Promotion of sustainable agricultural practices (SAPs) is indispensable, either the need of increasing productivity, or more sustainable agriculture. A precondition for ensuring and buttressing the sustainable agriculture and rural development is the design and implementation of appropriate and well- targeted policies that take into account the interactions between macro-economic, agricultural and other sectoral policy concerns at national and regional level. An Agricultural Knowledge and Information system for Rural Development (AKIS for RD), links people and institutions to promote mutual learning and generate, share, and utilize agriculture-related technology, knowledge, and information. Most AKIS projects support agricultural research, extension, or education activities, which are increasingly viewed as components of an inter-related system. An AKIS should incorporates current and potential elements and resources economically, socially and environmentally in the context of Sustainable Agricultural Knowledge and Information System (SAKIS). Therefore, the goal of this study, was the investigation of different agricultural knowledge and information systems based on comparative concepts, structures, and functions for extracting and delineating appropriate framework for SAKIS. AKIS in Kenya, Hagaz (Eritrea), Israel and Netherlands has been addressed. AKIS in Kenya, because of links between external institutions and organizations, for both government organizations and NGOs, were generally weak and poorly coordinated (Low Networking), as a developing country has been selected. The AKIS in Hagaz (Eritrea), because of one study supported by Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and DANIDA, to addressing AKIS, has been selected. And at last, AKIS in Israel and Netherlands, because of structural and functional comparisons, has been selected. Results indicated that, much of the success

Issues of sustainable development have been suggested as a way to contextualize chemistry learning for relevant chemistry education. Over the last 25 years, chemistry educators in Israel developed and researched learning materials for high school chemistry studies, incorporating inquiry-type socio-scientific issues from chemical industry and green chemistry. The goal was to educate for sustainable development and environmental awareness using science inquiry learning (e.g., asking questions, hypothesizing, drawing conclusions, and argumentation). These learning materials were developed both for students and for teachers, integrating chemistry with environment, health, economic and societal aspects. They include high school chemistry textbooks and booklets for learning modules such as “The Water and Us”, which were developed together with teachers and doctoral students. Each module was implemented according to three stages: starting with a socio-scientific issue, continuing with an inquiry-type approach, and ending with a societal discussion. Based on the reflections of students and teachers, we may conclude that these learning materials motivate and promote chemistry learning as well as sustainable educational skills. In addition, they learned how complex such evaluations are and how many dimensions need to be taken into consideration before an overall decision can be made.

By looking at the technological advancement and climate change mitigation plan of the advanced economies, the current study examines the role of sustainable development aspects such as innovations, high technology export, labor productivity, capital stock, research and development (R&D), information and communication technology (ICT), capital stock, and energy use in mitigating environmental degradation for the selected panel of countries with the most investment in technology (China, Denmark, Finland, France, Israel, Korea, Hong Kong, Germany, Japan, Netherlands, Singapore, Sweden, United Kingdom, and United States) over the period 2000-2018. Foremost, the pooled ordinary least square (POLS) and random-effects (RE) generalized least squares (GLS) approaches provided additional interesting inferences. As such, the POLS result revealed that only capital stock in the panel countries shows a desirable environmental effect. At the same time, labor productivity, innovation, R&D, ICT, and energy further hamper ecological quality in the examined panel countries. Similarly, the GLS result largely affirms the POLS results, with only the capital stock among the explanatory variables showing evidence of emission mitigation effect in the panel. Additionally, the panel Granger causality result illustrates evidence of unidirectional causality only innovation, ICT, and capital stock to environmental degradation.

This paper investigates the two-way association between economic performance and quality of discretionary disclosure of sustainable environmental practices. The study focuses on seven Asian countries, namely, India, Japan, China, South Korea, Malaysia, Indonesia and Israel. The result of primary research design suggests that economic performance and discretionary environmental disclosure quality are not simultaneously related and thus are not endogenous. Accepting this primary outcome, the OLS reveals sustainable environmental practices and the discretionary disclosures of the same has negative or very low positive as well as insignificant association with the economic performance of the firm. On the other hand, the investigation on the dependence of discretionary environmental disclosure on the economic performance reports mixed results with no clear trend. Interestingly, the study shows that the companies that belong to environmentally sensitive industries tend to disclose less objective information leading to lower quality disclosures. Similar to this, companies that belong to countries having high relative emissions also show a less informative and low quality of disclosure.

