Abstract:

This research examines the sustainability of private sector participation in urban service delivery in developing countries. The solid waste collection service in Dar es Salaam – Tanzania was used as a case study. Municipalities in Tanzania have not been able to cope with the rapid generation rate of solid waste coupled by the rapid urbanization. This resulted in a relatively large quantity of solid waste remaining poorly managed and uncollected, which left an obvious gap for other stakeholders to participate in service provision. The private sector took the opportunity, in the early 1960s, to

Abstract:

This study inquires as to whether Walmart's sustainability campaign represents a sincere and holistic change throughout the company's global supply chain or if it is simply a public relations campaign which caters to the growing target market of “next-generation” consumers and justifies further expansion into “emerging markets”. A critical analysis of Walmart's sustainability discourse is presented, using transcribed texts of various corporate and publicity-geared publications. Frequently utilized terms and themes are identified throughout the big-box retailer's sustainability campaign whi

Abstract:

This thesis provides a thorough definition of corporate branding, including its benefits when used as a strategic marketing tool. There are many who believe that the logo of a corporation is its brand. However, the logo is only one interpretation of the brand. The brand is the corporation's ethos. It is the fundamental character or spirit of the corporation. It is an expression of who the corporation is. It is the essence that links the corporation's product or service with its consumer through loyalty and emotional attachments. Corporations use various processes and methodologies when they be

Abstract:

Sustainability has been framed by the World Commission on Environment and Development as a fundamental concept in human society and by Fiorino (2010) as a critical conceptual focus for public administration over the next decade. A large number of U.S. local governments have implemented sustainability initiatives. Nevertheless, relatively few studies have comprehensively examined sustainability implementation by local governments. This study makes a concerted effort to examine sustainability implementation in U.S. local governments, which have taken the lead in many areas of sustainability.

International trade has also often been used as a means to increase the economic standing of an impoverished country.

Abstract:

Environmental citizenship is positioned as a platform where the rights of social and environmental justice converge with civic engagement and responsibility. As industrialized economies continue to exhaust the limits of finite natural resources and exacerbate conditions of global climate change, scholars have questioned if environmental citizenship models offer a method for deepening obligations to a sustainable movement. In the material culture enjoyed by Western civilizations, existing research supports that an individual's purchases are seen as an indicator of their values and identities.

Abstract:

En conservation-restauration, les comblements des artefacts en plâtre sont fréquemment réalisés en raison de la fragilité de ce matériau. Afin de pallier les altérations produisant des instabilités structurelles et/ou visuelles et esthétiques, des matériaux non originaux sont appliqués : réalisés in situ par modelage de matière fraîche, ou par fixation d'une pièce mise en œuvre à part. En fonction des critères déontologiques et techniques, divers matériaux peuvent être utilisés. Afin de mieux les connaître, une étude a été menée en développant une méthodologie pluri-disciplinaire allant des te

Abstract:

Civil Engineering<br>Ph.D.<br>New windows are rated based on their energy performance during the use phase. This rating neglects the overall environmental impact caused by raw material extraction, manufacturing, maintenance and disposal. Due to the number of residential window replacements occurring today in the United States, there is a growing need to quantify the sustainability of window preservation as an alternative to window replacement. This study assessed the environmental impact of historic wood window restoration versus window replacement for the entire "cradle to grave" life cycle o

Abstract:

Introdução - No Brasil, o Programa Municipal de Coleta Seletiva (PMCS) pode ser executado pelo próprio município, por empresa contratada ou em parceria com uma organização de catadores. Mais de 50 por cento dos PMCS no Estado de São Paulo é realizado por essas organizações. Logo, a maioria dos estudos foca-se nessas organizações, mas os municípios que não possuem parceria também precisam ser estudados. Objetivo - Analisar e avaliar PMCS realizados sem parceria com organização de catadores, na perspectiva de sustentabilidade socioeconômica, ambiental e institucional. Métodos - Para esse estudo

Abstract:

Rapid urbanization brings an increasing pressure on current waste collection and transportation methods to cope with ever-increasing waste streams in urban environments. Pneumatic Waste Conveyance Systems or PWCS is often seen as an alternative for replacing open-handling of waste in narrow and congested town environments. This research intends to find out when, where and why such systems would be implemented, and the entirety of stationary PWCS implementation and usage is being investigated, from government, experts, developers, suppliers, system owners/ operators, users to the general publi

Abstract:

Adequate energy supply has become one of the vital components of human development and economic growth of nations. In fact, major components of the global economy such as transportation services, communications, industrial processes, and construction activities are dependent on adequate energy resources. Even mining and extraction of energy resources, including harnessing the forces of nature to produce energy, are dependent on accessibility of sufficient energy in the appropriate form at the desired location. Therefore, energy resource planning and management to provide appropriate energy in

Abstract:

Civilized culture is killing the planet. At present, we are facing the largest extinction event in 65 million years and the cause, according to most scholars, is "patently" human. My question, however, is not whether the mass destruction of the biosphere is the result of an unfortunate and misguided particularity within civilization (e.g., over consumption, driving too much, etc.), but rather: Is it the case that civilization, by its very nature, entails the destruction of the natural world and of both human and non-human communities? In the vein of a fairly recent movement in scholarship, my

Esta pesquisa foi realizada na Cidade de São Paulo, com o objetivo de identificar as dificuldades que os grupos de catadores autônomos que atuam com a coleta seletiva enfrentam para se inserirem no Programa de Coleta Seletiva da Prefeitura de São Paulo. A cidade de São Paulo gera diariamente 16 mil toneladas de resíduos e menos de 1% são destinados a coleta seletiva. Por outro lado esses grupos de catadores coletam resíduos pela cidade, informalmente, e estes resíduos não são computados pelo poder público.

Abstract:

O programa Coleta Seletiva Solidária, iniciado em 2003 pela Prefeitura de São Paulo e que prevê a realização da coleta seletiva domiciliar na cidade por meio de cooperativas de ex-catadores de materiais recicláveis subsidiadas pelo poder público, é sustentável em termos econômicos, sociais e ambientais? Embora a retórica em que se baseia esteja em sintonia com a matriz discursiva da sustentabilidade urbana - de uma forma geral e aplicada ao lixo - e com os preceitos da economia solidária, a iniciativa dispõe dos elementos e consegue alcançar os resultados que, na prática, podem garantir a sua
