▼ The aim of this thesis was to examine the perceptions of using frameworks and indicators, such as Agenda 2030, for sustainable development within the area of the built environment, in the City of Gothenburg. The opinions of the interviewed stakeholders varied with regards to the need of using Agenda 2030 and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) locally. Several interviewees meant that the municipality has an extensive amount of programs, and that Agenda 2030 should not be handled in a separate program. Therefore, it seemed to be preferred that the SDGs should be integrated in existing programs, or in financial control documents. Further, findings from literature showed that there is a lack of knowledge regarding sustainable development indicators (SDIs), and their impact on policy-making and to have better outcomes. However, a local adoption of Agenda 2030 requires adaptation of the global targets and indicators, to increase the relevance of the targets in local sustainability reporting and policy-making. All private companies included in this study were seen to have adopted Agenda 2030 for their operations. One of the reasons was by the authors suggested to depend on that organizations less complex than the municipal organization, face minor difficulties in the implementation, since they in comparison are less obliged to adopt the whole set of goals. Considering that studies have shown that the municipality already has strong steering towards sustainability, another implemented sustainability framework may be perceived as needless by politicians in the City Council and Committees. Conclusion regarding the research question, about defining the sustainable city, was that especially concrete targets and indicators are needed, else various actors involved with the built environment, will not follow the same desired path towards the sustainably built city. Furthermore, we the authors argue that SDG 11, in comparison to the national environmental quality goal 15 - god bebyggd miljö (a good built environment), better answer the question regarding the ’sustainably built city’. Furthermore, SDIs are needed as they provide guidance. There are some important things to consider when using indicators, such as that they are reflections of human values and never purely objective, that not everything is meaningful to measure, and that indicators purposed to assess sustainable development must be followed for a long time.

Subject of the thesis is to develop environment policy tools and procedures on sustainability for local governance authorities use. Here is produced a set of indicators as a tool for sustainability assessment of the challenges of climate change and their application in the Attica Region Greece. This set will serve as a key policy tool for methodological adaptation of human settlements to climate change but also to reduce their participation in the greenhouse effect. In the first part of the thesis examines the evolution of the human settlements in relation to sustainability where we try to give the message that their development was always in an inverse relationship with the quality of the surrounding environment, particularly the natural. In the second part of the thesis is an analysis of key features that define the key elements for the sustainability of the urban environment such as urban density and land use , transportation, water resource management, energy management and green waste management. The third part of the thesis presents the world wide issue of climate change and its relation to human settlements. Important tool for the sustainability assessment, is the application of indicators. In the thesis is recommended a "menu" of existing and new indicators that meet the new challenges of climate change and serve as evaluation tools of the existing situation. The indicators are introduced a sequential integeration process in accordance with a "cause and effect metamodel" as the DPSIR one (OECD). Here, after quantifying they enter into a logical evaluation and production of political, social and economic practices scheme in order to improve them. In the fourth part of the thesis, deals with the implementation of the proposed set of indicators, in a selected area of the Attica region , specifically in the town of Laurion in order to test the functionality. The application highlighted the strengths and vulnerabilities of the application area, and more especially the applicability of indicators through which, a series of policies and measures is proposed that could be incorporated within the policy at local level with a view of enhancing the environmental performance of local authorities.

▼ The civil engineering sector has an import role to devise sustainable solutions in order to reduce the negative environmental impact of its projects. Sustainable civil engineering projects are needed to achieve, for example, the goal of the European Union to cut the 20% annual primary energy consumption of the construction industry in 2020. Currently, the sustainable performance of civil engineering projects is unknown since a standardized method that can measure sustainability in projects from different civil engineering fields is lacking. Although there are multiple tools that can assess the sustainability of specific elements in projects, a pragmatic method that has a broader view on project sustainability is not available. Therefore, this research aims to develop an sustainability indicator framework that is able to measure multiple sustainability aspects in projects from various fields of civil engineering. The research question is: How can sustainability of projects from different civil engineering fields be measured in a pragmatic and standardized way? The research has been performed on behalf of Grontmij Nederland B.V. and the University of Utrecht. The research starts with scrutinizing the most important sustainability indicators for civil engineering projects by doing literature research and interviews with civil engineers. The result is a framework that takes three important players in project development into account: the client, the civil engineering firm and the suppliers. For each player, one or more sustainability indicators are developed. Furthermore, each indicator consists of one or more checks. The client indicator checks if sustainability talks have been held with the civil engineering firm. For the civil engineering firm, three indicators are assessed: sustainability assessment tools, sustainable material-use and energy reducing measures. The sustainability assessment tools indicator checks if sustainably tools are adopted during the development of a project. The sustainable material-use indicator checks if sustainable materials are used and the energy reducing measures indicator checks if measures are applied to reduce the energy use during the use phase of a project. The supplier indicator checks if sustainable suppliers are involved in the project development. Finally, civil engineers and sustainability experts at Grontmij were asked in a workshop to weigh the importance of the indicators and checks. The result is a pragmatic sustainability assessment framework where hundred points are obtainable. By doing case study analysis, the framework is tested on four projects of Grontmij. The case studies show that the framework succeeds to measure sustainability in the projects. Advisors/Committee Members: Giezen, M..

O presente trabalho analisou a capacidade que os sistemas de indicadores e indicadoressíntese; produzidos ou fruto de adaptações de metodologias criadas pela ONU; têm de operacionalizar fenômenos referentes ao desenvolvimento humano e sustentável; dentro da escala do meio urbano. O objetivo foi o de identificar; sistematizar e analisar de que forma as variáveis componentes do meio urbano são abordadas por cada conjunto de indicadores estudados; relacionando as potencialidades e as limitações deles para a utilização enquanto ferramentas de informação; no auxílio à tomada de decisão; dentro do escopo do planejamento e da gestão urbana. Foram selecionados os indicadores-síntese: Índice de Desenvolvimento Humano Municipal (IDH-M) e Índice Paulista de Responsabilidade Social (IPRS); e os sistemas de indicadores: Indicador de Desenvolvimento Sustentável (IDS); Objetivos de Desenvolvimento do Milênio (ODM); Metodologia GEO Cidades e Indicadores da Agenda Habitat. O método de pesquisa se baseou na análise dos indicadores colhidos de acordo com o atendimento deles em relação com os Princípios de Bellagio (IISD; 2000); e também com respeito às variáveis comuns ao planejamento e a gestão do meio urbano; que foram elencadas como saneamento; habitação; meio ambiente; mobilidade; segurança e educação. Os resultados indicaram que os indicadores-síntese e sistemas de indicadores estudados não se mostraram adequados; tanto em relação ao atendimento dos Princípios de Bellagio; quanto em relação à cobertura das variáveis comuns ao planejamento e a gestão do meio urbano. Os indicadores-síntese mostraram suas qualidades para a comunicação efetiva e a orientação de visão e metas; enquanto que os sistemas de indicadores mostraram virtudes na capacidade de avaliação do sistema. No que tange às potencialidades e fragilidades dos conjuntos de indicadores estudados para a utilização no planejamento urbano; o uso destes indicadores; como ferramentas de informação no processo decisório; tende a ser feita de forma indireta. Como conclusão final deste trabalho; destaca-se que a utilização de indicadores deve ser encarada como uma forma de se tomar consciência acerca do nosso cotidiano. Atualmente; os sistemas de indicadores e indicadores-síntese existentes não reúnem condições ideais para se analisar o meio urbano sob uma perspectiva holística; pois há fragilidades e lacunas que prejudicam seu funcionamento.

