ABSTRACT

The tourism sector has a strong attraction to visitors. The increasing number of visitors encourages the creation of sustainable tourism. Sustainability is strongly related to stakeholders, so it can not be excluded. This study aims to analyze stakeholder roles in environmental management in the tourism sector. This study uses a literature review as the method. This study shows that stakeholders with various roles supported the tourism sector. Visitors are the critical actor in environmental protection, and the community was another actor with support from the government to the tourism business actors. Various stakeholder interests and priorities were not obstacles to the management. To unite the goals and vision, it needs commitment and cooperation to reach environmental protection.

ABSTRACT

At present, the world has experienced great and serious problems with the arrival of the COVID-19 pandemic and, of course, among the sectors that present the most inconveniences is face-to-face university education;therefore, higher education centers seek teaching methodologies to put students into practice. For this reason, the creation and implementation of the virtual laboratory is an alternative solution to this problem;For this, technical criteria were proposed that were evaluated through weighted factors and the analysis of three alternatives that can contribute to the design of the virtual laboratory was carried out;these are Second life, Unity 3D and Virtual plant, selecting the most appropriate tool that responds to the needs of use. Unity 3D is the tool that best contributes to each of the proposed criteria, obtaining a virtual environment for practical learning of students through a virtual tour of a simulated industrial company for the artisan manufacture of chocolates with the SKETCHUP tool, during their journey through an avatar in the company the student interacts and finds questions based on the actual exposure of the avatar to occupational hazards and the environmental management that must be fulfilled within the company with response options based on knowledge learned in class, thus achieving content feedback and decision-making in the face of physical and environmental occupational risks. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.

ABSTRACT

CONTEXT It is essential that supervision and management practices of Final Year Engineering Projects (FYEPs) maintains the quality of education and achieves AQF Level 8 outcomes even during the unprecedented situation due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In this situation, students cannot attend face-to-face meetings with supervisors, cannot perform practical/laboratory-based research, and cannot use software labs for their modelling and simulation works (if applicable). To achieve learning outcomes at AQF Level 8, some strategies and alternative pathways were developed to overcome the impacts of COVID-19 for supervising and managing FYEPs. PURPOSE OR GOAL The goal of the paper is to assess the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the supervision and management practices of FYEPs. The paper also discusses the effectiveness of the technology we used for supervision and management of FYEPs, and how the supervisor and student relationship and engagement can effectively be maintained during this COVID-19. APPROACH OR METHODOLOGY/METHODS The traditional modes of supervision and management of FYEPs (theses) such as face-to-face meetings, laboratory works, and use of simulation labs were changed to virtual/online operation only to provide essential feedback and directions to the students for their projects. The online communication and learning and teaching tools such as Zoom links, chat windows, outlook team, etc., were employed for maintaining weekly progress (planned tasks). A Google doc communication channel was also considered for each student to monitor their weekly progress. ACTUAL OR ANTICIPATED OUTCOMES The students' feedback suggests that students were generally happy with the new ways of student engagement in FYEPs/thesis supervision and management. More specifically, they indicated that they were very happy with the online presentations of mid-term progress and final presentations (direct zoom presentation or recorded video) which were less stressful as opposed to face-to-face presentations. They were able to concentrate more to achieve project outcomes without spending much time on travelling to university. CONCLUSIONS/RECOMMENDATIONS/SUMMARY Although there were a few challenges in adapting online supervision and management of FYEPs during COVID-19 pandemic environment, student feedback suggests that they are happy with the online system too.

