Simus, Jason Boaz. "Disturbing Nature's Beauty: Environmental Aesthetics in a New Ecological Paradigm." Thesis, University of North Texas, 2009. https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc11008/.
Full textAbstract:
An ecological paradigm shift from the "balance of nature" to the "flux of nature" will change the way we aesthetically appreciate nature if we adopt scientific cognitivism-the view that aesthetic appreciation of nature must be informed by scientific knowledge. Aesthetic judgments are subjective, though we talk about aesthetic qualities as if they were objectively inherent in objects, events, or environments. Aesthetic judgments regarding nature are correct insofar as they are part of a community consensus regarding the currently dominant scientific paradigm. Ecological science is grounded in metaphors: nature is a divine order, a machine, an organism, a community, or a cybernetic system. These metaphors stimulate and guide scientific practice, but do not exist independent of a conceptual framework. They are at most useful fictions in terms of how they reflect the values underlying a paradigm. Contemporary ecology is a science driven more by aesthetic than metaphysical considerations. I review concepts in the history of nature aesthetics such as the picturesque, the sublime, disinterestedness, and formalism. I propose an analogy: just as knowledge of art history and theory should inform aesthetic appreciation of art, knowledge of natural history and ecological theory should inform aesthetic appreciation of nature. The "framing problem," is the problem that natural environments are not discrete objects, so knowing what to focus on in an environment is difficult. The "fusion problem" is the problem of how to fuse the sensory aspect of aesthetic appreciation with highly theoretical scientific knowledge. I resolve these two problems by defending a normative version of the theory-laden observation thesis. Positive aesthetics is the view that insofar as nature is untouched by humans, it is always beautiful and never ugly. I defend an amended and updated version of positive aesthetics that is consistent with the central elements of contemporary ecology, and emphasize the heuristic, exegetical, and pedagogical roles aesthetic qualities play in ecological science.

Pruss, Emmet J. "Environmental Values and Landscape Architecture: A New Ecological Paradigm Study." DigitalCommons@USU, 2017. https://digitalcommons.usu.edu/etd/6235.
Full textAbstract:
In recent decades, landscape design theory has been affected by an increase in pro-environmental values. Currently, concepts of ‘sustainability’ and ‘ecosystem services’ exert a strong influence. These concepts involve sustaining current human behaviors within the constraints of ecological limits and maintaining or enhancing the goods and services that humans receive from ecosystems, respectively. In this way, they are most characteristic of anthropocentric environmental worldviews with high degrees of concern for the instrumental values of ecosystems, which are indicative of shallow ecology.
Previous researchers have advanced theoretical characterizations of the environmental values of landscape architects in terms of environmental ethics. However, as of yet, no statistics-based model has been developed for this purpose. In order to advance such a model, and in the effort to further characterize the environmental values of landscape architects, two studies were performed. Both utilized data collected with the New Ecological Paradigm (revised-NEP) survey.
In the first study, a Shallow v. Deep Worldview model was used to characterize revised-NEP survey responses of landscape architecture students and alumni practitioners from Utah State University (USU) in terms of shallow or deep ecology. The results indicate that the groups exhibited essentially anthropocentric environmental values, which were characteristic of shallow ecology worldviews.
In the second study, the revised-NEP survey was used to assess the environmental worldviews of general education and landscape architecture students at USU. The results indicate that the landscape architecture students exhibited greater pro-environmental worldviews, which were correlated to differences in political orientation between the groups.
Overall, the results of the two studies support the notions that the study or practice of landscape architecture is correlated to greater pro-environmental values than are common for general higher education students, and that, in general, current landscape architecture students and practitioners exhibit environmental values that are characteristic of ecologically-concerned, yet essentially anthropocentric, shallow ecology worldviews.

Gentry, Terry A. "Sustainable Development in the Third World: A New Paradigm?" PDXScholar, 1995. https://pdxscholar.library.pdx.edu/open_access_etds/4905.
Full textAbstract:
Over the past decade '"Sustainable Development" (SD) has emerged as the latest development catchphrase. A wide range of nongovernmental as well as governmental organizations have embraced it as the new paradigm of development. A review of the literature that has sprung up around the concept of SD indicates, however, a lack of consistency in its interpretation. More important, while the all-encompassing nature of the concept gives it political strength, its current formulation by the mainstream of SD thinking contains significant weaknesses. These include an incomplete perception of the problems of poverty and environmental degradation, and confusion about the role of economic growth and about the concept of sustainability. The purpose of this study was to identify common elements in a political economy of the environment, relating environmental change to the dynamics of ideology and policy, and at different levels of political complexity. The intention was to provide a structural analysis of the environment in which the development process illuminates environmental change at both a philosophical and material level. The problem in achieving SD was related to the overriding structures of the international economic system, which have arisen out of the exploitation of environmental resources, and which frequently operate as constraints on the achievement of long-term sustainable practices. Insufficient accounting of ecological aspects of economic growth and development has resulted from intellectual traditions, where solutions are formulated, point in different directions. Conclusions are drawn that SD involves trade-offs between biological, economic and social systems and is found in the interactive zone between these systems. There are a number of international factors that may be necessary, but insufficient, conditions for SD on a national level, including peace, debt reduction, and more propitious terms of trade. There was seen dilemmas relating to SD, including the role of growth as the unquestioned objective of economic policy.

McMillan, Emily Elizabeth. "Environmental Attitudes of Homeschoolers in Canada." Thesis, Laurentian University of Sudbury, 2013. https://zone.biblio.laurentian.ca/dspace/handle/10219/2025.
Full textAbstract:
Environmental attitudes are shaped by a variety of factors including our educational history, cultural background, childhood and life experiences, and past and current interactions with nature. This research set out to examine attitudes toward the environment in an understudied but growing segment of the Canadian population, homeschoolers. The purposes of this study were to investigate whether environmental attitudes in Canadian homeschoolers differ from those of people involved with public school and to acquire a greater understanding of the factors that affect the development of these attitudes. The mixed method, follow-up explanatory research design utilized the New Ecological Paradigm Scale and the Connectedness to Nature Scale in an internet survey. The survey was sent to homeschooling and parent groups across Canada. Subsequently, interviews were conducted with a subsample of respondents.
The results of the survey showed that demographic variables were not significantly related to environmental attitude scores with the exception of locale and religion. Urban respondents had slightly stronger environmental attitudes than rural respondents. The confluence of homeschooling and religiosity emerged as the key factor influencing environmental attitudes. There was no significant difference between environmental attitudes of homeschoolers and public schoolers until importance of religion was taken into account. As measured by the scales, religious homeschoolers exhibited the weakest environmental attitudes, public schoolers were in the middle, and not-as-religious homeschoolers had the strongest environmental attitudes. The qualitative data supported these results, with religious homeschoolers expressing weaker
iv
environmental attitudes, particularly in terms of climate change and the need for a more sustainable lifestyle.
Religious homeschooling respondents favoured a more structured back to basics style of schooling which also correlated with lower environmental attitude scores. Unstructured homeschooling respondents tended to choose a child-centred philosophy of education which was correlated with stronger environmental attitudes.
During the interviews, respondents were asked to reflect on what in their lives had influenced their attitudes toward the environment. Consistent with other literature, unstructured outdoor time as a child remained the most significant factor, cited by a majority of respondents. Other important factors included religion, parents, school, teachers, TV/media, economic necessity, and negative experiences with environmental pollution.
The results of this study highlight the importance of considering variables associated with religion when exploring the development or level of environmental attitudes or when conducting a study of homeschooling. Religious beliefs are complex and highly personal in some cases, as is their corresponding influence on environmental concern. Potential exists for environmental concern and action from a group of spiritual people with strong community bonds and often political involvement. The key may be finding common ground and learning to communicate, while resisting expectations of complete agreement. This dissertation showed that stepping outside of the educational system does not necessarily have a direct impact on environmental attitudes, as they are mediated by a complex array of variables. Homeschooling may not directly generate a different level of environmental attitudes than public school; however, religious
v
homeschoolers definitely have a different set of attitudes toward the environment that deserve further in-depth study.

