Operationalizing sustainable development in a technology choice context: moving from theory to practice 在技术选择背景下实施可持续发展:从理论到实践

Although very rich, the phrase \"sustainable development\" does not provide a robust and practical (i.e., operational) \"knowledge tool\" to help us understand and apply the concept. This paper presents such a \"knowledge tool\" via a multi-attribute decision model that can be used to analyze technology choice decisions within a sustainable development context. The paper illustrates the usefulness of such an approach through an example in energy policy. The results of this analysis indicate that while operationalizing sustainability concepts for technology choice decisions is difficult, valuable lessons are learned that can be applied to a number of other decision problems in the areas of government policy and business operations. Using such a \"knowledge tool\" can both improve our understanding of sustainability and the elements needed for its realization.","PeriodicalId":283614,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings 1995 Interdisciplinary Conference: Knowledge Tools for a Sustainable Civilization.

The explanation of this paradox of increasing prosperity and increasing danger lies in understanding that our knowledge tools create both service and disservice. While they are the means by which we created the great wealth and well being that we enjoy their misuse endangers human survival. The author considers a solution to the dilemma, involving the co-ordination of the use of knowledge tools especially those of computing and telecommunications.","PeriodicalId":283614,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings 1995 Interdisciplinary Conference: Knowledge Tools for a Sustainable Civilization.

Why is the planet vandalized by diverse ecological degradations? In this simplified overview even small scale resource depletions are included to have a significant impact on primitive cultures, impelling migration, violent conflict and cultural extinction. Environmental protection to preserve and sustain dwindling resources has emerged as a modern concern. To discern an underlying dynamic for such an ideational and ecological entropy suggests the development of a model as a synthesis and meta-analytic approach (once envisaged as a vital cybernetic objective).","PeriodicalId":283614,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings 1995 Interdisciplinary Conference: Knowledge Tools for a Sustainable Civilization.

In the paper the relations are examined between energy and sustainable development, and between energy efficiency and environmental impact. The theoretical and practical limitations on increased energy efficiency are discussed, particularly as they relate to sustainable development. A case study is described, in which the benefits achievable through the cogeneration of electricity and heat are considered for Ontario. It is demonstrated that energy resources and their utilization are intimately related to sustainable development. It is further demonstrated that, for societies to attain or try to attain sustainable development, much effort must be devoted not only to discovering sustainable energy resources, but also to increasing the energy efficiencies of processes utilizing these resources.","PeriodicalId":283614,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings 1995 Interdisciplinary Conference: Knowledge Tools for a Sustainable Civilization.

I chose this approach because it stands, in a way, at an opposite pole of a paradigmatic spectrum in relation to the systemic approach.","PeriodicalId":283614,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings 1995 Interdisciplinary Conference: Knowledge Tools for a Sustainable Civilization.

While the Earth process has experienced both periods of stability and periods of transition the overall process has been one of growing creativity and complexification. The emergence of human consciousness and reflective thought offered a unique mode of planetary self-awareness and self-expression. Can the planet successfully integrate the consciousness to which it has given birth? Can it survive the emergence of human thinking and incorporate it into its ongoing creativity? I explore the human presence and human activity as a subset of the more comprehensive activity of the biosphere. I consider both the risks and benefits of human cognition in the short and longer term. The stability of the biosphere which is ensured by the unconscious efforts of millions of species provides a platform on which or in which the human species can explore its creative potentialities.","PeriodicalId":283614,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings 1995 Interdisciplinary Conference: Knowledge Tools for a Sustainable Civilization.

This paper extends the metaphor to encompass a vision of a sustained electronic (virtual) workspace as an integral part of future society, and focuses on its use as a venue for group social process in civil society's pursuit of a sustainable niche for the human species. This virtual workspace provides a venue for asynchronous social process across time and space, with an impact just as real as that of activity in the literal world. As such it will play an important role in our ability to fashion a civilization which is sustainable.","PeriodicalId":283614,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings 1995 Interdisciplinary Conference: Knowledge Tools for a Sustainable Civilization.

This implies finding out how to alter attitudes and predilections so as to promote symbioses between nature and cultures, and also to promote symbioses among our various cultures (linguistic, religious, ethnic etc.). It is posited here that by enabling persons to find and exhibit pathological and paradoxical aspects of public communications for each other, that a better understanding of needed changes, and commitment to making them can be cultivated. The multiple-perspective approach taken is partly a modern extension of Karl Kraus' (1974) collage technique whereby he juxtaposed published statements in order to exhibit the falseness and folly of those statements and the hidden vested interests behind them, and partly some practical ways to add graffiti to mass media messages. Our global concern is to do something using philosophical and cyber-systemic insights and computer-communication tools to mitigate the wanton destruction of the non-renewable variety of living and cultural forms of our planet.","PeriodicalId":283614,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings 1995 Interdisciplinary Conference: Knowledge Tools for a Sustainable Civilization.
