Resumen La transferencia de tecnología sostenible es compleja para las firmas de construcción. Una posible solución es analizar esa clase de transferencia como una red social ya que, si se identifican las diferentes relaciones entre los actores del sector construcción, es posible evaluar la capacidad de adaptación tecnológica de dichos actores. El objetivo fue evaluar la transferencia de tecnología sostenible entre empresas constructoras internacionales que se dedican a construir vivienda social o accesible. Para esto, se identificaron dos países con capacidad de transferencia de tecnología sostenible (Reino Unido y Estados Unidos) y dos países de menor capacidad tecnológica y con potencial de adaptarse a dichas tecnologías (Brasil y Colombia); posteriormente, se seleccionaron cinco firmas constructoras por cada país, con las cuales se hizo un análisis de redes (grado, intensidad, cercanía y densidad), y luego, procesos de simulación. Como resultado se identificó la capacidad de transferencia tecnológica que tienen las empresas latinoamericanas para aceptar y adaptar tecnologías de empresas de países industrializados, y se espera poder desarrollar indicadores de medición del proceso de transferencia tecnológica que permitan comprender mejor la complejidad de este proceso en el área de la vivienda social.

A possible solution is to analyze it as a social network since, if the different relationships between the actors in the construction sector are identified, it is possible to evaluate the technological adaptation capacity of these actors. The objective was to evaluate the transfer of sustainable technology between international construction companies that are dedicated to building social or accessible housing. For this, two countries with the capacity to transfer sustainable technology (United Kingdom and the United States) and two countries with less technological capacity and with the potential to adapt to these technologies (Brazil and Colombia) were identified, then 5 construction firms were selected for each country with which an analysis of networks (degree, intensity, proximity and density) and then simulation processes was carried out. As a result, the technological transfer capacity of Latin American companies to accept and adapt technologies from companies in industrialized countries was identified and it is hoped to be able to develop indicators of measurement of the technology transfer process that allows a better understanding of the complexity of this process in the area of Social Housing Keywords: technological adaptation, sustainable buildings, construction industry, construction sector, technology transfer, accessible housing, social housing   Recibido: enero 3 / 2019  Evaluado: julio 9 / 2019  Aceptado: noviembre 4 / 2019 Publicado en línea: noviembre de 2019                               Actualizado: noviembre de 2019

Aquaponics is a new agricultural industry with potential in Kazakhstan. It is the combined culture of fish and plants in a recycling aquaculture system. The plants use the nutrients from fish effluent for growth. Through environmentally sustainable technology, locally grown high value products can be produced and marketed year round. Aquaponics operations are inherently diversified operations as they offer two profit centres: fish and plants. Аquaponics facilities contain contains plant and fish components together in one recirculation system. The fish water, rich in nutrients, is used for plant growth, while the plants are used as biofilters for water regeneration.

<p>This paper examines India’s urban challenges, successive policies of urban development and their impact on the much needed urban transformation. It examines successive policies, plans, and approaches to meet the ever rising urban challenges from the first Five Year Plan till the end of planning era and also underscores the highlights of urban planning through the entire five-year plan period. In the process, it investigates whether the ubiquitous urban deficit in India is actually due to the so-called 'reluctant urbanization' and whether the current policy of creating hundred smart cities can lead to urban transformation in India. This paper is based on the analysis of the available secondary data from various sources. By critically examining the available secondary data this paper explores whether India’s urban deficit is a result of poor planning or lack of long term vision and strategy to meet the emerging urban challenges. This paper also critically looks into the emerging ICT-driven paradigms and design of the ‘smart cities’ as models of urban transformation and juxtaposes them to India's own vision of creating hundred smart cities to ensure urban transformation. The paper concludes that any urban transformation should be socially inclusive, economically viable and environmentally sustainable. Technology should not be the end rather the means for bringing urban transformation and building smart cities.</p>
