Book excerpt: Este livro deriva de meu estudo de mestrado no PPGA/UFSC, sob a orientação do professor Dr. Hans Michael van Bellen, que realizei em duas indústrias têxteis de Santa Catarina, com o objetivo de conhecer alguns resultados alcançados e suas variações após a implementação da Norma ISO 14001 em seus processos de gestão ambiental. Nesse cenário, as empresas aprendem com os problemas e passam a ver com eles oportunidades de aprendizagem, de mudança, adequação, acomodação, sempre se preparando para novos desafios. Santa Catarina é um polo têxtil, e as indústrias desse setor têm buscado adotar ferramentas de gestão que possibilitem a redução ou eliminação dos impactos gerados. Nesse novo cenário, decorrente de muitas mudanças exigidas pela lei, pelo público que participa, pelo avanço da globalização em nossos rincões, as grandes indústrias buscam não somente a correção dos processos como também a antecipação e preparo para novas leis que possam surgir. A gestão ambiental incorpora modernas práticas de gerenciamento à uma atuação empresarial responsável, baseada em parâmetros do desenvolvimento sustentável. Sob o ponto de vista histórico, são três os principais fatores ou paradigmas a mudarem a gestão das organizações nesses últimos 70 anos: 1) o desenvolvimento de tecnologias da informação hoje a indústria 4.0; 2) a expansão da economia de mercado; e 3) a questão ambiental e seu SGS – sistema de gestão ambiental.

A relação entre estes elementos, ambiente, sociedade e indústria permeia discussões econômicas em todos os setores do mercado. Em função da magnitude da crise ambiental a pressão da sociedade civil sobre as indústrias vem aumentando com o tempo. A sociedade está cada vez mais atenta, cobrando resultados quanto aos impactos ambientais causados pelas indústrias. Neste cenário, surgiu a norma ISO 14001 uma nova ferramenta de gestão ambiental padronizada em âmbito mundial. Santa Catarina é um pólo têxtil, e as indústrias desse setor têm buscado adotar ferramentas de gestão que possibilitem a redução ou eliminação de impactos gerados. A norma ISO 14001 é um sistema de gestão ambiental que cria metas, assume compromissos com a comunidade em que se insere, trabalha com controle, índices, métodos, planejamento e prevenção. Conhecer o resultado da implantação desta norma pode fornecer subsídios para melhoria das relações da organização para com a sociedade, além de auxiliar na busca de alternativas para reduzir seus impactos. Assim, este estudo buscou verificar a variação do impacto ambiental decorrente da implantação da norma ISO 14001 em duas indústrias têxteis do norte do estado de Santa Catarina. Para responder a esse objetivo optou-se por um delineamento de cunho exploratório-descritivo, do tipo estudo multi casos. As categorias de análise utilizadas nesse trabalho foram a variação dos impactos gerados pelos efluentes sólidos, líquidos e gasosos. A coleta de dados, dos tipos primários e secundários, foi realizada através de questionários e entrevistas semi-estruturadas e por meio de análise documental. A análise dos dados foi feita pelo agrupamento das informações coletadas junto aos entrevistados, com foco no processo fabril e na deposição dos efluentes, na perspectiva qualitativa e quantitativa. Verificou-se ao final deste estudo que as organizações analisadas passaram a ter um maior controle sobre seus efluentes, mais poder de barganha junto aos comitês e uma grande agilidade para o sistema de gestão após a implantação da norma ISO 14001, que de maneira direta ou não podem provocar alterações em seus impactos ambientais.