▼ This study used the socio-eco efficiency framework as an application tool to resilience the green environment at Kombolecha industrial zone by balancing the water consumption growth and green environmental tradeoffs. In addition, it aimed to determine the significant indicators, which associated with the water consumption and recycling efficiency. The consumers (factories and households) socio-eco efficiency practices were limited and then caused groundwater degradation and green environmental depletion. Previous studies, for instance, BASF (2009), ESCAP (2011) eco-efficiency, and Sailing et al., (2013) SEE balance (socio-eco efficiency) analysis targeted the company’s product portfolio and quality improvement. This study, however, considered both factories and household’s consumption activities that were proven to manifest in a complex water consumption compared to the production process. The study integrated social, economic and environmental indicators and determined the socio-eco efficiency effects on theresource consumption growth and green environment tradeoffs; water consumption and recycling efficiency. Subsequently, the study then developed a socio-eco efficiency model that used to balance the gaps between water consumption and recycling intensity inefficiency. The socio- eco efficiency indicators could, thus, be an applied tool that could be measured by employing the binary logistic regression, instrumental variable model, simultaneous equation model and the propensity score matching estimation. Based on this, this study results indicated that the household’s awareness, perception and consumption behaviours concerning the green mind adoption, product, market, technology and jobs use were strongly associated and influenced by the water resource consumption growth and green environment tradeoffs at the 5 percent significance level. Particularly, the household’s social aspects, consumer’s culture, behaviour and poverty; economic (monthly income) and environmental aspects (waterquantity limit and waste recycle) were found to bestatistically significant and strongly altered the water resource consumption and recycling efficiency by 0.000 values at the 95 percent confidence level. This study implication was thesocio-eco efficiency framework, which was key the finding of the study that holds the three key indicators, did directly associate and significant determine the factories and household’s groundwater consumption and recycling intensity differently by 0.000 values at the 95 percent confidence level. The socio- eco efficiency model could thus be an analytical tool that could be applied into groundwater consumption and recycling process. The socio-eco efficiency resource model, which is a key tool to resilient the green environment, optimized the water consumption and recycling efficiency and could be incorporated into the groundwater and green environment protection policy of Ethiopia. This study, in a circular fashion, proved socio-eco efficiency application and resolved some of the consumption paradox in… Advisors/Committee Members: Mukonza, Chipo (advisor), Chitakira, Munyaradzi (advisor).

▼ The complex relationship between human societies and the environment has become a thriving field of research over the past three decades. The contribution of human osteoarchaeology to exploring this relationship, however, has been rather limited. Two unpublished late medieval skeletal assemblages unearthed in the historical centres of Bucharest and Braşov (located in southern and north-central Romania respectively) seemed ideal choices for investigating the impact of substantial climatic and environmental changes that took place worldwide between the 14th and the 18th century AD. As witnessed by medieval artistic and documentary sources, this unsettled climate was mirrored by human populations with social and political instability, epidemics, famine, but also through the rise of new cultural movements. The analysis of over 600 individuals (a minimum number of 421 individuals from Bucharest and 206 from Braşov) was carried out to: 1) Provide a thorough osteological analysis, and compare and test statistically the collected data to reconstruct demographic and pathological patterning; 2) Identify ‘skeletal environmental markers’, i.e. possible indicators of the effect of climatic shifts on the human body; 3) Cross-reference osteological, archaeological, historical and climatological data in order to present a robust biocultural assessment of the impact of environmental and historical events on the Romanian population during the Middle Ages. The identification of low life-expectancy, higher mortality rates for children and young adults and general high morbidity levels were in line with other studies on medieval populations. However, evidence for a high prevalence of specific physiological and psychological stress markers was observed in these two geographically, culturally and economically different urban communities. As a strong mortality- and morbidity-shaping factor, the detrimental effect of climate anomalies is one of the main explanations for such findings, and is supported by medieval historical sources and recent advances in Romanian climatological studies. Despite some limitations (i.e. incomplete chronological information for most of the burial contexts, minimal local historical sources, lack of funding for isotopic analyses, and time constraints), the results of the present study have offered a new perspective on the relationship between Romanian medieval populations and their living environment, and have shown the enormous potential of interdisciplinary bioarchaeological research in Romania.

