The document discusses traditional understandings of environmental injustice, which focus on disproportionate exposure of poor and minority groups to environmental hazards. It notes that environmental justice movements have demanded environmental equality. However, the document argues that there are missing pieces in traditional environmental justice frameworks, including a broader conception of livability, the role of place attachment and identity in community initiatives, and how political contexts shape neighborhood strategies for environmental revitalization.

Relationships among socioeconomic affluence, yard management, and biodiversityVitor Vieira Vasconcelos
IALE –North AmericaAnnual Meeting, April 12 –16, 2021
Summary: Previous studies propose the luxury effect as a positive relationship between economic affluence and both plant species richness and natural resource usage in residential yards. In this study, a social survey capturing data on yard management, landscaping design, and plant species richness was combined with property appraisal and water usage data for 102 houses across 4 neighborhoods in Gainesville, Florida, United States. The relationships among socioeconomic variables, yard management practices and plant species richness were investigated using non-parametric rank tests, redundancy analysis, cumulative link models, and structural equation modelling. The effect of spatial heterogeneity was controlled and analyzed using nominal and random effects for each neighborhood, and inter-scalar partition of variation. The results show that variables related to socioeconomic affluence are positively correlated to irrigation, lawn fertilization, and leaf raking intensity. However, there is no clear pattern relating property value, a surrogate for socioeconomic affluence, to participant-estimated plant species richness among the survey respondents. The analysis of the survey responses finds homeowners estimate higher biodiversity in their backyards than front yards, a trend that is more prominent among newer houses in the study area and those that do not hire professional maintenance services for their backyards. We can conclude that, in our studied area, economic affluence is positively related to water usage and fertilization and that there may be less chance of reincorporating organic matter from litter in the trophic system due to increased leaf raking intensity. Plant biodiversity, on the other hand, seems to depend more on personal relationships with yards, such as preferences for hands-on gardening activities, or for standardized aesthetic patterns of professionally maintained yards, which opens perspectives for further research at inter and intra-yard spatial scales.

What do we mean by environmental stresses? Things like land use and climate change, which are often controlled by the government.

Initiatives To Address The Health, Sanitation, Water And Infrastructure Need ...paperpublications3
Abstract: Every year 3, 00,000 to 4, 00,000 people migrate to Dhaka and most of the them finally find their places in slum areas where their standard of living is even exacerbated as they live in dilapidated residence with a very limited access to health, water and sanitation. Slums dwellers of Dhaka continuously face hurdles to access safe water and proper sanitation and had an unacceptable level of malnutrition, hygiene and health. In such a backdrop, by reviewing the existing literature the paper attempts to explore the cause behind the ongoing sufferings of the slum dwellers in spite of the past initiatives adopted by the government, private parties and NGOs. The papers finds that in spite of several initiatives taken by the government, NGOs and private parties to address the slum dwellers, desired level of success was not achieved for lack of coordination and evaluation, following top down approach, poor need assessment, and implementation failure.

Dr Su-Ming Khoo, Political Science & Sociology presented this seminar entitled From Constitutionalized Environmental Rights to Contested Sustainable Development and Beyond as part of the 2016 Whitaker Ideas Forum series of seminars representing the Environment, Development, and Sustainability Research Cluster on 25th February 2016.
Communities respond to sustainable development in diverse ways. Using local wisdom and resources and accessing global networks, community members work together to sustain their economic and social wellbeing, and regenerate their natural ecosystems. The Sustainable Dynamics Model captures the processes with which interdependent actors and stakeholders leverage each other’s forces and capabilities to achieve their visions of a sustainable community. This exploratory study that aims to introduce and define the Sustainable Dynamics Model emanated from an observational case study of a sustainable community-based ecotourism project through the Asian Productivity Organization Workshop on Agrotourism Development and Marketing in Bali, Indonesia. Later on, it evolved into interdisciplinary action research seeking to integrate sustainability solutions initiated by various stakeholders to the local community’s vision of a global banjar (community). Focus group discussion and workshops, interviews and case studies propelled the gathering of information on the processes of implementing these solutions from local and international stakeholders. The main lesson that emerged from these local initiatives is that achieving social, economic and ecological balance within the community depends on the dynamics of the actors and stakeholders participating in the collaboration. Developing a sustainable community requires human-level (self) transformation: personal wellness and creative autonomy leading towards the creation of opportunities for social, economic, and environmental transformation.
From AASHE 2017 workshop:
Interpersonal Competences (ICs) are vital for sustainability change agents. Evidence shows that ICs are also highly-prized career skills. A student with strong ICs can productively interact and empathize with collaborators and stakeholders from diverse backgrounds and perspectives. ICs allow students to effectively learn from and teach others across different values and cultures, negotiate conflicts, and facilitate effective community decision-making. Organizational Development consultants and others have designed and used facilitation techniques for interpersonal work in industry, governance and NGOs. However, these techniques are not yet widely implemented in formal education settings, and ICs are rarely explicitly addressed in pedagogy. It is therefore imperative to improve ICs development in higher education.
This session reviews some widely-used strategies and promising innovations to foster ICs. It demonstrates teachable tools for: improving communication framing and story-telling; promoting constructive dialogue and small-group conversations; and facilitating information-sharing, collaboration and decision-making in large groups. Such tools for group process and information sharing can enhance every student’s ICs, promoting student success across all disciplines and career paths. We will consider and practice a selection of strategies synthesized from Organizational Development, to help educators from all disciplines foster ICs in sustainability education.

