Recycling Facilities

Purpose This paper aims to address convenience as a prominent feature of a scheduled society and examines the nature of convenience, identifies the waste collection system and recycling programmes in some densely populated areas in Asia and discusses the existing barriers to enhancing the convenience of the recycling facilities in Hong Kong. The paper further identifies some recommendations for the policy and design of recycling practices and facilities. Design/methodology/approach In this qualitative study, two districts in Hong Kong from 2013 to 2014 were used as case studies. The research methods included field observations, semi-structured interviews and ethnographic research. The locations for field observation included lobbies, corridors, lifts, ground floors and streets. Direct interviews were conducted with residents, cleaners, government officials and expert planners and environmentalists. In-depth interviews and observations were conducted with six families following the interviews to identify important issues that might have been ignored in the semi-structured interviews and field observations. Findings A holistic understanding of convenience in a scheduled society is effective in the design of high-quality recycling facilities. In terms of convenience, the gap between recycling and not recycling is rather obvious in Hong Kong. Therefore, it is necessary and important to adjust the difference in the degree of convenience regarding refuse disposal and recyclable collection. In addition, the enhancement of economic incentives could shift the degree of convenience and encourage public participation in recycling. The challenges of specific living conditions and social contexts should also be taken into account to enhance the convenience of recycling. Research limitations/implications Further case studies are expected in other countries and cities with the purpose of gaining an in-depth understanding of the means by which to approach the convenience of recycling programmes within various social contexts. Comprehensive and continuous studies on these factors are recommended throughout the design and implementation processes to account for constantly changing situations. A clear understanding of convenience from the perspective of the users is important. Practical implications The findings provide reference and direction for a holistic approach to the design and management of recycling facilities in Hong Kong. The findings also advocate the consideration of convenience from the perspective of the users. Social implications The findings illustrate how to design and manage public facilities for waste recycling in ways that encourage household and community participation in terms of convenience. Originality/value The paper identifies the manner by which the culture of convenience and an institutionalised rhythm influence recycling practices. Although substantial studies on recycling indicate that convenience is a necessary characteristic of designs and services, the nature of convenience and the means by which to approach convenience in terms of public facilities are seldom discussed. The paper proposes several recommendations on the basis of the studies of the refuse collection programmes in other areas of Asia and case studies in Hong Kong. The findings provide insights for policymakers, researchers and designers to improve the design of public facilities.

Agitation from swells and long waves can pose serious challenges for harbours, in terms of both infrastructure design and operations. Wave gauge observations from Atlantic Canadian harbours of varying sizes were used to assess how combinations of basin dimensions and external wave forcing may lead to swell agitation, resonance, and scour problems. This paper summarizes how basin resonances were investigated with field observations, analytical methods, and then phase-resolving numerical models. The case studies illustrate how resonance mitigation may require substantial (and sometimes impractical) changes in harbour layout. Swell and scour mitigation may be more readily achieved by modifications or additions to existing structures.

Fasilitas umum terdiri dari sarana pokok keparawisataan, sarana penunjang, dan prasarana umum. Hal ini dilakukan dengan menganalisa kondisi yang ada saat ini berdasarakan studi kasus di desa yang sudah berhasil menyusun perencanaan serta perancangannya. Kajian ini menghasilkan konsep dan prinsip rencana dan rancangan fasilitas umum yang berkelanjutan di Desa Tongging Tongging Village as one of the tourist destinations in the Lake Toba region that has the potential to be developed. As the main requirement for developing Tongging Village as a tourist village, it must have decent, safe and comfortable public facilities. Especially on road facilities, parking lots, toilets and places of worship. But it is unfortunate that there are still public facilities that do not yet exist and are feasible in Tongging Village. Considering the development of this village, it is necessary to do the planning and design of these public facilities. This research was conducted using data from field observations that were analyzed qualitatively. Public facilities consist of principal tourism facilities, supporting facilities, and public infrastructure. This is done by analyzing the current conditions based on case studies in villages that have succeeded in compiling their plans and designs. This study produced the concepts and principles of the plan and design of sustainable public facilities in Tongging Village.

Kampung is one type of living space in a city with distinctive characteristics. Yogyakarta is one of the cities in Indonesia which still has a village as part of its inhabitant' living space, one of them is a riverbank kampung. The existence of a riverbank creates a unique physical setting in the kampung, which indirectly affects the creation of inhabitant interaction space. The uniqueness and limitations of the space become interesting to be observed further as a basis for understanding local wisdom in planning future village spaces. This study uses an exploratory method, which was carried out by field observations to collect data with case studies in Kampung Gampingan on Winongo riverbank. This study aimed to determine the variations in the physical settings of space used by residents to interact in the riverbank kampung. The results of this study found several characteristics of physical settings of kampung that affect citizens in conducting interactions, as the combination of the enclosure and spatial elements for a variety of community activities. These results are expected to be used as a reference in conducting the arrangement of Kampung Gampingan as one of the slums in the city of Yogyakarta in the future that is accommodating to the characteristics of the setting of interaction spaces of its citizens.

ABSTRACTThis paper addresses the issue of corporate sustainability. It examines why achieving sustainability is becoming an increasingly vital issue for society and organisations, defines sustainability and then outlines a set of phases through which organisations can move to achieve increasing levels of sustainability. Case studies are presented of organisations at various phases indicating the benefits, for the organisation and its stakeholders, which can be made at each phase. Finally the paper argues that there is a marked contrast between the two competing philosophies of neo-conservatism (economic rationalism) and the emerging philosophy of sustainability. Management schools have been strongly influenced by economic rationalism, which underpins the traditional orthodoxies presented in such schools. Sustainability represents an urgent challenge for management schools to rethink these traditional orthodoxies and give sustainability a central place in the curriculum.