▼ O estudo teve como objetivo caracterizar indicadores de qualidade ambiental da água de bacias hidrográficas de regiões serranas com níveis de impactos diferenciados, definindo e quantificando benefícios decorrentes dos serviços ambientais dos ecossistemas florestais. Foi realizado no município de Nova Friburgo região serrana do Estado do Rio de Janeiro, em duas bacias hidrográficas contribuintes do rio Paraíba do Sul, com usos distintos do solo e. A sub-bacia do Rio Grande, com 22.000 ha, 25,50 km de comprimento e 80 km de perímetro, padrão de drenagem dendrítico com rios de até 5 ordem, apresenta índices de compacidade de 1,52 e circularidade de 0,43, sofrendo o impacto da agricultura de alta produtividade. A microbacia do Rio Debossan com 1.000 ha, perímetro de 15,05 km e comprimento de 7,45 km, padrão de drenagem do tipo dendrítico com rios de até 3 ordem, índices de circularidade e compacidade de 0,55 e 1,34, respectivamente, possui 100% da sua cobertura com floresta em estágio avançado de regeneração. Ambas unidades hidrológicas possuem Estações de Tratamento de Água para o abastecimento à população do município, porém com diferenças substanciais. A E.T.A. do Rio Grande necessita de 1.300 m2 de área construída, 12 funcionários e demanda produtos químicos (floculan, cal e cloro) para o tratamento da água, atingindo uma produtividade média de 263,15 l/s. A E.T.A. Debossan necessita de 100 m2 de área construída, 3 funcionários e apenas a utilização do cloro no tratamento da água para atingir uma produtividade de 192,94 l/s. Os dados de qualidade de água do Rio Grande foram fornecidos em períodos de duas em duas horas com duração de quatro anos (2000, 2001, 2002 e 2003), enquanto o consumo de produtos químicos pelas E.T.A.s era diário. O indicador mais bem ajustado foi o cloro, explicando 97,76% da variação dos parâmetros de qualidade da água, em seguida foi o floculan e a cal, explicando 97,01% e 90,08%, respectivamente. Os resultados das análises de regressão indicaram que os produtos químicos são efetivos como indicadores da qualidade ambiental do manancial, se enquadrando pela proposta da OECD como indicadores de Estado pela sua simples utilização e como indicadores de Pressão quando analisados através de séries históricas. O floculan está relacionado à produção de sedimentos pela bacia, a cal ao impacto da agricultura através do uso de insumos agrícolas e o cloro a urbanização. O ecossistema bacia hidrográfica do Rio Grande está atingindo um novo equilíbrio homeostático devido à ausência das funções ambientais, sendo o impacto antrópico mais percebido na estiagem. Tal impacto ocorre em virtude do desenvolvimento agrícola e urbano desordenado, estando em processo de degradação pelos mesmos motivos. A tendência de degradação ou aumento no custo da produção foi em média de 8,88% ao ano e nos quatro anos de 26,46%. Em termos de benefício prestado pelo ecossistema florestal, a E.T.A. Debossan necessita de uma área 10 vezes menor para atingir a mesma produtividade que a E.T.A. Rio Grande. Caso a sub-bacia do Rio… Advisors/Committee Members: Rogério Ribeiro de Oliveira.

▼ Background: Risks assessments and subsequent assignment of interventions are important nursing tasks. Nurse-sensitive screening indicators, such as screening of delirium, screening of malnutrition, and pain assessments are therefore commonly used to benchmark nursing care quality. Previously, specific characteristics of nurses and their work environment have been linked to nurses’ abilities to perform well and to deliver high quality of care. Understanding the influence of these factors is necessary in order to improve the quality of nursing care. Aims: The aims of this thesis were: (i) to assess the value of nurse-sensitive screening indicators as measures to evaluate quality of nursing care, and (ii) to determine contributing factors in nurses’ work environment and individual characteristics of nurses that affect the quality of care. Methods: A series of studies were performed, including a systematic review of literature, two cross-sectional studies, a descriptive-exploratory study, an observational study in intensive care units (ICUs), and a survey study among the nurses of these ICUs. The results of these studies were synthesized and discussed to generate evidence-based recommendations for clinical practice and future research. Results: We found that nurse-sensitive screening indicators are potentially valid and useful measures to gain insight into the quality of nursing care in hospitals. However, the following challenges occurred with regard to indicator measurement: (i) applicability of indicators in daily nursing practice, (ii) uniformity in indicator definitions, (iii) continuity in monitoring of indicators, and (iv) multitude of quality registrations. This is also represented by the various barriers related to attitude, knowledge and behavior that were perceived by nurses. Nurses’ educational level and the work environment characteristics of nurse staffing levels, autonomy, patient-centered cultural values and professional relationships are important in relation to the quality of care provided. The emerging mediating factor of nurses’ proactivity seems to be the hidden force in care processes, connecting characteristics of nurses and their work environment (nurse level) to nurses’ job performance and patient outcomes in hospitals (organizational level). Conclusions: To gain full understanding of the quality of nursing care, it is necessary that organizational entities (policymakers, hospital organizations) continuously assess the value of nurse-sensitive indicators as representative measures of quality. At nurses’ level, nurse managers have to, and also should be allowed to create healthy work environments for their nurses. Bridging the gap between measurement of quality of nursing care and clinical reality involves enhancing nurses’ intrinsic motivation to appropriately use quality indicators, by showing their added value in nursing practice. Individual nurses could optimize their own performances by means of continuous education and maintenance of competences. All in light of the overarching goal of… Advisors/Committee Members: Schuurmans, Marieke, Kaljouw, Marian J..

▼ While there is a trend towards improving agricultural sustainability, the implementation and uptake of sustainability initiatives will be facilitated if burdens imposed on those expected to participate are perceived as fair. In order to judge whether the distribution of benefits and burdens of agricultural sustainability improvement is fair, there needs to be clarity around which principles can be plausibly used to judge fairness in the context of sustainability enhancement. The research sought to understand how New Zealand agricultural enterprises conceptualise equity or fairness concerns surrounding environmental enhancement. A vignette survey method was used to elicit views on fairness in different distributive justice vignettes. The results suggest that farmers often prioritise fairness concerns over productive efficiency concerns. It was found that in the interest of equity, a grower who was seen to be struggling financially should receive lower environmental improvement targets. Conversely, additional burdens were allocated to a grower who contributed little effort to improving his environmental performance. In contrast to the arguments of many distributive justice theories, the respondents did not give additional support to a struggling grower whose adverse circumstances were caused by events outside of his control. The thesis demonstrates that farmers are sensitive to distributive justice concerns, and that these concerns could have an important role in the development of successful sustainability assessment initiatives. It also highlights the importance of studying equity concerns in a specific context and challenges both the reliance on theories of distributive justice, and the generalising to real world distributive justice challenges of justice research undertaken with student samples. The thesis progresses distributive justice and social choice literature through the application of theoretical principles of distributive justice to a real-world scenario with a practitioner sample. In doing so, the thesis provides insights on the applicability of theoretical notions of fairness to the construction of an effective sustainability assessment initiative.

The present work tries to evaluate the contribution of the ?Projeto de Educação Ambiental / Environmental Education Project? (PEA) of the ?Programa Bahia Azul? in the construction of knowledge and in the development of values and attitudes related to the environment and sanitation along with environmental agents. It also characterizes the monitoring process and the project evaluation along with managers and specialists involved in its accomplishment, providing allowance to create a definition of accompanying and evaluation indicators of this kind of project. Data collection was done by qualitative method, involving formulary application along with environmental agents of the ?Bacia do Alto do Pituaçu? community and questionnaires application along with managers and specialists. The obtained data analysis allowed to find out that PEA?s educational actions provided a knowledge construction about environment, health, and sanitation, which by its turn, resulted in the development of attitudes and values that are expressed through the community?s involvement in the improvement and maintenance of environment quality. The community?s behavior change recovers the importance of environment agents? educational actions. Given to the fact that the executor organ did not accompany the process, it ended up restricting the environment agents? action in the community, making the waste sanitation system maintenance reflect negatively. PEA?s evaluation methodology privileged a predominant quantitative approach based in the project?s accomplishment target verification that these communities have about environment and sanitation and about their participation in the implemented equipments. PEA?s evaluation and monitoring lacks made impossible the continuation of data feeding and its respective analysis. For this reason, it turns out not viable the use of the obtained results as parameters for the next program?s planning and implementation.