ABSTRACT

The purpose of the study is to identify and evaluate the impact of knowledge dynamics processes on the effectiveness of the project implementation of changes in product distribution channels under conditions of the COVID-19 pandemic. Implementation of changes is a result of external circumstances related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Adaptation activities can be based on project management aimed at changing existing distribution channels in a turbulent environment. With reference to the considerations presented in the study, it can be pointed out that knowledge management processes allow to observe and describe changes in the environment, indicating the justification of emerging threats and opportunities in the company's environment and the company's response, particularly under COVID-19 pandemic conditions, which fills an identified research gap. The implication from the research is that there is a significant impact of external conditions, shaped by the COVID-19 pandemic, on the implemented project of changing sales in different distribution channels, which can be neutralized by the effectiveness of knowledge management in the company. The research methods used to achieve the stated objective are literature study, descriptive analysis and case study. The empirical research was based on a company making its sales in the European market. The study period was 2018-2020. The research problem is important and current issue because of possibility of achieving companies knowledge increment and increase the effectiveness of project implementation in the perspective of changes in the external environment. © 2022, Academic Conferences and Publishing International Limited.

ABSTRACT

As the importance of building indoor environments has increased recently due to the COVID-19 pandemic, so has the research on the interrelationship among daylight, human health, and building design. More researchers are studying how daylight affects human health and whether currently known daylighting metrics target human health in addition to building environmental performance. This article provides an updated review of the current review of the literature in the field of daylighting design and human health, particularly as it relates to the impact of daylighting on circadian rhythm, sleep quality and performance. The main objective for this study is to analyze the interrelationships between daylight, health, and design. The review of these articles reveals eight different factors relevant to daylight, in terms of the way daylight impacts people's health, namely light spectrum, light levels, timing and duration of exposure to light. In terms of health impact, these articles outline direct and indirect health outcomes. In addition, our review of the existing literature indicates that there is a lack of proper daylighting metrics as far as design applications. © 2022, College Publishing. All rights reserved.

ABSTRACT

24-25 August, 2022Surakarta, IndonesiaThis conference was held by Research and Development Centre for Biotechnology and Biodiversity (P3BB) Universitas Sebelas Maret in collaboration with:Indonesia Diaspora Network - UnitedFaculty of Agriculture, Universitas Sebelas Maret, IndonesiaFaculty of Art and Design, Universitas Sebelas Maret, IndonesiaFaculty of Economic and Business, Universitas Sebelas Maret, IndonesiaBrief of the meetingInternational Conference on Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, abbreviated ICSAE, is a circuit meeting held since 2013. This conference is internationally recognized around the globe for its topic on sustainable agriculture and the environment. As we know, agriculture and the environment are essential for human beings, especially for food resources and other materials needed. It's also not just about food, agriculture, and the environment are involved in economics, politics, design, and many related areas. This year, on August 24-25, 2022, this conference is held online in Surakarta, Indonesia, and is known as ICSAE-9. Sustainable is the keyword in agricultural and environmental management to assure global food security and maintain the high quality of human life. Accordingly, this conference is held to identify ideas, practices, and policies that constitute our concept of sustainable agriculture and the environment. We aim to provide a platform for researchers, academics, and practicing professionals worldwide to present their research and professional development activities in agriculture, environment, food, and other relevant subjects.Two years of the Covid-19 pandemic circumstances have taught us that the online method of delivering the conference effectively broadens the conference participant and disseminates the result. In ICSAE-9, we invite speakers to share their valuable information and knowledge. All the presentation mechanism was done by using the Zoom meeting online platform. There were 4 plenary sessions, 6 rooms for participants to present their specific topics, and a poster session. The ICSAE-9 received 162 papers presented virtually in oral and poster format. Per the presenter, the oral format was allocated for 10 minutes and 5 minutes Q n A, while the posters were presented digitally through the ICSAE website. To be more flexible, all the presentations from the presenter were recorded and uploaded to YouTube. Hence participants (commonly the non-registered ones) that can't attend life can see the presentation in their flexible time. This is also the solution for the participants who don't have a proper internet connection.At last, we would like to thank all the committee and all the participants for their contribution to the ICSAE-9. We do hope we can meet again in the future meeting.ICSAE-9 ChairList of committees are available in this pdf.

