With increased emphasis on environmental quality objectives in water resources planning and management, past practices of simply considering water quality as the only environmental quality objective are inappropriate. Expanded environmental quality objectives include maintenance of high quality aquatic habitat. Water resource systems must provide both physical and chemical conditions appropriate for the propagation and maintenance of healthy diverse aquatic communities. Managing water resources to provide high quality habitat involves planning to meet both water quality and water quantity objectives. Existing technology based water quality controls and stream based water quality criteria can now be supplemented by aquatic habitat management. An approach to aquatic habitat management is illustrated by use of the Incremental Methodology developed by the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The Incremental Methodology uses measures of aquatic habitat to assess instream flows required for by aquatic life. Thus the range of environmental quality objectives in resources planning and management is expanded by application of these methods to include aquatic habitat as well as water quality management. Methods used to determine instream flow needs for rivers in Illinois are reviewed, and the use of this information in developing regulations limiting water extraction for off stream use are described. Aquatic habitat based management is shown to provide workable methods to meet expanded environmental quality objectives in water resources planning and management.

Media sport has a long history as a significant site of media innovation, and existing work in media and cultural studies has explored how media sport, technological innovation and regulatory frameworks interact. However, this work often focuses on how major actors such as broadcasting organisations, sporting bodies and telecommunications companies mediate sport. As a complementary strategy to this ‘top-down’ analysis, we approach media sport through the lens of practice, which allows us to understand everyday forms of engagement with, and consumption of, media sport in a clearer fashion. The article analyses existing policy discourses and social commentaries centred on the targeted ‘high-quality’ or ‘high-tech technological’ innovation, and argues that users of sports media are also motivated by series of cultural rewards and varied tradeoffs that do not map neatly onto industrial categories of quality or media consumption trends.

With the increasingly prominent problems of global resource consumption and environmental pollution, industrial green transformation has become one of the requirements of China’s industrial development in the new era. However, there is a lack of research on the impact of technological innovation and technology introduction on the industrial green transformation of resource-based cities. To bridge this gap, this study uses the panel data of 115 resource-based cities in China from 2003 to 2016, and uses the dynamic panel generalized method of moments (GMM) estimation method to study the impact of technological innovation and technology introduction on industrial green transformation of resource-based cities. The results show that technology introduction has a negative effect on the industrial green transformation of resource-based cities, while technological innovation can have a positive effect. Meanwhile, technology introduction has imparted a greater role to technological innovation in promoting this transformation. In addition, the interactive effects between technological innovation and technology introduction have obvious heterogeneity on the industrial green transformation of different types of resource-based cities. Therefore, resource-based cities should continue to increase investment in scientific research, to constantly improve and consolidate their technological innovation ability, optimize foreign investment strategy in technology introduction, and strengthen the digestion and absorption of imported technology, while increasing technological innovation and personnel training.

Urban designers fail to design high quality environments either because of economical constraints or educational limitation. This study aims to compare physical environmental quality and education system in two countries, Palestine and Turkey. The quantity of design education departments in each country, the course contents in each department, the quantity and profession of instructors in each department, presence of a course related to environment and behaviour studies or design theories were compared. What needs to be improved in design education to create better environments is discussed as well as the directions for future studies.© 2016. The Authors.

Application of DPSIR framework (Drivers, Pressures, States, Impacts and Responses) aims to assess the current impact of the environment through a process starting with “driving forces” through “pressures” to “states” and “impacts” eventually leading to political “responses” in mineral mining in Luc Yen district. Research results show that the main drivers in Luc Yen are resources consumption (Wi = 3.675), the demand for industrial development (Wi = 3.575), followed by diversification and size of mines (Wi = 3.250). The environmental pressures are solid (Wi = 4.025), dust (Wi = 3.900) and wastewater (Wi = 3.625). The current state of environment is the most affected by air (Wi = 3.400). The soil and water are almost unaffected. The current environmental impacts have positive and negative social, economic and environmental impacts. Specifically, the positive impacts are employment opportunities, income (Wi = 3.325) and an increase in state budget (Wi = 3.000). There are no positive improvements of the environment related to mining activities, such as negative impacts on ecological landscape (Wi = 3.050) and infrastructure (Wi = 3.075). Improving environmental quality and mitigating environmental impacts have been applied, including innovative technology (Wi = 3.175), pollution monitoring and environmental quality monitoring (Wi = 3.400). Communication activities to enhance community participation in Luc Yen area were also highly appreciated by people (Wi = 3.375). Việc ứng dụng mô hình DPSIR (Drivers, Pressures, States, Impacts and Responses) nhằm mục đích đánh giá tác động môi trường theo một quá trình từ động lực, áp lực, hiện trạng và tác động đến đáp ứng để giải quyết vấn đề môi trường liên quan đến hoạt động khai thác khoáng sản tại huyện Lục Yên. Kết quả nghiên cứu cho thấy động lực dẫn tới hoạt động khai thác đá vôi trắng tại huyện Lục Yên là nhu cầu sử dụng tài nguyên (Wi = 3,675), nhu cầu phát triển hoạt động công nghiệp (Wi = 3,575), tiếp đến là sự đa dạng, quy mô các mỏ khoáng (Wi = 3,250). Áp lực môi trường là chất thải rắn (Wi = 4,025), tiếp đến là bụi (Wi = 3,900) và nước thải (Wi = 3,625). Hiện trạng môi trường tự nhiên hiện nay tại khu vực Lục Yên chịu ảnh hưởng mạnh nhất là không khí (trọng số Wi = 3,400), môi trường đất và nước gần như chưa bị tác động. Tác động môi trường hiện nay tại huyện Lục Yên thể hiện qua tác động đến môi trường xã hội và môi trường tự nhiên. Cụ thể, tác động giải quyết việc làm, tăng thu nhập (Wi = 3,325) và tăng ngân sách nhà nước (Wi = 3,000). Tác động tiêu cực tới cảnh quan sinh thái (Wi = 3,050) và cơ sở hạ tầng (Wi = 3,075). Các giải pháp cải thiện và giảm thiểu tác động môi trường đã áp dụng hiện nay là đổi mới công nghệ khai thác theo hướng tiên tiến (Wi = 3,175), giám sát ô nhiễm và quan trắc chất lượng môi trường (Wi = 3,400). Giải pháp truyền thông tăng cường sự tham gia của cộng đồng tại khu vực Lục Yên cũng được người dân đánh giá cao với trọng số (Wi = 3,375).
