Ecological Economics And Transport Systems
Environmental Engineering and Management Journal › Vol. 6 › Nr. 1 AbstractEcological economics is an emerging field that offers significant room for creativity and innovation at the conceptual level on how to operationalize sustainability. It integrates economics with ecology and many elements from both the natural and social sciences to provide an integrated perspective on environment-economy interactions. A major policy dilemma that ecological economics addresses is how policy-makers can influence markets, so that they receive the 'right' signals from the na...

Keynote Lectures Energy from municipal solid waste: large-scale incineration or small-scale pyrolysis?
Environmental Engineering and Management Journal › Vol. 6 › Nr. 5 AbstractMunicipal solid waste (MSW) management is an important and challenging issue for sustainable development. It is also one of themost controversial problems and a subject of an ongoing debate between different interested parties. A particularly controversial issue is MSW incineration (with or without energy recovery) which has in many countries become a socially unacceptable option for dealing with solid waste. On the other hand, the increasing amounts of waste each year demand immediate a... Autori: Adisa Azapagic ISSN: 1843 - 3707 http://www.ecozone.ro/reviste.php?RID=25147

This situation threatens the health of residents and the sustainable development of society. China has to face the huge pressure of carbon emissions from international
and domestic societies. This study aims to investigate the demographic driving factors of carbon emission ... Autori: Yan Li ISSN: 1843 - 3707 http://www.ecozone.ro/reviste.php?RID=28265
CARBON REDUCTION STRATEGIES FOR THE EXPLOSIVE TAKEOFF STAGE OF URBANIZATION IN CHINA
Environmental Engineering and Management Journal › Vol. 19 › Nr. 9 Focusing on 199 Chinese cities at or above prefectural level, this paper mainly explores the interaction mechanism between urbanization and carbon emissions in China from 2003 to 2016, and evaluates the benefit and cost of different carbon reduction measures. Specifically, an econometric model was established based on simultaneous equations, and estimated by the generalized method of moments (GMM). The results show that: every 1% increase in the urban percentage of population boosts the gross do... Autori: Jiajia Li ISSN: 1843 - 3707 http://www.ecozone.ro/reviste.php?RID=28283
FULL-SCALE APPLICATION OF MABR TECHNOLOGY FOR UPGRADING AND RETROFITTING AN EXISTING WWTP: PERFORMANCES AND PROCESS MODELLING
Environmental Engineering and Management Journal › Vol. 19 › Nr. 10 MABR (Membrane Aerated Biofilm Reactor) consists in an attached-growth process in which a gas permeable membrane is used as a biofilm carrier, and bubble-less oxygen transfer allows for a counter-diffusional mechanism where the electron donor (NH4+,
biodegradable organics) and electron acceptor (O2) reach the biofilm from opposing sides. The paper reports results form the largest MABR installation in the world, demonstrating the beneficial impact of the technology in terms of improved process r...

EXPLOITING THE POTENTIAL OF POLYETHYLENE MECHANICAL RECYCLING: ECONOMIC AND SUSTAINABILITY ANALYSIS
Environmental Engineering and Management Journal › Vol. 19 › Nr. 10 Plastic and circular economy are key words that characterize our present and seek to address the future of the global social economic system. Plastic, on the one hand, is the emblem of modern times, a low cost material with unparalleled functional properties. Circular economy, on the other hand defines an alternative model to traditional economy that focuses on sustainability. In this work, the author presents a case study relating to a virtuous example of circular economy applied to the industr...

EVALUATION OF THE EFFECT OF ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS ON WILDLIFE ROADKILL IN CENTRAL TURKEY
Environmental Engineering and Management Journal › Vol. 19 › Nr. 12 Transport networks, including highways, have many negative ecological impacts, such as habitat loss and landscape fragmentation. One of the most consicuous negative effects is wildlife vehicle collision (WVC). The basic aims of this study, conducted on the
Kırıkkale-Çankırı Highway, Turkey, are the following: i) identifying locations of WVC events, ii) modeling the effects of landscape pattern and traffic characteristics on WVC and iii) proposing a solution to mitigate WVC. In the st... Autori: Ali UÄźur Ă–zcan ISSN: 1843 - 3707 http://www.ecozone.ro/reviste.php?RID=28337
FACTORS INFLUENCING STUDENTS’ ENVIRONMENTAL BEHAVIOR FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
Environmental Engineering and Management Journal › Vol. 20 › Nr. 1 The present study proposes to identify some important factors for sustainable environmental development. Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 4 from Agenda 2030 is focused on education including university. In addition, higher education has a
central role in delivering a number of the other SDGs. The universities become a role model of sustainable development and environmental protection behavior and practices. The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between environmental
attitu... Autori: Sinan Saraçli ISSN: 1843 - 3707 http://www.ecozone.ro/reviste.php?RID=28345 |
