The Way

This chapter discusses how a systems method for sharing perspectives on and then agreeing sustainability indicators was conceived and then applied in a wide variety of places. Central to this method's evolution were the intentions of its initial creators and the contributions of the different project collaborators and participants in the related workshops. Central to the method's effectiveness are the way two diagram types were used to visualise, and make more relevant to specified communities, indicators of environmental sustainability. The chapter is also another example of the interplay between method and visualisation, both of the method and within the method, and that it can be difficult to say which is the chicken and which is the egg. They are complementary parts of a holistic and ongoing process, particularly where the main objective is action to improve people's lives rather than research on people's lived experiences.

Purpose Rapid changes in the environment escalate the requirement of environmental sustainability assessment within built environment. The purpose of this paper is to model the environmental sustainability of facilities management (FM) functions in apparel industry in Sri Lanka. Design/methodology/approach A comprehensive literature review was carried out in order to identify the importance of sustainability assessment for FM, sustainable FM functions and their environmental sustainability indicators. Subsequently, a questionnaire survey was carried out to determine a relative weight of the sustainable FM functions and environmental sustainability indicators through the analytical hierarchy process analysis. Findings Energy management was identified as the most significant FM function in terms of environmental sustainability in apparel industry with a relative performance of 49.12 per cent. Subsequently, the functions of water management (29.39 per cent), maintenance management (11.98 per cent) and waste management (9.64 per cent) obtained the second, third and fourth ranks while asset management (7.85 per cent) was the function which had the least performance score. Relative weights for the environmental sustainability indicators were also determined. Research limitations/implications In respect of the apparel industry, the developed model can be utilised for assessing the environmental sustainability of FM in broader term. Originality/value No proper mechanism was found to assess the sustainability of FM in apparel sector since very fewer research studies were focussed on achieving environmental sustainability in different industries. Hence, the assessment of environmental sustainability of FM in apparel industry is an emerging necessity in the present day, which was addressed in this research.

Sustainable tourism is a type of tourism activity that continues to conserve, provide various facilities in areas that have tourist attractions, whether related to the environment or culture, as well as modernize the social structure in the area to become an economic activity that can contribute to national income, improving the living standards of the local community. This study aims to identify the factors of sustainability indicators. Interviews based on a set of questionnaires were conducted with 125 respondents in Ranau, Sabah. Factor analysis yielded five factors of economic sustainability indicators (indicators of tourist spending on accommodation, indicators of job creation and income generation, indicators of tourist attraction, indicators of tourist origin, as well as indicators of related industries and support), three factors of indicators of social sustainability (indicators of infrastructure and infrastructure, traditional and cultural conservation indicators, as well as management and conservation indicators), and two environmental sustainability indicator factors (environmental education indicators and training courses and research and enforcement indicators).
