1. 11. Managing the flows? Furthering a socio-material flow methodology for industrial ecology

   Författare :Mathias Lindkvist; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; industrial ecology; actor-network-theory ANT ; methodology; action nets; socio-material; field studies; conceptualisation; material flow; review; life cycle assessment LCA ;

   Sammanfattning : This dissertation defends the thesis that application of the socio-material methodology that I present can assist environmentally more effective decision-making. The methodology provides a recipe for a systematic and accurate understanding of how human actions determine environmental impacts via material (tangible) flows. LÄS MER

3. 12. Towards a Sustainable Resource Management : A Broader Systems Approach to Product Design and Waste Management

   Författare :Jagdeep Singh; Björn Frostell; William Hogland; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Resource Management; Product Design; Waste Management Challenges; Systems Thinking; Sustainability Science; Industrial Ecology; Industriell ekologi; Resource Management; Product Design; Waste Management Challenges; Systems Thinking; Sustainability Science;

   Sammanfattning : Rapid economic growth, urbanisation and increasing population have caused (materially intensive) resource consumption to increase, and consequently the release of large amounts of waste to the environment. Numerous technological and operational approaches to resource management have been introduced throughout the system of production, consumption and waste management. LÄS MER

4. 13. Environmental preferences among steel stakeholders

   Författare :Stina Alriksson; Marianne Henningsson; Carl-Erik Grip; Anders Roos; Linnéuniversitetet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; conjoint analysis; environmental communication; focus group; light weighting; PLS; preferences; Q-methodology; risk perception; steel; stakeholders; Miljövetenskap; Environmental Science;

   Sammanfattning : Emissions of carbon dioxide, dioxins, nitrogen oxides and particulate matter as well as use of non-renewable resources and energy are some important sustainability challenges for the Swedish steel industry. Much effort has been made, mainly by technical solutions, which to a high degree have decreased the emissions during the last 30 years. LÄS MER

5. 14. SEA CHANGE : Social-ecological co-evolution in Baltic Sea fisheries

   Författare :Jonas Hentati-Sundberg; Henrik Österblom; Joakim Hjelm; Trevor Branch; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; resilience; social-ecological systems; complex adaptive systems; fisheries; Baltic Sea; Sustainability Science; vetenskap om hållbar utveckling;

   Sammanfattning : Sustainable management of natural resources requires an in-depth understanding of the interplay between social and ecological change. Linked social-ecological systems (SES) have been described as complex adaptive systems (CAS), which mean that they are irreducible, exhibit nonlinear dynamics, have interactions across scales and are uncertain and unpredictable.

7. 15. Harvesting from land and sea : Social relationships, trade networks, and spatial connectivity in changing social-ecological systems

   Författare :Blanca González García-Mon; Maja Schlüter; Örjan Bodin; Emilie Lindkvist; Bonnie McCay; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; social-ecological systems; food; trade; networks; embeddedness; supply chain; diversification; mobility; fisheries; agriculture; mixed-methods; vetenskap om hållbar utveckling; Sustainability Science;

   Sammanfattning : In the era of global change, the connectivity of aquatic and terrestrial food production systems across spatial scales is increasing. At the same time, diverse actors that participate in food systems, from production to consumption, face the need to adapt their daily activities to an increasingly changing context. LÄS MER
