The article addresses a range of theoretical and methodological issues related to managing effective logistics support to the development of socioeconomic systems of the national circular-based economic model. It is argued that there is a need to regulate cooperation between socioeconomic systems and build various integration patterns (alliances, clusters, holdings, industrial and financial groups, consortia, innovative partnerships, etc.) which open new opportunities to their participants. The current theoretical and methodological developments in the area of providing logistics support to enhance the development of socioeconomic systems are focused primarily on the microlevel. Unresolved issues of the logistics support to enhance socioeconomic system development at higher levels (meso- and macro-) tend to generate a vast pool of scientific ideas for further innovative research. The purpose of this article is to rethink the existing theoretical, methodical and methodological foundations of logistics support for the socioeconomic system development and to design a qualitatively new conceptual and methodological framework to manage the logistics support to innovative partnerships in a circular economy settings. The findings reveal that the formation of this theoretical and methodological framework is the result of a symbiosis of empirical and theoretical cognitive levels that have certain differences in certain aspects of comparison. The study offers a generalized survey of scientific and philosophical approaches to perceiving socioeconomic processes which provided for using a transdisciplinary paradigm as a theoretical and methodological premises to manage the logistics support to innovative partnerships in a circular economy. To build a common vector of research, it is recommended to use a semantic modeling approach which can be viewed as a converter of natural language, a scientific terminology framework, and a tool to shape a nomological basis in building new theories to explore socioeconomic systems that contributes to constructing a logical semantic model which specifies the mechanism of logistics support to innovative partnerships in a circular economy in terms and definitions of relevant subject areas, including all known logically consistent statements and facts, and is based on certain principles. Based on the research, a relationship between logistics management, innovative partnership development and circular economy has been verified which allowed to develop a theoretical and methodological framework to manage the logistics of innovative partnerships in a circular economy settings. Implementation of the proposed theoretical and methodological framework translates into a comprehensive concept to enhance management of logistics support to further innovative partnership development in a circular economy which makes the foundation of government policy to promote circular economy based on reversible logistics to attain socioeconomic sustainability of the national economy.

AbstractThis study undertakes a systematic analysis of literature within Circular Economy (CE) in an industrial perspective, with a focus on understanding the consideration of the biological and technological cycles, as well as dual circularity. The paper articulates the key research differences, gaps and trends on the basis of publication evolution, key subject areas, influential journals and keywords co-occurrence mapping. The analysis shows the increasing publication trend with dominance of technological cycle and a wide variety of subject areas incorporated in CE biological, technological and dual cycles. Due to the multidisciplinary and transversal nature of CE, as well as its diverse interpretation and applications, an expansion and consolidation of the subject areas and journals are expected in the years to come. Analysis of co-occurrence on the authors' keywords underlined a limited focus of a business perspective research within the biological cycle, heterogeneous and proactive technological cycle but fragmented research on dual circularity. Further analysis of synergies and limitations is necessary to enhance business effectiveness towards enhanced sustainability.

The article deals with the main provisions of the concept of circular economy in the context of political, educational, legal and other transformations without which achievement of the set goals is impossible. The authors pay special attention to analysis of the legal mechanism of achieving the goals and objectives in the area of reducing the volume of waste produced in the country, creating conditions for development of technologies for its treatment and reuse. This requires formation of the new legal category of “environmental entrepreneurship”, along with establishment of the system of incentives, permissions, restrictions and prohibitions aimed at a radical change of the existing model of waste management in legal acts of the system. Development of this legal institution will lead to adjustment of a number of civil agreements, including further development of environmental insurance and environmental audit agreements.

Logistics activities, e.g., transportations of goods and people, are responsible for at least one-third of energy consumption and Green House Gas (GHG) emissions. About 70% of them are related to people’s mobility, with millions of cars moving every day. The people home-work logistics represents undoubtedly an important part of it since flows are concentrated on fixed time windows (beginning, lunch break, and end of the working day) creating huge traffic congestions and negative impacts on time, economics, and the environment. This study proposes an integrated model, summarized through a methodological framework, where three actors (companies, public administrations and local shops) work together aiming to economically incentivize the use of sustainable mobility systems. Three are the main elements of the proposed sustainable people home-work logistics model: (1) the economic self-sustainability of the incentives, funded in different ways by the actors, (2) the scalability, thanks to the possibility to add new territories to the project and (3) the territorial circular economy generated thanks to the incentive’s destinations and the public-private integration. Starting from survey questionnaires and territorial attributes, sustainable mobility ways are defined. Then, participant workers are monitored by activating a mobile app, called Ecoattivi, during their home-work journeys. In such a way, workers can directly analyze their sustainable mobility and reach the possibility to accumulate and spend money in local shops as a function of the saved CO2. On the other hand, companies and public administrations compete in a special ranking for sustainable mobility. The methodological framework has been applied to a real case study in the Chiampo Valley, in the northeast of Italy, where about 10 small towns and dozens of companies in 2020 started the “Bike to Work Valchiampo” project.