The 787 program is the latest airplane development program in Boeing Commercial Airplanes. In this program, many new business processes, including a new supply chain structure will be implemented. Based on my six-month internship in Boeing, this thesis will address two critical supply chain issues that the 787 program currently faces and offer recommendations. The two issues are as follows: * Boeing currently plays a very active role in managing the ordering and scheduling protocols for drop-shipped components. Drop-shipped components are parts that are ordered by Boeing but to be delivered to another supplier or subcontractors for installation and assembly. Current processes will not be adequate to handle the large amount of drop-shipped components in the 787 program. It is recommended that Boeing sets up a supplier portal to manage the interactions with and between partners. * Current non-compliance management processes for drop-shipped components are not efficient enough for the 787 program. To solve this problem, it is recommended that Boeing devotes dedicated resources to work with individual structural partners on their sites to facilitate managing the non-conformance processes.

King, Jessica Jane. "Ecologically Friendly Food Buying and Recycling: Environmental Attitudes and Behaviors in a Tennessee Survey." Digital Commons @ East Tennessee State University, 2011. https://dc.etsu.edu/etd/2257.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis focuses on pro-environmental attitudes and behaviors and the interactions between recycling behavior, food buying attitudes, food buying behaviors, and ecological beliefs. Following an introductory chapter, I present an article-length paper on recycling behavior to be submitted to Environment and Behavior. Data for this study came from a telephone survey of Tennessee residents (N=270). Using OLS regression analysis, I find that recycling behavior is significantly related to access to recycling facilities. I do not find a significant interaction effect between access to recycling facilities and willingness to recycle. I conclude by suggesting that pro-environmental policies need to make structural resources more available to all in order to promote recycling (and protect the environment in general). Positive attitudes alone do not get us very far. My additional thesis research goal of developing an accurate measure of ecological food buying attitudes and behaviors needs further work.

The way America thinks about and develops with water is not sustainable (Mouritz et. al. 2003). These thoughts and actions embody a paradigm that does not value ecological functions necessary to maintain water quality and quantity for future generations (Ahern et. al. 2010). Linear water infrastructure systems of collect, treat and convey lead to issues of flooding and contamination. These systems are reaching the end of their life span in American cities. Instead of replacing them using the current development approach, which treats water as a nuisance, this study argues for a new approach, developing with water as a resource; water-centric development. People have different perceptions regarding water resources and sustainability (Pahl-Wostl et. al. 2007). These perceptions affect the acceptance and support of public projects. Commonly, these perceptions are based upon people’s personal values and the immediate benefits they reap from the project. In order for communities to shift towards a water-centric development approach, demonstration projects must work to communicate the social value in the development’s hydrological functions (EPRI 2009). This project investigates emerging urban water management paradigms and synthesizes relevant knowledge to create a comprehensive new paradigm—New Urban Water Management (NUWM). This project focuses specifically on landscape architecture’s role in catalyzing the adoption of NUWM in Kansas City by applying the paradigm as a design approach to water-centric urban development. This approach employs environmental psychology strategies to append “Motivational Aspects” to the traditional social, ecological and economical aspects of sustainable development. The methodology provides the steps and tools for designers to apply the design approach. A three part design model of 1. Hydrologic Function 2. Social Amenity, and 3. Personal Relevance guide designers in developing water infrastructure systems as social amenities that objectively connect ecological functions with personal relevance. Washington Square Park in Kansas City, Missouri functions as a case study in the application of the design approach.

Smith, Jordan W. "Utah Off-Highway Vehicle Owners' Specialization and Its Relationship to Environmental Attitudes and Motivations." DigitalCommons@USU, 2008. https://digitalcommons.usu.edu/etd/40.
Full textAbstract:
Off-Highway Vehicle (OHV) use has grown enormously on Utah’s public lands and is one of the most contentious and difficult issues for federal, state, and local land management agencies to address and provide for. Despite OHV use’s meteoric rise in popularity and its ongoing public conflicts, little is known about OHV recreationists. This thesis develops a typology that identifies within-activity differences related to recreation specialization; it also determines differences in OHV owners’ environmental attitudes and motivations. Findings show Utah’s owners comprise a range of use along the recreation specialization continuum. Results also indicate that an OHV owners’ specialization level is not a significant determinant of either their environmental attitude or four out of the seven given motivations for participation in the activity. Specialization is, however, directly correlated to three specific motivation domains: achievement/stimulation, independence, and meeting new people. Overall, the recreation specialization framework, broadly interpreted, was successfully utilized to develop a typology of use which can inform resource management decisions.

Full textAbstract:
For millennia, scions have been grafted onto dwarfing apple rootstocks to reduce final tree size. However, it is unclear how scion architecture is first modified by the dwarfing apple rootstock, the time from grafting when this occurs and the endogenous hormonal signalling mechanisms that may cause the initial modifications in growth that then define the future architecture of the scion. In this study, the dwarfing (M.9) rootstock significantly decreased the mean total shoot length and node number of ‘Royal Gala’ apple scions by the end of the first year of growth from grafting when compared with rootstock(s) of greater vigour (MM.106, M.793 and a ‘Royal Gala’ rootstock control). Similarly, the auxin transport inhibitor 1-N-naphthylphthalamic acid (NPA) applied to the stem of vigorous rootstocks significantly decreased mean total shoot length and node number of the scion, and the architectural changes imposed were generally similar to those imposed by M.9. For example, both treatments decreased the mean length and node number of the primary shoot, reduced the formation of secondary axes on the primary shoot and caused a greater proportion of primary and secondary shoots (if present) to terminate growth early. Decreased formation of secondary axes imposed by both treatments was reversed by applying the cytokinin benzylaminopurine (BAP) repeatedly to the scion, whilst applications of gibberellins (GA4+7) reduced the proportion of primary and secondary shoots that terminated growth early, therefore increasing the final mean length and node number of these shoot types. Both M.9 and NPA also significantly decreased the final mean dry mass and length of the root system. Given these general similarities, it is proposed that the basipetal IAA signal is of central importance in rootstock-induced scion dwarfing, and that a shoot/root/shoot signalling mechanism may exist whereby the stem tissue of the M.9 rootstock decreases the basipetal transport of IAA to the root during summer, thereby decreasing root growth and the amount of rootproduced cytokinin and gibberellin transported to scion. Reduced amounts of cytokinin transported to the scion may decrease branching, whilst reduced amounts of gibberellins may decrease the duration for which a large proportion of primary and secondary shoots grow. Analysis of endogenous hormones for newly grafted composite ‘Royal Gala’ apple trees on rootstocks of different vigour provided some additional support for these ideas. It is recommended that future studies elucidate what unique properties of the M.9 bark act to restrict IAA transport, whilst it is concluded that gene(s) regulating rootstock-induced scion dwarfing are likely to control processes within the rootstock that modify the metabolism of IAA, its basipetal transport and the subsequent synthesis of root-produced vigour-inducing hormones including cytokinins and gibberellins.

