Managing the Project Environment

  Project Environment

Today's technological disciplines responsible for new facility and infrastructural projects are now

becoming seriously attuned to the idea of concern for the physical environment. Certainly, the project

managers of such projects need to be similarly aware of these concerns and manage their projects

accordingly. This applies to both the project's long term impacts arising out of the project's conceptualformulation, as well as its shorter term construction impacts arising during execution.

ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT OF URBAN CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS IN CHINA 

Pollution and hazards caused by urban civil construction projects have become a serious problem in China. Sources of pollution and hazards from construction sites include dust, harmful gases,

noises, blazing lights, solid and liquid wastes, ground movements, messy sites, fallen items, etc.

These types of pollution and hazards can not only annoy residents nearby, but also affect the

health and well-being of people in the entire city. For example, in big cities such as Shanghai

and Beijing, air quality has been deteriorating due to extensive urban redevelopment activities

ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT AND EDUCATION AT THE UNIVERSITY OF CORDOBA

Universities are increasingly aware of the environmental consequences arising from their research, teaching and administration activities. Like any other organization, a
university uses a range of resources (energy, fuel, water, materials, etc.) necessary for theimplementation of these activities. These activities generate, in turn, a large amount of waste products in the form of discharges, air emissions or waste. Likewise, transport used by the university community represents another important environmental aspect to take into account as for fuel consumption, gas and noise emission and associated waste generation.
The universities also are aware of their responsibility as Higher Education Institutions
to transmit and extend environmental knowledge and values at a personal, social and
professional level. If a framework of study that integrates environmental considerations is
created, students will be more permeable and receptive to acquire environmental friendly
values and habits and will be prepared to incorporate this responsible attitude in their future
jobs. Therefore, the environmental protection in the university has two values: management
and education.
