description Publicationkeyboard_double_arrow_right Article 2013Publisher:University of Maribor Press Authors: Cencič Majda; Mlinar Anton;The concept of sustainability and a sustainable and ecological development are common debate topics in today’s society. This paper discusses the concept of sustainability in green building with regard to schools. The research was conducted on a representative sample of primary school teachers, focusing on some of their opinions on green building. We asked them which aspect of building they favoured and how often they asked themselves certain questions about the school they taught in. Furthermore, we were interested to see whether we would find age-related differences. To this end, teachers were divided into two groups, namely, teachers of up to 35 years of age and teachers over 35. We were surprised to find that teachers over 35 had a more positive attitude towards green building in schools compared to their younger colleagues. Based on the results, we came to a conclusion that the topics pertaining to ecology and sustainable development are neglected in today’s education. However, making them part of school curriculum is not enough, as the opinions and attitudes of teachers on sustainable and ecological issues also have an important impact on the subject-matter itself.

The relationship between the environment and tourism can be perceived from several different aspects. The concept of sustainability and its principles are one of the most frequently analysed approaches and the motivational basis for visiting can show how much the protected nature and healthy environment matter to the tourists. Based on the internal motivators, we examined whether the tourism in Đerdap is controlled, on a smaller scale, and qualitatively focused. A total of 484 respondents participated in the survey research. The comparison of attitudes was performed in relation to the demographic attributes of the respondents (gender, age, education). Target groups of tourists who prefer sustainable tourism have been identified. Sustainable tourism is a significant determinant in the further development of tourism in the protected area National Park Đerdap. The results of the research, based on 12 statements, performed t-testing and one-factor variance analysis (ANOVA), show that the visitors’ greatest interests are related to the environment (natural as well as cultural value of the area). The researched motivational factors (new experiences and events, relaxation and rest, acquiring new knowledge – cultural and educational motivation) are based on sustainability. The results of this research can be applied in practice by implementing them through various management and marketing plans in the National Park Đerdap.

Dialogische Bürgerbeteiligung liegt im Trend und birgt ein besonderes Potenzial zur Förderung von Nachhaltigkeit und Gemeinwohl. Dieses Potenzial in der Praxis auszuschöpfen ist gleichzeitig voraussetzungsreich und herausfordernd. Der vorliegende Leitfaden richtet sich an alle, die Beteiligungsverfahren initiieren, planen, durchführen und evaluieren. Er bietet eine Übersicht über Stellschrauben und Ansatzpunkte, um Beteiligung am Maßstab nachhaltigen Gemeinwohls, der wesentliche Anforderungen gelingender Beteiligung zusammenführt, auszurichten. Auf Grundlage unseres Verständnisses nachhaltigen Gemeinwohls und den Ergebnissen aus verschiedenen Fallstudien entfalten und übersetzen wir den Maßstab nachhaltigen Gemeinwohls in folgende fünf Kriterien: 1. Die Förderung der Inklusivität von Beteiligungsverfahren im Hinblick auf den Zugang zu Beteiligungsverfahren und 2. die Beteiligungschancen im Verfahren, 3. die Förderung von politischer Urteilsbildung und Kritikkompetenz, 4. die Dialogintensität und -qualität sowie 5. die Möglichkeiten der Einflussnahme im Sinne der Einbindung in politische Prozesse, der Ergebnisoffenheit und Transparenz von und in Beteiligungsverfahren. Deliberative participation is en vogue and holds particular potential for promoting sustainability and public welfare. However, exploiting this potential in practice is demanding and challenging. This guide is aimed at all those who initiate, plan, implement and evaluate participation processes. It offers an overview of the levers and starting points for aligning participation with the goal of sustainable public welfare, which brings together the essential requirements of successful participation. Based on our understanding of sustainable public welfare and the results of various case studies, we develop and translate the yardstick of sustainable public welfare into the following five criteria: 1. the promotion of inclusivity of participation processes with regard to access to participation processes, 2. the opportunities for participation in the process, 3. the promotion of political judgment and critical competence, 4. the intensity and quality of dialogue, and 5. the opportunities for influence in the sense of involvement in political processes, openness in terms of results and transparency of and in participation processes. 1.

