Sustainable development is a requisite for future generation, as increasing urbanization, destruction of natural resources by anthropic activities, degrading ecosystems for the sake of present economic development at cost of environmental exploitation are increasing by each passing day on earth. The goal of this chapter is to provide meaningful insights for policy-makers and decision-makers towards sustainable development in the construction industry. This study is first-of-its-kind study focusing on the Sustainable Developments Goals and sustainability dimensions and their criteria and indicators in one compilation through literature study. The study concludes that there is a need to integrate the construction industry into the Sustainable Development Goals and their targets to test the built environment sustainability and there is a need to develop the most adequate frameworks for commencing the topic. Two possible frameworks suggested for future research recommendation needed for the Indian context to enhance sustainability within construction industry are based on LCSA and MCDM analysis.

The Impact

Abstract The development of the economy’s tourism sector is one of the priority tasks set by the leadership of the Krasnodar Territory and Russian Federation. Thus, the construction of a model of the impact of tourist flows on the sustainability of the destination is very relevant. The authors developed a simulation model of the impact of tourist flows on the sustainable development of destination. The weighted net savings indicator was used as a measure of sustainability. This model can be further used in predicting the development of the studied sector of the economy. Using the developed tool for medium- and long-term planning will provide additional data to decision makers, reducing uncertainty, and thus improving the quality of management. The accuracy of the model is based entirely on publicly available statistics and expert assessments.

Role Of Information

This paper seeks to evaluate the role of ICT in achieving the sustainable development goals adopted by the United Nations in 2015. While SDGs do not specifically address ICT, or include a goal on development of ICT, as argued (Berleur & Avgerou, 2005)in this paper, it is an underlying element embedded in the very concept of sustainable development rooted in the definition as propounded by the Brundtland Report. The objective of this paper is to evaluate whether there is a possibility to develop a conceptual framework to ground the use of ICTs in achieving SDGs. For this purpose, this research has evaluated the common conceptual frameworks developed by scholars and posits that rather than developing an all-encompassing framework, it is possible to identify certain necessary features for the role of the ICTs in achieving SDGs. This approach enables policy and decision makers to look at the role of ICT as an integral component of socio-economic and environmental decision making and implementation.

This paper aims at contributing to the debate on the relationships between the European financial sector and sustainable development. Using a non-financial disclosure analysis of 262 European banks, the research sought, first, to investigate the “scope” of the contribution of European banks to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and, second, to explore the factors that seem to differentiate the SDGs approach among banks. The results show that country of origin, legal system, and adoption of an integrated report seem to differentiate banks in terms of contribution to the SDGs. The business model and stock exchange listing, conversely, do not seem to represent discriminatory factor in the contribution of banks toward the SDGs. The study can be useful for managers and decision makers to develop policies to support organizations in contributing to the SDGs.

Abstract Nature-Based Solutions for stormwater management on top of handling water should, ideally, deliver a multitude of other services to society; they are often seen as a lever for transforming cities in a more livable, green, resilient and sustainable direction, and these measures should be acknowledged as part of the services delivered. In this study we assess the services that Nature-Based Solutions for stormwater management deliver with reference to targets and indicators from the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals; we also develop local, project level indicators that inform and are informed by the more broad Sustainable Development Goals indicators. We demonstrate through Danish cases ranging from lot to city scale that the proposed framework can help inform decision-makers about the sustainability of Nature-Based Solutions for stormwater management. Despite difficulties in matching local indicators to SDG indicators, this first attempt at an assessment framework provides insight on which services of a project help to work towards the Sustainable Development Goals and, if used in the planning phase, could facilitate the design of projects that work focused and informed towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals.

Definition Of

An integrated approach to redirecting traffic from roads to more efficient and environmentally friendly forms of transport implies the definition of strategic guidelines for combining comparative advantages of intermodal transport and development of land, port, railroad and other traffic infrastructure. This concept of development of east-Mediterranean “motorways of the sea” enables the development of shipping and intermodality in the entire region. The European transport policy, in the context of affirmation of a sustainable and efficient traffic and particularly important potential of “motorways of the sea” in environment protection, enables the achievement of a sustainable economic development of the countries in the region. The aim of the paper is to study the influence of cargo flows on the sustainable development of the “motorways of the sea” in the east Mediterranean and the applicability of the general framework of MoS policy. The paper emphasises the advantages and significance of coastal traffic connections and the “motorways of the sea” and identifies the limitations. It analyses the corridors in the Mediterranean countries relevant for the tra c development of the region. Among other things, the aim of the paper is to provide support to decision makers in establishing a successful MoS network.

The aim of the article. The article emphasizes that the transformations taking place in the modern world economy under the influence of accelerating scientific and technological progress, processes of informatization, globalization and regionalization have led to the formation of new approaches and methods of doing business. The results of the analyses. The global world is constantly advancing to the information-innovation era, the network economy, in which most business becomes electronic and is carried out on the Internet on the basis of information and communication technologies (ICT). Complications of foreign economic relations due to the intensification of competition in world markets determine the need to develop new mechanisms to ensure the sustainable development of global e-business. The implementation of the information society development strategy in the world's leading countries (USA, Japan, Germany, etc.) shows that one of such priority tools for the growth of the e-commerce market is its gradual logistics. Conclusions and perspectives for further research. Due to the generalization of modern directions of world development e-logistics market (its further consolidation through a system of mergers and acquisitions; creation of international research and production alliances to develop new software products for e-logistics; rapid growth of the potential of the mobile commerce segment; expanding the scope of commercial services provided to consumers worldwide network) developed and substantiated a system of mechanisms for sustainable development of international and national electronic logistics markets, the basic basis of which is the strategic interaction and interdependence of institutional, innovation and technological, marketing, infrastructure and logistics and financial and economic transformations. This makes it possible to create an analytical basis for assessing the development of its individual segments in terms of effective integration of the country into the global market for electronic logistics. Keywords: world electronic logistics market, mechanisms of e-logistics, structural transformations, sustainable development of e-logistics.

The focus of this study is to identify whether resilience and sustainable development can be used as an image for strategic planning of the city marketing. Resilience is about building and planning for future proof the cities. How urban challenges and crisis have the lowest impact and the maximum of bounce back and evolution. Resilience is part of the sustainable development. Thus, it is important for the decision-makers to define the mission on their strategic planning in a holistically way taking into consideration the basic assets of a city, the environment, the economy and the society and how can all of them can be combined to marketing the city and take into consideration the internal and external environment. As the past few years’ city marketing has become an important tool for the urban development. The main goal is to show how city marketing can be applied on a city that tries to be more resilient and more sustainable by using strategic urban planning to set the vision, to identify the challenges and the problematic areas and to set new goals and objectives in order to plan and build to future proof the complexity of an urban system. For answering the questions of this article we use two case studies Rotterdam (Netherlands) and Thessaloniki (Greece), using a literature review and researches conducted alongside with a benchmarking of their resilient strategies as both of the cities are members of the Resilient Cities Network. From a different perspective of resilient thinking, both of the cities have managed to use resilience as a marketing image for further sustainable development.
