company situated in Bangkok and Thai students. The intention of the selection was to obtain a conceptual interpretation of SE in relation to the interviewed people. The answers of the different groups were first put in their own context, and then a comparison was made in order to make the analysis.Several different opinions were uncovered regarding the interpretation of SE. It is necessary to interpret it at an individual level.The rational decision making and following the middle way is important to achieve a balanced life. However it is a knowledge gap within theThai society where it is important to have a stable government and the right spokesman of SE.

Texto completoLa indústria del vi genera grans volums d’aigües residuals procedents de diversos processos i operacions realitzats durant la producció del vi. Les aigües residuals de celler (ARC) es caracteritzen per tenir uns cabals i càrregues molt variables. De fet, més de la meitat del cabal i càrrega produïts durant l’any es concentren durant l’època de verema, quan es recull el raïm i es produeix el suc de raïm. Espanya és considerada un dels països amb major producció de vi. No obstant això, a la majoria dels cellers Espanyols les aigües residuals encara no són tractades o gestionades adequadament. En aquest context, els aiguamolls construïts (AC) són una alternativa als sistemes convencionals (p. ex. Sistema de fangs activats, bioreactors de membrana) per al tractament de les ARC ja que tenen un baix cost, baix requeriment d’energia, fàcil operació i manteniment i una bona integració al paisatge. Des d’un punt de vista tècnic, s’ha demostrat que les aplicacions d’AC a escala real redueixen més d’un 90% dels contaminats orgànics i dels sòlids de les ARC produint aigua apta per múltiples usos de reutilització com el reg. A més, el tractament primari dels AC pot produir fangs que poden ser estabilitzats a aiguamolls de tractament de fangs per a produir biofertilitzants i adobs orgànics. La producció d’aigua regenerada i biofertilitzants a partir de les ARC pot promoure l’economia circular al sector vitivinícola augmentant la seva sostenibilitat. Tot i que l’aplicació dels AC al sector vitivinícola ha estat àmpliament provada des d’un punt de vista tècnic, encara no existeixen estudis que avaluïn i quantifiquin els seus beneficis ambientals en el context de l’economia circular. Aquesta tesi doctoral té com a objectiu avaluar i quantificar els beneficis ambientals dels AC per al tractament de les ARC en comparació amb les solucions existents i convencionals. Per abordar aquest objectiu, s’ha dut a terme una avaluació del cicle de vida (ACV), mesures de gasos d’efecte hivernacle (GEH) i una avaluació de la petjada de carboni comparant els sistemes d’AC amb tecnologies convencionals i altres alternatives existents (és a dir, el sistema de fangs activats i la gestió per tercers). Aquesta investigació s’ha realitzat en el marc del projecte WETWINE (http://wetwine.eu/) que va tenir com a objectiu promoure solucions innovadores i respectuoses amb el medi ambient per al tractament d’efluents produïts per la industria vitivinícola al sud-oest d’Europa. Per això, aquesta investigació s’ha basat en diferents sistemes a escala real implementats a bodegues ubicades a Galícia (Espanya), Portugal i sud de França. En particular, s’ha dissenyat i implementat un sistema d’AC a un celler situat a Galícia, on s’ha dut a terme activitats experimentals. Els resultats de l'ACV van mostrar que els impactes ambientals dels AC eren entre 1,5 i 180 vegades inferior que la gestió per tercers i entre 1 i 10 vegades inferior que el sistema de fangs activats. Les emissions de GEH (és a dir, diòxid de carboni (CO2), òxid nitrós (N2O) i metà (CH4)) es van monitoritzar en un sistema de fangs activats i AC utilitzant un analitzador de gasos d'espectroscòpia infraroja per transformada de Fourier (FTIR) in situ. Els resultats van destacar que les taxes d'emissió superficial del sistema d'AC van ser més baixes que les generades pel sistema de fangs activats. A més, es va registrar i documentar variabilitat estacional, diària i instantània a les emissions, així com variabilitat espacial. La petjada de carboni del sistema d'AC era fins a 42 vegades inferior en comparació amb la gestió per tercers i fins a 4 vegades inferior al sistema de fangs activats. Finalment, aquesta tesi ha avaluat i quantificat, per primera vegada, els beneficis ambientals dels AC per al tractament d’ARC. S’ha demostrat que són una solució sostenible per al tractament d’aigües residuals i fangs a les bodegues ja que són una alternativa respectuosa amb el medi ambient i rentable econòmicament que pot promoure l’economia circular permetent el tractament i reutilització de fangs i aigües in situ. Els resultats de la investigació d’aquesta tesi poden ajudar a impulsar la implementació dels AC al sector vitivinícola, així com a difondre els seus beneficis ambientals per guanyar més acceptació social.

