SESAMO: An integrated framework for gathering, managing and sharing environmental data
2016
ICT systems are widely adopted for environmental management, but existing solutions address limited tasks and compose a plethora of heterogeneous tools, which impose a great additional effort on the operators. This work presents SESAMO, a novel framework to provide the operators with a unique tool for gathering, managing and merging environmental and territorial data. SESAMO uses WSNs for providing pervasive monitoring of environmental phenomena and exploits a multi-tier infrastructure in order to integrate data coming from heterogeneous information sources.

Environmental Management Systems (Ems) - Control Instrument of the Impact of the Organization Activities on the Environment
2015
Abstract Due to the ability to create and use technology, the human being has found various ways to transform the resources of the Earth in all sorts of new materials, equipment and energy sources. At least since the last industrial revolution until now, each generation has added more technology to the received legacy, but at the same time, left the planet in a far more degraded state than the inherited condition. Within these changes, small and medium enterprises (SME) in their capacity as pillars of the economic development of a nation, have been compelled to change their previous strategies. Implementing an Environmental Management Systems (EMS) can be seen as the only way to connect the…
L’influence des facteurs stratégiques et organisationnels sur les relations entre contrôle de gestion environnemental et apprentissage organisationne…
2020
Cet article étudie les relations entre contrôle de gestion environnemental (CGE) et apprentissage organisationnel (AO) en inscrivant le modèle de Simons (1995) dans une perspective contingente. Par des facteurs stratégiques et organisationnels, ce modèle enrichi explique les liens entre les modes de contrôle (diagnostique et interactif) de Simons et les niveaux d’apprentissage (en simple et double boucle) d’Argyris et Schön (1978). S’appuyant sur le « cas révélateur » d’une éco-PME missionnaire, l’étude montre l’influence de trois facteurs (valeurs fortes, stratégie proactive, cycle de vie des activités) sur les quatre configurations relationnelles CGE-AO et ouvre de nouvelles perspectives …

Towards Municipal Environmental Development: Environmental Management Systems for Local Formal Education Establishments
2021
Educational institutions create certain environmental impacts in their operation – these impacts can be grouped into the sectors of waste, water, energy, transport and others. There is a need for educational institutions to adopt effective environmental management systems in order to reduce these impacts, as well as those of the whole municipality. The Eco-Schools programme is one of the most comprehensive and popular models of environmental education and management in the world. In recent years, the Eco-Schools programme has proved its effectiveness in numerous evaluations in several countries. The programme aims to raise awareness about environmental issues. Therefore, this programme enco…
Application of Environmental Management Systems (EMS) to Natural Parks and reserves
2006
Natural parks and reserves have to face problems concerning the conservation of their natural resources. Citizens and firms often perceive the institution of new protected areas more as a bind or a restriction to their activities than an added value of the territory. Following the principles of sustainable development, it is necessary to integrate the environmental protection with the needs of neighbouring urban areas and production sites. The implementation of an Environmental Management System (EMS) according to international standards (ISO 14001, EMAS) can support the Park administration in their complex management activities. This paper analysed the criticisms related to the application…
Las Agendas 21 Locales en la Provincia de Valencia: Análisis de los municipios firmantes de la Carta de Xàtiva
2015
Los problemas medioambientales se han ido incrementando hasta adquirir dimensiones planetarias. Por lo que se hace necesario buscar la compatibilidad entre el crecimiento y la protección del medio ambiente. En este sentido, en la Conferencia de Naciones Unidas sobre el Medio Ambiente y el Desarrollo, celebrada en Río de Janeiro en 1992, se adquirió el compromiso de establecer políticas acordes con el desarrollo sostenible, a través de la implantación de las Agendas 21 Locales. Este documento reconoció el papel fundamental de las ciudades y pueblos, al considerar que es la unidad más pequeña donde se pueden dar solución a los problemas. El capítulo 28 del Programa 21 recogió la obligación de…
