It cannot be possible to form and unite the University that is required these days, without the people who interact within this institution having a sustainable way of thinking, one of the priority ways to achieve this goal is to manage the development of stakeholders of University Social Responsibility (USR). The Faculty of Administration Sciences (FAS) of the Universidad Autónoma de Coahuila has as its priority tasks to develop sustainable thinking through continuous improvement and the incessant search of areas of opportunity in these subjects. The objective of this work was to evaluate the degree of social and environmental management that exists in the FAC focusing on the actions that are carried out in a positive way and in those that must be worked to achieve an advance and development of these stakeholders of the (USR). The empirical research was based on the exploration of a sample that included 211 people who study and work in the FAS. The evaluation instrument incorporated questions that relate the interaction of the FAS with society and the local community and the development of plans, actions and knowledge related to the environmental management required by the University for the training of new types of professionals. For its evaluation, Contingency Tables and Exploratory Factor Analysis were used. The results demonstrate the existence of strategic planning, commitment and integration of social issues in the way the University operates and a linkage in the midst of work and commitment in the improvement of environmental aspects, all of this while there is no training, dissemination and technology innovation that promotes sustainable development in these matters.

En el ámbito universitario para asegurar la calidad y el mejoramiento continuo de los programas educativos, es necesario someterse a un proceso de evaluación a través de un organismo acreditador. Dentro de este proceso, el primer paso necesario es la autoevaluación del programa educativo, el cual consiste en reunir información sustantiva que permita evidenciar el cumplimiento de los criterios que ha establecido el organismo acreditador. Las Tecnologías de la Información (TI) se han convertido en un componente fundamental de las universidades en todos sus ámbitos: docencia, investigación y administración. En el presente trabajo, se presenta el diseño y la implementación de un sistema de información que permite concentrar las evidencias de las diferentes categorías e indicadores del instrumento de evaluación utilizado por el Consejo Nacional de Acreditación en Informática y Computación (CONAIC). In the university context to ensure the quality and continuous improvement of educational programs, it is necessary to undergo an evaluation process through an accrediting body. Within this process, the first necessary step is the self-evaluation of the educational program, which consists of gathering substantive information that makes it possible to demonstrate compliance with the criteria established by the accrediting body. Information Technology (IT) has become a fundamental component of universities in all their fields: teaching, research and administration. In this paper, the design and implementation of an information system that allows to concentrate the evidences of the different categories and indicators of the evaluation instrument used by the National Accreditation Council in Computing and Computing (CONAIC) is presented.

Traditionally Finland has been the losing party in migration. During the last hundred years about 600.000 Finns have emigrated permanently. Since the late 1980s the migration balance has been positive to Finland due to decreased emigration and increased migration, especially from the former Soviet Union area. The aim of the paper was to give answers to the following questions: What are the attitudes towards immigrants and demographic internationalism among the students in Finland? What are the main factors explaining the differences? How do the students fit into Berry’s acculturation model (his model consists of four acculturation groups: integrated, assimilated, segregated, and marginalized groups)? The material was collected in May 1994.The population of the study consisted of all the students who started their studies between 1990-1993 at the University of Turku. The sample was 300 and 187 students returned the questionnaire (62.3%). Using factor analysis and sum-variables four different attitude groups were created: ethnocen- trics (35%), hesitants (21%), egoists (13%), and globalists (31%). The results of the study indicated that Berry’s model is also useful when categorizing the attitudes of the people of the host country: more than 92% of the globalists had an integrative opinion about immigration. As few as 4% of the globalists were marginalists (against immigration), while the corresponding figure among ethnocen- trics was 14%.