Texto completoAs the philosophy of doing business shift from sell what you can produce to produce what you can sell so do the customers’ specification continuously become a vital tool during product development process, hence increasing the volatility of the business environment. The objective of this thesis is to thoroughly review literature to be supported by cases why most companies fail in sustaining improvement programs then map out a pathway that will leads to successful implementation.
A series of reasons were found which impedes the successful implementation of improvement programs which includes; management is unable to define the problem to be solve and the method of measurement, implementers choose wrong parameters for improvement, implementers sub-optimize or may not involve everyone that will be affected by the program, top management gives little or no attention to improvement programs and at times they may even loose focus, so many concurrent improvement programs are executed which will result to resource overloading, teams members most often lack data integrity, and teams members are often scared to try new ideas hence prohibiting the chances of innovation. To minimize this cankerworm, a number of steps has been mentioned. The steps were divided into two phases, the selection phase and the implementation. The selection process includes; defining the program, focus program on improving shareholders’ value and choose program base on a holistic perspective. The implementation phase includes; commitment of top management, prioritize projects, use critical chain project management to plan and execute project, lay emphasis on quality data, minimize the number of concurrent projects, encourage risk taking, and spend time and resources on value adding activities.

Texto completoThesis advisor: Nicole Barnes
From its first use by the Olmecs in the ancient Americas to its proliferate presence in modern foods, drinks, and snacks, chocolate has always been a popular commodity. Its historical development from bean to drink to bar is both complex and fascinating, and yet this favorite sweet of both children and adults alike carries a darker side that colors its popularity. As the past few decades have shown, sustainable and ethical trade has become an increasingly viable approach by chocolate and cacao companies in response to the popular outcry against the injustices that riddle the cacao economy. OBJECTIVES. In this paper, I use the Worlds of Food framework of Kevin Morgan, Terry Marsden, and Jonathan Murdoch to examine the rise and development of a “moral economy” in chocolate from its beginnings as individual moral outcries to the organized efforts that contribute to the sustainable world cocoa economy today. METHODS. Following this historical analysis, I present the myriad problems, challenges, and obstacles currently faced by the world of chocolate by presenting and critiquing various case studies of sustainability models promoted by players in the cocoa economy. RESULTS. I find the existence of a cycle of compromise between a sustainable agenda and a profiteering, business-as-usual agenda in the world of chocolate. In conclusion, I suggest practices that might further enable the successful mainstreaming of ethical chocolate for a truly sustainable world cocoa economy

Gomes, João Rui Fernandes. "Safe reuse of treated urban wastewater in Praia, Cape Verde: a case study". Master's thesis, Faculdade de Ciências e Tecnologia, 2014. http://hdl.handle.net/10362/11227.
