Groundwater is an important water resource that accounts for 30% of the world’s freshwater. 97% this extracted groundwater drinking and human use. Due to anthropogenic activities, affected and, consequently, its life cycle modified, changing natural state. This paper aims analyse scientific production deals with study groundwater’s Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), using bibliometric methods. Thus, it contributes evolution knowledge in terms use (environmental, economic social). The methodological process includes: (i) selection analysis search topics Scopus Web Science (WoS) databases; (ii) application Bibliometrix Visualisation Similarity Viewer (VOSviewer) software data collected; (iii) structure relation cycle, considering programme lines relations their sub-themes; (iv) literature review Author keywords. A total 780 papers were selected, 306 being from Scopus, 158 WoS 316 published both databases. time analysed (publications) indicates LCA studies have seen exponential growth (between 1983 2021). In addition, has three development periods: introduction (years between 2001), 2002 2011) maturation 2012 At country level (origin contributions authors), USA dominates 24.7%, followed by Denmark 12.8% 10.3% China. Among main associated are those focused on: proposal remediation methods, technologies resources urban community. allows establishing new trends agricultural issues about irrigation efficiency, wastewater reuse, mining treatment, climate change a circular economy scheme related sustainability assessment.

Sustainable development through service learning and community engagement in higher education: a systematic literature review

International Journal of Sustainability in Higher Education, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: unknown

Published: July 10, 2024

Purpose This study aims to delve into the evolution, trends and implications of scientific production related service learning (SL) community engagement for sustainability in higher education institutions (HEIs). Because HEIs play a crucial role achieving sustainable development goals (SDGs), experiential approaches are needed actively involve students development. Design/methodology/approach In total, 869 publications from Web Science Scopus databases were analysed using bibliometric approach that included performance analysis science mapping. Subsequently, systematic literature review was conducted on 118 publications, focusing their contribution SDGs alignment with United Nations Educational Scientific Cultural Organisation’s fields expertise. Findings The findings reveal two significant trends: substantial shift curriculum (2000–2010) (2011–2022), effectiveness teaching approaches, such as integration SL use innovative research methods promoting acquisition competencies. Additionally, community-based research, participatory action capacity emerged primary topics. Research limitations/implications While this is based prominent databases, it may not include studies published other databases. Practical These suggest stakeholders should incorporate activities enhance in, sustainability. Originality/value offers fresh perspective intellectual framework concerning HEIs.

Sustainable Design for Geotourism Interpretation Centres: Enhancing the Santa Elena Peninsula Geopark Project Experience

Heritage, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 7(1), P. 499 - 516

Published: Jan. 20, 2024

Geosites represent important elements of geoheritage for promoting geotourism sustainable practices aimed at education and conservation. The Santa Elena Peninsula Geopark Project has several locations with geological, cultural historical richness the potential geosites tourist development. However, these places lack infrastructures that improves reception local geoeducation. In this study, Geotourism Interpretation Centres (GICs) were designed using architectural criteria to improve geoeducation in Project. work included two stages: (i) selection (ii) design GICs. Four selected design: Barrio Ingles Ancon Parish, Manglaralto’s Coastal Aquifer, San Vicente Hot Springs, Rafael Mines. A GIC adaptable four sites is proposed based on three zones: recreational–passive, services cultural. prioritises sustainability, considering criteria: political–economic, social, environmental. proposal takes advantage area’s natural materials climatic conditions offer a space experience mimicry environment, roots community benefit.

Georesources comprise spaces of relevant geological value with the potential to be used and managed as a resource. Therefore, georesources are an essential development factor in world, mainly oriented their rational use improve quality life surrounding population. This work aims analyze main applications, conservation strategies sustainable rural area Manglaralto (Ecuador) through inventory, assessment analysis for adaptation alternative uses particular circumstances (e.g., COVID-19 pandemic). The method consists four phases: (i) inventory mapping georesources; (ii) description using international methodologies GtRAM georoute assessment, hydrogeological characterization GeoModeller groundwater GIS tools assessing materials industrial–artisanal interest, KFM matrix level construction difficulty sanitary landfills); (iii) complementary applications (iv) SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) TOWS preparation (Threats, Strengths), seeking guarantee viability georesources. As result investigation, geolocation was obtained. In addition, such geosites sites interest beaches, cliffs, waterfalls, capes), (aquifers), artisanal industrial clays, sands).
