Abstract:Though sustainable development is widely accepted, its realisation is hampered by numerous factors, many of which are located within the political system. The paper discusses some of these hindrances and the council on sustainable development which is designated to counterbalance and attenuate them. Special attention is given to the council's functions and tasks, competencies and composition. Also, contradictions of different requirements and the contingencies of day-to-day politics are explored. Two existing … Show more
“…Compliance does not necessarily result in environmental protection, partly because political incompetence and short-term horizons affect regulatory regimes (Seidl, 2000;Slavich, 1993;Vaughan et al, 1994). Possible strategic planning scenarios involve a reduced regulatory role and greater selfregulation (Bonnett and Olson, 1994).…”

Drawing on theoretical and empirical research of relevance for eco-strategy and enviropreneurialism, this paper contends that it is unlikely that there will ever be "shelf" models for sustainability partnerships. Existing interdependence and responsibility strategies, however, should inspire an ongoing learning process for businesses that are interested in contributing to the achievement of Agenda 21.

It is commonly accepted that sustainable development covers economic, social and ecological aspects and maintains vital exchange process between socioeconomic systems and natural environment. Interdisciplinary subjects emerge as a particular result of sustainable development. Energy planning is one of them. In the past inadequate technologies and inaccessible data limited many research activities. At present great progress is achieved in the fields mentioned above. The cheapest and most precise source of data the is recent register of real estate. Therefore it is possible to design a database for energy planning, where classification criteria could be selected and data could be summarized and structured according to these criteria. The possibilities to use these data would be provided in particular models. Using data processing programs could do it. Some examples are given how databases are used in energy planning and some suggestions how make necessary changes are presented in the article. It is also mentioned what kind of extra data are required to have a multidimensional database. Data are related with data processing programs in order to improve and accelerate accumulation of data. This, in tum, helps using data widely for energy planning.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