Texto completoCape Verde is one of the countries where the socio-economic development and growth are diminishing due to problems of water scarcity. The effects are more noticeable in the city of Praia, with a population of about 131.719 inhabitants2. This is due to the rapid urban development and the consequent special needs such as irrigation, industry and tourism. The region has suffered for several consecutive years the phenomenon of drought, which makes this occurrence an easily predictable one and turns the lack of water into a factor that constrains the development and well-being of the city. Consequently, it is imperative to recognize the value of water and to create a good strategy to ration its use, along with finding ways to mobilize new resources. The presented study was developed using a methodology based on the use of the treatment, purification and reuse of wastewater technology, as well as secure ways reusing it for compatible proposes. The work also includes a technical and economic analysis related to the development of the implementation project, in which were studied several alternatives that allow the reuse of treated water from the city of Praia to the current flow, as well as for future expansions. The presented results indicate that there must be followed an objective orientation in order to define the quality parameters and the complementary actions necessary to ensure a safe re-use of water from the direct point of view of human health to the green areas, such as agricultural areas or spaces for public use. Thus, it’s important to consider the preparation and development of awareness campaigns for the population of Cape Verde, involving local authorities and the social formation as a driving force to promote the efficient use of water, knowledge of the quality parameters and prevent waterborne diseases. To improve the monitoring of water quality in general is essential to plan and organize a study of international comparison of water quality laboratories in different regions, and promote the development of specialized seminars to improve technical capacity. To promote the treatment and reuse of treated water are virtual training platforms to develop and promote the exchange of experience in these fields. These initiatives will be strengthened through research and technical assistance to assess the potential and develop specific projects of self-wastewater treatment and reuse.

Texto completoSince the ancient time, the environment was one of the main part of human life. Latins and Greeks have written numerous lyrics and texts on the strong interconnection between human life and the environment, stressing the importance of using it without destroying the natural equilibrium. The ancient arguments are today extremely actual. Human activities, taking advantages of natural resources or due to accidents, have altered the natural equilibrium and have damaged the environment irremediably. As a consequence of that, the “Green economy” and the “Sustainable development” started to be the focus of many studies and both national and international directives. The IEA Report presented in Marrakesh, demonstrates that the global economy is becoming “greener”. Because the field is deeply interdisciplinary, it seems important to approach it initially from a multidisciplinary point of view, and then to analyze it under the lens of the Business administration discipline. In general, the aim of this work is to study how organizations are involved and affected by Green economy. The arguments here are elaborated in the thesis, which is structured as follows. Chapter one reports both the first studies on the environment and the more recent literature developed in Italy and abroad. Evidences of the link between the environmental, social and economic system, are suggested. The outputs of a “not sustainable development” are environmental issues, as air, water, noise, electromagnetic, land pollution and waste. To face these problems, international agreements have been signed and, to make the economic development sustainable, organizations must comply with the standards. The second chapter gives an overview of the Green economy, pinpointing the key aspects and the most relevant moments of its development. The Green economy, which results in improved human well-being and social equity, while significantly reducing environmental risks and ecological scarcities (UNEP, 2011), affects and is affected by Business administration. In fact, to face environmental issues, organizations can implement green practices or start a new activity choosing a green business. The Green economy model here used stresses two aspects: the green practices implemented by organizations and the green businesses in which organizations can operate. Chapter three focuses on the green businesses and, after the analysis of the existing literature, proposes a “green business classification” adapted from the main Business administration literature (as Masini or Richardson) and the international organizations (as UNEP or OCSE). Chapter four and five analyse statistically one of the green businesses: the recycling business. Therefore, I have selected a sample of 87 Italian organizations which core business is recycling, and using a model of multiple linear regression, I have studied the variables correlated with performance. The scope of the chapters is to analyze empirically a business that is part of the Green economy model to link Business administration field and Green economy. To do so, I have analyzed the economic performance of the recycling business. In fact, the economic efficiency of a green activity has positive effect on the environment itself. This concept links the economic and environmental performance that organizations active within a green business implement. In fact, waste management, and in particular recycling activity, is a concrete application of the sustainable development. In summary, this thesis is both theoretically and empirically relevant for several reasons. First sums up the Green economy literature and analyzes it under the lens of the Business administration; second, proposes a classification of the green businesses, readapted from the Green economy and Business administration literature and the legislation; third, it is studied the general trend and the performance of the Italian recycling organizations.

