Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The composite assessment phase of environmental issues classifies three types of assessment indices: individual, combined, and comprehensive. They can also be classified by the impact contents to present four major elements of the living environment: safety, health, comfort, and convenience. Therefore, sustainable environmental governance and natural hazard impact assessment can compromise effective enforcement of environmental regulations. Most theories of comparative public administration focus on national institutions as the unit for analysis of effective policy-making, and there is a serious lack of studies on local public administration. This paucity of local analyses, therefore, is a deficiency when considering the question of strengthening planning, construction, design, management, and administration. The focus of sustainable environmental governance could be the organizing principle of sustainability and may view the terms of natural hazard impact assessment. The aim of the Special Issue is to study green governing processes characterized by the pursuit of a socioecological ideal.
Papers are invited that cover, but are not limited to, the main topics of:
- Natural resource management;
- Green computing and green chemistry;
- Environmentally friendly chemical engineering;
- Ecological economics studies;
- Soil and water conservation;
- Social impact assessment;
- Strategic environmental assessment;
- Monitoring and evaluation;
- Impact measurement management;
- Ecomunicipalities and sustainable cities;
- Permaculture, green building, sustainable agriculture;
- Circular economics, lifestyles, and ethical consumerism.
