“…The average farm size in the ED has a negative effect, which may relate to the profitability of enterprises associated with larger farms. Land prices are recognised as having a significant effect on the attractiveness of afforestation, particularly given the long-term nature of the investment (Kula, 1992). In this study self-reported values were employed as actual sales data were lacking.…”

Land use change is fundamentally a product of the interaction of physical land characteristics, economic considerations and agricultural and environmental policies.Researchers are increasingly combining physical and socio-economic spatial data to investigate the drivers of land-use change in relation to policy and economic developments. Focusing on Ireland, this study develops a panel data set of annual afforestation over 2811 small-area boundaries between 1993 and 2007 from vector and raster data sources. Soil type and other physical characteristics are combined with the net returns of converting agricultural land to forestry, based on the microsimulation of individual farm incomes, to investigate land conversion. A spatial econometric approach is adopted to model the data and a range of physical, economic and policy factors are identified as having a significant effect on afforestation rates. In addition to the financial returns, the availability and quality of land and the implementation of environmental protection policies are identified as important factors in land conversion. The implications of these factors for the goal of forest expansion are discussed in relation to conflicting current and future land use policies.

“…Environmental valuation is attained by estimating the effect of a change in environmental conditions on social welfare, which is called the total economic value (TEV) of the change. Practically, this is based on people's willingness to pay (WTP) an amount of money in order to avoid an environmental degradation or their willingness to accept (WTA) a compensation in order to suffer the environmental impacts incurred [10][11][12][13]. TEV can be divided into use values and non-use values reflecting the fact that people also value resources for moral reasons and bequest reasons, unrelated to current or future personal use of the good.…”

Given the limited resources, an effective way of prioritizing brownfield rehabilitation could be according to the total costs and benefits produced by each site. Aside from the potential return from a profitable new use, brownfield rehabilitation benefits also come from contamination and stigma elimination. The latter, however, are not directly incorporated in the market, and therefore a comparable value is missing. Environmental valuation methods could monetize environmental enhancement in order to attain the comparison of benefits with remediation costs, on the same basis. Towards this direction, an interactive tool is currently being developed, namely the Greek Environmental Valuation Database (GEVAD), on the grounds of the benefit transfer method. This tool can facilitate the valuation of brownfield external costs and benefits, improving the justification of rehabilitation funds.

“…The extraction of natural resources increased exponentially since the industrial revolution, which combined with the increased emission wastes resulted in the actual environmental situation [1]. This development path aims for a sustained growing, thus increasing the emission of wastes and residues [2].…”

Abstract--Universities are essential towards Sustainable Development (SD) and Cleaner Production (CP), which assess the relation between the economic and the environmental performance of companies (two of the pillars of SD) can bridge universities with companies of the production and service sector. CP stands as a rapid developing branch of science and can be used as a way to SD, while ensuring high impact researches in universities. Additionally, CP can turn into an alternative source of incomes through consulting to companies and the government.Keywords--Cleaner Production, Higher education, sustainable development, Education.Resumen--Las universidades son esenciales en el camino hacia el desarrollo sostenible y la producción más limpia. En particular, la producción más limpia, que evalúa la relación entre economía y medioambiente (dos pilares del desarrollo sostenible) de empresas del sector de producción y servicios, puede servir de puente entre las universidades y el sector de producción y servicios. La producción más limpia es una rama de rápido desarrollo de la ciencia que puede ser utilizada como un camino hacia el desarrollo sostenible, mientras investigaciones e alto impacto en las universidades. Adicionalmente, la producción más limpia puede ser una fuente de ingresos a través de consultorías a compañías del sector de producción y servicios y al gobierno.Palabras claves--Producción más Limpia, Educación Superior, Desarrollo Sostenible, Educación