Salinity is one of the major problems that the coastal region of Bangladesh has been facing over the last couple of decades. Due to sea level rise, frequent natural disasters, changes of climate patterns and man-made alteration of natural settings, the situation is becoming more vulnerable day by day. It has also been observed that both natural and man-made changes can alter the patterns of poor peoples' lives and livelihoods. Faulty development policies and economic interest of the rich, such as promoting shrimp farming in a saline-prone zone, could make the environmental settings more vulnerable. The future of the coastal communities of Bangladesh depends on the sustainable development and disaster management policies of the government; and efficient and 'techno-natural' use of water could generate lifeblood for its coastal economy. The new hydrological development in the West, especially in the USA, Israel and Spain, brings new inspiration on water desalination venture. The purpose of this research work is to study the reasons for water salinity in the Sundarbans region of Bangladesh and examine the prospect as well as drawbacks of desalination venture in the context of Bangladesh's current development policy.

Trade and investment have positive effects on economic growth and development, especially for developing countries, where trade openness could play a crucial role to eliminate poverty. But in the same way trade and investment can also harm the environment by producing GHG, pollutions and other environmental negative externalities. Since economic development, trade and environment are elaborately interconnected, it is indispensable to amalgamate environmentally affiliated issues on the development agenda. With expansion of economic activities and trade on the one hand and consequent threats to the environment on the other, the question of environment-friendly trade has emerged as a serious policy agenda in recent years. In that context, trade in climate smart goods (CSGs) is assumed to play a significant role in promoting sustainable development pathway. Given that China’s global trade is expanding at an unprecedented scale, the present paper is designed to analyze the trends and trading patterns of China’s trade in CSGs with the rest of the world. Based on the collected data covering the period of 1992 to 2016 from UN Comtrade, the analyses indicate that total trade in CSGs by China has been increasing, but its share in total trade volume is still very low. It is understood that China’s exports and imports of CSGs are dominated by a few products, namely photosensitive semiconductor devices (854,140), static converters (850,440), articles of plastic and arts of other material (392,690), photovoltaic system controller (853,710), discharge lamps, fluorescent (853,931), parts of electric motors, generators, generating sets and rotary converters (850,300), machine and mechanical appliance (847,989), other lead-acid accumulators (850,720), prism, mirrors and other optical elements unmounted (900,190), cooking appliances and plate warmers (732,111), gears and gearing, other than toothed wheels (848,340), other machinery, plant and equipment (841,989), filtering or purifying machinery and apparatus for gases (842,139), etc. While the major trading partners of China for CSGs are the USA, Japan, India, Malaysia, Germany, Korea Republic, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, the Netherlands, Hong Kong, Russia, Brazil, Australia, Pakistan, Israel, among others.

Industrial zones are the main source of soil pollution in Israel. Due to the upcoming approval of the bill on soil contamination and remediation in Israel, it is important to assess the economic feasibility of soil remediation. This study examines the economic feasibility of an extensive remediation project of all contaminated industrial zones in Israel. The estimated economic benefits include both direct benefits, resulting from the increase in the land value of the contaminated site, and indirect benefits, arising from the increase in nearby property values. A cost‐benefit analysis showed a cost benefit ratio of 1:14. Nonetheless, the direct benefits were found to be lower than the costs. Thus, the question of funding requires collaboration between government and the private sector.