Urban green space promotes physical activity and public health.
Many US minority communities lack green space access, an environmental injustice.
US and Chinese cities have developed innovative ways to create new green space.
Urban greening can, however, create paradoxical effects such as gentrification.
Urban green space projects need more integrative sustainability policies to protect communities.

Urban green space, such as parks, forests, green roofs, streams, and community gardens, provides crit-
ical ecosystem services. Green space also promotes physical activity, psychological well-being, and the
general public health of urban residents. This paper reviews the Anglo-American literature on urban
green space, especially parks, and compares efforts to green US and Chinese cities. Most studies reveal
that the distribution of such space often disproportionately benefits predominantly White and more
affluent communities. Access to green space is therefore increasingly recognized as an environmental
justice issue. Many US cities have implemented strategies to increase the supply of urban green space,
especially in park-poor neighborhoods. Strategies include greening of remnant urban land and reuse of
obsolete or underutilized transportation infrastructure. Similar strategies are being employed in Chinese
cities where there is more state control of land supply but similar market incentives for urban greening.
In both contexts, however, urban green space strategies may be paradoxical: while the creation of new
green space to address environmental justice problems can make neighborhoods healthier and more
esthetically attractive, it also can increase housing costs and property values. Ultimately, this can lead to
gentrification and a displacement of the very residents the green space strategie.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

• Community initiatives for improved waste collection and composting in Mumbai.
• Challenges to arguments and policies:
• Poor residents are eager to move to wealthier areas
• Need to de-concentrate and disperse poverty
• Need to move residents to neighborhoods with greater “opportunities” and diversity
(Goetz 2003; McClure 2008; Turner 1998)
• Challenges to conventional thinking and media reports about distressed
neighborhoods:
• Do not have the power to organize
• Are not committed to the long-term livability of their place
• Do not unite beyond fights against contamination

37. Place Remaking
!
• [The Forat] was a completely devastated area,
and […] the neighborhood had to swallow all
of this filth and the whole day bearing it. […]. It
was a real degradation, like a bomb attack, !
you know, as if a war had gone through. It was
an infect thing really.” (Joan, Barcelona)
Wednesday, July 4, 2012
38. Place Remaking
• You have a lot of places where there is not
enough play or green space. Children are
playing out in the streets. [...] we really didn't
have any large, multi-purpose facilities, no
large community centers. So we had our whole
campaign about expanding both indoor and
outdoor play spaces, safe havens, where we
can expand the positive opportunities for youth
in the neighborhood.” (Mike Kozu, Boston)
Wednesday, July 4, 2012
39. Place Remaking
• It was about “giving people a place, a
sanctuary, you know, and giving people a
place to go. I think that is related to
environmental justice in a very weird way […].
Why shouldn't everybody have a place to go
where there would be a sense of possibility and
community? There aren't plenty of places that
are nourishing. Nourishment like on a lot of
different levels I think is what I connect with the
environmental just”. (Bing Broderick, Boston)

40. Place Remaking
• [The Callejón de Hamel] is a landmark and
gives legitimacy to the neighborhood. It helps
!
legitimatizing the culture of the neighborhood.
!
[…].It is a pride for the identity of people from
African origins. […]. It also inserts the African
cultures within the society and help the
socialization of culture” (Elias, Havana)

41. Place Remaking
!
• “If in the Forat, you let them lay down
four bricks, then it will be a terrace as
well. It is then a space that you deprive
!
people of. What we really wanted was a
green space, because if you give
concessions and you cede, there ends up
being terraces.” (Paco, local organizer,
Barcelona)