The Extra Mural Studies Department (now known as Extension Studies Section) was established in order to maintain the university links with the community as well as serve as a conduit through which university knowledge and university ways of thought can be transmitted to people in their locality. This research therefore, was an undertaking to identify challenges encountered in the implementation of University Extension Education. It was guided by the following objectives; identify the challenges encountered in the implementation of Extension Education, find out whether or not the University of Zambia Extension Education programs are in tandem with the educational needs of the local society in North Western Province, and assess whether or not the University of Zambia Extension Studies in North Western Province conducted other outreach programs apart from evening classes. In terms the research design, the study employed a case study design as it allowed the researcher to bring out a case and study it in its natural setting. Questionnaire and interview guide were the instruments used to collect data from the respondents comprising 97 students and 1 officer administering the office of the Resident Lecturer. It emerged from the findings that there were many challenges that the University of Zambia encountered in the implementation of extension education, central of all was the lack of qualified part time tutors in addressing the educational needs of the community in which it operated. The study also established that most of the courses offered by the University Extension Studies in North Western Province did not answer to the educational needs of the people in the Province. In view of the findings the study recommended that the University of Zambia should ensure that the provincial office is adequately and appropriately staffed with qualified personnel and also make a deliberate effort to create a policy to involve the local community.

The negative impacts of construction activities can be controlled and reduced through identification of environmental aspects and impacts of construction activities, implementation of the mitigation measures and site monitoring on a regular basis e.g through surveillance in the framework of the Environmental Management System (EMS). Continuous improvement efforts towards traditional methods and increased needs for factual information and productivity in the environmental monitoring field have been met with latest innovations in mobile information and sensory technology options. This paper through literature aims to review the characteristic of both traditional and technology based surveillance while highlighting the on how those methods complement each other.

The environment (nature) is one of the most important aspects of life that needs to be considered when referring to and regarding sustainable development. This article aims to describe environmental management based on local knowledge using the case study conducted focusing on Mbatakapidu. The environment, which is a space for people to create a sustainable livelihood, is increasingly being disturbed by the acts of humanity itself. However, we cannot deny that in addition to these conditions, there are still local communities that always strive to create a balance between human and the environment. One of them is a local community in Mbatakapidu. This study used a qualitative approach with a case study perspective. The data collection was done by conducting in-depth interviews with the informants. The six informants were determined purposively. The results of this study show that people of Mbatakapidu trust that there are spirits who inhabit the springs and forests. This is a form of local wisdom that makes them tend to hold on to destructive action against the forest. The people of Mbatakapidu make nature their friend, and seek not to exploit but desire to maintain the sustainability of nature with the traditional local knowledge that they have. It implies that the Mbatakapidu people are obedient to Marapu. The values embraced by Marapu makes people harmonise their life with the natural environment. Therefore, the act of field (savannah) burning turned out to be mobilised by the individual and not at the instigation of local values as believed by the Mbatakapidu.

Abstract The first part of this paper describes the flow of tourism on a national and international scale, emphasizing the role that entertainment tourism and theme parks play globally. Following these preliminary remarks, the second part of the paper presents the positive and negative economic effects of leisure tourism opportunities at the European and regional level. The third part of the paper analyses the environmental aspects of tourism and entertainment tourism. It shows that sustainable tourism development can be an essential condition for the protection of natural and cultural resources. Finally, the fourth part summarizes some of the most important social issues arising from tourism activities, among them the conflict between residents and tourists on the exploitation of resources and the demonstration effect deriving from the consumption of resources. To avoid this spoliation and destruction of the destination (land and local community), the paper suggests a new Humanism based on Catholicism as a way to realize a sustainability utopia.

This research is a descriptive study using qualitative method and an ethnographic approach. This research was carried out with the aim of identifying the mystical space in mappadendang tradition which was held in Allamungeng Patue Village. After conducting the tracing process, the researcher found that mappadendang tradition which was held in Allamungeng Patue Village, Bone Regency in July 2020 was not a tradition of harvest celebration as generally in several villages in Bone Regency, especially Bugis tribe, but mappadendang was held as a form of shielding from all distress including Covid-19 outbreak. This trust was obtained after one of the immigrants who now resides in the village dreamed of meeting an invisible figure (tau panrita) who ordered a party to be held that would bring all the village people because remembering that in the village during Covid-19 happened to almost all the existing areas in Indonesia, the people of Allamungeng Patue Village were spared from the outbreak. Spontaneously, the people of Allamungeng Patue Village worked together to immediately carry out the mappadendang tradition as a form of interpretation of the message carried by the figure.