Study level/applicability MBA/MS/Executive Training. Subject area Business and society; sustainability; women business leaders. Case overview This case is about the development of sustainable viticulture in Israel. Michal Akerman, a viticulturist and agronomist, implemented out-of-the box ideas at Tabor Winery, Israel, and was successful in developing organic and sustainable vineyard. However, she faced challenges in terms of improving the quality of grapes as she looked forward to growing some of the best quality French grapes in Israel in the challenging conditions of the Negev desert region. Expected learning outcomes The expected learning outcomes are: to analyze the environmental impact of viticulture and sustainable viticulture through Tabor’s example, to examine how leaders can drive businesses to be involved in sustainable practices and challenges involved in implementing sustainable practices and to develop a framework for female leaders working in male-dominated business environments. Social implications This case captures Michal Akerman’s (Michal) endeavours to develop organic and sustainable viticulture at Israel-based Tabor Winery. The traditional practices followed to grow the vineyards were proving adverse to the biodiversity. Unsustainable practices wiped out rare plants, and micro-organisms, which were essential for cultivation of grapes. The imbalance and unnatural ecosystem ultimately posed a threat to the very sustenance of the vineyards.

The scope for environmental analysis constitutes a critical factor in recent times, yet demanding importance due to the concerns of environmental sustainability. The study aims at analysing the prospects of implementing an integrated GIS and spatial configuration for environment analysis in Israel. The study adopts an empirical study design to consider the multi-dimensional utilisation of an integrated GIS and spatial configuration for environment analysis. The study considers the materials and methods of the GIS system modelling as well, consisting of satellite imagery, GPS-based location identification, Esri ArcGIS, CyberGIS, and BIM integration to present a comprehensive system for the environmental analysis of Israel. The results of the study indicate that the threats of natural disasters and climate change can be identified based on the synergy of spatial data within an integrated GIS modelling. In many cases, it is also used in collaboration with a BIM to ensure that planning and decision-making processes are sustainable, economically beneficial and environmentally considered. Thus, it is concluded that environmental analysis through the projection of visually represented satellite imagery within an integrated GIS with spatial configurations in Israel can minimise the conflicts between the infrastructural designs, human activities, and environmental sustainability.

Sustainable use of coastal ecosystems in the case studies of some partner countries of SECOA project, including Belgium, India, Israel, Portugal and Vietnam was assessed through sustainability indicator analysis and index calculation. The outcomes were shown quantitatively with values of sustainability indices of the coastal ecosystem at time points within assessed periods. Based on these outcomes, three tendencies were evident, including: the declination from sustainable use to unsustainable use, event to very unsustainable use shown in the case studies of India, Israel and Vietnam, the maintenance of sustainable use presented in the case studies of Portugal, and the unclear tendency occurred in the case studies of Belgium.

This article presents the synthesis of research activities on the evaluation methodology of the financial system, including its components through the lens of the objective of ensuring sustainable economic growth. The objectives pursued in the evaluation process, the system of indicators and the necessary arguments are formulated. The authors evaluate the financial system in Israel and the Republic of Moldova, including whether its are market-oriented and sufficiently open, efficient and solid; if high standards of transparency, trust and integrity are met. Next, the relationship between the financial system and economic growth in a small open economy of Israel and the Republic of Moldova is empirically examined. The analysis is carried out using two indicators to measure the level of financial development. The first indicator is the financial depth or size of the financial intermediaries sector, measured by the monetization ratio (M2/GDP). The second indicator is the ratio of credit granted to the private sector by commercial banks as a percentage of GDP (financial intermediation ratio).

In recent years 'sustainability' has become an important issue in policy discussion and decision making, especially with regard to transportation. Here the role of 'sustainability' and the forms of its incorporation into transportation policy is surveyed and compared for Israel, the Netherlands and the UK. In particular, comparisons are made and discussed across these countries based on several factors, including existence of plans (strategic and integrative), specific objectives and targets, institutional arrangements, environmental impact assessment processes, implementation tools, and political and public commitment and involvement. The comparisons highlight two major tenets of the Israeli system that present obstacles to the establishment of transportation and environmental linkages. The first involves the lack of transparency in the planning process and the corresponding dearth of political and public participation, consensus and commitment to plans. The second is the existing institutional structure. (A)

Since NAFTA’s implementation, the United States has entered into several regional and bilateral free-trade agreements (see Table 7.1). Prior to NAFTA the US had only negotiated two bilateral agreements, those with Israel and Canada; the latter agreement was superseded by NAFTA. Neither of those had significant environmental provisions, although both the US-Israel and Canada-US (CUSTA) agreements incorporated Article XX of GATT. Bailey (1992–93) claims that dissatisfaction with the environmental results of CUSTA resulted in pressure to include environmental provisions in NAFTA. He says that after two years of experience some reports indicated that the agreement “resulted in a general undermining of safety standards, sustainable development, and environmental protection” (p. 849). Thus, environmental measures were incorporated in NAFTA upon its completion during the Clinton administration and they have been included in all subsequent US agreements, although their nature and extent vary considerably from one agreement to another.

