Since mid-to-late 2000s growing interest for sustainable remediation has emerged in initiatives from several international and national organisations as well as other initiatives from networks and forums. This reflects a realisation that risk-management activities can about bring environmental, social, and economic impacts (positive or negative) in addition to achieving risk-based remediation goals. These ideas have begun to develop as a new discipline of “sustainable remediation”. The various initiatives have now published a number of frameworks, standards, white papers, road maps and operative guidelines. The similarities and differences in the approaches by these outputs and general trends have been identified. The comparison is based on a set of criteria developed in discussion with members of these various initiatives, and identifies a range of similarities between their publications. Overall the comparison demonstrates a high level of consensus across definitions and principles, which leads to the conclusion that there is a shared understanding of what sustainable remediation is both across countries and stakeholder groups. Publications do differ in points of detail, in particular about the operational aspects of sustainable remediation assessment. These differences likely result from differences in context and legal framework. As this analysis was carried out its findings were debated with members of the various international initiatives, many of whom have been included as authors. Hence the outcomes described in this paper can be seen as the result of a sort of multi-level debate among international experts (authors) and so can offer a starting point to new sustainable remediation initiatives (for example in other countries) that aim to start developing their own documents
Part 3: Policy and StakeholdersInternational audienceThe use of Open Government Data (OGD) involves multiple activities developed by networks of users with different capacities and goals, along a value chain. These users, and also government agents supplying OGD recognize benefits, motivations, barriers, facilitating and inhibiting factors in the process. This paper surveyed the perceptions of Brazilian OGD users and government agents, in order to provide information for the improvement of OGD supply and use

ABERTO: UM ESTUDO EXPLORATÓRIO NO ECOSSISTEMA BRASILEIRO RESUMOPressionados por novas exigências da sociedade, governos buscam novas formas de gestão, como forma de possibilitar uma maior aproximação de suas sociedades. Aliado a este fato, por serem grandes usuárias de tecnologia da informação, o que proporciona o crescimento de suas bases de dados, tornou os governos e respectivas organizações públicas terreno fértil para iniciativas de dados abertos. O acesso e uso de dados orçamentários públicos (por sua relação com receitas e gastos), historicamente sempre despertou grande atenção da sociedade. Assim este trabalho teve como objetivo identificar como os potenciais benefícios e possíveis barreiras impactam os resultados alcançados e lições aprendidas, no ecossistema brasileiro de dados governamentais abertos, na visão de intermediários que atuam com dados orçamentários. Foram realizadas entrevistas com atores (intermediários) dos governos e sociedade, com atuação no ecossistema de dados abertos orçamentários. Os resultados demonstram que barreiras estruturais dos governos impactam negativamente as ações dos intermediários, pois prejudicam o escopo das informações disponibilizadas. De outra parte resultados positivos são obtidos pela crença de que benefícios com relação à transparência e maior conhecimento dos processos podem ser obtidos pela sociedade, este fato motiva os intermediários a atuarem nesse ecossistema.

LESSONS LEARNED FROM THE USE OF BUDGETARY DATA OPEN FORMAT: AN EXPLORATORY STUDY IN THE BRAZILIAN ECOSYSTEM ABSTRACTPressured by new demands of society, governments seek new forms of management, in order to allow a greater approximation of their societies. Allied to this fact, because they are large users of information technology, which provides the growth of their databases, has governments and their public organizations fertile ground for open data initiatives. Access to and use of public budget data (for their relationship with income and expenses), historically aroused great attention of society. So this study aimed to identify how the potential benefits and possible barriers impact the results achieved and lessons learned in the Brazilian ecosystem of open government data, in the intermediate vision working with budget data. interviews with actors were held (intermediaries) from governments and society, acting in the budget open data ecosystem. The results show that structural barriers of governments negatively impact the actions of intermediaries, which limit the scope of information available. On the other hand positive results are obtained by the belief that benefits with respect to transparency and greater knowledge of the processes can be derived by the company, this fact motivates intermediaries to act in this ecosystem.