A legislação vigente obriga aos Tribunais de Contas Estaduais a garantirem o meio ambiente saudável, assim um dos mecanismos que o Tribunal de Contas do Estado do Amazonas -TCE/AM, pode utilizar-se é a Auditoria Ambiental. O objetivo geral da pesquisa é Avaliar os Indicadores de Auditorias Ambientais de Resíduos Sólidos Urbanos, aplicadas pelo TCE/AM nos anos de 2010 a 2014 em Manaus, mediante a comparação dos problemas estruturais ede gestão ambiental identificados pelo exame com os indicadores do Plano Diretor de Resíduos Sólidos de Manaus e Indicadores de sustentabilidade para a gestão de RSU na dimensão ambiental/ecológica da literatura científica para comprovar se os relatóriosde Auditoria apresentam razoavelmente os problemas de gestão ambiental dos resíduos sólidos do Município de Manaus.Quanto aos procedimentos é classificada como uma pesquisa bibliográfica e documental. Fez uso de documentos públicos publicados na internetpelo TCE/AM e relatórios de Auditorias Ambientais realizadas.Identificou-se os indicadores de Auditoria Ambiental utilizados pelo TCE/AM, por meio da revisão da literatura científica, relatórios de auditorias do TCE/AM. A Auditoria do TCE encontrou situações de risco ambiental. Constatou-se o registro de que as águas do igarapé do Matrinxã, a partir de sua entrada nos limites do ACM, bem como às águas subterrâneas nos poços mais próximos ao Aterro, estão comprometidas. A contaminação dos recursos hídricosno entorno do ACM são provenientes do passivo ambiental relativo à deposição irregular de resíduos sólidos no antigo “lixão" por mais de 20 anos, atrelado à operacionalização inadequada. Também constatou-se a aceleração do processo de saída dos efluentes das lagoas de chorume em virtude das águas pluviais e de solo arrastado, proveniente das erosões nos taludes do entorno. A pesquisa comprovou a razoabilidade dos relatórios de Auditoria quando revelam os problemas de gestão ambiental dos resíduos sólidos do Município de Manaus no período 2010 a 2014.

▼ The recent increase in U.S. natural gas production made possible through advancements in extraction techniques including hydraulic fracturing has transformed the U.S. energy supply landscape while raising questions regarding the balance of environmental impacts associated with natural gas production and use. Impact areas at issue include emissions of methane and criteria pollutants from natural gas production, alongside changes in emissions from increased use of natural gas in place of coal for electricity generation. In the Rocky Mountain region, these impact areas have been subject to additional scrutiny due to the high level of regional oil and gas production activity and concerns over its links to air quality. Here, the MARKAL (MArket ALlocation) least-cost energy system optimization model in conjunction with the EPA-MARKAL nine-region database has been used to characterize future regional and national emissions of CO₂, CH₄, VOC, and NO_x attributed to natural gas production and use in several sectors of the economy. The analysis is informed by comparing and contrasting a base case, business-as-usual scenario with scenarios featuring variations in future natural gas supply characteristics, constraints affecting the electricity generation mix, carbon emission reduction strategies and increased demand for natural gas in the transportation sector. Emission trends and their associated sensitivities are identified and contrasted between the Rocky Mountain region and the U.S. as a whole. The modeling results of this study illustrate the resilience of the short term greenhouse gas emission benefits associated with fuel switching from coal to gas in the electric sector, but also call attention to the long term implications of increasing natural gas production and use for emissions of methane and VOCs, especially in the Rocky Mountain region. This analysis can help to inform the broader discussion of the potential environmental impacts of future natural gas production and use by illustrating links between relevant economic and environmental variables.

Bakgrund och problem – Negativ miljöpåverkan orsakas i allt högre grad av olika globala utvecklingstrender och trenden hållbarhetsredovisning växer sig allt större bland företag. För att få en jämförbarhet mellan företags hållbarhetsarbeten finns ramverket GRI som ger ut riktlinjer för vad och hur företag ska redovisa. Tidigare forskning visar att det finns olikheter mellan branscher i vad de väljer att redovisa. Syfte - Studiens syfte är att undersöka hur hållbarhetsredovisning skiljer sig åt mellan branscher i Sverige samt vad dessa skillnader beror på. Avgränsning - Studien har avgränsats till att undersöka stora svenska börsnoterade bolags hållbarhetsredovisningar, publicerade 2014, som tillämpar Global Reporting Initiative:s riktlinjer. Enbart företagens arbete med miljö och socialt ansvar har studerats. Metod - I studien har en kvantitativ undersökningsansats valts för att enklare kunna mäta och sammanställa insamlad empiri. Information har hämtats från företagens års- och hållbarhetsredovisningar samt webbsidor. Data har, genom innehållsanalys, kodats om för att underlätta hantering av information. Resultat och slutsats - Studien visar på att det finns skillnader mellan de undersökta branscherna då en del av dem redovisar en större omfattning än andra. Materialbranschen är den bransch som redovisar mest information medan hälsovård redovisar minst. Växthusgaseffekt, energiförbrukning samt information om anställda redovisas mest frekvent bland samtliga företag. Förslag till fortsatt forskning - I fortsatt forskning kan en liknande undersökning göras men där intervjuer genomförs för att få en djupare förståelse kring företagens hållbarhetsarbete. En jämförelse mellan den offentliga och den privata sektorn samt granska hållbarhetsredovisningar över tid är även förslag till fortsatt forskning.