The rational utilization of groundwater reserves is essential for our future existence. Our project is supported by the Committee on Science for Peace and Security (SPS) as a Pilot Study on the development of a transboundary water quality monitoring and assessment program between Belarus, Poland, and Ukraine with strong support from the USA and Israel. It is an important initiative of cooperation on monitoring, contamina‑tion migration and water management issues between central and eastern European countries. It is a part of the process of setting up a new strategy for mainstream shared groundwater resources, to reduce the possibility of conflicts and develop a sustainable system of regional stability. Developing this project is part of an integration process of Belarus and Ukraine into European water management system and cooperation between EU and neighborhood eastern countries which would guarantee development and stability in this part of Europe.

The escape from divine revelation since the Enlightenment has been paralleled by a rise in the worship of science and technology, promoted by the material success of the Industrial Revolution, which in some countries bred for a short time central economic planning, which eventually withered away. As the flight gathered speed, there has been a revival of the ancient cult of species worship, in which the unintended consequences of materialism finally cause an awareness that the existence of the human species is under threat. Sustainable development is in this light the contemporary political and eschatological question for everyone. Central to the question of sustainable development is not only science and technology which, by itself, produces only summary statements on how physical entities are related. It does not provide methods of how human inputs are to be used in conjunction with these physical entities by appropriately applying the results of technology in generating outputs. It also does not address issues on how the outputs of the combination of technology and human resources ought to be valued. Last, it does not address how existing technologies can be combined, further modified, and developed into an institutional environment for continuous experiments and improvements. (Lai and Lome, 2003, vii) Hundreds of papers and books have been written on sustainable development and planning, but few have focused on the significance of institutions. The papers collected in this special issue reflect on the question of institutions in the promotion of planning for sustainable development from a number of value positions. While the theoretical perspectives and emphasis of the authors are different, there are many similarities. First, they share the view that the question of institutional arrangements cannot be ignored in a meaningful inquiry into sustainability. second, real life examples are used to demonstrate the arguments involved. These examples are those from such countries as the UK, Demark, USA, Canada, and Israel. Third, the concept of transaction costs underpins four out of the five papers, reflecting a growing influence of neo-institutional economics informed by the ideas of Ronald H. Coase in planning theory. Fourth, there is no dispute that consensus and mutual agreement is significant in shaping solutions that are sustainable. To the faithful, this consideration is but one step next to the concept of a covenant between God and man forgotten in contemporary articulation of private property. With reference to three examples, namely military base closures in the US Congress, Amsterdam metropolitan-regional governance, and the national statutory planning system in Israel, the work of Alexander seeks to offer a typology of institutional design normatively understood as being involved in all intentional institutional transformations, both innovative and evolutionary. …

In the previous century, the Bedouins a nomadic people who migrated all over the Arab peninsula with their herds began to settle in villages, one of their settlement areas is the Negev highlands. While the younger generation searches for similar occupations as the surrounding urbanized Israelis, the adult ones in many cases sustain their traditional farming practices. In many cases these practices are not profitable and not sustainable, nevertheless, these practices are based on long-term experience in arid terms. Until recently the municipalities did not invest money and efforts to collect this knowledge and render it a sustainable and profitable one. A mission that became crucial not only due to the adults aging and the risk that this knowledge will be lost but due to the rapid transition of un-arid regions into arid or desertified ones worldwide that requires suitable farming practices. Hereby the scheme of acquiring this knowledge from the Bedouin farmers, designing sustainable and profitable solutions, managing the cultivated lands, and analyzing with them the outcome will be described together with samples from the Negev highlands. This chapter will focus on water catchment construction, which became a crucial requirement for sustainable agriculture due to the increased intensity of the rainfall event worldwide.