Sozial- und Wirtschaftswissenschaftliche Fakultät. Institut für Unternehmensrechnung und Wirtschaftsprüfung Authors: Seidl, Tanja;Managementgehälter werden laufend untersucht und kontrovers diskutiert. Besonders die internationale Finanzkrise 2008 hat den Diskurs um Höhe und Angemessenheit von Vorstandsvergütungen neu angeheizt. Gleichzeitig rückt der Aspekt der Nachhaltigkeit verstärkt in den Fokus. Der Begriff „Nachhaltigkeit“ beschränkt sich jedoch nicht nur auf ökologische Fragestellungen, auch die soziale Verantwortung von Unternehmen ist hier von Bedeutung. Im Wesentlichen besteht die Herausforderung für Unternehmen darin, ihre Unternehmensziele langfristig mit Sozial- und Umweltbelangen zu verknüpfen und über diese Vorgehensweise transparent Bericht zu erstatten. In Anbetracht dessen stellt sich die Frage, inwieweit Nachhaltigkeitskriterien in die Vergütungspolitiken börsennotierter Unternehmen einfließen, bzw. welche Anreize für VorständInnen gesetzt werden, die Geschäftstätigkeit ihrer Unternehmen nachhaltig(er) auszurichten. Unter Einbezug der rechtlichen Anforderungen an Vergütungspolitik und Nachhaltigkeitsberichterstattung wird erforscht, inwieweit Nachhaltigkeitsfaktoren aktuell in die Vergütungspolitiken börsennotierter Aktiengesellschaften in Österreich integriert sind. Dabei wird auch die Verbindung zwischen Vergütungspolitik und Nachhaltigkeitsberichterstattung behandelt. Zudem wird beleuchtet, ob ein überdurchschnittliches ESG-Rating mit der erfolgreichen Verknüpfung von Nachhaltigkeit und Vergütungspolitik korreliert. Die Analyse hat gezeigt, dass die Festlegung variabler Vergütungsbestandteile bei knapp 80 Prozent der ATX Prime-Unternehmen u. a. auf Basis nicht-finanzieller Leistungsindikatoren erfolgt. Allerdings wurde festgestellt, dass lediglich zwei Drittel der verwendeten nicht-finanziellen KPIs den ESG-Faktoren zuordenbar sind. Daraus folgt, dass es sich bei der Integration nicht-finanzieller Leistungsindikatoren in die Vorstandsvergütung nicht zwingendermaßen um Nachhaltigkeitsfaktoren handelt. Management salaries are subject to constant scrutiny and controversy. The international financial crisis of 2008 in particular has rekindled the discourse on the level and appropriateness of executive compensation. At the same time, the aspect of sustainability is increasingly coming into focus. However, the term "sustainability" is not limited to ecological issues, corporate social responsibility is also relevant in this case. Essentially, the challenge for companies is to link their corporate goals to social and environmental concerns in the long term and to report transparently on this approach. In view of this, the question arises as to the extent to which sustainability criteria are incorporated into the remuneration policies of listed companies and what incentives are provided for board members to align the business activities of their companies in a (more) sustainable manner. Taking into account the legal requirements for remuneration policies and sustainability reporting, the study investigates the extent to which sustainability factors are currently integrated into the remuneration policies of listed stock corporations in Austria. The link between remuneration policy and sustainability reporting is also addressed. In addition, the study sheds light on whether an above-average ESG-rating correlates with the successful linking of sustainability and remuneration policy. The analysis showed that at almost 80 percent of ATX Prime companies the determination of variable remuneration components is based, among other things, on non-financial performance indicators. However, it was found that only two-thirds of the non-financial KPIs used can be attributed to ESG factors. It follows that the integration of non-financial performance indicators into executive board compensation does not necessarily equal sustainability factors.

