The development of oil palm plantations and its expansion as well, ensured potentially give impact on the environment. A standardized environmental management system is required by companies to develop and implement environmental aspects. This research is classified as a qualitative research with a case study which emphasizes potential environmental impacts analysis of oil palm plantations and the urgency of environmental management systems in oil palm plantation management policies in North Sumatra. The research results showed that there were potential environmental impacts began pre-construction, construction and operational stages related to oil palm plantations development such as erosion, changes of sustainable and quantity of water, plant pests distribution, diseases and weeds, changes in soil fertility, potential social conflicts and the emergence of the spread of plant diseases endemic and disruption of water infiltration function in peat areas. In addition, it affected environmental factors including ecosystem condition, hydrology, landscape, and resident’s attitude around the plantation. Alternative policies which be carried out related to environmental preservation and community welfare are (1) agro-industrial development policies that process oil and palm oil waste, (2) Moratorium (temporary suspension) of illegal logging, (3) Establish policy synergies and improve communication between government agencies and institutions, (4) reduce conflicts over land freehold by reforming above the law.

Resumen: Este trabajo tiene como objetivo realizar una reflexión sobre la forma cómo, en la ciudad de Medellín, se han enfrentado las externalidades ambientales, ocasionadas por las dinámicas de urbanización, en las décadas entre 1990 y 2010. Se busca como resultado conocer y aportar las nuevas acciones de mejoramiento implementadas en Medellín, para contrarrestar las externalidades ambientales ocasionadas por la urbanización, a la luz del aprovechamiento de características propias de un contexto, como son, en el caso de la ciudad de Medellín, una ubicación geográfica estratégica, relieve singular, conflictos sociales de conocida particularidad, tradiciones culturales arraigadas y posibilidades económicas reducidas, entre otras. Además, se pretende revelar y potenciar las articulaciones que estratégicamente se han ido constituyendo en las políticas de gestión ambiental urbana y los logros obtenidos ante los principios fundamentales (1, 8 y 26) de la Cumbre de Río de Janeiro (1992), ante las externalidades ambientales en la ciudad y que pueden ser asumidos como modelo de actuación para territorios con comportamientos similares. ___Palabras clave: Ciudad, externalidades ambientales, urbanización, afectaciones. ___Abstract: This paper aims to reflect on how, in the city of Medellín, environmental externalities, caused by the dynamics of urbanization, have been faced in the decades between 1990 and 2010. As a result, we seek to know and contribute to the new improvement actions implemented in Medellín, to counteract the environmental externalities caused by urbanization, by using the proper characteristics of a particular context, such as, in the case of the city of Medellín, a strategic geographical location, a singular relief, social conflicts of a known particularity, entrenched cultural traditions and reduced economic possibilities, among others. In addition, it seeks to reveal and strengthen the articulations that have been strategically established in urban environmental management policies and the achievements in view of the fundamental principles (1, 8 and 26) of the Rio de Janeiro Summit (1992), before the environmental externalities in the city and that can be assumed as a model of action for territories with similar behaviors.___Keywords: City, environmental externalities, urbanization, affectations. ___Recibido: 30 de marzo de 2016.

AbstractThe maritime sector has been identified as one of the significant economic sectors which will help propel Malaysia to developed status by the year 2020. Although Malaysia is highly dependent on the seas for many of its economic and resource-exploitation activities, transportation, communication and security needs, the country has yet effectively and efficiently to tap the full potential of its maritime sector. This paper presents a review of the status of, and issues facing, several important maritime sectors such as fisheries, shipping ports, shipbuilding, oil and gas development and maritime environmental management. Policies and legislation drawn up by the Malaysian Government to overcome some of the problems facing these sectors are also discussed.

Management Policies

Environmental policies in the realm of land management are increasingly focussing on inducing behavioural change to improve environmental management outcomes. This is based, implicitly or explicitly, on theories that suggest that pro-environmental behaviour can be understood, predicted and altered based on certain factors (referred to as determinants of pro-environmental behaviour). However, studies examining the determinants of pro-environmental behaviour have found mixed evidence. It is therefore important that we revisit these theories to assess if the evidence supports their postulations so that a more robust knowledge base can be established to inform land management policies. In this study, we do this using meta-analytic structural equation modelling (MASEM) to explore whether the evidence on determinants of pro-environmental behaviour supports the postulations of some predominantly applied theories of behaviour and/or behaviour change. The study analyses research in four environmental policy areas to identify implications for land management. Evidence from these related environmental areas is expected to provide insights relevant to the land management literature and to allow us to identify the extent to which lessons on pro-environmental behaviour from these other areas can be transferred to the land management context. Our findings suggest a strong evidence base for the Theories of Planned Behaviour and Reasoned Action, Attitude-Behaviour-Context Model, and the Persuasion Theory, but a weak evidence base for the Value-Belief-Norm Theory and the Norm Activation Model. We also found that type of environmental policy area moderates the relationship between different variables. This has key policy implications since, while lessons can be learnt from other environmental policy areas, land management policies aimed at influencing behaviours will need to be tailored to the specific context rather than simply ‘imported’ from other fields. Such context-specific policies may encourage pro-environmental behaviours, and potentially contribute towards improving environmental management outcomes.

Purpose An efficient and adequate environmental monitoring plan is essential to any integrated coastal zone management (ICZM) program. The purpose of this paper is to apply an environmental diagnostic study to a coastal lagoon using anthropogenic markers as a decision support tool to aid the development of coastal environmental management policies. Design/methodology/approach Specifically, environmental status and anthropogenic sources were determined as part of a coastal environmental management plan; a study of human occupation and use was conducted to determine the predominant human activities around the lagoon; an environmental diagnostic study was conducted to determine the occurrence, levels and distribution of markers; and the results of the environmental diagnostic study were compared to indicators stipulated in Brazilian legislation. Findings Land use study revealed both urban and rural activities around the lagoon, as evidenced by the existence of residences, restaurants as well as poultry and livestock activities. The environmental diagnostic study revealed the input of human sewage (treated and raw) and runoff from animal husbandry activities. Practical implications The information produced using anthropogenic markers showed the influence of less studied rural activities, such as livestock and poultry farming, thereby providing a more reliable environmental status compared to the use of classic indicators employed in laws issued by international and Brazilian agencies. Originality/value The present results show that classic indicators used by environmental agencies are insufficient for an accurate diagnosis of coastal zones with multiple anthropogenic activities. Thus, the modernization of the environmental monitoring plan of the ICZM program is urgently needed for a more accurate assessment of coastal environments.

The purpose of this research is to examine the role of women in environmental management in Myanmar. In Myanmar society, women have a tradition of environmental care. From childhood, young Myanmar girls are trained to undertake work in and around their house. It is a common sight in rural areas to see young girls caring for their siblings and collecting water or firewood during school holidays. Women in rural areas are traditionally aware of how to use fuel wood properly, how to get and store safe drinking water, and which plants can be used as indigenous medicine. In this way women have played an important role in reducing resource use, reusing and recycling resources to minimize waste and excessive consumption. This research revolves around the issues such as women’s perspectives on the environment; the nature of their participation to engage in environmental protection and conservation; and environmental management policies of Myanmar.
