148. OSNUTEK STRATEGIJE ZA PREHOD MESTNE OBČINE NOVA GORICA DO OBČINE BREZ ODPADKOVMateja Pečnik, 2020, master's thesis Abstract: V magistrskem delu so opisane različne poti, po katerih občine pri ravnanju z odpadki poskušajo doseči stanje brez odpadkov – BO (angl. Zero Waste). Prikazano je, s kakšnimi pristopi, ukrepi in vlaganji so nekatere občine uvajale strategijo brez odpadkov ter kakšne učinke so pri tem dosegale. Nadalje so predstavljene skladnosti zakonske ureditve s sistemom brez odpadkov oziroma kje in kakšna so neskladja. V nadaljevanju se naloga nanaša na stanje sistema ravnanja z odpadki v Mestni občini Nova Gorica (MONG) in drugih goriških občinah. Primerjani so podatki o zbranih količinah odpadkov in njihovi končni uporabi, kar je kasneje uporabljeno v primerjavi z nekaterimi občinami, ki uvajajo sistem BO. Upoštevani so podatki o učinkovitosti ločenega zbiranja odpadkov na območju delovanja Komunale Nova Gorica, d. d. Izpostavljeni so obstoječi ukrepi in primeri dobrih praks ponovne uporabe. Na osnovi intervjujev in analize izpolnjenih anket je ocenjena pripravljenost skupnosti za aktivno vključitev, ki je potrebna za prehod občine na strategijo BO pri ravnanju z odpadki. Končni korak zajema uporabo zbranih podatkov za pripravo predloga strategije, po kateri bi MONG lahko dosegla stanje brez odpadkov. Predlog obsega ukrepe, njihovo časovno razporeditev, zahteve ukrepov in njihov učinek pri doseganju ciljev. Ocenjene so možnosti za razvoj »zelenih« delovnih mest ter drugi posredni učinki.

149. Managing karst in Coastal British Columbia, Canada : systems and implementation resultsPaul Andre Griffiths, 2020, doctoral dissertation Abstract: This thesis provides a detailed description and analysis of the system used for managing karst in the forests of coastal British Columbia (BC), where the major land- use activity is industrial forestry. In 2004, BC shifted from a more prescriptive forest management model (the Forest Practices Code) to a less regulated, results-based approach based primarily on the Forest and Range Practices Act (FRPA). The dissertation examines how this results-based management approach for forest resources has worked – or not worked – with respect to karst.
The research focused on the five key realms of an environmental management system as defined by the International Standards Organization (ISO 14001 standard): 1) Legislation and Policy, 2) Planning, 3) Implementation, 4) Checking/Corrective Action, and 5) Management Review. The research also examined the roles of professional reliance (another major foundational element of the FRPA model), karst research, and organizational capacity as external factors which influence on the functioning of the karst management system. A combination of interviews, surveys, document reviews and field observations were used to collect qualitative information relevant to all aspects of the karst management system.
This research reveals inadequacies in all five realms of BC’s current karst management framework, including gaps in legislation, a lack of implementation of existing standards and guidelines, and non-existent effectiveness and compliance monitoring. The results suggest that BC’s shift to ‘self-regulation’ has yielded unsatisfactory results so far for karst resources and has hindered progress toward implementing a fully integrated science-based ecosystem approach to karst management in the study area. Professional reliance failures are identified as one of the key factors contributing to a breakdown of the management system for karst.
This is the first comprehensive study that examines the systems and processes used for managing karst in coastal BC, and consolidates knowledge for government, industry, and others that wish to study or better understand BC’s approach and methods for managing karst. The findings will be useful for private and public forest sector organizations endeavoring to implement fully-functional and effective systems for managing karst in a forestry context. This information may also have more specific applications for managing karst.
