Abstract. The modern enterprises consider the sustainable development as the one of basic conceptions of one's activity. In recent years, an increasing number of private as well as public organizations have been engaged with implementation and using of environmental management systems (EMSs). The research is built up by two main parts. In the first, author prepared theoretical analyses of literature and scientific publications. The second part based on survey results collected from Latvian companies using in depth interviews. Author proposes that the process of environmentally oriented business should be studied as a multi-dimensional issue. Company's external and internal environment elements were shown. In article author also investigated different factors influencing company's environmental management and motives of implementing EMS.

SammanfattningPå senare år har konsensus att hållbar stadsutveckling är kritisk för jordens och mänsklighetens framtid vuxit fram. Effekterna av befolkningstillväxten och människors påverkan på miljön syns runt om i världen, och är inte bara märkbar i många stora städer utan även i mindre städer, på landsbygden och till och med i obebodda områden. Därför står hållbar stadsutveckling i fokus i denna licentiatavhandling.Avhandlingen fokuserar på kommunorganisationens roll i hållbar stadsutveckling och organisering av processerna att utveckla strategier och politik som syftar till hållbar stadsutveckling. Utöver det har även deltagandet av andra aktörer i sådana processer studerats. Avhandlingen avslutas genom att presentera ett nytt begrepp som kan underlätta strategisk planering, nämligen "de fem faktorerna".De fem faktorerna är kommuners/aktörers kapacitet att arbeta för hållbar stadsutveckling; deras mandat att driva hållbar stadsutveckling; tillgängliga resurser som får disponeras; processernas omfattning och önskat utfall; och den individuella-och kollektiva viljan att uppnå hållbar stadsutveckling. Femfaktorsbegreppet skulle kunna bidra till framtidsanalys av hållbara stadsutvecklingsprocesser, i såväl planering som genomförande. De fem faktorerna bygger på slutsatser från licenciatsavhandlingens tre artiklar samt en syntes av dessa.Den första och andra artikeln presenterar resultaten från ett forskningsprojekt som granskade processerna kring framtagande av energi-och klimatstrategier i kommuner som deltog i det svenska nationella programmet Uthållig kommun. I första artikeln ligger fokus på organiseringen av processerna, medan erfarenheterna av deltagande intressenter reflekteras över i den andra artikeln. De två artiklarna bygger på befintliga teoretiska ramverk och presenterar en mängd empiri från fem kommuner, som erhållits genom t.ex. dokumentstudier, intervjuer. Utifrån detta har slutsatser dragits kring för-och nackdelar i utformningen av planeringsprocesser för energi-och klimatstrategier, t.ex. att processer som involverar intressenter tidigt även resulterar i strategier som är mer omfattande.I den tredje artikeln presenteras resultaten av en multidisciplinär litteraturundersökning. Vetenskapliga artiklar som handlar om "hållbar stadsutveckling" och publicerade under perioden 2011-2012 står i fokus. Artikeln syftar till att bättre förstå hur hållbar stadsutveckling tillämpas i praktiken, hur det beaktas, hur det representeras i den akademiska litteraturen, samt vilka effekter som uppstår på grund av denna representation, såsom t.ex. ett brist på analys av governance processer för hållbar stadsutveckling i kommuner. Medan de första artiklarna behandlar praktiken med hänsyn till specifika teoretiska perspektiv, syftar den tredje artikeln till att ge en överblick och identifiera utmaningar och möjligheter inom forskningen för hållbar stadsutveckling. Tillsammans illustrerar de tre artiklarna ett flertal aspekter som påverkar utvecklingen av kommunernas strategiska arbete för hållbar stadsutveckling -de...

“…The funding needed to complete or sustain the smooth running of such technologies is therefore diverted to another project(s) of interest. This is a big problem that would have to be solved especially in countries or companies where there are frequent changes of governments or management [4,20,39]. …”

“…It then becomes evident that the current pattern of our economic activities cannot be sustained for long without significant innovation. Consequently, the populace and governments that have to deal with these disasters are demanding from companies more innovative cleaner approaches to production of goods and services [2][3][4]. These demand for cleaner industrial activities led to development of policies and several research efforts aimed at eliminating or minimizing these material losses as well as their attendant socioeconomic and ecological impacts [5,6].…”

Increasing number of innovative waste reduction technologies are continuously being developed across various industrial sectors. Adoption and assimilation of proven waste reduction technologies can lead to significant resource savings, cost reduction, protection of biodiversity, and environmental conservation. However, transfer and adoption of technologies either across industrial sectors or geographical jurisdictions may pose enormous challenges to the adopters. In this study, issues affecting successful adoption and assimilation of waste reduction technologies from developed countries to developing countries and from one industrial sector to another were examined. Potential solution based on empirical study were also proposed. The study involved extensive literature survey and analysis of adoption procedures used by a number of technology adopters observed. It was discovered that the sustainability of waste reduction technology adopted depends on the fitness of the technology to the overall corporate success strategy, its compatibility with the corporate culture, availability of enabling operational infrastructure, sustained socio-political interest, and lifecycle cost of the technology.