Cummings, Dean. "Television news construction in converging environments : emerging paradigms and methodologies." Thesis, University of Sheffield, 2013. http://etheses.whiterose.ac.uk/3727/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines the difference made to local television news production by the introduction of convergence and changes in production methodology. By considering the change in the technique of production from the traditional method, in which individuals were trained in a specific craft, to the present climate, where individuals are required to carry out a number of tasks, it contributes to the discussion of the impact of advancements in technology and various forms of convergence upon journalism. The research is based on an ethnographic study I completed between 2006-2010 in the United States at two separate local television news stations. During the ethnographic study I conducted interviews with external and internal participants in the news production process. I also observed how the news organizations were utilizing similar production techniques. From the archives of WKYC-TV, one of the news organizations in the ethnographic study, a textual analysis was conducted from a sampling of news stories from the 1970s to the present day. As a framework for analysis, grounded theory method was used to analyse the qualitative date from the case studies and ethnographic findings. This method was chosen to minimize implicit or explicit assumptions made prior to and during the ethnographic study. I was aware of explicit assumptions, based on current research, that technology is changing the final product presented to the audience (Farhi, 2002: 5) (Kolodzy, 2006: 15), (Hemmingway 2005: 8-26), and, in terms of newspapers converging with television news organizations, that they are creating new multi-media products (Dupagne et al., 2006: 247-249), (Patterson et al., 2008: 99-105). Unless the research text is practitioner- 2 based (Boyd-Hinds, 1995), (Machin et al., 2006), (Medoff, 2007:15-38), the majority of research also reflects implicit assumptions that specialized craftspeople provide support to journalists but do not make independent decisions. Grounded theory does not start with a hypothesis; I chose not to make any assumptions and tried to avoid any prejudices before I attempted the fieldwork of this study. To help facilitate the study, I attempted to be critical of my methodology in both the context of discovery and the context of validation. The quantitative research of the finished news stories was conducted without any hypothesis, but the gathering of data was conducted with specific variables used for comparisons. This study finds that the differences in tasks or technological advancement do not change the fundamental method of how a local television story is produced, nor does technology change the structure of the finished product. These issues are particularly relevant to local television news journalists and management when they discuss how the future of their industry may be affected by the changes in production methodologies. While there may be speculation about journalistic objectivity and production quality based on the new model, this study focuses primarily on the impact of the change in production methods and upon the ability of local television news organizations to complete the daily tasks of journalism. These core questions are conceptualized within the thesis by reference to relevant dimensions of production and business, and interpreted in the terms of an ethnographic study.

Favelas of Rio de Janeiro have been historically elaborated as deforestation, risk areas, poverty and violence, problems that affect 'the marvellous city'. Through history therefore, these were the meanings imposed to favelas by public policies. However, and against all odds, selected favelas were discovered by tourists, just before the Earth Summit - Eco 92, the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development, based in Rio. Between 1990 and 2000, these favelas consolidated as tourist attractions competing with Corcovado and Sugar loaf. The controversial visits were accused of being 'poverty safaris' or 'poverty zoos'. In the 2000s, the State recognized these areas as tourist attractions and stimulated the commercialization of favelas in the context of megaevents, which came with urbanization policies such as the Growth Acceleration Program (PAC) and Carioca Living (Morar Carioca), and a new public security policy the Pacifying Police Units (UPP). The social version of these projects has put tourism on the agenda. Consultants, analysts and technicians were hired to carry out studies of potentialities and capacities of favela residents to undertake tourism business which expanded and crossed the borders of the southern zone, reaching the centre, north and west of the city, in smaller proportions. While it spread, this tourism specialized and differentiated itself. Tourists could find the most diverse experiences in favelas, from the local gastronomy, museums, art gallery, to luxurious lodgings, parties and funk dances, that gathered cariocas and tourists in expensive spaces inside favelas. This expansion / transformation came to be perceived as a problem. The increase of economic value inside favelas areas began to reach those who could no longer remain in these places. The most diverse movements of resistance appeared, from those that go against the tourism in favelas, to those who want to be part, but in its way. In this context, I have found proposals for community-based tourism that have gained strength in local discourse as an alternative to mass tourism, and ecotourism proposals, combining elements of community-based tourism with preservation of the environment. Thus, with the theoretical framework of the New Mobility Paradigm (Sheller and Urry, 2006, 2016) and the phenomenon of the traveling favela (Freire-Medeiros, 2013), I analysed community-based tourism and ecotourism initiatives, seeking to understand their origins and proposals of an alliance between tourism and the environment. For that, I performed a multisited ethnography, where I moved through the expansion of tourism in Rio de Janeiro favelas in the context of megaevents. Throughout the research, I noticed that tourism and the networks it mobilizes have put in dispute new meanings for the favelas, and in the specific case of this thesis, the anti-ecological favela contestation. Thus, I present the various speeches of State, consultants, analysts and local entrepreneurs who mobilized for or by the expansion of tourism in favelas reflected on the past, present and future of favelas.
As favelas do Rio de Janeiro foram historicamente elaboradas como desmatadoras, áreas de risco, lócus da pobreza e violência, problemas que acometem 'a cidade maravilhosa'. Através da história, esses foram os significados impressos às favelas através de políticas públicas. No entanto, na contramão do que se podia esperar, seletas favelas foram descobertas pelos turistas, as vésperas da Eco 92, Conferência das Nações Unidas sobre Meio Ambiente e Desenvolvimento, sediada no Rio em 1992. Entre os anos 1990 e 2000, essas favelas se consolidaram como atrativos turísticos da cidade, concorrendo inclusive com Corcovado e Pão de Açúcar. As polêmicas visitas foram pauta de matérias jornalísticas e apelidadas como 'safari da pobreza' ou 'zoológico de pobres'. Nos anos 2000, o Estado passou a reconhecer essas áreas como atrativos e ainda a estimular a comercialização turística das favelas no contexto dos megaeventos, o que foi acompanhado por novas políticas de urbanização como o Programa de Aceleração do Crescimento (PAC) e o Morar Carioca, e novas políticas de segurança pública como as Unidades de Polícia Pacificadora (UPP). A versão social desses projetos colocou o turismo em pauta. Consultores, analistas e técnicos foram contratados para realizar estudos de potencialidades e capacitações para moradores de favelas empreenderem, dentre outras áreas, no turismo, que se expandiu e atravessou as fronteiras da zona sul, chegando ao centro, zona norte e zona oeste da cidade, em menores proporções. Ao mesmo tempo que se espalhou, esse turismo especializou-se e diferenciou-se. O turista passou a encontrar as mais diversas experiências em favelas, desde a gastronomia local, museus, galeria de arte, albergues e hospedagens mais luxuosas, até às festas e a volta de seletos bailes funk, que passaram a reunir cariocas e turistas em espaços mais elitizados e caros. Algumas favelas passaram a ver nessa expansão / transformação um problema. A valorização econômica da favela passou a atingir aqueles que não conseguiam mais se manter neste local e acompanhar as mudanças. Apareceram os mais diversos movimentos de resistência, desde aqueles que vão contra o turismo em favelas, aos que querem fazer parte, mas a seu modo. Neste contexto, encontrei propostas de turismo de base comunitária que ganharam força no discurso local como alternativa ao turismo de massa, e propostas de ecoturismo, aliando elementos do turismo de base comunitária a preservação do meio ambiente. Assim, tendo como referencial teórico o Paradigma das Novas Mobilidades (Sheller e Urry, 2006, 2016) e o fenômeno da traveling favela (Freire-Medeiros, 2013) analisei as iniciativas de turismo de base comunitária e ecoturismo, buscando compreender suas origens e propostas de aliança entre turismo e meio ambiente. Para tanto, realizei uma etnografia multissituada, onde me movi pela expansão do turismo em favelas cariocas no contexto dos megaeventos. Ao longo das pesquisas, percebi que o turismo e as redes que mobiliza, colocaram em disputa novos significados paras as favelas, e no, caso especifico desta tese, a contestação da favela antiecológica. Assim, apresento os diversos discursos de representantes do Estado, consultores, analistas e empreendedores locais que mobilizados para ou pela expansão do turismo em favelas refletiram sobre passado, presente e o futuro das favelas.

