Environment and the territory: Implementation of environmental management systems based on EMAS regulation at regional level

No full textThe quality of life in Padova Municipality and the ISO 14031 model. An experience to measuring urban sustainability by context indicators and performance indicators
No full textThe paper concerns the sustainability measurement in local context. The aim of the research is to define and to test tools and methodologies to measure efficiently the city’s quality life.
From the literature analysis it seams that the adopted indicators are generally unfitted to measure the urban sustainability. The reasons are:
• Well-known difficulty to analyse complex and interconnected aspects related to sustainability and quality of life,
• Clear lack of tools and methods to communicate to the people the results of analyses an then the subsequent difficulty to share information and decisions,
• Generally the measurement’s operations are quite separated from the decision making processes.
The contributions of this research proposal can be synthesized as below:
i. To identify and to apply tools of description and synthesis thanks to:
- disaggregated measures to favourite the learning and the analysis,
- aggregated measures to facilitate the communication and the sharing.
ii. To define an evaluation’s methodology coherently with the Local Agenda 21 process, using indicators able to guarantee:
- a continuous monitoring of the Quality of Life related to relevant and objective topics,
- a specific assessment of the local priorities management actions which are connected to the Local Action Plan

Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
