Social And Environmental Impacts

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to identify and categorize the social and environmental impacts of transportation systems, and address the appropriate solutions to mitigate and manage these impacts in order to achieve sustainability. Design/methodology/approach – This research performs a comprehensive literature review to suggest a framework on socio-environmental impacts of transportation and related solutions. The proposed framework is analyzed through quantitative methods and a survey study in freight transport. Findings – Findings support the direct relation of potential solutions and socio-environmental impacts of transportation. All four categories of solutions (technological, socio-economic and political, cultural and behavioral, and infrastructure related) reveal direct impact on reduction of environmental impacts. However only technological solutions were found to be influential on social impacts of the transportation. Originality/value – To the best of the authors’ knowledge there has not been any comprehensive framework covering social and environmental impacts of transportation in the literature. In addition, this paper categorizes potential solutions to enhance socio-environmental performance of the transportation and investigates their effectiveness.

Over Time

People’s Housing requirements commonly transition over time, and there are financial, social and environmental impacts associated with altering and moving houses. With possible future alteration in mind, this paper looks at the viability of deliberately incorporating flexibility into houses at the time they are designed and built, as compared with no specifically incorporated flexibility (yet still possibly capable of being altered). A comparative analysis, rather than an absolute analysis, is outlined. The financial viability is performed as an options analysis, while the social and environmental matters are evaluated along life cycle assessment lines. As a case example, the paper considers the viability of incorporating deliberate two-storey flexibility into a single-storey house using Australian practices. It is shown on the case example that incorporating deliberate built-in flexibility can perform positively against all sustainability criteria – financial, social and environmental, separately or combined – however the generality of this conclusion remains to be proven.

Social And Environmental Impacts

The increasing concern and focus on the social and environmental impacts lead many companies to consider making a social and environmental report. The report was intended to the external parties; however, it may benefit the internal parties especially for the manager in conducting the project. This research aimed to obtain empirical evidence on the influence of the social and environmental information to the manager decision. The population of this research was the students from the private university in Semarang who have enrolled in Akuntansi Manajemen and Sistem Pengendalian Manajemen (the management accounting and management control system), and the sample was 98 students. The research employed One Way ANOVA using SPSS. The result of this study indicated that social and environmental information significantly influenced the manager decision.

Social And Environmental Impacts

This paper traces the evolution of mining law in Mexico, including the most recent round of reform, and discusses the social and environmental impacts of mining in the region of Soconusco in the state of Chiapas. A set of mining reforms that passed between 2013 and 2014 provided the necessary impetus for a rise in mining investments in Mexico. These reforms have been couched in the language of “new extractivism.” In this approach favored by the left, extractivism is embraced as a development strategy along with the goal of redistributing some of the revenues to rural areas where these activities take place. In addition, these communities are to be consulted on how the funds will be spent. As fortunes have been made, however, the results have fallen short where environmental protection and community support are concerned.

Social And Environmental Impacts

Purpose: This case aims to enable students to learn about environmental impacts and their effects and allow them to use methods of economic valuation of the environment to internalize externalities related to environmental and social impacts. The product in question is widely used what can make students identify themselves with the case. Then, they will be more interested in the problem identified in this case which is the non-internalization of externalities (social and environmental impacts). Methodology: The methodology of this teaching case is qualitative. Students read, discuss and apply the subject. Upon reading the case, students learn the steps of the laundry washing process. Students can identify the direct and indirect environmental and social impacts and their consequences by reading and discussing the case. Finally, they can apply the methods of economic valuation of the environment. Results: It is possible to identify the social and environmental impacts and analyze and discuss these impacts on management and accounting. Study Contributions: We hope that people can use this teaching case in undergraduate and graduate courses in environment and sustainability topics and topics related to costs and management.