Même si la littérature présente de nombreux ouvrages qui analysent le système de gestion environnementale (SME) au niveau de l'organisation, très peu mettent l'accent sur la qualité de l'intégration de ce système (toutes les pratiques environnementales intégrées), la qualité analysée à travers les facteurs qui l'influencent et caractérise également l'orientation de l'organisation pour les questions environnementales. Le but principal de la thèse de doctorat, c'est d'élaborer diverses méthodologies quantitatives et qualitatives, méthodes et outils de travail pour améliorer le processus de mise en oeuvre, l'intégration et le fonctionnement qui définissent le système de gestion de l'environnement au niveau de l'organisation. Pour atteindre l'objectif visé par la thèse, on a démarré une recherche, basée sur la méthode du questionnaire, sur un échantillon de plus de 70 organisations, principalement des organisations industrielles du secteur NE de la Roumanie, au niveau de 178 responsables. Les contributions théoriques et pratiques les plus importantes apportées sont les suivantes: (1) la clarification et la synthèse des facteurs potentiels les plus importants qui ont un caractère général et applicable pour toute organisation, des facteurs qui peuvent agir comme des " obstacles " dans le processus de mise en oeuvre du système de gestion environnementale (2) le développement et la proposition d'un modèle théorique SME - conformément à la norme ISO 14001, comme processus complexe, cette approche scientifique est unique et originale au niveau de la littérature spécialisée consultée; (3) le développement d'un cadre conceptuel et des méthodologies de recherche cohérentes qui permettent l'étude quantitative et qualitative de la relation entre l'orientation de l'organisation en matière de gestion de l'environnement et la qualité de la mise en oeuvre du SME, (4) le développement d'un modèle systématique pour améliorer le processus de prise de décision environnementale, (5) le développement d'une méthodologie d'enquête sur l'importance du système de connaissance de l'environnement, en raison de son influence sur la qualité de la prise de décision environnementale et d'une méthode simple pour quantifier le degré d'importance de ce système; (6) le développement de modèle montrant: (a) l'architecture de l'ensemble des influences entre les variables qui décrivent la mise en oeuvre du SME et de la qualité de l'intégration sous certaines conditions, (b) l'estimation des corrélations entre les facteurs spécifiques à l'orientation de l'organisation en ce qui concerne la gestion de l'environnement et la variabilité synthétique / globale qui définit la qualité de mise en oeuvre / intégration du EMS; (7) la proposition et le développement de solutions pratiques pour améliorer la qualité de la mise en oeuvre du SME et d'intégration au niveau des organisations du NE de la Roumanie; (8) le développement d'un cadre conceptuel et une méthodologie cohérente de recherche, qui donnent la possibilité d'évaluer l'amélioration de la mise en oeuvre du SME et la qualité de l'opération par la transformation de son architecture basée sur la paradigme de la philosophie fractaleAlthough the literature presents many works that analyze the Environmetal management system (EMS) at the organization level, very few focus on the quality of integration of this system (all integrated environmental practices), quality analyzed through the factors that influence it and also characterizes the organization's orientation to environmental issues. The main purpose of the doctoral theses it's to elaborate various quantitative and qualitative methodologies, methods and work tools to improve implementation, integration ans functioning process that define the Environmental Management System at the organizational level. In order to achieve the intended purpose of theses, it was conducted a research, based on questionnaire method, with a sample of over 70 organizations mainly industrial organization from N-E of Romania, at the level of 178 managers. Most important practical and theoretical contributions made, are: (1) clarification and the synthesis of the most important potential factors tant have a general character unaniously valid for any organization, factors that may act as a " barriers " in the implementing process of an Enviromental managmenent system; (2) development and proposal of EMS theoretical model - in accordance with ISO 14001, as a complex process; this scientific approach is unique and original in the specialized littrature level consulted; (3) development of a conceptual framework ans a coherent research methodologies that allow quantitative and qualitative study of the relationship between the organization orientation in environmental management issues and EMS implementation quality; (4) Development of a systematic model to improve environmental decision making process; (5) development of an investigation methodology of the environmental knowledge system importance due to its influence on the quality of the environmental decision and of a simple method to quantify the importance level of this system; (6) development of models showing: (a) architecture of all influences between variables that describe the organization's orientation regarding environmental management and variables that describe EMS implementation and integration quality under certain conditions; (b) estimation of correlations between organization's orientation synthetic variable/ global that defines EMS implementation/ integration quality; (7) proposal and development of practical solutions to improve the quality of EMS implementation and integration at N-E Romania organizations level; (8) development of a conceptual framework and a coherent research methodology, that allow possibility to evaluate improvement of EMS implementation and operation quality by transforming and adapting its architecture based on fractal philosophy paradigm

Full textAbstract:
The broad theme of this thesis is engineering decision-making. The various factors that shape technological development are investigated using the development of Sydney's sewerage system as a case study. The thesis focuses on various key decisions, past and present, including the choice of water-carriage technology for sewage collection, the selection of sewage treatment technologies, and on-going preference of engineers and bureaucrats for ocean disposal. Also covered are the legislative and regulatory mechanisms, the policies of the Sydney Water Board with regard to industrial waste disposal and the relationship between the Board and the public. A study was made of historical documents, engineering reports and papers, parliamentary debates, annual reports, minutes, newspaper reports and secondary sources and personal interviews were conducted. Various bodies of literature were referred to and used, including the books and articles on the history and sociology of engineers, the politics of expertise and public participation and the emerging discipline of science and technology studies. It is concluded that the development of Sydney's sewerage system has been shaped by social, political and economic factors and that engineers have played a pivotal role in the decisions made through their deliberate shaping of knowledge and the performance of predictions they have made for various options. The decisions made in this way have been defended against public opinion and public participation in the decision-making process has been kept to a minimum. This thesis supports the argument that technology is socially constructed, that the technical cannot be separated from the social, and that an interactive model of technological development is more appropriate than a linear, causal one. It shows that the role of power in the shaping of technology is crucial, and in particular the alliance of state and professional power that occurs in the shaping of public sector technology.

The present paper has as a goal a social environmental diagnosis at São Luís ZEIS, a Social Interest Particular Zone, situated at Bessa neighborhood in João Pessoa, PB. These Particular Zones correspond to a new legal capability, rose in Brazil of the 80's because of the increased popular pressure which claimed for housing as well as an attempt to foment the programs of urban reform established by the 1988 constitution. Under a view of sustainability as well as the environmental perception, the research took direction towards the construction of basis and possibilities which can lead to a implementation of public policies that prioritize environmental quality improvements and then the human being's way of life and welfare. It was chosen the sustainability panel method to compound the indicators of the community studied, coupling the local residents attitudinal aspects and features through measurement of their inserts in the New Ecological Paradigm (NEP).
O presente trabalho teve como objetivo a realização de um diagnóstico socioambiental na ZEIS São Luís, localizada no bairro do Bessa em João Pessoa-PB. As ZEIS correspondem a uma nova potencialidade jurídica, surgida no Brasil na década de 80 em decorrência do aumento das pressões populares que clamavam por moradia e como uma tentativa de fomentar os programas de reforma urbana estabelecidos pela Constituição de 1988. Sob a ótica da sustentabilidade e da percepção ambiental, a pesquisa caminhou na direção da construção de bases e cenários que possam nortear a implantação de políticas públicas que priorizem melhorias da qualidade ambiental e, por extensão, da qualidade de vida e bem estar humano. Optamos pela utilização do Método do Painel de Sustentabilidade para compormos os indicadores da comunidade estudada, acoplando-o à caracterização dos aspectos atitudinais dos moradores locais através da medição de suas inserções no Novo Paradigma Ecológico (NEP).

