Selecting sustainability indicators for urban energy systems
Literature on the measurement of urban sustainability shows that no single indicator framework is appropriate for all applications. Consequently practitioners must consider the intended goals of indicator use and carefully choose metrics to maximize their relevance and effectiveness. The study of urban energy systems demonstrates these issues, as energy use is integral to many dimensions of urb...
متن کاملAssessment of Sustainability Indicators for Biodiesel Production
Biodiesel production may provide a sustainable route to reduce environmental pollution caused by fossil fuel consumption. In order to minimize environmental impacts of biodiesel production, the chemical process should be optimized to minimize waste generation and energy consumption. Therefore, it is important to design biodiesel chemical reactions and processes using green chemistry and green e...
متن کاملDeveloping sustainability criteria for urban infrastructure systems1
Research in the area of sustainable urban infrastructure reflects the need to design and manage engineering systems in light of both environmental and socioeconomic considerations. A principal challenge for the engineer is the development of practical tools for measuring and enhancing the sustainability of urban infrastructure over its life cycle. The present study develops such a framework for...
متن کاملSustainability Indicators Integrating Consumption Patterns in Strategic Environmental Assessment for Urban Planning
Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) practices in Europe have been traditionally applied to assess potential environmental impacts due to socio-economic drivers implying specific land use (viz. infrastructure, building and industrial development). However, other socioeconomic drivers related to citizen behavior, such as household consumption, may significantly contribute to the overall loca...
متن کاملdeveloping a spatial micro-level algorithm for evaluating accessibility to urban services
this research is aimed at developing a model for measuring and comparison amount of supply and demand for different urban services from quality of life and equity perspectives, in urban built-up areas. this paper explains different steps of implementing the model as a tool for evaluating accessibility of residents to various services according to two main criteria: land per capita and distance ...