Background and problem - Negative environmental impacts are increasing due to various global development trends and sustainability reporting is growing among companies. To get a comparability between companies' sustainability work GRI can be used which publishes guidelines for what and how companies should report. Previous research shows that there are differences between sectors in what they choose to report.Purpose - The study aims to examine how sustainability reporting differs between industries in Sweden and what these differences are caused by. Delimitation - The study has been limited to analysing major Swedish listed companies' sustainability reports, published in 2014, which applies the Global Reporting Initiative guidelines. Only companies' work on environmental and social responsibility have been studied. Method - In the study a quantitative survey approach has been used to make it easier to measure and compile the collected empirical data. Information has been gathered from companies' annual and sustainability reports, as well as their web pages. Data has through content analysis been reworked to facilitate the information management. Results and conclusions - The study shows…

▼ This thesis is aimed at understanding the environment domain of the Canadian Index of Wellbeing (CIW) and how it can further contribute to communicative strategies that promote strategic sustainable development. Several ways of conceptualizing, describing and measuring the relationship between human wellbeing and the environment have been attempted in the past through a number of wellbeing indices, but none of these have been entirely successful at capturing the intricacies and potential implications inherent in the relationship. This study attempts to cast light on how the environment domain of the CIW can benefit from having a guiding framework to better communicate the pressures placed on the environment and show links to other aspects of societal behaviour and wellbeing. The goal is to contribute to a better conceptualization of sustainable progress and a tool for policy integration. An in-depth literature review was conducted to report on how human wellbeing and the environment have been measured. The empirical basis of the thesis is expert interviews. Six of the interviewees have been involved in the development and application of well-known wellbeing indices. The study also interviewed two regional level planners in Waterloo with deep interest in environmental sustainability. This thesis proposes the Drivers-Pressures-State-Impact-Response (DPSIR) as a guiding framework for the environment domain of the Canadian Index of Wellbeing (CIW) with resource use indicators from Material Flow Analysis (MFA). Food and Transportation are then proposed to improve the scope of the domain and the index. From a planning perspective, they represent key political, economic and environmental issues. They are both important to Canadian livelihoods and present direct connections between wellbeing and the environment. By presenting food and transportation indicators using the DPSIR framework and MFA as a tool they become understandable and communicate a strong message about how these systems are affecting the Canadian environment. Other potentially emergent concepts were also presented in this thesis. Further research into many of these concepts, both developing and established, are suggested to further the applicability of the CIW for Canadian policy leverage. This study has the potential to build a universal understanding of what these terms mean and how wellbeing indices can be used to develop a better understanding of the important link between elements of the environment and human wellbeing.

▼ <h3>Eagle Ford Shale (EFS) play is one out of five major oil and gas formations in Texas, found in the South-Eastern region with approximately 30 counties. In addition to natural gas, it produces crude oil and petroleum liquids which in recent times has resulted in a surge in drilling due to a new drilling technology – hydraulic fracturing that injects massive quantities of water along with sand and chemical additives into a well to create tiny hairline cracks in rock formations. The success of this technology has made gas extraction more economically feasible. However, this technique has generated an array of potential threat to the environment and human health especially on air quality since the beginning of its use in 2008. The air quality concerns include the release of large amounts of greenhouse gases from these effluent and volatile organic compounds from transport vehicles, machineries and storage tanks.</h3> <h3>This study assessed the adequacy of the air monitoring stations present in the different counties that make up the EFS that are being utilized by the State for ambient air quality monitoring and policy making purposes. The assessment was based on 40CFR 58.10, that required the State to conduct a quinquennial network assessment for the existing air monitoring stations based on specific criteria. This was done in this study to validate the adequacy of the pollution concentration data collected from these monitors. Data retrieved from the monitors were further used to statistically show if significant changes in the air quality with time exist using the Wilcoxon signed rank test.</h3> Results from the assessments showed limitations in the monitoring network in providing adequate data for trend analysis. This is due to unavailable or lost monitored data, malfunction in equipment or absence of air pollution monitors in some of the most heavily drilled counties like Brazos County. Also the statistical results showed a significant change in air quality for carbon monoxide in Webb County only (p =0.017) while there was no significant change for the other pollutants. In addition, the results was also inconclusive due to low statistical power since the bulk of the data used came from monitors located in only two counties: Fayette and Laredo out of the 30 EFS counties. <h3>These results point to the need for adequate continuous air monitoring in regions where this technology is used to better safeguard human and environmental health. In order to reduce uncertainties, further studies that incorporate other factors that contribute to air pollution like weather and nearby industries are needed to correctly gauge the level of impact this technology has on the overall air quality in the Eagle Ford Shale.</h3> Advisors/Committee Members: Sheryll Jerez, Yanli Zhnag, Rena Saito.

Hållbar utveckling och i synnerhet hållbar stadsutveckling används idag som ett ledord för hur de flesta städer önskar utvecklas. Hållbarhetsindikatorer har etablerats som ett verktyg för att underlätta beslutsfattande åtgärder genom att förenkla, förtydliga och samla information. Tanken är att indikatorer ska styra och följa upp hållbarhetsarbetet men även fungera som ett verktyg för att kommunicera idéer, tankar och värderingar. I denna studie ämnar vi att beskriver hur hållbarhetsindikatorer kan bidra med att effektivisera hållbarhetsarbetet. Genom att undersöka hur tre svenska kommuner använder sig av indikatorer tillsammans med forskning inom området presenteras en slutsats som visar att det finns stora brister i de system som idag tillämpas. Litteraturen förespråkar ett fåtal indikatorer som bygger på både kvalitativa och kvantitativa värden där kommunikation blir centralt vilket går helt emot vad kommunerna gör. Nya indikatorsystem som bygger på deltagande där den tänkta målgruppen är i fokus skulle leda till en förståelse kring hållbarhetsmålen vilket är en förutsättning för att kunna nå dem. Indikatorerna ska underlätta beslutsfattande åtgärder där rollen som styrnings- och uppföljningsverktyg 2 blir central samtidigt som kommunikationen blir viktig i hållbarhetsarbetet. Som medborgare blir det svårt att påverka eller förstå hållbarhetsarbetet när det inte redovisas på ett begripligt sätt och när det är svårt att följa utvecklingen. Avslutningsvis presenteras en förstudie till ett projekt där ett förslag på hur en intern process vid framtagandet av ett nytt indikatorsystem skulle kunna gå till.