S tím, jak se neustále vyvíjejí nové technologie pro energeticky náročná průmyslová odvětví, stávající zařízení postupně zaostávají v efektivitě a produktivitě. Tvrdá konkurence na trhu a legislativa v oblasti životního prostředí nutí tato tradiční zařízení k ukončení provozu a k odstavení. Zlepšování procesu a projekty modernizace jsou zásadní v udržování provozních výkonů těchto zařízení. Současné přístupy pro zlepšování procesů jsou hlavně: integrace procesů, optimalizace procesů a intenzifikace procesů. Obecně se v těchto oblastech využívá matematické optimalizace, zkušeností řešitele a provozní heuristiky. Tyto přístupy slouží jako základ pro zlepšování procesů. Avšak, jejich výkon lze dále zlepšit pomocí moderní výpočtové inteligence. Účelem této práce je tudíž aplikace pokročilých technik umělé inteligence a strojového učení za účelem zlepšování procesů v energeticky náročných průmyslových procesech. V této práci je využit přístup, který řeší tento problém simulací průmyslových systémů a přispívá následujícím: (i)Aplikace techniky strojového učení, která zahrnuje jednorázové učení a neuro-evoluci pro modelování a optimalizaci jednotlivých jednotek na základě dat. (ii) Aplikace redukce dimenze (např. Analýza hlavních komponent, autoendkodér) pro vícekriteriální optimalizaci procesu s více jednotkami. (iii) Návrh nového nástroje pro analýzu problematických částí systému za účelem jejich odstranění (bottleneck tree analysis – BOTA). Bylo také navrženo rozšíření nástroje, které umožňuje řešit vícerozměrné problémy pomocí přístupu založeného na datech. (iv) Prokázání účinnosti simulací Monte-Carlo, neuronové sítě a rozhodovacích stromů pro rozhodování při integraci nové technologie procesu do stávajících procesů. (v) Porovnání techniky HTM (Hierarchical Temporal Memory) a duální optimalizace s několika prediktivními nástroji pro podporu managementu provozu v reálném čase. (vi) Implementace umělé neuronové sítě v rámci rozhraní pro konvenční procesní graf (P-graf). (vii) Zdůraznění budoucnosti umělé inteligence a procesního inženýrství v biosystémech prostřednictvím komerčně založeného paradigmatu multi-omics.

This study aims to examine the environmental ethics of residents in the southern Taiwan through a comparison between the new ecological paradigm and the sustainable social paradigm. This study used the questionnaire survey method. The sampling targets were 100 residents in each of the residents of Tainan City, Kaohsiung City and Pingtung County (City), Kaohsiung City, Tainan City and Pingtung County. The questionnaire was conducted during a period from the 8th of April to the 6th of May in 2018. Three hundred copies of questionnaire were totally completed, resulting in 252 copies valid and 46 copies invalid, in which 100 valid questionnaires were from Kaohsiung City, 70 valid questionnaires from Tainan City, and 82 valid questionnaires from Pingtung County, with a consequence of 84% of effective recovery rate. The data obtained from the questionnaire were further analyzed by SPSS statistical methods, including reliability analysis, project analysis, sample structure analysis, narrative statistical analysis, independent sample t-test, single-factor variance analysis, and correlation analysis. The results of this study hypothesis are summarized as follows: 1. Residents of the southern Taiwan with different background variables have significantly different responses to the New Ecological Paradigm scale, which is partially supported by the results of the study. This study showed that residents with different residence place, age, education level, occupation, and monthly income answer significantly different responses, while residents with different gender and marriage status reply insignificantly different responses, to the New Ecological Paradigm scale. 2. Residents of the southern Taiwan with different background variables have significantly different responses to the Sustainable Social Paradigm scale, which is partially supported by the results of the study. This study found that residents with different residence place, age, education level, occupation, and monthly income reply significantly different answers, while residents with different gender and marriage status reply insignificantly different answers, to the Sustainable Social Paradigm scale. 3. There is a significantly positive correlation between the New Ecological Paradigm scale and the Sustainable Social Paradigm scale, which is fully supported by the responses of the southern Taiwan residents. This study demonstrated that the correlation coefficients between the New Ecological Paradigm scale and the Sustainable Social Paradigm scale are highly linear. This study proposes specific recommendations and practices for practical applications and future research. The results of the study can be used as teaching materials for environmental education and as helpful reference for follow-up researchers to promote development of environmental ethics in Taiwan.

Full textAbstract:
The way in which we approach building design is constantly being influenced by evolving economic, environmental and social parameters. These factors have implications on both pragmatic and aesthetic facets of design. The built environment is not autonomous from its immediate site or the ecologies of the region in which it is located, rather, the former must be designed to symbiotically exist within and enhance the latter. The term ecology is defined as “a branch of science that deals with the relations of organisms to one another and to their physical surroundings.” Although this typically relates to biology, the term can be expanded to include economic or social ecology. It has been proposed that architectural design can be informed through and should evolve in relation to; environmental, economic and social ecologies. This thesis will examine the relationships between these “ecologies” and how they can inform the adaptive reuse of a vacant industrial site. It will include an examination of the paradigm shift from large-scale industrial manufacturing to Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) at the economic and social level. It will further discuss the evolution of environmental awareness within this shift and how these values can drive architectural design while allowing for long term flexibility in adaptive reuse.

The major purpose of this study is to discuss the environmental paradigm and environment ethics about policies and economic construction for college students. New Ecological Paradigm and Sustainability Social Paradigm were applied to compare students from National University of Tainan and National Taichung University of Education. Validity test, descriptive analysis, factor analysis, one-way ANOVA, independent t test and related tests were conducted to analyze the data. For both colleges, the dimensions in New Ecological Paradigm with the highest and lowest score were respectively “possibility of ecological crisis” and “lift of natural limitation;” in Sustainability Social Paradigm, the dimensions with the highest and lowest score were respectively “Political system” and “social problem.” With factor analysis, the three factors, “disbelief in a man can beat its destiny”, “capacity”, and “following the nature”, were extracted from students from National University of Tainan and four factors, “disbelief in a man can beat its destiny”, “ecological crisis”, “ideal and realization”, “limitation to growth”, from those from National Taichung University of Education. For Sustainability Social Paradigm, the three factors of “sustainability”, “economy-oriented”, and “centralization” were extracted for students from National University of Tainan and four factors of “environment protection”, “local democracy”, “sustainable attitude”, and “sustainability” were extracted for students from National Taichung University of Education. For students from National University of Tainan, female participants, participants aged from 24-27, those in graduate school and those with the experience of environment did well in both New Ecological Paradigm and Sustainability Social Paradigm. We found college students tending to New Ecological Paradigm would support environmental protection for policies and economical construction to decrease the damage to the environment.

Many studies suggest that children are increasingly disengaged with the natural environment and in contrast to past decades spend significantly less free time exploring natural play places. Other studies suggest that from the ages of three to eight, foundational childhood memories are formed, and these memories likely influence adult beliefs regarding the natural environment. The goal of this study was to examine the character and ecology of adults’ childhood memories of nature, along with how they potentially shaped the individual as they progressed through life. Adults between the ages of eighteen to twenty-seven were interviewed using a semi structured format, and asked to fill out two questionnaires to detect themes between memories and environmental beliefs. Responses were analyzed using qualitative content analysis. Results help to identify the behaviours and experiences that encourage children to engage with the natural environment, allowing play spaces to be designed in order to foster environmental connectivity.

This study aims to compare the measurements on environmental attitude and the predictive ability on environmental behavior intention between the New Environmental Paradigm Scale (Dunlap and Van Liere, 1978) and the New Ecological Paradigm Scale (Dunlap et al., 2000). Undergraduates of National Hualien Teachers College have been sampled to answer questionnaires containing the New Environmental Paradigm Scale, the New Ecological Paradigm Scale and the Environmental Behavior Intention Scale developed by Maloney et al. (1975). The score rates of the New Environmental Paradigm Scale and the New Ecological Paradigm Scale are 81.77% and 81.49% respectively. The score rate of the Environmental Behavior Intention Scale is 66.34%. Regression analysis results showed that the Environmental Behavior Intention Scale score is positively related to the New Environmental Paradigm Scale score and the New Ecological Paradigm Scale score. However, the New Environmental Paradigm Scale score explains more variance in the Environmental Behavior Intention Scale score.