The global production originated from extractive fisheries is stagnant since 2000s. With the increasing global demand for fish products, aquaculture has become one of the main alternatives for the protein supply for human consumption. On the other hand, the intensification of aquaculture production results in an increase of negative impacts on the environment, making necessary the development of new farming technologies that will minimize environmental impacts. The biofloc technology system is proving to be an alternative to traditional cultures, and the great advantage of this system is the reduction of water use, besides the increase in productivity. The objective of this study was to evaluate the growth performance, indexes of water quality, the sustainability indexes of cultures and the economic parameters of Nile tilapia culture at different densities in the bacterial biofloc system. Among the water quality parameters evaluated, ammonia and nitrite showed values above the optimal range used in different densities (200, 400, 600 and 800 fishes m-3), while the values of Total Suspended Solids (TSS) reached the ideal range just after 30 days of culture, an insufficient time to an ideal biological production of flakes and, consequently, the reduction of the nitrogen compounds. Regarding the zootechnical parameters, all showed statistical difference in the four densities experienced, with the density of 600 fishes m-3, presenting the best results in terms of productivity and biomass gain. About the sustainability of cultivation, both the IS and the IQA found were classified as low in all densities, indicating poor water quality of the cultivation. In the economic analysis, there was economic loss at all densities, with the density of 600 peixes.m-3 achieving better results. However, the gross revenue generated was only R$ 124.2 ± 4.2, with a partial operational cost of R$ 166.8 ± 8.7, making necessary the previous establishment of the microbial community in this type of culture system, so that all water quality parameters remain according to ideal standards.
A produção pesqueira mundial oriunda da pesca extrativista está com sua produção estagnada desde os anos 2000. O aumento da demanda mundial do consumo de pescado tornou a aquicultura uma das principais alternativas de proteína para o consumo humano. Por outro lado, a intensificação da produção aquícola resulta em um aumento de impactos negativos sobre o meio ambiente, logo se faz necessário desenvolver novas tecnologias de cultivo a fim de minimizar os impactos ambientais. O sistema de bioflocos bacterianos vem se mostrando como uma alternativa aos cultivos tradicionais e a grande vantagem desse sistema é a redução do uso de água, além do aumento na produtividade. O objetivo do trabalho foi avaliar o desempenho zootécnico, os índices de qualidade de água, os índices de sustentabilidade, bem como os parâmetros econômicos de cultivos de tilápia do Nilo em diferentes densidades em um sistema de bioflocos bacterianos. Dentre os parâmetros de qualidade de água avaliados, a amônia e o nitrito apresentaram valores acima da faixa ideal nas diferentes densidades utilizadas (200, 400, 600 e 800 peixes m-3), enquanto os valores de sólidos suspensos totais (SST) atingiram a faixa ideal apenas após 30 dias de cultivo, tempo insuficiente para a produção ideal de flocos biológicos e, consequentemente, a redução dos compostos nitrogenados. Em relação aos parâmetros zootécnicos, todos apresentaram diferença estatística nas quatro densidades experimentadas, sendo a densidade de 600 peixes m-3 a que apresentou melhores resultados quanto à produtividade e ganhos de biomassa. Quanto à sustentabilidade do cultivo, tanto o IS quanto o IQA encontrados foram classificados como baixos em todas as densidades, indicando uma qualidade de água ruim para os cultivos. Na análise econômica, houve prejuízo em todas as densidades, sendo a densidade de 600 peixes m-3 a que alcançou melhores resultados. No entanto, a receita bruta gerada foi de apenas R$ 124,2 ± 4,2, com um custo operacional parcial de R$ 166,8 ± 8,7, tornando necessário o prévio estabelecimento da comunidade microbiana neste tipo de sistema de cultivo, para que todos os parâmetros de qualidade de água permaneçam dentro dos padrões ideais.
