Sustainability Principles

In order to successfully achieve sustainable development objectives, modern enterprises have to establish a framework and implement appropriate managerial tools for the effective integration of sustainability into business operations. The paper aims to clarify the concept of sustainable development in the mine management context, highlight the main principles of sustainable mining and devise appropriate tools and mechanisms from a managerial viewpoint to implement the strategic sustainability priorities into business practice. Based on a literature review of research on sustainable mine management issues, the main dimensions of the sustainability concept are highlighted and the specific goals corresponding to each of the priority focus areas are identified in the paper. As a result of the study, the key organizational aspects and firm-level mechanisms that should be primarily taken into account from a management decision-making viewpoint to embed the strategic sustainability principles into business practices and corporate activities of mining operators are pointed out. From a practical perspective, the findings can be used by mining operators for defining strategic sustainability priorities and setting related corporate objectives, as well as devising guidelines for the effective implementation of the integrated sustainable mine management system.

Urban Housing Development

This research examines the typological analysis of housing development in the peri-urban settlements of Lagos State, Nigeria. Case study methodology was adopted, using random sampling to select housing developments under different housing initiatives, in purposely selected peri-urban settlements in Ibeju-Lekki Local Government Area of Lagos State. Primary data collection was from survey questionnaires, direct observations and in-depth interviews administered to household heads in the case study area. Data analysis was done using descriptive statics to generate frequencies, percentages, cross tabulations of the variables. Findings showed different housing typologies under three categories: owner occupied, part rental and full rental housing. Housing typologies in the study area were influenced by different housing initiatives, and the socio-economic attributes of the residents revealed a heterogeneous mix of the population in terms of culture, literacy level and household size. Based on the research findings it is recommended that the residents' socio-demography should be put into consideration in building typology designs, to enhance effective user performance in peri-urban housing development under diverse housing development schemes in Lagos State.