Sustainable development and in particular sustainable urban development are now catchphrases for how most cities wish to develop. Sustainability indicators have been established as a tool to facilitate decision-making measures to simplify, clarify and gather information. The idea is that indicators should control and follow through sustainability efforts but also serve as a tool to communicate ideas, thoughts and values. The aim of this study is to describe how sustainability indicators can help to streamline sustainability efforts. By looking at how three Swedish municipality use indicators along with research in the theoretical field a conclusion that shows that there are major weaknesses in the systems applied today is presented. The research advocates a few indicators based on both qualitative and quantitative values where communication is central which completely goes against what the municipalities are doing at the moment. New indicator systems based on participation where the intended audience is primary would lead to a broader understanding of sustainability goals, which is a requisite for achieving them. Indicators could facilitate decision-making where the role of management and monitoring will be key along with communication towards sustainability. As a citizen it is difficult to influence or understand sustainability projects when they are not presented in an understandable way and when it is…

▼ In order to protect or improve surface waters ecosystem response to pressures needs to be quantified. Diatoms are frequently used for assessing ecological status in streams and for reconstructing water quality of lakes. However, ecological status assessment of European lakes based on extant diatom assemblages is rare. The overall aim of this thesis is to facilitate the application of benthic diatoms in water quality assessment of boreal lakes, using methods developed for stream assessment. Therefore, I investigated (i) the main environmental drivers of lentic diatom assemblages, (ii) the structural differences between lentic and lotic diatom assemblages (iii) the implications of differences between lake and stream diatom assemblages for assessment, (iv) the power of different aquatic organisms as indicators of nutrient and acidity status in lakes, and (v) ecological thresholds of diatom and phytoplankton assemblage structure along a nutrient gradient in boreal lakes. The major environmental drivers of benthic diatom assemblage composition in boreal lakes were gradients in acidity and nutrient status. In contrast, the distribution of ecological diatom guilds seems to be decoupled from nutrient availability in acidic compared to high pH aquatic systems. Diatom assemblage composition can thus be recommended for ecological status assessment of boreal lakes, whereas species-specific growth morphology and the drivers affecting growth morphology need further study. Most diatom taxa occurred in Swedish lakes and streams, but differences in frequency and abundance among lakes and streams were noted. However, the diatom indices IPS and ACID, developed for streams, responded similarly to nutrient and acidity gradients, respectively, in Swedish lakes and streams and can thus also be recommended for ecological status assessment of lakes. In nutrient poor boreal lakes, both primary producers and primary consumers were correlated with nutrient concentrations. Primary producers, especially diatoms, displayed a stronger response to pH than macro-invertebrates, possibly due to shorter generation times implying faster response. Nutrient thresholds in taxonomic and guild structure of benthic diatom assemblages in boreal lakes were found at low TP concentrations (18-26 μg L⁻¹). However, caution is advised in interpreting the response of some species to nutrients, as pH dependencies might obscure the response of some nutrient sensitive diatom species to TP.

Subjects/Keywords: phytoplankton; bacillariophyceae; lakes; rivers; invertebrates; indicator organisms; acidity; nutrient availability; eutrophication; benthic environment; benthic diatoms; lakes; environmental drivers; streams; indicators; phytoplankton; littoral macroinvertebrates; efficacy; nutrient thresholds

Os órgãos de monitoramento ambiental necessitam de indicadores de referência para a avaliação continuada dos impactos ambientais. Indicadores são obtidos por meio da comparação dos teores totais de elementos tóxicos de um solo com valores determinados em condições naturais (não poluídos) ou com valores de referência. No Brasil, com a crescente demanda social pela melhoria e manutenção da qualidade ambiental, alguns estudos foram realizados com o objetivo de estabelecer valores orientadores para metais pesados em solos. Estes são valores préestabelecidos quanto à presença de substâncias químicas que possibilitam a verificação de possível contaminação. A legislação brasileira estabelece três valores orientadores: Valores de Referência de Qualidade (VRQs), de Prevenção (VP) e de Investigação (VI). O VRQ indica o limite de qualidade para um solo considerado limpo a ser utilizado em ações de prevenção da poluição do solo e no controle de áreas contaminadas. Foram coletadas amostras de solo dos estados de Mato Grosso e Rondônia, nas profundidades de 0-5, 5-10, 10-20 e 20-30 cm, em áreas de vegetação nativa (sem ou mínima intervenção antrópica). Objetivou-se com essa dissertação: (i) determinar os valores de referência de metais pesados em solos de Mato Grosso e Rondônia; (ii) avaliar métodos de extração de teores pseudototais de metais pesados (EPA 3051 e Água Régia); (iii) correlacionar estes valores com atributos físicos e químicos dos solos; (iv) correlacionar os resultados desse estudo com valores já estabelecidos para solos de outros estados brasileiros. Partiu-se das hipóteses: i) não ocorrerão diferenças entre os teores naturais de metais pesados nos solos de Mato Grosso e Rondônia pelos dois métodos de extração de teores pseudototais de metais; ii) os VRQ de metais pesados para os solos de Mato Grosso e Rondônia são diferentes dos VRQ obtidos para solos de outros estados brasileiros; e iii) haverá correlação significativa entre os teores naturais de metais pesados e os atributos físicos e químicos dos solos. Houve diferença entre os métodos da água régia e EPA 3051 para recuperação dos metais Co, Ni, Pb e Zn, sendo a água régia o método que mais extraiu esses elementos, enquanto os teores de Cr e de Cu não diferiram entre os métodos. A água régia, em geral, apresentou maiores recuperações dos teores pseudototais de metais pesados nos solos. Os teores dos óxidos de Fe e Mn foram as variáveis que, de forma geral, mais correlacionaram com os metais pesados. O teor de carbono orgânico não contribuiu para avaliação da variação geral dos teores de metais por não correlacionar significativamente com nenhuma variável. As variações encontradas entre os teores de metais pesados dos solos do mundo e de outros estados brasileiros reafirma a necessidade da obtenção de valores de referência para cada estado ou para cada tipo de solo, dependendo da variação das características geomorfológicas, pedológicas e geológicas do estado.

Os investidores são um dos agentes que passam a cobrar instrumentos para mensurar a sustentabilidade econômica, ambiental e social das empresas. As bolsas de valores lançam os índices de sustentabilidade que são compostos por empresas que incorporaram esses indicadores na gestão, utilizando como referência as principais dimensões da sustentabilidade. O objetivo deste trabalho é analisar o impacto da criação de indicadores de sustentabilidade empresarial sobre a gestão ambiental das empresas. Há poucos estudos que relacionam índices do mercado financeiro com a gestão ambiental das companhias, neste trabalho, optou-se pela aplicação de duas formas distintas de pesquisa: exploratória com o estudo das principais referências bibliográficas e publicações especializadas; e descritiva com análise documental, entrevista com especialista no assunto e levantamento junto a representantes de empresas listadas na Bolsa de Valores de São Paulo. Os objetivos específicos são: analisar os critérios para elaboração e composição das dimensões do ISE/Bovespa, relacionar a metodologia do ISE/Bovespa com outros índices de bolsas estrangeiras, comparar a rentabilidade de índices que incluem cláusulas ambientais com aqueles que não possuem, verificar o interesse das empresas em participar da composição do índice e levantar junto às empresas a contribuição do ISE para a gestão ambiental. Os resultados indicam que a metodologia do ISE/Bovespa abrange a maior parte dos aspectos e instrumentos de gestão ambiental. Contudo, o índice tem baixa adesão das empresas, a rentabilidade não supera a dos índices tradicionais e ainda não consegue influenciar de maneira significativa a gestão ambiental das organizações.