Das Phänomen Nachhaltigkeit wird zunehmend zu einem Gegenstand der Forschung. Im betrieblichen Kontext wird jedoch nur selten untersucht, ob nachhaltigkeitsbezogene Aktivitäten in Unternehmen tatsächlich nachhaltig sind, d. h. ob sie dauerhaft umgesetzt und die mit ihnen intendierten Wirkungen auch tatsächlich erzielt werden. Die Frage, inwiefern Mitbestimmung - und spezifisch Betriebsvereinbarungen - eine Voraussetzung für eine nachhaltige Nachhaltigkeit sein können, wird mit der Sekundäranalyse von Betriebsvereinbarungen zum Arbeits- und Gesundheitsschutz als ein Aspekt sozialer Nachhaltigkeit untersucht. Im Fokus stehen hier die Ergebnisse der Aushandlungsprozesse zwischen der betrieblichen Interessenvertretung und der Unternehmensleitung, die in Betriebsvereinbarungen münden. Es wird argumentiert, dass Betriebsvereinbarungen dann als zentrale Voraussetzung für die dauerhafte Verankerung von Nachhaltigkeitsthemen gelten können, wenn eine Prozesskette von Thematisierung, Implementierung, Institutionalisierung sowie Verstetigung vorliegt. Betriebsvereinbarungen können, je nach Durchsetzungsmacht des Betriebsrats, ein wirkmächtiges Instrument sein. Jedoch bedarf es Betriebsfallstudien, um zu prüfen, ob die Papierlage sich im betrieblichen Alltag bestätigt. Sustainability is increasingly becoming an object of research. However, questions of whether sustainability-related activities are actually sustainable have rarely been examined: Are those activities permanently implemented into corporate practice and do they actually achieve their purposes? In this paper, the focus is on the question whether and how co-determination and especially plant-level agreements can be interpreted as a template for sustainable sustainability. For this purpose, plant-level agreements between works councils and management on occupational health and safety as one aspect of the social dimension of sustainability are analysed. It is argued that plant-level agreements can reflect central prerequisites for sustainable sustainability activities if they reflect a process chain of introducing, implementing, institutionalizing and continuing an activity. A plant-level agreement can further be seen as an important source of power since it is a result of balancing the different logics of works councils and management. Further research in the project will focus on case studies in companies that have been selected because of their plant-level agreements. AIS-Studien

Durch gesteigerten Energie- und Ressourcenverbrauch werden immer neue Möglichkeiten gesucht sowohl die ökonomischen, ökologischen als auch sozialen Belastungen und Auswirkungen der Büro- und Betriebsumgebungen auf Mensch und Umwelt zu reduzieren. Während der Ansatz des zertifizierten Umweltmanagements schon seit den 1990er Jahren etabliert ist, sind Green Ansätze erst in den letzten 10 Jahren entstanden. Heutige Entscheidungen bzgl. einer geeigneten Nachhaltigkeitsstrategie und die Unterstützung von Maßnahmen einer Organisation, bedürfen Wissen für die Entscheidungsträger. Ebenso ist es von entscheidender Bedeutung die Umweltwirkungen einer Organisation anhand von Daten und Informationen zu erfassen, diese in Kontext zu setzen und das enthaltene Wissen für zukünftige Änderungen abzuleiten. Genau an dieser Problematik setzen die vorgelegte Arbeit und die damit verbundene Forschungsfrage an. Wie kann ein „klassisches“ Wissensmanagement hin zu einem „Grünen Wissensmanagement“ weiterentwickelt werden, so dass dieses gezielt die Themen Nachhaltigkeit, im Speziellen ökologische Nachhaltigkeit, Umweltmanagement und weitere Green Ansätze unterstützt? Die erarbeitete Green Knowledge Management Definition setzt sich dabei aus fünf Teilaspekten zusammen, welche in der Folge systematisch hergeleitet, konzeptuell ausgearbeitet und mit Hilfe von praktischen Beispielen dokumentiert werden. Hierzu wird etwa eine Auswahl bestehender Wissensmanagementmodelle untersucht, um daraus abzuleiten wie die Wissensprozesse mit denen des Umweltmanagements und verschiedener Green Ansätze ineinandergreifen können. Auch werden Arten von Wissensmanagementsystemen und deren Einsatzmöglichkeiten untersucht. Ebenso wird ein Planungs- und Entscheidungsunterstützungsinstrument in Form eines Würfels, dem „Green