Abstract United Nations General Assembly declared 2010 as the International Year of Biodiversity. It manifested not only the importance of biodiversity around the world, but also emphasized the importance of biodiversity to human’s well-being . In the Assembly, it reviewed some of the achievements that we had done for the biodiversity conservation, and it also urged for slowing down the high rate of biodiversity loss. School is an important field of education, therefore the researcher hope that throughout the teaching, the biodiversity courses can broaden the students’ biodiversity knowledge, and shift the students’ attuitudes toward biodiversity. This research mainly adopted qualitative methods, and combined with some quantitative elements. In this study, 22 sixth grade students of an Elemtary school in Taipei were given 8 weeks of teaching activities on biodiversity conservation program. To realize students’ learning processes and outcome, the researcher invited peer-teachers to make observations in class and let students write down some reflections after the activities. The researcher also conducted self-evaluation questionnaire to record the process of teaching and any special events as references to this study. To compare the differences between the pre-test and post-test data, the researcher conducted some evaluation questionnaire of the revised “the sixth grade students of biodiversity knowledge, attitude test ”, "new ecological paradigm scale". After a winter break, students were tested the "new ecological paradigm scale", which helped the researcher understand whether the biodiversity courses had any influences for students’ new environmental paradigm of migration. The main findings of this study were as the following: (a)This program could increase students’ biodiversity conservation knowledge and positively enhanced students’ attitudes toward biodiversity conservation.(b)Through designing the biodiversity curriculum and practical teaching, the researcher’s biodiversity-related knowledge and self-conscious of biodiversity conservation were significant advanced.(c) Before the biodiversity courses, the sixth grade students’ concept about "the meaning of biodiversity" was obviously inadequate. (d)The involvement of biodiversity courses in the sixth grade students for the new model of migration had a positive impact; (e) Biodiversity programs should be implemented with diversified teaching methods. Based on the above findings﹐the researcher propose some suggestions as a reference in education for future studies about the biodiversity teaching: (a) The courses can be brought to schools , and the related biodiversity issues are strongly recommended to be scheduled with school activities. The teaching materials should be systematically designed for elementary students in various stages of acquisition of biodiversity knowledge. (b)The teaching methods should be diversified. And teachers should enhance his professional knowledge in related to biological diversity. (c) The relevant researchers who are interested in the topic should make more efforts on ecosystem biodiversity and cultural landscape diversity curriculum design (d) The design of assessment sheets should be appropriately.

Review of rural tourism researches that rarely investigate the relationship between attributes and values, howere, product attributes and values is one of the important factors that influence consumer choices behavior. In addition, sustainable tourism development, environmental factors are also an important that is less involved in rural tourism researches. The purpose of this study to understand the attributes, consequence and value of rural tourism destination. In addition, understand the relationship between a model of the new environment paradigm, rural tourism values and pro-environmental behavior. We administered a questionnaire to 710 rural tourism tourists. The results include 7 attributes, 8consequences and 5values, and displays the new environmental paradigm, attributs of rural tourism、consequence of rural tourism、value of rural tourism were important determinants of shared pro-environmental behavior. The results support the expectancy-value theory can explain the properties of rural tourism, links with attributes, consequences and values. Thr-component theory of attitude can support new environmental paradigm, the relationship between the value of rural tourism and pro-environmental behavior. Suggested rural tourism operators may proceed from the value of rural tourism to rural tourism environmental behavior of consumers planning to induce consumers to environmental behaviors. As well as by environmental education, environmental education station was established to provide visitors to know more ecological and environmental conservation knowledge, and thus engage in environmental behavior.

Tourists will receive and recognize the external information in tour experience which is viewed as the effect of consumer’s experience. While dealing with external information, the effect of consumer’s experience will be influenced by tourists’ selective retention conducted by their own ideology and belief. The study adopted the four concepts of economy experience by Pine & Gilmore (1999) to explore the tourist experience, and, with the scale of New Environmental Paradigm, uncovered the effect of consumer’s experience will be affected by, to nature, tourist environmental values and by their behavior under ecological consciousness, or not. The sampling method is convenience sampling and applied with on-site intercept where investigated object is above 18 years and has been to Yangminshan National Park. In totally 546 copies of this investigation, there are 500 copies of valid questionnaires seen as 91.5％ of the effective response rate. The results of this research shows, to the effect of consumer’s experience, tourist experience is active effect and reveals the New Environmental Paradigm to the active on the experience and on the effect of consumer’s experience is obviously positive, but, to the passive on the experience and on the effect of consumer’s experience, is definitely negative. Via analysis, the mentioned results are expected to provide the reference of urban ecotourism to the fields of academics and of relevant industry.

Global deterioration of our environment is no longer a problem that can be resolved through technical means, but must be corrected through changing the attitudes and behaviors of the public. Children are our future; their attitudes and behaviors toward the environment will determine and shape the environment of the next general. This paper surveyed 1000 fifth and sixth grades students from Taipei City, Taipei County and Keelung City to study their attitudes toward new environmental paradigm and behaviors toward the environment. Our findings are as follows: 1.Positive support is 64.7% on the New Ecological Paradigm scale. 2.On the NEP scale of one to five, ranking of the three dimensions in order from high to low are, ‘rights of mother nature’ (4.37), ‘ecocrisis’ (4.17), ‘absolute immunity’ (2.62). 3.Residential variable shows a significant difference in students’ attitudes toward new environmental paradigm (higher in Taipei City than in Taipei County and Keelung City); no differences are observed in gender variable. 4.Positive environmental behavior is 55.8% on the Environmental Behavior scale, indicating a tendency toward positive environmental behaviors. 5.On the Environmental Behavior scale of one to five, ranking of the four dimensions in order from high to low are, ‘eco-management behavior’ (4.16), ‘consumer behavior’ (3.78), ‘persuasion behavior’ (3.55), ‘legal behavior’ (3.01). 6.No differences are observed in either residential or gender variable. 7.Correlation coefficient between new environmental paradigm and environmental behaviors is 0.169, p<0.01, indicating a positive correlation between new environmental paradigm and environmental behaviors. Also, the higher the new environmental paradigm in Greater Taipei Metropolitan area, the higher the environmental behaviors. Results and suggestions on curriculum design and environment education from this paper maybe used for references by educational institutions and agencies.