The investors represent one of the agents who start to charge instruments to measure the economic, environmental and social sustainability of the companies. Ahead of this scene the stock-market launches the sustainability index that are composites for companies that have incorporated this indicators at the management, by using as mention the essential dimensions from the sustainability. The objective of this paper is to analyze the impact of the creation of the entrepreneurial sustainability indicators on the environmental management of the companies. There are few studies what relationship of the financial market with the environmental management from the corporations, in this paper, it was opted to the application of two distinct forms of research: exploratory with the study of the main bibliographical references and specialized publications; descriptive with documentary analyses, interview with specialist in the subject and survey with the representatives of companies listed in the Stock Exchange of São Paulo. The specific objectives are: analyze the criteria for elaboration of the ESI Bovespa, relate the methodology with others indexes of foreign stock-markets, compare the profitability, verify the interest of the companies in participating of the composition of the index and raise together to the companies the contribution of ESI for…

Depuis les années 1960, les villes françaises sont soumises à un processus d'étalement urbain. Cet étalement se traduit par l'émergence d'une catégorie d'espace située à l'interface entre la ville et la campagne : le périurbain. Les caractéristiques sociales, urbanistiques, ou liées aux pratiques spatiales de ses habitants confèrent au périurbain une singularité et une spécificité propres. Il s'agit d'un espace de contradiction qui attire à la fois en raison du cadre de vie plutôt « naturel » qu'il offre aux ménages, mais également en raison de sa proximité avec la ville et des potentialités liées à l'accessibilité à diverses aménités urbaines.Pour comprendre plus finement cet engouement pour le périurbain, cette thèse propose d'explorer la relation individu-environnement résidentiel sous l'angle de la satisfaction que retirent les individus de leur cadre de vie. Il s'agit de mettre en relation une information de nature cognitive avec une information de nature spatiale. En modélisant chacune de ces composantes par l'utilisation d'indicateurs spécifiques, divers modèles statistiques sont mobilisés pour mettre en lumière les attributs spatiaux du cadre de vie susceptibles d'avoir une influence sur la satisfaction des individus.L'approche modélisatrice est centrale dans la démarche suivie. Après voir mené une enquête de satisfaction sur plus d'un millier de ménages vivant dans un secteur périurbain de Besançon, la démarche s'est attelée à construire des indicateurs en vue de caractériser deux types d'aménités de leur environnement résidentiel : le paysage et l'accessibilité aux commerces et services. Chacune de ces aménités est ensuite intégrée dans des modèles statistiques permettant d'évaluer leur contribution dans le degré de satisfaction du ménage.La démarche, essentiellement modélisatrice et exploratoire, offre toutefois des perspectives intéressantes dans le domaine de l'aménagement du territoire et de la planification urbaine. En ayant recours à des modèles simples et reproductibles, il s'agit de d'établir des documents cartographiques décrivant le potentiel de satisfaction à grande échelle.

Since the 1960s, French cities are concerned with an urban sprawl process. This urban sprawl leads to the emergence of a particular space located at the interface between the city and the countryside: the periurban. The social, morphological or the spatial practices of its inhabitants give the suburban a particular singularity and specificity. It is a space of contradiction that attracts both because of the "natural" living environment that it provides to households, but also because of its proximity to the city and the opportunities related to accessibility to various urban amenities.To understand more precisely this enthusiasm for periurban areas, this thesis proposes to explore the individual-residential environment relationship in terms of the satisfaction. The aim is to link a cognitive information with a spatial information. By modeling each of these components by the use of specific indicators, various statistical…

Notre recherche s'inscrit dans le cadre de la problématique générale du développement et de la ville durable. En partant de l’analyse de notre environnement construit et notamment des réponses architecturales et urbaines à apporter en vue de diminuer de façon significative les émissions des gaz CO2, limiter l'effet de serre et préserver la biodiversité, nous nous sommes attachés à l'étude d'un écoquartier situé dans une ville emblématique du point de vue écologique, celle de Grenoble, et dans l'un de ses espaces urbains : la caserne de Bonne. Nous sommes partis de l'hypothèse que c'est tout d’abord au plan local, puis régional et national que l’on devra élaborer et mettre en pratique des solutions adaptées pour lutter contre toutes les formes de pollution, créer et innover en matière d'énergie renouvelable, tout en diminuant de façon progressive l'usage des énergies fossiles. C'est en tant qu'architecte urbaniste praticien que nous avons voulu apporter notre contribution dans ce domaine, en optant pour une analyse approfondie de l’écoquartier de l'ancienne caserne de Bonne à Grenoble.

Our research addresses the general issue of urban development and how to design sustainable cities through architecture and town planning. Our analysis focused on a study of caserne de Bonne, an ecodistrict located in Grenoble, which is an emblematic city from an ecological viewpoint. Our task was to significantly reduce CO2 gas emissions, limit the greenhouse effect, and preserve biodiversity. We developed our hypothesis to devise satisfactory solutions to fight pollution, reduce the use of fossil fuels, and create innovative ways to employ renewable energy. Our program will start locally, then expand on a regional and national level. We observed that in residential districts, remedies such as reducing transportation generated pollution, conserving energy, treating household waste, and other parameters,can be scaled up and implemented regionally and nationally. As architect and urban planner, we wanted to contribute to this field by providing an analysis of Bonne ecodistrict.

Dissertação de Mestrado na área da Tecnologia alimentar, apresentada na Escola Superior Agrária de Santarém, Instituto Politécnico de Santarém.

Óleos alimentares (OA) sucessivamente reutilizados (OAU) conduzem a degradações irreversíveis. Este projecto (2012-2015), resultou da parceria UIIPS/IPS & Grupo Os Mosqueteiros, sendo a ESAS executora. Pretendeu-se seleccionar Indicadores de Degradação da Qualidade (IDQ), parâmetros físico-químicos que aliem baixo custo, rapidez e rigor na sinalização de atributos de defeito em OAU’s. Realizaram-se ensaios simulados em laboratório (testes de fritura e provas de estufa) e compararam-se resultados com os obtidos no biénio anterior, em OAU’s de uso real, pela correlação dos parâmetros: Acidez Total, Índice de Peróxidos, Índice de Iodo, Cor CIELab, Absorvência no UV e monotorização por controlo microbiológico e Compostos Polares Totais. Aplicando Melhores Práticas Laboratoriais Disponíveis, foi validado, a partir do normativo, um procedimento interno para AbsUV. Dependendo da fase do ciclo de vida, concluiu-se que AT, IP e cor CIELab (b*, C*) se adequam como IDQ’s; AbsUV e IInd, complexos e morosos, perfilam-se como métodos complementares, de referência.

