No full textSocial Life Cycle Assessment e turismo: applicazione ad una struttura ricettiva
No full text"Come è noto, la sostenibilità costituisce un importante fattore di competitività, aumentando il valore. aggiunto di un’azienda in termini di immagine e credibilità. Tuttavia è importante che le valutazioni. di sostenibilità siano effettivamente affrontate in un’ottica globale; pertanto, accanto a strumenti. quali, ad esempio, la LCA, che analizzano gli impatti ambientali lungo l’intero ciclo di vita di un. prodotto\/processo e servizio, si vanno affermando strumenti utili per valutare in maniera più. articolata ed organica anche gli impatti sociali. Tra questi, è particolarmente significativa la Social. Life Cycle Assessment (SLCA) che, essendo ancora nella sua fase iniziale di sviluppo, non viene. ancora applicata attraverso strumenti globalmente condivisi; tuttavia presenta caratteristiche. metodologiche estremamente promettenti.. Per tali ragioni ci è sembrato interessante proporne una prima applicazione alle attività turistiche. che, per le particolari caratteristiche di erogazione del servizio, meglio di altre si prestano. all’elaborazione di dati riconducibili alla sostenibilità sociale.. L’obiettivo di questo lavoro è stato quello di analizzare l’impatto sociale di una struttura ricettiva con. dati dedotti a partire dagli strumenti di contabilità sociale e di gestione aziendale, nonché di valutare. il ciclo di vita e l’impatto sociale delle attività della struttura alberghiera. Infine sono stati individuati. i punti critici dell’organizzazione in termini sociali, per trarne spunti di miglioramento.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
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
The application of EMAS regulation in the Italian food industry: a reliable data source for LCA
No full textThe EMAS Regulation is a key voluntary tool amongst those proposed by the European Union for organizations to manage their environmental impacts. The link with Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is quite evident since, apart from the focus on environmental impacts that these tools share, the correct implementation of the Environmental Management System (EMS) required to obtain EMAS registration allows gathering a great deal of information that can be used in an LCA. The survey presented in this paper focuses on Italian EMAS registered enterprises in the food sector, their view on this tool and in particular, the environmental impacts, the drivers to register, the difficulties encountered and the benefits achieved. Moreover, to identify the particularities of the food industry, the results from this sector are compare with those of all other registered organizations
A survey about the application of EMAS Regulation 761/2001 in the italian waste management sector
No full textThe main objective of the European EMAS Regulation is the reduction of enterprises environmental impacts through the setup and periodic revision of a comprehensive environmental management system (EMS): For those firms that operate in the waste treatment and disposal industry this represents a key issue and therefore this paper focuses on the application of the EMAS Regulation in this sector by registered Italian firms. The main tool of the study is a questionnaire that gave an interesting insight of the motivations of registration, the advantages that have been observed as well as the desired changes of the present version of the Regulation, and the difficulties encountered though the registration process