Knowledge Management Cube“, konzeptuell vorgestellt und prototypisch implementiert. Ein weiterer Aspekt besteht in der intensiven Betrachtung von Umweltinformationssystemen und den Möglichkeiten zur Erweiterung hin zu Umweltwissenssystemen. Hierzu präsentiert die Arbeit ein Modell eines Umweltwissenssystems, kurz UmweltWiS, dessen Logik auf dem Einsatz von semantischen Technologien basiert, um so eine flexible Erweiterbarkeit und die Einbindung von öffentlich verfügbaren Linked Open Data-Quellen aus dem Umweltbereich zu ermöglichen. Das UmweltWiS-Konzept hat den Anspruch in verschiedenen Anwendungskontexten sowohl im öffentlichen wie auch privatwirtschaftlichen Bereich einsetzbar zu sein. Dies wird mit Hilfe von drei Anwendungsfällen im Bereich der Forstwirtschaft, der Materialkunde und moderner Industrie 4.0 Umgebungen prototypisch dargestellt. Zum Abschluss der Arbeit wird betrachtet, wie ein Green Knowledge Management die Faktoren Recycling und Reduktion von Wissen adressieren kann, um somit eine Wiederverwendung, Weiterverwendung oder Weiterverwertung von Wissen möglich zu machen. Der Faktor der Reduktion von Wissen ist dabei im Zuge der Vermeidung von redundanten Wissensfragmenten oder veraltetem Wissen von Relevanz. Sustainability, environmental management and green initiatives are topics which gradually developed into trends since the late 1980s, not only in research institutions, but also in public and private organizations. While the usage of energy and other resources are increasing, these organizations search for new possibilities to reduce the economic, ecologic and social burdens and consequences of office and production environments for employees and nature. While certified environmental management systems were established already in the 1990s, green approaches and technologies are only about 10 years old and steadily developing. Decisions about a fitting strategy and the support of suitable measures inside an organization always require knowledge provided for the decision makers. Furthermore it is of importance to record the environmental consequences of the operational business and to not only record data and information, but to create a context and deduce the knowledge for future activities. Based on this situation, the work addresses the main research question of how „classical“ knowledge management might be further developed or transformed into Green Knowledge Management and how it addresses the goals of sustainability, especially ecological sustainability, environmental management and green approaches alike? The definition of Green Knowledge Management consists of five factors, which are discussed systematically, explored conceptually and documented with the help of practical examples. Different knowledge management models and their respective building blocks are analyzed to deduce how knowledge processes might interact with environmental ones as well as green aspects. Also different types of knowledge management systems are analysed for their application possibilities. A planning and decision making tool in form of a three dimensional cube, the “Green Knowledge Management Cube” is introduced on a conceptual level and documented with the help of exemplary implementations. An additional aspect for the development of Green Knowledge Management bases on the intensive analysis of environmental information systems and the possibilities for extending these systems to environmental knowledge systems. The work presents a model of an environmental knowledge system called UmweltWiS. The logic of the system applies semantic technologies to provide a flexible and extensible structure to integrate public linked open data sources with an environmental background. The UmweltWiS concept is designed to be applicable in different application scenarios, in public and private context. This is documented with the help of three use case scenarios of forestry, material science and modern industry 4.0 production environments. At the end of the work it is discussed how Green Knowledge Management may address the recycling and reduction of knowledge to provide possibilities for reusability. The reduction of knowledge supports the prevention of redundant knowledge fragmentation or the usage of outdated knowledge.

