Abstract:

Between 1978 and 1992 the number of juvenile offenders aged under 17 in England and Wales who were removed from home under sentence and sent to institutions such as detention centres, borstals, youth custody institutions or residential Community Homes with Education fell from 14,000 to 1,800. This thesis documents how this significant decarceration came about, and why it has been given little attention in the criminological literature, placing it in context of developments in juvenile justice legislation and practice between 1965 and 1996 and theories of policy change. It suggests that the key

Abstract:

Material prosperity of countries depends on the use of their endowment of natural resources. Land management decisions, in particular, also affect the conservation of biological diversity, which is an asset for not only for the host country, but also for the rest of the world. There is a growing recognition that the contribution of biological resources both to sustainable national development and to the well being of the international community has been underestimated in the past. Based on both theoretical analysis and case study material from Mexico, this dissertation discusses the land-use r

Abstract:

The economic, fiscal and environmental crises evident in contemporary political economy carry a set of interconnected, profound and largely unacknowledged sustainability challenges for the welfare state. This is particularly the case if the environmental crisis constitutes a severe set of limitations upon further economic expansion or demands that post-industrial societies begin to normatively question the primacy of pursuing ad infinitum economic growth. The crisis narratives identified are conceptualised here as a triple crisis afflicting welfare state sustainability, and this more holistic

Abstract:

Over the past few decades, world population growth, economic development and rapid urbanisation have caused environmental degradation and have brought about many social problems. The concept of ‘sustainable development’ has emerged as an approach to dealing with these issues. ‘Collaborative governance’ is seen by many scholars as a means of implementing the goals of sustainable development and of integrating diverse interests and perspectives in contemporary society. This thesis examines the relationship between sustainable development and collaborative governance in urban planning in South Ko

Abstract:

This study undertakes a critical analysis of measures of environmental and sustainable socioeconomic welfare from the perspective of political economy. One of the prime motivations for such an inquiry is that Gross Domestic Product (GDP) provides an inadequate measure of social and ecological waste in the economic system. Good measures with solid theory (or theories) can offer vital insights where there may be conflict between the various spheres of economy, society and ecology. The inquiry centres on measures that may be referred to as 'Net Income Indices' or Sustainable Economic Welfare Indi

Previous research has indicated that Indian reservations in the United States often face unique roadblocks to these planning efforts: checkerboard patterns of tribal and nontribal ownership, and the presence of both tribal and local governments exercising land use authority within the same shared space. These roadblocks can lead to uncooperative, uncoordinated, or unsustainable development. Despite these noted problems, there remains an important gap in the current literature regarding so

Abstract:

Being a small landlocked country located in Eastern Himalaya ranges, makes it difficult for Bhutan to secure and sustain its national food security. Thus, Bhutan highly depends on the import of food from neighboring countries. This paper aims to improve the food security in Bhutan by giving a specific focus on the egg value-chain which starts from the import of parent stocks until the consumption within the country. Methods to identify potential constraints within the value-chain and provision of possible solutions used in this paper are a combination of literature reviews, qualitative studies

While environmental and economic sustainability have been driving factors in the movement towards a more resilient built environment, social sustainability is a factor that has received significantly less attention over the years.

In this thesis, I explore one way that architects can design affordable housing that is intrinsically sustainable.

Podjęty w pracy doktorskiej problem badawczy dotyczy zagadnień związanych z rozwojem zrównoważonym miasta i jego pomiarem. Miasta odgrywają kluczową rolę w rozwoju gospodarczym i społecznym państw oraz regionów, ale jednocześnie przyczyniają się do dewastacji i zanieczyszczenia środowiska naturalnego oraz nadmiernej eksploatacji zasobów naturalnych. Koncepcja miasta zrównoważonego odwołuje się bezpośrednio do definicji z Raportu Brundtland „Nasza wspólna przyszłość” z 1987 r. mówiącej, że rozwój zrównoważony to taki, w którym potrzeby obecnego pokolenia mogą być zaspokajane bez pozbawiania moż

Abstract:

One of the most important issues facing the South African democracy is that of breaking the grip of poverty on a substantial portion of its citizens. In South Africa, Non-Profit Organisations (NPOs) play a major role in the development of assistance for the poor and in reducing poverty. As an NPO, the Greater Midrand Development Centre (GMDC) has played an important role in supporting and encouraging the development aspirations of Region A of the City of Johannesburg community in the areas of Agricultural projects, bakery, poultry and paper making. The aim of the study was to determine the imp

Abstract:

A visão baseada nos recursos representa uma das principais correntes de pensamento da área de estratégia empresarial. Os recursos de uma organização podem ser fonte de vantagem competitiva, desde que reconhecidos como valiosos, raros, difíceis de serem copiados e explorados pela empresa. Esta tese procurou-se identificar quais recursos e capacidades representam fonte de vantagem competitiva sustentável para um serviço de oncologia pediátrica, de um hospital privado, sob a ótica do modelo VRIO. Para tanto, a metodologia utilizada, foi a coleta de diferentes fontes de dados através de entrevista

Abstract:

Esta dissertação pretende evocar a discussão sobre o Desenvolvimento e a Educação, à luz dos discursos desenvolvimentistas e pós-desenvolvimentistas, através dos conceitos de Desenvolvimento Sustentável, Buen Vivir e Sustentabilidade Integrada, que se relacionam apesar de pertencerem a correntes de pensamento distintas. O modelo educacional vigente em Portugal e o Desenvolvimento têm-se mostrado inúteis na persecução dos seus objetivos, sendo que estes são considerados obsoletos e desenquadrados do contexto em que vivemos atualmente. A escola continua a refletir uma realidade do século XIX, a

Abstract:

This Pedagogical Case project was created from an initial case study in a medium enterprise from the ornamental stones industry. The observation and perception of ornamental/natural stones sector processes, from extraction to processing, brought new approaches on the case. Thus, a decision was taken to develop a Pedagogical Case Study hoping to give an understanding of resource scarcity, sustainability, circular economy and the natural stone production. After introducing the terminology and basic concepts the Portuguese natural stone manufacturer Solancis is presented to underline its ex

O presente trabalho pretende explorar a felicidade como motor e objetivo primordial do desenvolvimento. Num primeiro momento pretende-se estudar o conceito de desenvolvimento, suas críticas e inovações, focando os conceitos de desenvolvimento alternativo e conceitos alternativos ao desenvolvimento, nomeadamente o conceito de Desenvolvimento Sustentável (DS) e de Felicidade Interna Bruta (FIB). Após reflexão sobre ambos os conceitos, será discutida a mais valia da sua complementaridade, ou seja, ao invés de olharmos os conceitos como pertencentes a esferas distintas, porque não olhá-los n

Abstract:

During the last years, sustainability has become a big concern in society and there is a biggest focus on the Sustainable Development Goals. United Nations proposed a set of 17 Sustainable Development Goals, for the period 2015-2030, which are universal and every country has an important role on the accomplishment of the goals. The Sustainable Development Goals have different targets assigned to each goal and the literature review will show how the goals are related between themselves. In terms of strategy, the organization is part of a complex system with many interactions and the literature

Abstract:

In the 90’s the Resource-Based View became the most prolific framework for value creation. Over time, markets revealed increasing levels of available technology and innovation, and the RBV was criticized for being too static and disregarding market dynamism. The Dynamic Capabilities View came to life as an enhancement of the RBV and became the most prolific research stream of the resource-based approaches. With most critics pinpointing definitional issues, contradictory interpretations, and tautological assumptions as issues to solve before the view could become a theory. Having these s

Abstract:

Poverty is one of the greatest attacks on Human Dignity. The way in which it is expressed has become more and more diversified and the gap between the rich and the poor has been increasingly severe. Fighting this phenomenon is urgent and requires an integrated and concerted approach by several actors, including companies. The concept of Corporate Social Responsibility has shaped the way companies interact within society, granting them a role of great importance in its development. Companies began to take more into consideration their environment and to want to actively participate in bui