Book excerpt: Por muitos anos o homem degradou o meio em que habita, porém atualmente, esta postura tem sido modificada em função da busca pelo desenvolvimento sustentável, que acaba norteando muitas das iniciativas de gestão ambiental. Dentro deste contexto, as organizações privadas têm sofrido fortes pressões, sobretudo pelo mercado, a adequar a forma de gerenciar seus processos de gestão a sistemas estruturados a partir de normas e programas internacionais. Frente a estas transformações, a certificação pelas normas ISO-14001 e a implantação de Programas como o de Produção Mais Limpa tem significado um diferencial de competitividade, garantindo, ao mesmo tempo, uma maior lucratividade para as empresas e o atendimento às exigências do mercado nacional e internacional. Com o intuito de suprir a falta de dados referentes ao setor privado quanto à preocupação ambiental em Santa Catarina, esta pesquisa tem como objetivo mapear o setor no estado através de uma análise dos seus sistemas de gestão Ambiental - ISO-14001 e Programa Produção Mais Limpa - utilizados. Como critérios de avaliação do perfil das organizações foram utilizados: ramo de atividade, porte e região onde está localizada cada organização. Com um complexo industrial significativo, Santa Catarina apareceu como 5® colocada no ranking das certificações brasileiras. Como era de se esperar, o perfil das empresas certificadas foi de empresas na sua maioria de grande porte, principalmente do setor têxtil, exportadoras tradicionais e com históricos de muitas premiações na área ambiental. Quanto à Produção Mais Limpa, o perfil apareceu diferente: empresas de pequeno e médio porte, sendo 45% do total do setor alimentício e 27% metal-mecânico. No tocante à localização o resultado foi bastante variado, sendo a região do Vale do Itajaí e Norte do Estado as mais freqüentes. Apesar dos resultados encontrados, não há muito o que comemorar, a consciência ambiental das organizações ainda é pequena e os sistemas de gestão ambiental ainda são vistos, muitas vezes, como um fim e não como um meio para a busca real do tão esperado desenvolvimento sustentável.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Demands on the construction industry are changing, and it is now virtually essential for environmental management to be considered at all stages of a project. Many construction managers are finding a quantitative approach useful, and this book outlines four quantitative methods which can be applied at different construction stages, and which fit within a comprehensive framework of dynamic Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA). These include: a method to quantitatively evaluate and reduce pollution and hazards levels a method to evaluate the environmental-consciousness of proposed construction plans a method to reduce on-site construction wastes through an incentive reward programme a method to promote C and D waste exchange in the local construction industry. With an experimental case study of the application of these methods, this book delivers a comprehensive review of environmental management issues in construction. With regulatory requirements potentially favouring the quantitative approach, this timely guide ensures that contractors will be able to keep pace with environmental management standards.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A unified framework for analyzing urban sustainability in terms of cities' inflows and outflows of matter and energy. Urbanization and globalization have shaped the last hundred years. These two dominant trends are mutually reinforcing: globalization links countries through the networked communications of urban hubs. The urban population now generates more than eighty percent of global GDP. Cities account for enormous flows of energy and materials—inflows of goods and services and outflows of waste. Thus urban environmental management critically affects global sustainability. In this book, Paulo Ferrão and John Fernández offer a metabolic perspective on urban sustainability, viewing the city as a metabolism, in terms of its exchanges of matter and energy. Their book provides a roadmap to the strategies and tools needed for a scientifically based framework for analyzing and promoting the sustainability of urban systems. Using the concept of urban metabolism as a unifying framework, Ferrão and Fernandez describe a systems-oriented approach that establishes useful linkages among environmental, economic, social, and technical infrastructure issues. These linkages lead to an integrated information-intensive platform that enables ecologically informed urban planning. After establishing the theoretical background and describing the diversity of contributing disciplines, the authors sample sustainability approaches and tools, offer an extended study of the urban metabolism of Lisbon, and outline the challenges and opportunities in approaching urban sustainability in both developed and developing countries.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Post-structuralism is recognised as a major force within literary and cultural studies. This book is the first to apply the theory to politics and to show the ways in which it can illuminate political theory and analysis. As such it is likely to become a key text in the development of this area, providing a stimulating introduction to the subject. Authors explore the two-way relationship, showing not only that post-structuralism can enhance the study of politics, but also that advocates of post-structuralism can benefit from being open to the lessons political studies can teach. The book aims to* Clarify the relationship of contemporary theory to politics* Open up a new intellectual interface* Create a space for exchange between disciplines* Provide a statement of the role of post-structuralist theory in politicsCovering three main sections - What is Post-structuralist Political Theory?; Post-structuralism and Political Analysis; and The Question of the Political - the authors draw on themes raised by Continental thinkers such as Derrida, Nancy and Deleuze, and Anglo-American thinkers such as Butler and Connolly in their questioning of the theoretical and empirical understanding of contemporary politics.Key Features:* First systematic examination of post-structuralism to see what it may mean for political studies* Advances its own rigorous and theoretically informed position* Cutting edge: provides a vibrant introduction to this area of political thought and analysis* Brings clarity to the two-way relationship between post-structuralism and politics

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Large, modern cities have effectively declared their independence from nature. But while they take up only three percent of the world’s land surface, their ecological footprints actually cover the entire globe. Humanity is building an urban future, yet urban resource use is threatening the future of humanity and the natural world. To meet the aspirations of city people in both developing and developed countries, bold new initiatives are needed. Modern cities are an astonishing human achievement. As centres of innovation they are humanity’s cultural playgrounds. Their communication and transport systems have developed a global reach. They are attractive to investors because they can offer a vast variety of services at comparatively low per-capita costs. But are they viable as ecological systems? The planning of new cities, as well as the retrofit of existing cities, needs to undergo a profound paradigm shift. Mere 'sustainable development' is not enough. To be compatible with natural systems, cities need to move away from linear systems of resource use and learn to operate as closed-loop, circular systems. To ensure their long-term future, they need to develop an environmentally enhancing, restorative relationship between themselves and the natural systems on which they still depend. Creating Regenerative Cities is a concise, solution-oriented manual for creating regenerative urbanisation. A wide range of technical, management and policy solutions already exist, but implementation has been too slow and too little, in large part because the kinds of holistic approaches needed are still unfamiliar to fragmented and process-driven urban policy making and governance. Herbert Girardet's 30 years’ experience as an ecologist, thinker, film maker and consultant working around the world has created this unique combination of tried and tested best practices and policies, which outlines the fundamental shifts needed in the way we think about our cities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most books on waterfronts deal with a relatively narrow collection of cities and projects; one might describe them as the 'top ten' list of waterfront revitalisation projects. For instance, Boston and Baltimore are now the stuff of waterfront redevelopment legend. Waterfronts in Post-Industrial Cities is a second generation waterfront publication which reflects on recent and contemporary developments. Amsterdam, Boston, Genoa, Sydney and Vancouver are successful examples of cities that faced considerable challenges in their revitalisation efforts. Bilbao, Havana, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and Shanghai are contemporary examples that represent the emerging contexts for waterfront revitalisation today. Four themes form the basis of this book and provide a structure for considering particular aspects of waterfront redevelopment - connection to the waterfront, remaking the city image on the waterfront, port and city relations and the new waterfronts in historic cities. Broad issues that might be applicable to a variety of situations are dealt with alongside specific city case studies.