In this context, the multivariate version of univariate Markov regime change model (MS-VAR) which is developed by Hamilton (1989) and is used prevalently in econometric applications, is performed for Turkey. Markov regime model is a non-linear model approach for changes that it is not known when they occured and it is used to predict the results in stochastic way. Moreover, these models are widely used because they also enable the dating of economic networks. This study the relationship among CO2 emission, renewable energy consumption and gross domestic product were analyzed by the use of MS-VAR model.

As result, this rapidity has produced a growing gap between a slow world and one more and more fast, with negative consequences on the environment and especially on the wellbeing of people. On the other hand, slowness has gradually established itself as a kind of manifesto which opposes the dominant system of values and reaffirms the importance of other dimensions of life in addition to labour and productivity. In this perspective, the study focuses on the set of “slow” practices aimed at enhancing territories and implementing sustainable development models, also in connection with tourism. For this purpose some Italian slow cities’ experiences are taken into consideration.

In this context, biomass represents an attractive alternative because of its sustainability and its abundance. The catalytic conversion of biomass gives access to various chemical intermediates and potential fuels. As biomass exhibit many functional groups, generally it is converted into so-called platform molecules, which can be transformed to valuable chemicals by de- and refunctionalisation. This transformation requires new catalyst design as well was new process strategies to enable an efficient and selective access to the desired products. This thesis describes a new range of products from fufuralacetone accessible via multifunctional catalytic systems. At first, the potential products from furfuralacetone were identified and a suitable catalytic system was evaluated. Especially, in ionic liquids (IL) stabilised transition metal nanoparticles showed very promising activity and selectivity. It was possible to synthesis four different hydrogenation products starting from furfuralacetone selectively by employing various IL-stabilised nanoparticles. Particularly ruthenium nanoparticles stabilised in 1- dodecyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethansulfonyl)imid Ru@[C12MIM][NTf2] exhibited high activity and selectivity in the conversion of furfuralacetone to the fully hydrogenated product 2-(4-tatrahydrofuryl)-butanol. Furthermore, recycling experiments of Ru@[C12MIM][NTf2] showed no loss of reactivity or selectivity over fife cycles. In comparison to classic homogeneous and heterogeneous rutheniums catalyst the nanoparticles systems were much more reactive and tolerant towards biomass substrates and were able to hydrogenate various bio-based molecules. Moreover, by immobilising the nanoparticles on a solid support it was possible to apply the catalyst in continuous hydrogenation of furfuralacetone in supercritcial CO2. Modification of the nanoparticle systems was possible by functionalisation of the ionic liquids with sulfonic groups. The introduction of an acidic group lead to multifunctional catalytic systems with a redoxactive and an acidic site. These catalytic systems were very active in the hydrogenation and dehydration of 4-(2-tetrahydrofuryl)-butanol to 2-butyltetrahydrofuran and the C8-OL products 1-octanol and 1,1-dioctylether. By varying the ionic liquid and the reaction conditions it was possible to tune the selectivity to the desired product with a high selectivity towards secondary alcohols. Only traces of the fully hydrogenated product octane were observed. The combination of the hydrogenation step with the following hydrogenation and dehydration in a two step-one pot reaction gave access to the valuable C8-OL products with a selectivity of 93%. No purification in between was necessary. Furthermore, by immobilising the nanoparticles on acidic functionalised support it was even possible to recycle the catalytic system without loss in activity and selectivity. To conclude, the results of this thesis demonstrate that sensible catalyst and process design enables the synthesis of various products starting from the platform molecule fufuralaceton. The application of multifunctional ruthenium nanoparticles systems give access to valuable intermediates and potential fuels, which were not accessible before or only with poor selectivity.

Im Fokus der Arbeit steht die Antwort auf die Frage, wie hoch das Potenzial für ein Nachhaltigkeitsmanagementsystem auf Basis von Open Source Technologie im dritten Sektor ist. Um dies herauszufinden, wurde zusammen mit sechs Nonprofit Organisationen ein reales Open Source Projekt umgesetzt und dieses Projekt beforscht. Nur wenn eine NPO an einem Open Source Projekt zu einem Nachhaltigkeitsinformationssystem teilgenommen hat, kann sie auch eine realistische Evaluation des Nutzens dieser Technologie abgeben ? so lautet die Annahme. Der initiale Prototyp des Projekts beruhte auf einer fundierten Analyse der Anforderungen an ein optimales Nachhaltigkeitsinformationssystem für NPOs. Die Anforderungsanalyse wurde mit Hilfe verschiedenster explorativer Methoden (Experteninterviews, Expertenrunden, Online-Befragung) durchgeführt. Ziel hierbei war es eine Lösung, welche den Organisationen von Anfang an den grösstmöglichen Nutzen stiftet und sie zu einer proaktiven und langfristigen Teilnahme am Projekt animiert, zu definieren und anschliessend umzusetzen. Grundsätzlich lässt sich eine sehr hohe Eignung der Open Source Technologie für den dritten Sektor feststellen ? insbesondere für den Kontext des Nachhaltigkeitsmanagements. Aus der Abschlussevaluation des Projekts und den Daten aus der explorativen Erhebung wurden verschiedene Szenarios für Markt- und Absatzpotenziale ermittelt. In der beobachteten Stichprobe konnte ein Marktpotenzial von 57% und ein durchschnittliches Absatzpotenzial von 21,4% des Marktpotenzials ermittelt werden. This thesis illuminates open source technology against the background of sustainability management in nonprofit organizations (NPO). The focus of this thesis is set on the potential for a sustainability information system based on open source technology in the third sector. In order to find this out, together with six nonprofit organizations a real open source project was launched and examined. Only if a NPO participates in an open source a project about a sustainability information system, it can make a realistic evaluation of the use of this technology ? that?s the assumption. The initial prototype of the project was based on a deep analysis of the requirements to an optimal sustainability information system for NPOs. The requirement analysis was accomplished with diverse explorative methods (expert interview, expert rounds, on-line survey). The goal hereby was to define and implement a solution, which donates the greatest possible use to the organizations and motivates them for a pro-active and long-term participation in the project. Fundamentally a very high suitability of open source technology for the third sector can be determined - in particular for the context of the sustainability management. Resulting from the final evaluation of the project and the data out of the explorative examination, different scenarios for market potential and sales potential were determined. In the observed sample a market potential of 57% and an average sale potential of 21.4% of the market potential could be determined.
