Therefore, georesources are an essential development factor in the world, mainly oriented to their rational use to improve the quality of life of the surrounding population. This work aims to analyze the main applications, conservation strategies and sustainable use of georesources in the rural area of Manglaralto (Ecuador) through their inventory, assessment and analysis for the adaptation of alternative uses to particular circumstances (e.g., the COVID-19 pandemic). The method used consists of four phases: (i) inventory and mapping of georesources; (ii) description and assessment of georesources using international methodologies (e.g., GtRAM for georoute assessment, hydrogeological characterization using GeoModeller for groundwater assessment, GIS tools for assessing materials with industrial–artisanal interest, and KFM matrix method for the assessment of the level of construction difficulty of sanitary landfills); (iii) georesources complementary applications and (iv) SWOT analysis (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) and TOWS matrix preparation (Threats, Opportunities, Weaknesses, Strengths), seeking strategies to guarantee the viability of the use of georesources. As a main result of the investigation, the geolocation of the georesources of the area was obtained. In addition, the assessment of the main georesources such as (i) potential geosites and sites of geological interest (e.g., beaches, cliffs, waterfalls, capes), (ii) groundwater (aquifers), and (iii) materials with artisanal and industrial interest (e.g., clays, sands). Finally, the study allowed us to define areas to develop landfill infrastructure, identify ecosystem services, and construct tsunami refuge site proposals. The case study addressed shows that the inventory and definition of the use of geological resources constitute a fundamental process for the economic, social, and environmental development of the population.}, DOI = {10.3390/su14137856} } @MISC{LifeCycleAssessement2020, title = "What is Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)?", year = "2020", url = "https://sphera.com/glossary/what-is-a-life-cycle-assessment-lca", author = "Sphera’s Editorial Team", } @MISC{Bazan2002, title = "The Three Circles Model of Sustainability", year = "2002", url = "http://www.neo-terra.org/uploads/2/5/6/4/25644359/3-circle_model-website.pdf", author = "Gene Bazan and Tania Slawecki", } @MISC{HappyPlanetIndex, title = "Happy Planet Index", year = "2024", url = "https://happyplanetindex.org/", author = "{Hot or Cool Institute}", } @incollection{EcoEfficiency2019, title = {Chapter 1 - Methodology for Selection and Application of Eco-Efficiency Indicators Fostering Decision-Making and Communication at Product Level—The Case of Molds for Injection Molding}, editor = {Mangey Ram and J. {Paulo Davim}}, booktitle = {Advanced Applications in Manufacturing Enginering}, publisher = {Woodhead Publishing}, pages = {1-52}, year = {2019}, isbn = {978-0-08-102414-0}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.1016/B978-0-08-102414-0.00001-X}, url = {https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/B978008102414000001X}, author = {Paulo Peças and Uwe Götze and Rita Bravo and Fanny Richter and Inês Ribeiro}, keywords = {eco-efficiency, environment, indicator, injection molding, life cycle, sustainability, value}, abstract = {Eco-efficiency is a prominent as well as promising approach for fostering sustainability by assessing the environmental impact and value of companies’ activities simultaneously.

However, few such studies assess the role of species interactions, particularly under alternative environmental scenarios, despite interactions being key to ecosystem functioning. Here we address five questions of central importance to ecosystem multifunctionality using a terrestrial animal system. (1) Does the contribution of individual species differ for different ecosystem functions? (2) Do inter-species interactions affect the delivery of single functions and multiple functions? (3) Does the community composition that maximizes individual functions also maximize multifunctionality? (4) Is the functional role of individual species, and the effect of interspecific interactions, modified by changing environmental conditions? (5) How do these roles and interactions change under varying scenarios where ecosystem services are weighted to reflect different societal preferences? We manipulated species’ relative abundance in dung beetle communities and measured 16 functions contributing to dung decomposition, plant productivity, nutrient recycling, reduction of greenhouse gases, and microbial activity. Using the multivariate diversity–interactions framework, we assessed how changes in species identity, composition, and interspecific interactions affected these functions in combination with an environmental driver (increased precipitation). This allowed us to identify key species and interactions across multiple functions. We then developed a desirability function approach to examine how individual species and species mixtures contribute to a desired state of overall ecosystem functioning. Species contributed unequally to individual functions, and to multifunctionality, and individual functions were maximized by different community compositions. Moreover, the species and interactions important for maintaining overall multifunctionality depended on the weight given to individual functions. Optimal multifunctionality was context-dependent, and sensitive to the valuation of services. This combination of methodological approaches allowed us to resolve the interactions and indirect effects among species that drive ecosystem functioning, revealing how multiple aspects of biodiversity can simultaneously drive ecosystem functioning. Our results highlight the importance of a multifunctionality perspective for a complete assessment of species’ functional contributions.