Scientists are confronted with significant data management problems due to the huge volume and high complexity of environmental data. An important aspect of environmental data management is that data, needed for a process, are not always in the adequate format. In this contribution, we analyze environmental data structure, and model this data using a semantic-based method. Using this model, we ...

This study proposes a model linking firm motivations for seeking ISO 14001 certification to the effectiveness of three major components of an environmental management system (EMS)--environmental policy, the assessment of environmental aspect and impacts, and management review. The relationship of these EMS components with a self-reported measure of environmental performance is also examined. Fr...

Although there has been considerable research on the analysis of the second order effects of movement (i.e., the analysis of the patterns, similarities, or characteristics of trajectories), Gschwend and Laube (2012) argue that not enough research has addressed the analysis of first-order effects (i.e., the impact of the environmental context in which movement takes place). In this paper we outl...

In this paper, we demonstrate our tool Aspect-jEdit that supports the editing of inline aspects. Inline Aspects identify a new aspect oriented notation, which supports the editing of aspects in their context with the help of hyperplane visualization. Aspect-jEdit uses the concepts of aspect folding in order to depict all possible aspect hyperplanes.

Environmental responsibility is evolving into a crucial aspect of strategic management as regulations are expected to tighten significantly in the near future following the need to mitigate the effects of climate change. Many businesses react to this challenge by implementing environmental reporting and management systems. However, often the environmental programme is not properly integrated in...

Recently more emphasis has been placed on the importance of variables that mediate person-environment relations. This paper describes the Environmental Appraisal Inventory (EAI), which is designed to measure three dimensions of environmental appraisal: (a) threat to self; (b) threat to the environment posed by environmental hazards, and (c) perceived control over environmental hazards. Hazards ...

The idea behind Aspect-Oriented Modeling (AOM) is to apply aspect-oriented techniques to (software) models with the aim of modularizing crosscutting concerns. This can be done within different modeling notations, at different levels of abstraction, and at different moments during the software development process. This paper demonstrates the applicability of AOM during the software design phase ...

the study of ngos network function as facilitator in enviropreneurship development in iranian environmental ngos was the main aim of this research that conducted as a casual model method. the statistical sample was 51 environmental ngos in iran that selected randomly. questionnaire research instrument was to measure the studied structures. content validity by panel study confirmed. to determine...

We live in an era where typical measures towards the mitigation of environmental degradation follow the identification and recording of natural parameters closely associated with it. In addition, current scientific knowledge on the one hand may be applied to minimize the environmental impact of anthropogenic activities, whereas informatics on the other, playing a key role in this ecosystem, do ...
