It is predicted that the integration of climate-based early warning systems into existing action plans will facilitate the timely provision of interventions to diarrheal disease epidemics in resource-poor settings. Diarrhea remains a considerable public health problem in Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC), Vietnam and we aimed to quantify variation in the impact of environmental conditions on diarrheal disease risk across the city. Using all inpatient diarrheal admissions data from three large hospitals within HCMC, we developed a mixed effects regression model to differentiate district-level variation in risk due to environmental conditions from the overarching seasonality of diarrheal disease hospitalization in HCMC. We identified considerable spatial heterogeneity in the risk of all-cause diarrhea across districts of HCMC with low elevation and differential responses to flooding, air temperature, and humidity driving further spatial heterogeneity in diarrheal disease risk. The incorporation of these results into predictive forecasting algorithms will provide a powerful resource to aid diarrheal disease prevention and control practices in HCMC and other similar settings.
The main aim of this chapter was to elaborate on the concept of spatial planning in the context of sustainable development and its applicability in Ukraine. Furthermore, in the chapter the problem of regional planning is reviewed with reference to the modern sustainable development concept. Based on the results of the conducted analysis, the author suggested main directions for the reformation of regional planning in Ukraine in the context of implementing main European methods for ecologisation of regional development strategies.
The purpose of the presented research is to explore the perspectives of applying the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) standard in Ukraine. The study had the following objectives: investigate the evolution of the ‘Corporate Social Responsibility’ and ‘Corporate Social Accountability’ theories; discuss the main objectives and functions of sustainability reporting; investigate the rationale of standards for sustainability reporting; analyse the experience of Ukrainian industrial enterprises in using the GRI standard.
This volume explores the approaches and tools for transition to sustainable development in the industrial sphere under the conditions of transitional economy. The authors of its chapters study the potential of voluntary sustainability standards and the main international initiatives supporting their implementation in transitional economies, discuss the issues of providing for sustainability through the state and legal regulation and the instruments of spatial planning, analyse the special aspects of marketing aiding the objectives of sustainable development. A special attention in this volume is given to the problem of implementing ideas of sustainable development into the university curricula and study programmes.
This monograph was prepared with support of the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit – GIZ in the framework of international project “Establishment of the International University Network ECO-Campus for Greening of the University Curricula”, which was launched on initiative of the International University Forum held on 28-29 November 2013 in Dnepropetrovsk (Ukraine).

Cultural heritage still suffers from the lack of a specific and systematic risk assessment process despite emerging recent investigations on protection of such outstanding properties from natural hazards. Vulnerable attributes of heritage sites are conveying irreplaceable values that make it much more complicated to identify and analyse potential disaster losses to those elements. This paper aims to develop a methodology of disaster risk assessment specified to cultural heritage sites in an interdisciplinary framework. The existing methods and approaches of risk assessment as well as relevant global practices are applied to fulfil the aim.

Criteria and Requirements for the Implementation of Sustainable Development Policy in Ukraine
(2005)
Implementation of sustainable development principles primarily involves stating appropriate criteria and requirements for reformation of the development management. The main groups of sustainable development indicators (social indicators, economic indicators, environmental indicators, institutional indicators, structural indicators) are formulated. In the view of objectives set for economic and social reforms in Ukraine, there is a need in further specification of these indicator groups, their legislative support with the purpose of organising monitoring of efficiency of state policies and programmes.
This book represents the collected works of Environmental and Resource Management (ERM) Alumni as well as young professionals and researches who are involved in the field of ERM. The connecting theme of these works is the successful implementation of ERM in a wide range of issues including: energy innovation and management, climate change response and sustainable development aspects of resource management in developing countries. This book aims to expose some of the research outputs of ERM Alumni and present perspectives and critical questions of ERM application. The research results can provide empirical bases on which ERM study programmes and/or working environments can be problematised in order to more effectively meet the objectives of ERM. The intended audience of this volume is wide including potential and current ERM students who want to understand how ERM is being applied; and teachers and researchers who want to understand the roles and interactions of ERM Alumni and their workplace.
The administrative reforms conducted in Ukraine include transformation of regional administration. Aims, objectives and methods of Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) are accordant with conducted administrative reforms. At present all plans, programmes and policies developed in Ukraine, which can have significant impact on environment are subject to SEA. The main reasons, which determine necessity of implementing SEA into procedures of regional planning, are investigated in this paper.
Emerging to the forefront of sustainable production and consumption are a promising and rapidly evolving concept known as Voluntary Standard Systems (VSS). They encompass the three pillars of sustainability – social, environmental and economic aspects, and consequently they can be considered as a tool, which makes sustainable development visible. Currently, they are becoming a significant element in international trade and in the promotion of sustainable development strategies, especially in the context of globalised markets and supply chains.
This volume provides a comprehensive overview of the current VSS concepts: from their nature and functioning, to the future outlook for their development. It places VSS in the broader context of global development issues and challenges, including development policy and international sustainability commitments, progress towards achieving ‘green economy’, and meeting climate protection targets. The volume contains also a representative selection of case studies which demonstrate their wide range of application in different sectors of the economy.
