Sustainable Land Development In An Urban Context

Abstract

It can be argued that sustainable urban land development depends on the long-term viability and management success of local economic development. It can be further argued that here, economic sustainability is the key. This would furthermore signify a paradigm change to long-term administrative behavior (via an institutional approach), long-term market behavior (heterodox economics approach), and human behavior in actors' consumption and location choices (behavioral approach). This article examines two criteria within this discourse: innovativeness and social cohesion. In doing so, it proposes a framework for empirical analysis where it is suggested that western, postsocialist and low developed cases choose different strategies due to their different starting points.

Understanding of Public–Private Partnership Stakeholders as a Condition of Sustainable Development

“…It is people (human resource) with their knowledge (attribute of social resource) who are responsible for improving the usage of all resources including themselves, creating human and social capital. Sustainable development should then focus on wise and improved usage of the resources [7,26] which can be interpreted as a smart sustainable development [6,48] confirming synergies of the sustainability [49,50]. "Smart" relates (among others) to people (social and human resources) and governance (participation) [45].…”

“…We also assume that stakeholder analysis requires a new approach because of the characteristics of PPP projects. Finally, referring to Kauko, Siniak, and Źróbek [7] we assume that sustainable investment management is more important than government regulations on sustainability as a sustainable investment is a tool for sustainable city development. Figure 1 presents the research questions (RQ), the aim, and the structure.…”

“…We identified the research gap relating stakeholder analysis in PPP projects in the sustainability context. There is a limited number of research works concerning interdisciplinary debates about the concepts of sustainable urban development [7,8]. The issue of stakeholders engagement in PPP projects is also a rare subject of research [9][10][11][12].…”

Exclusion of lands from agricultural production and urban pressure – case study

“…The environmental protection is based on many premises, among other things on principles of sustainable development [Kauko et al 2015], and on the economic aspect of space as a good of a specific value, generating income and incurring costs related to its protection [Wańkowicz 2010, Antczak-Stępniak 2015. The limitation of space intensifies competitions for it and causes investment pressure, especially in case of lands located in near vicinity of developing rural centres [Domański 2013, Jakóbczyk-Gryszkiewicz 1998, Lisowski 2006.…”

Different Management Functions in Housing Operation Practice: Ukrainian Case Study

“…Despite the authors offering useful improvements of funding models, housing price reduction mechanisms and assistance to certain categories of the population, the fundamental issue of satisfying the housing needs of all citizens was never articulated properly and remains unsolved. In the era of smart sustainable development and PropTech (European Commission, 2010, Territorial Agenda 2020UNIDO, 2016;Kauko, 2015), companies are interested in solutions that allow their processes, machines, employees, and even the products and services themselves, to be integrated, and this problem in the residential housing sector has various solutions depending on the level of communization and the of housing to be provided to the citizens. Therefore, the experience of countries where the majority of population are capable of self-provision with private housing of relatively high standards, such as the USA and EU countries, cannot serve as an example for the poorest countries, such as Ukraine and others, where even a much lower level of housing provision is unachievable for the majority of households, possibly necessitating the significant communization of housing possession and redistribution of costs for its upkeep.…”