ABSTRACT

During the early stages of the Covid pandemic, the oil and gas industry was faced with significant challenges in executing inspections for ageing offshore oil and gas infrastructure together with the management of various operational integrity threats. These challenges were addressed through the collaborative development of remote, digital techniques to minimise inspector time offshore and maximise efficiency. This initially involved a review and challenge of our existing operational integrity management lifecycle, comprising systems data, risk-based strategy development, inspection planning, inspection execution, data management, anomaly management (including fabric maintenance and engineering repairs) and closeout. Working with our partner, GDi, we sought to drive a step change into digital integrity management, combined with streamlined workflows, activities, and administrative tasks. The pilot development involved comprehensive laser scanning of a floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) facility to generate a dimensionally accurate digital twin, overlayed with 360° HD photogrammetry to provide a thorough baseline for subsequent general visual inspections of pressure equipment, piping systems and structural elements. General visual inspections can now be executed remotely, without the requirement for an offshore inspector. The digital twin environment also supported transformation of inspector-led activities, through optimisation of processes, digital inspection workflows via tablets and seamless integration with the integrity management platform. The pilot development also involved enhancing the anomaly risk management process, including management of mitigations (such as temporary repairs) and actions required to resolve and close anomalies. For the anomaly actions, the digital twin environment enables the accurate estimation of fabric maintenance scopes and dimensionally accurate repairs for corrective work orders. The system also facilitates a unique overview of cumulative risk via the plotting of anomalies in the digital twin space. The digitally enhanced operational integrity management system has substantially reduced direct costs and personnel safety risks, enabled substantial improvements in productivity (up to 200% for inspections), and improved the quality of integrity management outcomes.

ABSTRACT

There have been changes in social attitudes in recent years. These changes have been a consequence of a new societal view of the common good, which manifests itself in social responsibility for a clean and healthy environment. The outbreak and spread of the COVID-19 epidemic has highlighted the socio-spatial variation across regions and countries. The epidemic necessitated restrictive measures by state authorities. In the initial period in many countries, the actions of the authorities were identical throughout the country. This was mainly due to a lack of information about the differentiation of areas in relation to the epidemic risk. The aim of the research was to present a model for classifying rural areas taking into account vulnerability to epidemic threats. The model takes into account demographic, social, economic and spatial-environmental development factors. A total of 33 indicators based on public statistics that can be used to determine the area's vulnerability to epidemic threats were identified. The study showed that for Poland, 11 indicators are statistically significant to the developed classification model. The study found that social factors were vital in determining an area's vulnerability to epidemic threats. We include factors such as average number of persons per one apartment, village centers (number), events (number), number of people per facility (cultural center, community center, club, community hall), residents of nursing homes per 1000 inhabitants, and the number of children in pre-school education establishments per 1000 children aged 3-5 years. The research area was rural areas in Poland. The results of the classification and the methods used should be made available as a resource for crisis management. This will enable a better response to threats from other epidemics in the future, and will influence the remodeling of the environment and social behavior to reduce risks at this risk, which has a significant impact on sustainable development in rural areas.

ABSTRACT

This research aims to explore the intricate nature of the association between green attitudes and well-being in the workplace. Based on the basic human value theory, this study attempted to unearth the moderating effects of its two main bipolar segments, namely self-transcendence-self-enhancement and openness to change-conservation. A quantitative approach with a sample of 1,532 hospitality employees from 35 European countries was used. We found that a green attitude contributes to deriving employee well-being. Further, we found empirical support for the influence of human values, in the sense that this relationship is reinforced among the workers who are more altruistic and receptive to changes. Moreover, this research suggests strategies oriented to reduce environmental degradation and achieve sustainable development in the hospitality sector. This article provides ideas to cope with the challenges posed by COVID-19, particularly in the hospitality industry seriously damaged by the pandemic where the future of many jobs is in jeopardy. © 2022, Tech Science Press.

