Propagowanie idei zrównoważonego rozwoju w serwisach społecznościowych
2017
Problemy ekologiczne przekraczają granice polityczne, a wdrażanie zasad zrównoważonego rozwoju napotyka na bariery i jest kontestowane przez niektóre grupy społeczne. Dalsza realizacja w pełnym zakresie tej idei wymaga zatem głębokich przemian w społeczeństwie,poprzedzonych szerokimi konsultacjami społecznymi. W związku z tym tworzy się przestrzeń do edukacyjnych i promocyjnych działań na jej rzecz. Serwisy społecznościowe posiadają wielką i jeszcze nie w pełni docenianą siłę oddziaływania społecznego. Stosowane tam metody przekazu treści i sposoby argumentowania nie mieszczą się w klasycznych ramach. W prezentowanym artykule skupiono się na specyfice wykorzystania serwisów społecznościowyc…
Nomenclature for Hydrogeological Instability Risks
2022
The nomenclature for hydrogeological instability risks includes four main risks, which are distinguished according to the risk causes : 1) hydrogeological risk, that is slowly caused by natural factors (e.g. collapse landslides in a calcareous cliff in uninhabited areas and erosion along a marly-calcareous slope) in environments where human activities are minimal, i.e. woods, forests and mountain pastures; 2) hydraulic-pedological farming risk, that implies the occurrence of landslides in every winter and is caused by incorrect crop selection, not suitable for the soil and climate parameters (e.g. on a hilly slope with a clay vertisol type with a landslide having different fronts, when the …
Living the urban challenge : sustainable development and social sustainability in two southern megacities
2007
Kehitysmaiden nopea kaupungistuminen ja miljoonakaupunkien voimakas kasvu luovat haasteita kestävään kehitykseen tähtäävälle suunnittelulle. Kansainvälisissä kehitysohjelmissa on pyritty turvaamaan suurkaupunkien taloudelliset ja ympäristölliset tavoitteet. Kestävän kehityksen sosiaalinen ulottuvuus on usein rajattu kaupunkien tarjoamiin sosiaalipalveluihin.- Ympäristön säilyttäminen tuleville sukupolville ei onnistu vain talouteen, ympäristöön ja palveluihin kohdistuvilla teknisillä toimilla. Tämä johtuu etelän suurkaupungeille tyypillisestä räikeästä sosiaalisesta eriarvoisuudesta. Suurkaupunkien suunnittelussa tulisi analysoida sellaisia sosiaalisia haasteita, jotka heikentävät kaupunkie…
Edukacja zrównoważonego rozwoju wobec wyzwań społeczeństwa XXI wieku
2017
Idea zrównoważonego rozwoju w dobie permanentnego postępu technologicznego i cywilizacyjnego z jednej strony i braku poszanowania środowiska naturalnego z drugiej powoduje, że edukacja młodego pokolenia w XXI wieku ma szczególną rolę do spełnienia. Edukacja na rzecz zrównoważonego rozwoju, aby osiągnęła zamierzony efekt, potrzebuje holistycznego rozumienia środowiska jako układu stosunków ekologicznych, ekonomicznych i społeczno-kulturowych, w otoczeniu których egzystuje młody człowiek-uczeń. W opracowaniu wskazano zadania dla nauczycieli, którzy mają prowadzić świadomą edukację zgodnie z ideą zrównoważonego rozwoju. Dokonano również analizy podstawy programowej obowiązującej w różnych typa…

Re-Inhabiting Inner Areas Triggering New Regeneration Trajectories: The Case Study of Sicani in Sicily
2022
The Italian debate on the so-called ‘inner areas’ has received a much-needed boost, following the COVID-19 pandemic, which has further highlighted the differences between metropolitan and inner areas. While the progressive depopulation of inner areas is a worrying phenomenon, the limits of incessant urbanisation and the concentration of settlement and infrastructure policies in large conurbations have become evident. Departing from the framework of the B4R-Branding4Resilience research project of national interest and, by continuing in the furrow initiated by the SNAI, but also surpassing it, the aim of the University of Palermo’s research is to define the requirement for a…
THROUGH CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY TO GLOBAL COMPETITIVENESS FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
2013
The goal of sustainable development is one of the most actual and stringent desideratum equally declaimed and assumed nowadays at all of the society’s levels – by individuals (politicians, academics, and civil society militants), organizations (firms as well as non-for-profit organizations of any kind) and authorities (local, national, regional, global). This goal offers to each one of them the opportunity to act responsible (through corporate social responsibility policies and practices developed by their management) but also the threat of falling into the trap of not reaching the global (sustainable) competitiveness that each one of them dreams about; so, it depends only on each and all o…
Circular economy and agritourism: a sustainable behavioral model for tourists and farmers in the post-COVID era.
2023
Introduction: In recent years, issues related to environmental and ecosystem protection have been given greater consideration than in the past. The goal of adopting sustainable development models is vigorously pursued in the European Union and is reflected concretely in the new Common Agricultural Policy 20232027. The circular economy can certainly be an emerging economic response that can eectively replace growth models centered on a linear view. Agriculture and tourism are two crucial sectors where the “green transition” should be encouraged to help achieve sustainability goals through economic circularity. Agritourism’s activity may be relevant in contributing to a behavioral change based…
Stormwater Source Control as a Strategy for Sustainable Development: State of the Practice and Perceived Trends

The primary objective of the paper is to draw upon the experiences acquired in many parts of the world to provide an up-to-date summary of the state of the practice for source control techniques and approaches, in a sustainable development context. After a discussion of the prevailing context for urban drainage approaches, three main themes covering techniques and design criteria, institutional aspects and performance issues are discussed relative to source control implementation. The discussion is based on findings from the compilation and analysis of available literature, recently developed databases, the experience of the different members of the SOCOMA group and recent research on desig…