Abstract Background A methodological framework is a structured guide to completing a process or procedure. Although the benefits of using methodological frameworks are increasingly recognised, to date, there is no formal definition of what constitutes a ‘methodological framework’, nor is there any published guidance on how to develop one. This study sought to: (a) map the existing landscape on the use of methodological frameworks; (b) identify approaches used for the development of methodological frameworks; and (c) recommend guidance for developing future methodological frameworks. We took a broad view and did not limit our study to methodological frameworks in research and academia. Methods A scoping review was conducted, drawing on Arksey and O’Malley’s methodological framework and more recent guidance. We systematically searched two major electronic databases (MEDLINE and Web of Science), as well as grey literature sources and the reference lists of key papers. Study characteristics and approaches used for development of methodological frameworks were extracted from included studies. Descriptive analysis was conducted. Results We included a total of 28 studies, representing a wide range of subject areas. The most commonly reported approach for developing a methodological framework was ‘Based on existing methods and guidelines’ (64.3%), followed by ‘Refined and validated’ (35.7%), ‘Experience and expertise’ (32.1%), ‘Literature review’ (28.6%), ‘Data synthesis and amalgamation’ (25.0%), ‘Data extraction’ (10.7%), ‘Iteratively developed’ (7.1%) and ‘Lab work results’ (3.6%). There was no consistent use of terminology; the studies included a range of terms for ‘methodological framework’, which were also used interchangeably within studies. Conclusions Although no formal guidance exists on how to develop a methodological framework, this scoping review found an overall consensus in approaches used, which can be broadly divided into three phases: (a) identifying data to inform the methodological framework; (b) developing the methodological framework; and (c) validating, testing and refining the methodological framework. Based on these phases, we provide recommendations to facilitate the development of future methodological frameworks.

Purpose This paper aims to investigate the potential of the “image-idea” of a “circular economy” for re-thinking property in law: In particular, to develop a strategy for making visible “alternative property practices” of community ownership across the subject areas of business and property law, to enhance the visibility of models of community ownership and interrogate their potential. Design/methodology/approach Case study research was undertaken into three public houses to investigate the ways in which the orthodoxies of property and ownership in the academy are challenged by evidence of “alternative property practices” in the community. Findings Using this approach renders visible tensions between the logics of economic value and social asset, carried in processes of abstraction and materiality, and mediated within the field of property by the development of techniques for holding property as title and benefit. It reveals the ways in which “property” as idea, practice and technique is used by people seeking to disrupt or defend against the economic logic of profit and investment. It raises questions concerning how property and law is imaged in the academy and it introduces one way of using an image-idea to open new perspectives and potential. Research limitations/implications These implications emerge: the partiality of orthodox accounts of property; the importance of thinking property in terms of life-cycle and logics ecologies, field and techniques; how an model-theory derived from one discipline can be repurposed, in a second life, in an other discipline as an “image-idea” to refresh the host discipline; the significance of investigating “community assets” within and for property law and the need for more research into “alternative property practices” and the importance of case studies. Practical implications An enhanced knowledge of the development and potential of “community assets” within the academy, and of the potential to promote and support “alternative property practices” with the requisite legal skills and techniques – alongside a consideration of the limits of formal law in terms of policy expectations. Social implications The research is of value to community activists in thinking how law can be used to support community development in terms of holding community assets; and the limitations of formal law which then requires an embedded approach considering how the development of practices and narratives can support community initiatives in relation to property held for community benefit. Originality/value There has been very little coverage of “community assets” within legal research, especially moving across business and property as subject areas, and no coverage on public houses taken into community ownership. This paper combines an introduction to the relevant legal forms with a consideration of the use of them in practice: considering, in particular, how practices and narratives deployed by and within the community think and present “property” as a means by which to counter the economic logic of profit. All this is made possible through the use of case-studies made visible by the utilization of the image-idea of the circular economy – used here not as a model-theory, but rather as an aid to opening thinking into new territories accessed through new perspectives.

The circular economy (CE) concept applied to construction and demolition waste (CDW) is a developing field of research that entails a large amount of complex and disjointed information; thus, a comprehensive review of scientific contributions could provide a completed perspective. This article aims to analyse the existing knowledge of CE research applied to CDW, using a double integrated analysis, a systematic literature review and a bibliometric analysis. For this purpose, Science Mapping Analysis Tool (SciMAT), a software for the analysis of performance indicators and visualisations of scientific maps, has been used, which offers a complete approach to the field and evaluates the most cited and productive authors and subject areas related to this discipline. The results obtained from the 1440 bibliographic records from 1993 to 2020 show a still-developing scientific field, evolving from concerns about economic aspects to the most recent progresses in the evaluation of sustainable deconstruction. This work will contribute to the existing body of knowledge by establishing connections, mapping networks of researchers and recommending new trends.