ABSTRACT

Intense tourism is a common occurrence in environments with very attractive natural traits and that host important ecosystem services, such as islands and coastal environments. However, these activities can cause impacts and loss of ecosystem services, thus requiring assessments about tourism activities and how to manage their complexity. Thus, the objective of the present study was to carry out an environmental impact assessment based on ecosystems in two islands with strong tourist pressure in the state of Santa Catarina, Brazil. The islands analyzed were Anhatomirim and Campeche, and the methodology used was the ecosystem-based Survey of Environmental Aspects and Impacts (SEAI), carried out by means of structured technical visits following a bibliographic analysis of the study area. Results indicated that the analysis model constructed can contribute to decision-making in environmental management, as it enabled a clear and objective identification of the main aspects, environmental impacts, and ecosystem services that are somehow connected. Among the negative impacts observed, the most relevant were water pollution, impaired health of wild animals, loss of biodiversity, and the spread of Covid-19. In turn, the most prominent positive impact was the generation of employment and income. The demand for environmental education projects in the tourist system that involves the two islands is also highlighted. Thus, this investigation was shown to be useful for the identification of the main anthropic elements derived from tourism that affect these ecosystems.

ABSTRACT

While Rwanda is aiming at environmental pollution resilience and green growth, some industries are still discharging untreated effluent into the environment. This study gives a general overview of the compliance level of industrial effluent discharge in Rwanda and the linked negative environmental impacts. It comprises qualitative and quantitative analyses of data obtained from wastewater samples collected from five selected industries in Rwanda. The selected industries had previously been audited and monitored by the Rwanda Environment Management Authority (REMA), due to complains from neighboring residents. The study found that the effluent discharge from wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) for all concerned industries failed to comply with (i) oil and grease (O&G) national and international tolerable parameter limits or the (ii) fecal coliforms national standard. In addition, a compliance level of 66.7% was observed for key water quality monitoring parameters (pH, dissolved oxygen (DO), biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD), total suspended solids (TSS), and heavy metals (i.e., lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), and chromium (Cr)). Following these study findings, one industry was closed by the REMA for deliberately discharging untreated effluent into an adjacent river. This study recommends the adoption of the best available technology for effluent treatment, installation or renovation of existing WWTPs, and the relocation to industrial zones of industries adjacent to fragile environments.

ABSTRACT

During the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) emergency, many hospitals were built or renovated around the world to meet the challenges posed by the rising number of infected cases. Environmental management in the hospital life cycle is vital in preventing nosocomial infection and includes many infection control procedures. In certain urgent situations, a hospital must be completed quickly, and work process approval and supervision must therefore be accelerated. Thus, many works cannot be checked in detail. This results in a lack of work liability control and increases the difficulty of ensuring the fulfillment of key infection prevention measures. This study investigates how blockchain technology can transform the work quality inspection workflow to assist in nosocomial infection control under a fast delivery requirement. A blockchain-based life-cycle environmental management framework is proposed to track the fulfillment of crucial infection control measures in the design, construction, and operation stages of hospitals. The proposed framework allows for work quality checking after the work is completed, when some work cannot be checked on time. Illustrative use cases are selected to demonstrate the capabilities of the developed solution. This study provides new insights into applying blockchain technology to address the challenge of environmental management brought by rapid delivery requirements.

