This book was released on 2006 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Die Ingenieurökologie als Anwendung der Prinzipien der Ökologie in Technik, Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft setzt sich im nationalen und internationalen Rahmen immer mehr durch, weil die natürlichen und finanziellen Grenzen der Umweltnachsorge und des rein technischen Umganges mit Naturressourcen immer deutlicher zutage treten. In 15 Beiträgen aus den Bereichen Wasserreinigung, Hochwasserschutz, Gewässerrenaturierung, Stoffstrommanagement und ökologisches Bauen wird erläutert, wie «Gratisleistungen» der Natur gezielt zur Verringerung von Belastungen der menschlichen Umwelt sowie zur eigendynamischen Regeneration geschädigter Ökosysteme genutzt werden können. Dabei wird ein weiter methodischer Bogen von der Mikrobiologie über den naturnahen Wasserbau und die Modellierung von Stoffflüssen bis hin zu rechtlichen Betrachtungen gespannt.
Book Synopsis Performative Urbanism by : Sophie Wolfrum
Download or read book Performative Urbanism written by Sophie Wolfrum and published by Jovis Verlag. This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The concept of relational space in urbanism'understanding the space of the city as produced by society'is connected with an understanding of architecture unfolding in situations. Urban space is induced by architecture, space is produced while experiencing architecture within a situation. There is a dialectical interplay between architectonic material (intra-architectonic reality) and usage and action (urban reality). Thus, an architectonic situation can be interpreted as performative in the sense of performativity as it has emerged in the discourse over the last decade. The everyday urban life of the city, with all its potential and conflicts, is taken into consideration. Analyzing the urban is not enough. This discourse is about Urban Design. Is architectural design one part, and the actualization of architecture in a performative incident another? Does Urban Design need different practices?

Book Synopsis Sustainability Assessment Tools in Higher Education Institutions by : Sandra Caeiro
Download or read book Sustainability Assessment Tools in Higher Education Institutions written by Sandra Caeiro and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-11-19 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contributes to debates on current sustainability practices, with a focus on assessment tools as applied in higher education institutions. These institutions are challenged to carry out management, research, and teaching, and to create settings that allow developing new competencies to address the complex global environmental, social, cultural, and economic pressures with which current and future generations are confronted. The first chapters discuss issues of sustainability in higher education, namely the role of universities in promoting sustainability and the emergent fields of sustainability science and education for sustainable development and how to integrate and motivate sustainability into the university. Subsequent chapters present examples of sustainability assessment tools specifically developed for higher education institutions, such as the AISHE – Auditing Instrument for Sustainability in Higher Education, the GASU – Graphical Assessment of Sustainability in Universities too, the STAUNCH – Sustainability tool for Auditing Universities Curricula in Higher Education. The use of other integrated tools are also presented. The papers have adopted a pragmatic approach, characterized by conceptual descriptions, including sustainability assessment and reorienting the curricula, on the one hand, and practical experiences on the other, with good practices from different edges of the world. Sustainability Assessment Tools in Higher Education Institutions will be of interest to graduate student, lecturers, researchers, and those setting university policy.

Book Synopsis Universities as Living Labs for Sustainable Development by : Walter Leal Filho
Download or read book Universities as Living Labs for Sustainable Development written by Walter Leal Filho and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-04-30 with total page 862 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book fills an important gap in the literature, and presents contributions from scientists and researchers working in the field of sustainable development who have engaged in dynamic approaches to implementing sustainability in higher education. It is widely known that universities are key players in terms of the implementation and further development of sustainability, with some having the potential of acting as “living labs” in this rapidly growing field. Yet there are virtually no publications that explore the living labs concept as it relates to sustainability, and in an integrated manner. The aims of this book, which is an outcome of the “4th World Symposium on Sustainable Development at Universities” (WSSD-U-2018), held in Malaysia in 2018, are as follows: i. to document the experiences of universities from all around the world in curriculum innovation, research, activities and practical projects as they relate to sustainable development at the university level; ii. to disseminate information, ideas and experiences acquired in the execution of projects, including successful initiatives and good practice; iii. to introduce and discuss methodological approaches and projects that seek to integrate the topic of sustainable development in the curricula of universities; and iv. to promote the scalability of existing and future models from universities as living labs for sustainable development. The papers are innovative, cross-cutting and many reflect practice-based experiences, some of which may be replicable elsewhere. Also, this book, prepared by the Inter-University Sustainable Development Research Programme (IUSDRP) and the World Sustainable Development Research and Transfer Centre (WSD-RTC), reinforces the role played by universities as living labs for sustainable development.
Book Synopsis The Contribution of Social Sciences to Sustainable Development at Universities by : Walter Leal Filho
Download or read book The Contribution of Social Sciences to Sustainable Development at Universities written by Walter Leal Filho and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-01-06 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is the first of its kind to present contemporary, state-of-the-art examples of how social science theories, models, and findings can advance all aspects of campus sustainability, an area that has so far been largely neglected. The individual chapters reflect the broad diversity of research on sustainable campus development conducted within and across basic and applied social science disciplines, drawing on a range of methods and case studies from around the world. Institutions of higher education have been among the leading promoters of sustainable development. However, efforts to transition to sustainability have been largely dominated by technological “solutions” and universities and colleges are increasingly recognizing that this transition cannot be achieved without attention to the human dimension. Administrators, campus sustainability officers and other university staff, faculty members and students, as well as alumni and external constituents all help to shape which sustainability innovations and initiatives are considered and pursued, and their participation determines the ultimate success of sustainability efforts. The book’s individual contributions illustrate how the social sciences can broaden visions of what may be possible, identify the advantages and disadvantages of different instrumental and emancipator approaches, evaluate interventions’ effectiveness, and offer processes for learning from mistakes and successes in ways that support continuous advances toward sustainability. Given that the majority of social science research stems from universities, the level of trust in these institutions, and their mission to develop societal leaders, higher education institutions are ideally suited for testing, assessing and modeling the social innovations needed to achieve sustainability on campuses and beyond.
