Download or read book Il management ambientale written by Marcelo Enrique Conti and published by Edizioni Nuova Cultura. This book was released on 2018-09-28 with total page 482 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Il presente testo si propone di studiare i problemi ambientali nel contesto delle principali teorie economiche micro e macro e del management – che nel complesso costituiscono il corpus teorico fondamentale dell’economia ambientale –, tenendo altresì in considerazione quelle fonti normative che trovano nella tutela dell’ambiente la loro principale ragion d’essere. Le domande fondamentali alla quale cerca di rispondere questo libro sono: Quanto inquinamento siamo disposti ad accettare? Quando è che l’inquinamento diventa troppo? Stiamo passando dal «green washing» all’«awareness washing»? Sviluppo sostenibile o sottosviluppo sostenibile? Dobbiamo dare un valore economico alla vita umana? Verrà evidenziato pertanto il forte contrasto esistente tra l’economia neoclassica e l’economia ecologica nel considerare le tematiche qui citate. Sono queste le domande centrali di partenza del libro e alle quali l’Autore tenta di dare risposta.

Download or read book Green Infrastructure written by Ian C. Mell and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-12-07 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our understandings of the landscapes around us are constantly changing. How we interact with, manage and value these spaces is important, as it helps us to ensure we live in attractive, functional and sustainable places. Green Infrastructure planning is the current ‘go-to’ approach in landscape planning that incorporates human-environmental interactions, understandings of ecology and how socio-cultural factors influence our use of parks, gardens and waterways. This book explores several interpretations of Green Infrastructure bringing together case studies of policy, practice, ecological change and community understandings of landscape. Focusing on how planning policy shapes our interactions with the landscape, as individuals and communities, the book discusses what works and what needs to be improved. It examines how environmental management can promote more sustainable approaches to landscape protection ensuring that water resources and ecological communities are not harmed by development. It also asks what the economic and community values of Green Infrastructure are to illustrate how different social, ecological and political factors influence how our landscapes are managed. The central message of the book focusses on the promotion of multi-functional nature within urban landscapes that helps people, the economy and the environment to meet the challenges of population, infrastructure and economic change. The chapters in this book were origianally published as a special issue in Landscape Research.

Download or read book Governance and Public Management written by Charles Conteh and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-05-09 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The key difference between success and failure for most governance systems is adaptation, specifically the ability to resolve the existing social, cultural, economic and environmental challenges that constrain adaptation. Local, regional and national systems differ in how they are designed to organize effective participation and create innovative ideas for missions, goals, strategies and actions. They also differ in how they build the effective coalitions needed to adopt, guide and protect strategies and actions during implementation, and how to build competence and knowledge to sustain implementation. This book presents the strategic foundations for government’s role in fostering and adapting to societal transformation in a volatile world. It shifts the focus of the discipline from an overtly retrospective analysis to a prospective analysis, incorporating the role of foresight techniques and instruments. Above all, it stimulates debate about the practical implications of governance as an emergent future-oriented framework of public management. This challenging book aims to facilitate dialogue and discussion between academics and practitioners, and encourage advanced students to take a new perspective on Public Management during these volatile times.