ABSTRACT

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is a highly infectious virus which has caused the Coronavirus disease – 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak in 2019, and, in a very short time, it has infected people all over the world. In fact, WHO declared it as pandemic in March 2020. The adaptation of SARS-CoV-2 was found to be originated from interaction between several hosts, which makes it a potential zoonotic agent. Regarding the survival of virus on the environment, it is important to assess the period of infectivity, which differs among different surfaces. This chapter highlights the viability of virus on different contaminated surfaces, also focusing on metagenomic interactions. To investigate the potential directions for the evolution of this pandemic in the future, SARS-CoV-2 requires a reliable tool to access crucial details regarding the adaptation and evolution of the virus in the environment. Bioinformatic tools play an important role in identifying the similarity and variations in the Open Reading Frames (ORFs) of the viral genomes to elucidate the phytogenic relationships. In this regard, this chapter discusses about recent advances in bioinformatic tools to track the evolution of SARS-CoV-2 in the soil and aquatic ecosystem. New technologies are coming into existence with a new aspect of solving some social problems. Hence, in this work a reliable in silico tool for metagenomic analysis of SARS-CoV-2 variants in the environment has been discussed. Overall, this study tries to shed further light on aspect that could help to understand different types of robotics and techniques used for soil and aquatic system, with the main aim of accessing to relevant details on SARS-CoV-2 in the environment. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.

ABSTRACT

Developing a deeper understanding of the human dimensions of coral reef restoration and monitoring is imperative in efforts to sustain and restore the world's coral reefs, which are experiencing catastrophic declines. This article reports on the methodologies used to conduct interdisciplinary fieldwork that began in June 2020, investigating how coral restoration practitioners navigated the ecological and societal changes impacting reef restoration and monitoring strategies for the Florida Reef Tract. The necessity to limit face-to-face contact due to the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in shifts in the way the researchers communicated with stakeholders regarding environmental management practices. The research team utilized digital ethnographic methodologies to investigate the challenges in testing and implementing monitoring methods used for coral reef restoration. This paper discusses the impact of conducting interdisciplinary team-based research and community engagement during a pandemic. The challenges and opportunities in conducting virtual ethnographic interviews from multi-leveled stakeholder groups through online communication platforms are explored. This work found that the COVID-19 pandemic restructured the way research can be conducted to reach stakeholders who would be unavailable using traditional in-person data collection strategies.

ABSTRACT

A watershed plays significant roles for maintaining the balance of ecosystem, particularly on the fluvial landform dynamics. Bedog Sub-Watershed as a part of Progo Watershed flows across 11 sub-districts from Sleman and Bantul Regency. This sub-watershed indicates rural-urban characteristics and multi-aspects problems, such as the loss of croplands, a massive land-use changes into built-up area, and the decrease of environmental carrying capacity. On the purposes of preventing the negative aftermaths, this research aimed to create the strategies of sustainable environmental management in case of Bedog Sub-Watershed. This research used secondary data from regional planning products, PODES data, and the relevant literature. Primary data was acquired from in-depth interview with BPDASHL Serayu-Opak-Progo and agricultural-related government agency to gain governmental perspective of watershed management. This research used qualitative descriptive technique to analyse the result of interview. Livelihood assets were calculated by scoring index. The SWOT and DPSIR analysis were conducted to create the relevant strategies implying physical, social-economy, and regional development perspectives in the post-COVID-19 pandemic. The strengthening of government’s institutional aspects was the key to the management followed by necessary comprehensive study in Bedog Sub-Watershed management.

ABSTRACT

Landscape is very dynamic [1,2,3]. In line with the development of an increasingly climate change [4] and high population, the dynamics of the landscape have also changed due to an increase in the intensity of the population in utilizing land. The condition of the corona virus pandemic since the beginning of 2020 has resulted in two impacts to the environment. On the one hand it has provided a positive impact in the form of improving environmental conditions due to reduction on population mobility and natural resources exploitation, but on the other hand it has also increased the number of dangerous waste, e.g. increasing mask waste accumulation.The Faculty of Geography Universitas Gadjah Mada, Yogyakarta-Indonesia, notably the Department of Environmental Geography has been working for a long time on environmental issues. In order to highlight the topic of environmental resource management in the global region and to broaden perspectives on this subject, the Faculty will organize the 4th International Conference on Environmental Resources Management in Global Region (ICERM).List of ICERM 2021 Committee are available in this pdf.
