Penilaian Kitar Hayat (LCA) merupakan salah satu alat pengurusan alam sekitar. Terdapat beberapa alat pengurusan alam sekitar lain yang mirip dengan LCA yang menimbulkan kekeliruan di kalangan pengamalnya. Bagi merungkaikan permasalahan tersebut, satu analisis terhadap setiap alat dihuraikan berdasarkan 3 aspek, iaitu umum, kontekstual dan kaedah. Hasil analisis ini mendapati LCA diguna pakai dalam beberapa alat pengurusan bagi mencapai matlamat pendekatan tersebut. LCA dan alat pengurusan alam sekitar yang lain juga diperlukan bagi mencapai kelestarian alam sekitar. Data yang komprehensif dan mencukupi amat perlu bagi semua alat pengurusan alam sekitar agar objektif setiap alat tercapai. Kata kunci: Pembangunan mapan; penilaian kitar hayat (LCA); pendekatan pengurusan alam sekitar; alat-alat pengurusan alam sekitar Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is part of environmental management tools. Other tools have similarity with the LCA that cause confusion to practitioners. An analysis has been carried out to overcome this matter. The analysis is described based on three aspects: general, contextual and method. The analysis show that LCA is used in several management tools to achieve the goal of the approaches. LCA and other environmental management approaches are also essential for sustainable environment. The comprehensive and sufficient data are necessary to all environment management tools in order to ensure the objective from each tools are achieved. Key words: Sustainable development; life cycle assessment (LCA); environmental management approaches; environmental management tools

The article presents the issues of the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) use in contemporary ecological education, in relation to the problem of sustainable development. Based on the analysis of the literature, legal norms and strategic documents, the theoretical aspects of LCA as a tool used in numerous areas and environmental management processes were discussed and the significance of its use in the process of shaping ecological awareness of both the whole society and enterprises was demonstrated. The role of using computer programs based on LCA technology (such as SimaPro) in the teaching process at the higher education level was also emphasised.   Keywords: Environmental awareness, ecological education, sustainable development, LCA, life cycle assessment.

In Pakistan, construction and demolition waste(CDW) is generated in voluminous amount each year. CDW iswidely ill-handled and ultimately fed to landfills causing harm tothe already alarming environmental conditions. In order tosearch for the solution of this drastic matter, a study was done,which is explained in this paper. This paper presents the studydone at a demolition site near Karachi, in Sindh while thedemolition works were being carried out. At the site there wereold barracks which were being demolished. Before the demolitionworks were commenced, the site was surveyed and structuralcomponents of the barracks were counted and their dimensionswere measured. When the demolition was over, the demolishedwaste was calculated which comprised of concrete and masonryrubble, steel round bars, steel doors, steel windows, steel ceiling,steel girders, steel main gate, and plastic water tank. This studyinterpreted that construction and demolition (C&D) works wereprogressing considering the works’ deadline and the clients’requirements but the ecosystem’s ecology and the environmentalhealth were not taken into account. Recommendations are madeto handle CDW properly throughout its lifecycle. Theserecommendations aim to provide technological and logicalsolutions to grip CDW. The recommendations include wastereduction and reusing waste, life cycle assessment and costing,environmental and economic impact, material flow analysis, andadvanced computerized-tools.
