“…The analytic hierarchy process (AHP) method was developed by Saaty between 1971 and1975. This method is increasingly used in the design of decision support systems based on a multi-attribute approach since it is easy to implement in computer systems and its mathematical model presents a relatively simple algebraic calculation [34]. This method has been used to design decision systems, such as risk zones and landslide susceptibility mapping (e.g., [42][43][44][45]), earthquake hazard (e.g., [46]), flood zones (e.g., [47,48]), and coastal vulnerability assessment (e.g., [49][50][51][52][53][54]). The advantages of this method are pointed out in [34].…”

Sea level rise, a consequence of climate change, is one of the biggest challenges that countries and regions with coastal lowlands will face in the medium term. This study proposes a methodology for assessing the vulnerability to sea-level rise on the Atlantic coast of mainland Portugal. Some scenarios of extreme sea levels for different return periods and extreme flooding events were estimated for 2050 and 2100, as proposed by the European Directive 2007/60/EC. A set of physical parameters are considered for the multi-attribute analysis based on the Analytic Hierarchy Process, in order to define a Physical Vulnerability Index fundamental to assess coastal vulnerability. For each sea-level rise scenario, coastal vulnerability maps, with a spatial resolution of 20 m, are produced at a national scale to identify areas more vulnerable to sea-level rise, which are key elements for triggering adaptation plans for such vulnerable regions. For 2050 and 2100, it is estimated that there will be 903 and 1146 km2 of vulnerable areas, respectively; the Lisbon district being identified as the most vulnerable in both scenarios. Results are available as a Web Map Service for the Portuguese public entities, and through a web map viewer for the public and communities in general.

“…Perubahan iklim dan pemanasan global merupakan isu utama yang menjadi pembahasan bagi seluruh Negara di dunia. Hal ini tidak lepas dari peran perusahaan sebagai sebuah entitas bisnis yang memberikan dampak lingkungan yang besar akibat proses produksi yang dilakukan perusahaan (Chen et al, 2012). Untuk mencegah kerusakan lingkungan hidup yang besar dari aktifitas produksi, seluruh perusahaan yang beroperasi di diwajibkan untuk menjalankan tanggung jawab sosial terhadap masyarakat serta berupaya untuk menjaga kelestarian lingkungan hidup.…”

“…Adanya informasi yang lebih mendetail terkait dengan pengungkapan CSR oleh perusahaan akan menurunkan biaya yang dikeluarkan oleh investor pasar modal untuk mencari tambahan informasi mengenai aktivitas perusahaan. Dalam era berbasis lingkungan, penting bagi perusahaan untuk mengubah model bisnis perusahaan dan pandangan manajerial untuk mendapatkan keuntungan dari masalah lingkungan dengan memanfaatkan peluang yang ada dari permasalahan tersebut melalui penciptaan manajemen berbasis lingkungan (Chen dan Chang, 2012).…”

The purpose of this study is to find empirical evidence of the role of mediating stakeholder influence capacity (SIC) on the effect of corporate social responsibility (CSR) on corporate financial performance. This type of research is quantitative research with explanatory research approach to analyze the influence of variables examined in the research hypothesis. The population used in this study are manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) for the 2014-2016 period. This research uses purposive sampling technique and uses statistical analysis of Structural Equation Model with Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS) approach with the help of WarpPLS 5.0 software. The results showed that CSR and SIC had a positive effect on corporate financial performance. This shows that the efforts of managers in carrying out CSR programs have an impact on increasing corporate financial performance, and increasing SIC has a good effect on improving corporate financial performance. In addition, CSR has a positive effect on SIC. This shows that the efforts of managers in improving CSR programs provide an attraction for stakeholders to increase their support for the company. The results of the study indicate that SIC can mediate the effect of CSR on corporate financial performance. This shows that the increase in SIC helps CSR in improving corporate financial performance

Tsang, S.; Wang, W., and Ku, H., 2015. The intention of job seekers to apply for jobs in small and medium-size coastal enterprises based on the theory of planned behavior.Taiwan is surrounded by sea areas, ecological, cultural, and economic and maritime industries are closely related, and Taiwan coastline of 1319 km. Gravity buildings suitable for coastal and nearshore shallow waters, such as Haiti, revetments, piers, breakwaters, artificial islands, so as to soil, stone, concrete and other materials built into the slope, straight wall or hybrid type of structure, marine engineering industry is a long cycle, capital-intensive, technologyintensive, labor-intensive traditional industries. Taiwan's first engineering and coastal waters can be traced back in 1960 to build the Taichung Harbor, Suao harbor, Hualien, Kaohsiung and Keelung of building expansion, the Taiwan Power Company's various nuclear and thermal power plants. The Coastal Enterprises seeks to demonstrate the capabilities of the individuals job seeker, not focus on their disability. Based on the findings of past studies, many factors affect job seekers in terms of applying to work for SMEs. That is, external factors, job seekers' backgrounds, and enterprise related factors are all likely to affect job seekers' attitudes towards an enterprise; job seekers could also be affected by referent groups, and the effects of individual abilities. In order to summarize the many possible impact factors in a structured manner, this research uses the theory of planned behavior as its theoretical framework. This study also obtained the opinions of 320 respondents from the coastal engineering job fair held in Taiwan, and the results found that attitudes and perceived behavioral control are the main considerations affecting coastal engineering job seekers applying for SMEs' job vacancies. This research also proposes related research suggestions based on the research results. ADDITIONAL INDEX WORDS:Small and medium coastal engineering enterprises, the theory of planned behavior, job seekers.