Dissertação de Mestrado apresentada ao Instituto Superior de Psicologia Aplicada para obtenção de grau de Mestre na especialidade de Psicologia Educacional.Actualmente, o tema Educação Ambiental tem assumido um maior protagonismo no que diz respeito aos problemas, e preocupações que fazem parte do dia-a-dia de qualquer sociedade. Este estudo foi realizado numa população do município de Macapá, Amapá – Brasil. Participaram no trabalho 50 sujeitos, dos quais 25 efectuaram um curso de Capacitação de Agente Ambiental Comunitário, formação que permite a capacitação de moradores para actuarem como condutores e executadores nas actividades de Educação Ambiental, Monitoramento e Fiscalização, promovendo a conservação e preservação dos recursos naturais junto da população. Tendo em conta o enquadramento teórico, constatou-se que a preocupação ambiental tem sido um dos principais temas sobre o qual se tem dirigido a investigação em matéria do ambiente, pois apresenta-se como um forte determinante dos comportamentos próambientais. Assim sendo, pretendeu-se com este trabalho estudar uma população na qual os antecedentes a nível da percepção da Educação Ambiental, Desenvolvimento Sustentável, Consciência Ecológica e Nível de Preocupação Ambiental não haviam sido previamente estudados. No seguimento desta ideia, pretendeu-se estudar como varia o nível de Preocupação Ambiental (avaliada pela escala do Novo Paradigma Ecológico) em indivíduos que efectuaram o curso de Capacitação de Agentes Ambientais Comunitários. Pretendeu-se também analisar se o Nível de Preocupação Ambiental varia consoante a idade dos inquiridos; género; nível de escolaridade; existência na sua zona de residência de iniciativas e programas na área da Educação Ambiental; informação sobre preservação e conservação da natureza; espaços de esclarecimento de dúvidas sobre questões de Educação Ambiental; participação dos inquiridos em actividades de Educação Ambiental. Como resposta ao questionário aplicado, foi possível confirmar estatisticamente que o Nível de Preocupação Ambiental varia consoante a idade e o nível de escolaridade. As restantes hipóteses levantadas, embora não se possam confirmar a nível estatístico, verificam-se em termos amostrais. O presente estudo demonstra, de forma cabal, que a implementação de projectos de Educação Ambiental se revela de grande importância para a mudança da mente e da postura das pessoas ao nível da Preocupação Ambiental.
Environmental Education is becoming a fundamental issue regarding the day-to-day problems and concerns of any society. This study was carried out with inhabitants of Macapá, Amapá – Brazil. 50 people participated, 25 of which took a course of Qualification of Communitarian Environmental Agents, which enables them to oversee and perform activities of Environmental Education, Monitoring and Supervision, thus promoting the preservation of natural resources at the population level. From a theoretical approach, environmental concern has been a central subject of environmental research as it is a strong determinant of pro-environment behavior. The objective of this work was to study a population in which the perception of Environmental Education, Sustainable Development, Ecological awareness, and Level of Environmental Concern had not been previously characterized. In line with this idea this work assessed the variation of the Level of Environmental Concern (ranked according to the scale of the New Ecological Paradigm) across individuals that took the Qualification of Communitarian Environmental Agents. A correlation was tested between the Level of Environmental Concern and participant age, gender, education, residential proximity to Environmental Education actions, familiarity with nature preservation, use of Environmental Education facilities, and participation in Environmental Education actions. From the answers to the applied form a statistically significant correlation of the Level of Environmental Concern with age and education was observed. A correlation with the remaining factors, albeit not statistically significant, was observed on a sample basis. This study shows that the implementation of Environmental Education projects is of great importance towards the change of attitude and behavior regarding Environmental Concern.

The purpose of this study was to understand the ecotourism cognition, attitude, and attitude of the new environmental paradigm of fifth and sixth grade elementary school students in Pingtung County. This study investigated the differences of and the correlation among ecotourism cognition, attitude, and the attitude of a new environmental paradigm under different backgrounds. It also investigated the predictability of these three elements in all aspects and verified whether these three elements fit the structural equation modeling. There were 645 affective questionnaires collected. The obtained material was analyzed by SPSS and AMOS software with the following methods: means of descriptive statistics, t-test, one-way ANOVA, post hoc comparison, stepwise multiple regression, and evaluation of structural equation model. The major findings are as follows: 1.97% of the students are exposed to information about ecotourism mainly through the TV media, school curriculum, internet, books and their families. 2.93% of the students have had the experience of participating in ecotourism activities more than four times. The majority of students have had two to three of these experiences. The typical activities they have been involved in are school field trips and family tours. 3.Those students who scored 4 points or more in ecotourism cognition and attitude got a score 3.82 in in the new environment paradigm. 4.Different gender, grade, and socio-economic background of students have no significant impact on ecotourism cognition. Different school location, school size, and the number of activities involved in have a significant impact on ecotourism cognition. 5.Different gender, grade, school size, and socio-economic background of students have no significant impact on ecotourism attitude. Different school location and the number of activities involved in have a significant impact on ecotourism attitude. 6.Different gender, grade have no significant impact on attitude of the new environmental paradigm. Different school location, school size, socio-economic background, and the number of activities involved in have a significant impact on the new environmental paradigm. 7.Ecotourism cognition, attitude, and the new environmental paradigm have shown a significant positive correlation. The degree of relevance ranged from .297 to .718. 8.The target group’s score in the new environmental paradigm could significantly predict the outcome of ecotourism cognition and attitude tested factors. 9.In addition to the new environmental paradigm, with the “anthropocentrism factor” level removed due to the student’s polar views, evaluation found ecotourism cognition, attitude, and the new environmental paradigm as a whole can give a good explanation of the structural equation model. Finally, according to the related results and conclusions listed above, this study is to be used as a reference for educational administrative organizations, elementary school, elementary school teachers and future researchers.

These decades in the past, the progress of science and technology brought the human happiness; it is exhausted to also bring the serious environmental pollution, ecological disruption, resource day by day. So go over the faith that '' man is the master of his own fate '' begin to shake changing into and becoming gradually '' people are a natural part, mankind must with getting along naturally '', sustainable development become key concept of new paradigm. In 1978 Dunlap & Van Liere thought that the dominant social paradigm at that time was to demonstrate the inside out ecological image, only consider the social one''s own demand, and get rid of the mankind outside the nature, ignore the environmental impact on society, so call this kind of view '' Human Exceptionalism Paradigm, HEP '' . Dunlap & Van Liere propose a kind of '' New Environmental Paradigm, NEP ‘, the reason why they call that '' New Environmental Paradigm '' because with mankind at that time for to model very different dominant social paradigm. It can be with the change of faith , attitude and values that the appearance of NEP mainly hopes, enable mankind to make a thorough review on people and naturally real relation, change mankind''s attitude immoderate to the natural demand. Environmental sustainable planning deeply international while paying attention to , Taiwan environmental planning professional person, body in environmental front most of planning, in the face of new environmental paradigm arrival of times, how much deep understanding about the concept of the environmental sustainable ? The impact that is changed fast by the whole external environment condition, plan also the revolutionary transformation is taking place in the planning paradigm, the professional personnel of urban planning get along with during the process of adapting to. Has planned the contention in theory to extend all the time constantly in the last hundred years, and planning paradigm to replace constantly, so the related one influences planners to public interests cognition and treatment method . In the face of the arrival of the era of knowledge-driven economy, the city is in global economy and ripe democratic politics day by day competed for day by day, plan to need marching toward the new model badly. So face the transitions of the paradigm of planning and ideological trend, does the environmental planning professional person in Taiwan do a good job of due adjustment? Over a long period of time, the urban growth and renovation in Taiwan have been spinning out of control and falling into disorder. The same problems have arisen time and again. For instance, deforestation and overexploitation of hillside lead to landslide; urban sprawl resulted in the shortage of public facilities; the developers were unable to internalize the externalities. If learning is deemed as a process of accumulating and readjusting life experience, then what’s the problem with our society, which has failed to learn from the repeated urban issues and create new models for practice. What are the factors impeding this society’s potential to remold the past experience? Traditional planning, overweight the human space and satisfaction of the demand, so that often neglect the carrying capacity of the ecological environment , and the inspiration that the whole social people''s train of thought link and giving a new lease of life to. '' the Environmental planning '' which the advanced country emphasizes at present, its idea is conversely; The planning of the environment, is a kind of new idea, the ones that emphasized from ecological environment carrying capacity, or the potentiality , chance or limiting conditions of the supply, have priority to suitability analysis, but not meet the human demand simply . Namely the planner must respect the resource and environmental supply, mediate the human demand. This kind of planning could make the balance between development and preserve. So this research one is in the face of new environmental paradigm appears, such as transition of ideological trend and public interests, etc. to describing of person who understands environmental planning professional, practice crisis of urban planning of Taiwan , the emerging in an endless stream of environmental planning problem of Taiwan, influence its to be cognitive with the behavior further? To present domestic environmental planning professional education and training is enough to deal with the changes like this of the environment? Possibility which the professional person practice community produces? So this research is probed into from it by this: 1. Planner personal basic attribute with and its environmental view (new environmental paradigm), environmental behavior (responsible environmental behavior) and what is relation to learning style? 2. Planners face the environment (Environmental view, action approach, practice crisis), person (self-regulatory, self-efficacy) and with to influence each other what is relation to behavior (environmental behavior, production of practice community)? Through the distinguishing of above-mentioned problems relation, achieve the following research purposes: 1. Probe into environmental planners of Taiwan and present the environmental paradigm shift. 2. Probe into the social cognition model of planners under the new environmental planning discussion. 3. Probe into the possible change and meaning of environmental planning specialized education of Taiwan. This research is mainly studying social learning and cognitive social cognition view of the theory of society of society proposed through Bandura, as the key structure of this research, this theory thinks that the behavior is to emerge via the reciprocal function of person and environment, instead of be determined by any dimensions among them. This view transform environment (E ) , person (P ) and behavior (B ) into three interrelated dimensions and acts on to some extent, namely '' the social learning theory '' and '' the social cognitive theory '' with Bandura - Probe into the self- regulation system among the person cognition, behavior and environment. Retrospect via relevant theory documents of this study, put it in order out under the social cognitive theory, professional person''s influence way of environmental program among the three of '' the environment ,person , behavior '', and planner''s personal learning style way is set up. With the new environmental paradigm concept, action approach of planning , planning practice crisis of the whole , planner personal self-efficiency and self-regulatory, responsible environmental behavior, and plan practice relevant parameter that community produce influence, and then build the intact model which construct out a environmental planner''s social cognitive theory, and then concern the analytical method of the way (LISREL ) to verify this theory model with Joreskog & Sorbom linear structure of development. This study attempts to set up a planner''s social cognitive theory way from the retrospect of theory documents, offer the school, the department is carrying on environmental planning education public and private, knowledge and action are being linked etc. The result of study of this study can be summed up as follows on policy implications: 1. To test and verify of the social cognitive theory - Have proved on one''s to the environmental planning professional person that among the three of '' the environment , person , behavior '' hand in the relation influenced in social cognitive theory, environmental influences person; Individual influences the behavior; The behavior influences the environment. 2. To indicate and verify the new arrival of times of environmental planning paradigm - So no matter in the school, public department or private consultant firm is in the future in planning educational course design and arrange, environmental draft, implementation of planning of policy, etc., should change to some extent. 3. To Assert and introduce of the learning style of the persons who plan the professional roles - The educational professional of environmental planning that this research is thought to be domestic, arrange with the design in course of professional training, real should make relevant adjustment and plan, there can be chance of balanced study in the training course of letting the profession form, pay attention to '' concrete experience '' and ''active experimentation '' more with the planning.