Oils (OA) successively reused (OAU) lead to irreversible degradation. This project (2012-2015) resulted from the UIIPS / IPS & Grupo Os Mosqueteiros partnership, and ESAS is the executor. It was intended to select Quality Degradation Indicators (IDQ), physical-chemical parameters that combine low cost, speed and accuracy in the signaling of defect attributes in OAU's. Simulated laboratory tests (frying tests and greenhouse tests) were carried out and the results obtained were compared with those obtained in the previous biennium, in OAU's in real use, by the correlation of parameters: Total Acidity, Peroxide Index, Iodine Index, CIELab Color, UV Absorbency and Microbiological Control Monitoring and Total Polar Compounds. Applying the Best Available Laboratory Practices, an internal procedure for AbsUV was validated from the normative. Depending on the phase of the life cycle, it was concluded that AT, IP and color CIELab (b *, C *) are suitable as IDQ's; AbsUV and IInd, complex and time-consuming, are outlined as complementary, reference methods.

▼ This thesis develops and validates a comprehensive methodology for measuring sustainability of a large river basin by using a tailored indicator set. The concept of river sustainability concerns not only the ecological condition of the river course, but also socioeconomic activities in the river basin. River sustainability is defined from five perspectives: sufficient resource, resilience to water-related risks, access to water supply and other services, productive use of water, and fairness between different users and generations. The Process Analysis Method (PAM) is employed as the guideline for developing sustainability assessment framework. As a participatory approach, PAM engages stakeholders to identify emerging issues and impacts on sustainability. Through a systematic process, a tailored indicator set is selected and categorized under three domains, namely, environmental performance, social wellbeing, and economic development. Two case studies have been undertaken, examining the underlying sustainability of the Lower Yellow River basin (LYR) and Upper Ganges River basin (UGR). Extensive fieldwork was carried out in China and India, in order to conduct stakeholder interviews and to collect multivariate data. 18 indicators are selected for LYR and 12 for UGR. The LYR assessment is conducted over the period from 1950 to 2010, whilst UGR features a 10-year period from 2001 to 2010. By processing raw hydrological data and socio-economic statistics, a normalized score is calculated for each indicator in a given year, the value ranging between 0 and 1, where 0 represents poor performance and 1 refers to a fully sustainable status. The results show that, although social wellbeing and economic status for LYR have progressively improved since 1950, environmental quality declined in the latter half of 20th century, with the lowest point in 1997 when extreme drought occurred. The Yellow River Conservancy Commission (YRCC), the government authority responsible for the LYR, implemented measures to improve the river health by multifunctional infrastructure projects and water allocation regulation. This effort proved to be effective as the general sustainability performance subsequently improved. The UGR study also identifies the trade-off between environmental capital and socioeconomic capital. With vast expansion of hydropower projects and new settlement in flood-prone areas, communities along the UGR are increasingly vulnerable to extreme events. However, the Ganges river basin authority lacks the capacity for integrated planning which would enable projects like flood defence schemes to be undertaken in a proper framework. It is likely that the environmental performance of the UGR will continue to decline, particularly with increasing uncertainty in climate, as the UGR basin management is not improving resilience sufficiently. By performing this comparative analysis, it has been shown that integrated river basin management should incorporate institutional capacity, stakeholder engagement, resilience and transparency.

▼ i <h1>Sammanfattning </h1> Bakgrund: Arbetsgivare ska enlig svensk arbetsmiljölagstiftning arbeta systematiskt för att förbättra arbetsmiljön. Det systematiska arbetsmiljöarbetet ska ge effekt för att arbetstagarna inte skadas, blir sjuka eller drabbas av ohälsa på grund av arbetet. Arbetsmiljöarbetet ska leda till ständiga förbättringar av såväl den fysiska, organisatoriska som sociala arbetsmiljön. Syfte: Syftet med detta examensarbete är att identifiera arbetsmiljöindikatorer som kan användas för att mäta arbetsmiljöarbetets effekt på ohälsa, olycksfall eller en i övrigt god arbetsmiljö. Examensarbetet omfattar arbetsmiljöindikatorer som nämns i den vetenskapliga litteraturen och arbetsmiljöindikatorer som används av företag i praktiken. Examensarbetet undersöker vilka arbetsmiljöindikatorer som är gemensamma från den vetenskapliga litteraturen och de intervjuade företag samt om det finns arbetsmiljöindikatorer som visar på en signifikant effekt på ohälsa, olycksfall eller en i övrigt god arbetsmiljö. Metod: Examensarbetet har genomförts i två delar, en litteraturstudie i tre databaser och en intervjustudie av sex personer från tre företag inom tillverkningsbranschen. Det insamlade materialet analyserades och arbetsmiljöindikatorerna som framkom kategoriserades. Indikatorerna grupperades i fem kategorier och utifrån teman vilket resulterade 16 indikatorgrupper. Resultat: Resultatet visade att 319 arbetsmiljöindikatorer identifierades i litteraturstudien och 78 i intervjustudien. Den största kategorin i litteraturstudien var ohälsa, olycksfall och övrigt god arbetsmiljö och den största kategorin i intervjustudien var olycksfall och ohälsa. Den största indikatorgruppen i litteraturstudien var riskhantering och i intervjustudien psykosocial arbetsmiljö. I litteraturstudien identifierades en indikatorgrupp för arbetsmiljöpolicy som inte återfinns i intervjustudien. I intervjustudien identifierades fem indikatorer som inte återfinns i litteraturstudien. Litteraturstudien identifierade 22 indikatorer som visade på signifikanta samband med effekter i arbetsmiljön till exempel arbetsrelaterad stress som har ett samband med ökat antal arbetsrelaterade skador. Ett annat exempel är att utföra riskbedömningar vilket ger färre antal arbetsolyckor. Diskussion: Det finns inte någon standardiserad uppsättning av arbetsmiljöindikatorer och information saknas ofta om hur arbetsmiljöindikatorerna ska mätas och vilket måltalet är. En önskan att kunna mäta ”var är vi nu och vart ska vi?” gällande arbetsmiljöarbetet ges uttryck för i intervjustudien. Eventuellt kan detta behov öka framöver i och med att ISO 45001 ställer krav på att använda indikatorer för att mäta effekterna av arbetsmiljöarbetet. Förslag för framtida tillämpad forskning är att ta fram standardiserade arbetsmiljöindikatorer med tydliga måltal. Uppsättningen av…