}, year = {2017} } @MISC{BeetlesReplacingPesticides2024, title = "Birds, beetles, bugs could help replace pesticides: study", year = "2024", url = "https://www.businesstimes.com.sg/lifestyle/birds-beetles-bugs-could-help-replace-pesticides-study", author = "The Business Times", } @MISC{Ecotourism, title = "What is Ecotourism?", year = "2019", url = "https://ecotourism.org/what-is-ecotourism/", author = "{The International Ecotourism Society}", } @MISC{Guevara2024, title = "A Guide to Understanding 5x5 Risk Assessment Matrix", year = "2024", url = "https://safetyculture.com/topics/risk-assessment/5x5-risk-matrix/", author = "Patricia Guevara", } @MISC{Gregoire2023, title = "Stakeholder Mapping When Why and How to Map Stakeholders", year = "2023", url = "https://www.boreal-is.com/blog/stakeholder-mapping-identify-stakeholders/", author = "Patrick Grégoire", } @MISC{scarabe, title = "Scarabaeus sacer insect", year = "2024", url = "https://www.britannica.com/topic/scarab", author = "Kara Rogers", } @MISC{bantamearth, title = "Vivariums: Everything You Need To Know", year = "2023", url = "https://bantam.earth/vivarium/", author = "CJ Abney", } @MISC{nspe, title = "NSPE Code of Ethics for Engineers", year = "2019", url = "https://www.nspe.org/resources/ethics/code-ethics", author = "{National Society of Professional Engineers}", } @MISC{engineeringethics, title = "The ethics of engineering", year = "2019", url = "https://www.rte.ie/brainstorm/2019/1129/1095898-the-ethics-of-engineering/", author = "Diana Adela Martin", } @MISC{salmarkethics, title = "Ethics in Sales and Marketing", year = "2023", url = "https://managementstudyguide.com/ethics-in-sales-marketing.htm", author = "Prachi Juneja", } @ARTICLE{considerations, AUTHOR={Thulin, Carl-Gustaf and Röcklinsberg, Helena}, TITLE={Ethical Considerations for Wildlife Reintroductions and Rewilding}, JOURNAL={Frontiers in Veterinary Science}, VOLUME={7}, YEAR={2020}, URL={https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fvets.2020.00163}, DOI={10.3389/fvets.2020.00163}, ISSN={2297-1769}, ABSTRACT={The recovery of many populations of large carnivores and herbivores in major parts of Europe and North America offers ecosystem services and opportunities for sustainable utilization of wildlife. Examples of services are hunting, meat, and skin, along with less invasive utilization such as ecotourism and wildlife spotting. An increasing number of studies also point out the ecosystem function, landscape engineering, and cascading effects of wildlife as values for human existence, biodiversity conservation, and ecosystem resilience. Within this framework, the concept of rewilding has emerged as a means to add to the wilderness through either supplementary release of wildlife species already present or reintroduction of species formerly present in a certain area. The latter involves translocation of species from other geographical areas, releases from captivity, feralization, retro-breeding, or de-domestication of breeds for which the wild ancestor is extinct. While all these initiatives aim to reverse some of the negative human impacts on life on earth, some pose challenges such as conflicts of interest between humans and wildlife in, for example, forestry, agriculture, traffic, or disease dynamics (e.g., zoonosis). There are also welfare aspects when managing wildlife populations with the purpose to serve humans or act as tools in landscape engineering. These welfare aspects are particularly apparent when it comes to releases of animals handled by humans, either from captivity or translocated from other geographical areas. An ethical values clash is that translocation can involve suffering of the actual individual, while also contributing to reintroduction of species and reestablishment of ecological functions. This paper describes wildlife recovery in Europe and North America and elaborates on ethical considerations raised by the use of wildlife for different purposes, in order to find ways forward that are acceptable to both the animals and humans involved. The reintroduction ethics aspects raised are finally formulated in 10 guidelines suggested for management efforts aimed at translocating wildlife or reestablishing wilderness areas.} } @incollection{liability, author = {Lucy William}, isbn = {9780198700685}, title = "{Legal Liability-Responsibility}", booktitle = "{Philosophy of Private Law}", publisher = {Oxford University Press}, year = {2006}, abstract = "{This chapter discusses the concept of legal liability-responsibility.