The thesis "Determinants of environmental concern" is a quantitative analysis that deals with determinants of environmental concern, the scale of new ecological paradigm, environmental behavior and ecological activism. It uses data from an international survey "International Social Survey Project Environment III" from year 2010. Strong predictors came out from the analysis, mainly cultural differences of the respondents and education. The inhabitants of Western Europe and English speaking countries have the strongest environmental concern, in contrast, in post communist countries of Eastern Europe is this concern the smallest. Post materialists and inhabitants of the richer countries have stronger environmental concern and they believe more in science and progress solving ecological problems. The perception of consequences of ecological problems on everyday life is also a strong determinant from which suffers mostly localities out of Europe. The recycling waste is most often carried away in Western Europe and English speaking countries. A strong correlation is between finished education and environmental concern as well as ecological activism, there is a weaker connection to saving natural resources.

Taiwan’s current energy resources are almost dependent on imports, and fossil fuels are highly dependent on energy. In the face of increasing depletion of traditional energy sources, energy security, environmental protection and rising domestic energy demand, how to ensure energy sustainability is the government’s primary policy. In addition to formulating policies, public opinion is also a major driving force for renewable energy. In order to understand the factors that influence people's choice of renewable energy sources, this study explores the factors that affect the willingness of Taiwanese people to use renewable energy. This study aims to analyze whether the general public's attitude towards the new environmental paradigm, attitude towards green energy, and government policies will influence the intention of the development of the support rate. In this study, a questionnaire survey method was used, with the new environment paradigm and the researcher's self-woven renewable energy support intent questionnaire as a research tool. A total of 234 valid samples were obtained for general public surveys. The data obtained from the research were analyzed using a structural equation model. The research results show that the new environmental model view and green energy attitude have positive correlations with the support intention of renewable energy; in the questionnaire analysis, the reliability of each facet reliability value is above 0.7, and the overall reliability is above 0.9; in the measurement mode, each The fit of the facet corrections reached the standard value, but the overall mode explained that the variation was low, only 34%. Due to the sample sampling and sampling, it is impossible to fully infer to the mother group. In the future, it is possible to conduct investigations in different industries, so that the research direction is closer to the people.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the environmental worldview and new ecological paradigm of elementary school students. To discuss its variation between students from different background. Finally, to explore the correlation between the environmental worldview and new ecological paradigm of students' performance. The research method was mainly based on quantitative investigated research and some part of qualitative drawing and interview. The research tools include environmental worldview drawing, the 2-MEV Scale value scales and semi-structured interview outlines. This study collected primary school students in Hsinchu City and Hsinchu County. There were 1050 valid questionnaires accounted for 97.86%. Data analysis has been performed by statistical methods such as description statistics, chi-square analysis, and associative correlation. The study found： 1. The primary school students' performance in the environmental worldview showed that more than 70% of the students believe that the environment is in a positive state, and 15% of the students believed that the environment is in a negative state. This study has also found the students have the concepts that environment is dynamic and multi-status. 2. There were significant differences for the drawing of environmental worldview in grades, the frequencies of natural experience. There were no significant differences in gender, ethnicity, residence, geographic location, after-school activities, the exposure to natural experiences, and concerns about environmental events. 3. The environmental paradigms of elementary school students were more sympathetic to the “preservation” on the two-factor value scales, and to the values of “utilization” are more divergent. More than 70% of students are "absolute new ecological paradigm", followed by other "relative new ecological paradigm". The "relative dominant social paradigm" is third, and "absolute mainstream social paradigm" is the lowest. 4. There were significant differences in the performance of two-factor environmental value scales among students with background variables such as grade, ethnicity, place of residence, after-school activity model, exposure to natural experience, the frequency of exposuring nature, and concern for environmental events. But there were no significant differences in genders and geographic schools. 5. There was a low- positive correlation between the environmental worldview and the environmental paradigms of primary school students. Finally, according to the results, some suggestions were recommended for primary school teachers, as well as future research.

This thesis focus on the New Ecological Paradigm (NEP) and its measurement instrument New Ecological Paradigm scale. Thesis introduces the New Ecological Paradigm as opposite type of thinking to the Human Exemptionalism Paradigm and provides historical context of the creation of the revised version of the New Ecological Paradigm scale. We carried out a secondary analysis of the data from survey about the European climate change policy acceptance conducted by Ščasný et al in year 2015. Thesis then examined the extent to which people from the Czech Republic, the Great Britain and the Poland endorse the New Ecological Paradigm and found out that the Czechs have the higher environmental concern than people from the Great Britain and the Poland. Furthermore, this thesis use Cronbach`s and factor analysis to discover, that the New ecological paradigm scale is internally consistent yet multidimensional instrument in case of the three surveyed countries. Regression analysis discovered that not only gender and age are significant socio-demographic predictors for the NEP results as income, education, size of municipality and current occupation are also relevant across the three surveyed countries. Lastly, regression analysis verified that the direct correlation between the general environmental values measured by the...
