The Necessary Integration of Green Infrastructures in the Public Transport Infrastructure Design
2021
The spatial planning of the new infrastructures for the urban mobility can provide the opportunity for the development of the urban green areas toward the condition of a healthy city. Elements such as architectural, heritage, and landscape centralities can lead to build a converging point between the two infrastructural systems of green and mobility. The development of the new urban railway lines in the city of Palermo (Italy) offers the chance to apply an integrated approach to the field. The local potentials of the biodiversity on one side and the fragmented landscape and environment systems on the other side build the framework for the development of a case study oriented to the enhancem…

Thinking collaborative empowerment as a communication dispositive : the case of collaborative consumption’s online community services in a sustainabl…
2020
This thesis propounds an info-communicational approach of empowerment phenomenon in a market oriented context. In order to do so, we focus on discourses and communicational processes that refer to this very concept in “collaborative consumption” platforms’ framework. Massification of this type of services is accompanied by discourses emphasizing a socioecological “power” they would be carrying for consumers (as a more social and sustainable economy). We underline the gap between this utopia and the organizational reality of empowerment. First part of this thesis proposes to highlight this polysemic concept. The point is to problematize empowerment in tension between political communication …
Durée et catastrophe. Régimes temporels et conflits écologiques à l’heure de la globalisation de l’environnement
2020
Elaborating from anthropology of nature and semiotic of culture, the work aims to illustrate that every ecological crisis is, also, a temporality crisis. In order to do so, it compares different visions of future – and, therefore, of the present of the enunciator – that shape international environmental crisis between ’60 and ’70. The first, insisting on risks, comes from Massachusetts Institute of Technology, advising about the Limits to Growth; the second, insisting on risk normalization, comes from UN first Earth Summit; both discourses are registered in reports published in 1972 and read worldwide. The analysis shows that while the MIT report successfully points the temporality crisis r…
Santé et développement durable : proposition d'une grille de lecture de la contribution des politiques de santé au développement durable
2002
Development economics and health economics evolved according to dynamics which their are appropriate.The issues concerning the role of health in developing countries, if they had formerly no echo which theytake on today, nevertheless concerned a rather big number of specialists. The approaches in terms of humancapital, endogenous growth... tend today to recognise health and education as pillars of human development.But the objective of development, qualified since the Bruntland's report, of "sustainable", does it give way tothe development of health systems? The aim of this paper is double: on one hand, it consists in tempting aclarification of the concept of sustainable development general…
Impact of Industrial SMEs in the Environment Conservation : A Systematic Mapping Study
2020
Small and medium-sized companies have an impact on the environment where they operate. In some cases, the effects on the environment can be significant within local communities leading to a series of negative processes, such as emission pollution into the atmosphere, the discharges to rivers and seas, the production of waste; in some cases, it makes the contamination to the soil. This paper presents the results of the systematic mapping study aimed at assessing environmental management in industrial SMEs. Descriptive studies of SMEs emphasize their poor environmental commitment, describing them as primarily interested in controlling pollutant emissions just to comply with regulations. Ninet…
Sustainability and Teaching in Higher Technological Education
2015
In this chapter, Sustainability and Teaching in Higher Technological Education, Tom V. Nilsen argues for technological education that sees technology in a holistic perspective. The chapter starts with World Commission on Environment and Development (Report of the world commission on environment and development: Our common future, 1987, New York, NY: United Nations) and moves on to engineering education. It is recognised that the implications for universities are radical. The idea of the Honest Broker is presented. Via Giddens and Habermas, and systems thinking, there are links to other disciplines which are discussed in other chapters.
Soil Science Challenges in a New Era: A Transdisciplinary Overview of Relevant Topics
2020
Transdisciplinary approaches that provide holistic views are essential to properly understand soil processes and the importance of soil to society and will be crucial in the future to integrate distinct disciplines into soil studies. A myriad of challenges faces soil science at the beginning of the 2020s. The main aim of this overview is to assess past achievements and current challenges regarding soil threats such as ero-sion and soil contamination related to different United Nations sustainable development goals (SDGs) including (1) sustainable food production, (2) ensure healthy lives and reduce environmental risks (SDG3), (3) ensure water availability (SDG6), and (4) enhanced soil carbo…
Tourism planning and innovation: The Caribbean under the spotlight
2018
International audience; The importance of the islands working together toward a multicentre product for tourists has been highlighted asearly as the 1980s, and yet hardly anything has been done in that sense. Can cluster be considered as the wayforward for the sustainable development of the Caribbean? This question could be considered as the first step ofthe tourism planning process. Hierarchical method or linkage method that works by identifying entities thatmatch each other based on the investigator selection of similar attribute categories is the most suitable clusteringapproach for the Caribbean. Despite the fact that cluster appears as a potential solution for issues faced by someCarib…