Water resources shortage is always being abottle-neckin the process of sustainable development of economy,society and ecological aspect in arid areas of northwest China. It will be significant and important in accelerating the process of urbanization and sustainable use of water resources by quantificational analyzing the interaction,coupling mechanism and evolution rule between water resources system and urbanization system. Taking Shiyang River basin,Gansu Province,China,a typical arid inland river basin as the research object including the two major administrative districts:Jinchang City and Wuwei City as an example here. The concept and calculation model of coupling about water resource-urbanization compound system are put forward according to the Grey Correlation Degree,Water Resources Constraint Intensity,and the Gap between actual development level and high quality development. In addition,the evaluation index of coupling degree and the grading standard of each evaluation factors are established. The model is characterized with high practicability and maneuverability as well as clear index significance. According to the result,the water resources carrying capacity of Wuwei and Jinchang cities in Shiyang River Basin is being in a quasi-overloading state,which varied between 0.22-0.26 from 2001 and 2010 and declined year by year. The urbanization process and water carrying capacity are in a primary association with an average annual growth rate of Grey Correlation Degree of-4.28% and-3.53%,respectively. The coupling degree between water resources and urbanization compound system was greater than 0.6,belonging to extreme restraint and the restraint degrees showed a slightly declining trend when the restraint degree was less than 0.6. It slightly increases from recession phase to the primary coordination phase with an average annual growth rate of 2.01% and 0.96%,respectively. Due to the serious problems such as serious water resources shortage,irrational water utilization structure,higher degree of the water development and inefficient use of the water resource,the decoupling degrees between the water resources-urbanization compound system ranged from primary coupling state to antagonistic state,thus water resources constitute a very strong constraint on the city development in the study area. By comparing the present status and utilization of water resources of the study area with the Middle East country Israel with drought climate and severe water scarcity,it is considered that the water resources carrying capacity in Shiyang River Basin still has an exploitation potential. The advanced water-saving technique and management experience of Israel are advocated and put forward in the paper in order to adopt them to the arid areas in northwest China.

Abstract : This thesis seeks to trace the origins and initial Republic of Korea (ROK) strategy in space policy and to analyze the prospects and challenges of building effective and sustainable civil, commercial, and military space capabilities. To better understand the factors involved in developing a sustainable ROK space program, two sets of comparative case studies, both internal and external cases, are examined. The internal case studies consist of the ROK automobile and semiconductor industries, and the external case studies are of Israels and Australias space programs. The ROK space program exhibits considerable differences from the internal and external case studies in terms of policy direction, R and D investment, and human resources. Based on these findings, this thesis derives several conclusions. In order to take a path toward a sustainable space program, the ROK should redefine national needs and aspirations for its space activities; plan to expand private investment, especially in space R and D; invest in the space sector with a long-term vision; and continue to strengthen ties with international partners, especially its main ally, the United States.

In this article, the authors analyze the laws and policies of China and Israel regarding inventions in the agricultural sector, as well as the situation of sustainable agricultural development in Vietnam. Based on that, suggestions for Vietnam's experience in the process of perfecting legal regulations, the process of establishing intellectual property rights for inventions and setting forth policies for technology development in the agricultural sector are proposed. The Covid-19 pandemic has had a negative impact on all aspects of socio-economic life. In that context, the agricultural sector has had solutions to tackle and affirmed its role as the "supporting platform" of Vietnam's economy, as well as ensures jobs and social welfare for the working force. Sustainable agricultural development is an essential goal for Vietnam, in which it is necessary to quickly apply science and technology to the agricultural production process. In order to do this, the very important role of invention cannot be ignored. Indeed, countries in the world with developed agriculture have applied technologies to the production process to resolve natural problems such as drought, saltwater intrusion, as well as post-harvest technologies to increase productivity and value of agricultural products in a sustainable way. Therefore, completing changes in the procedures for establishing intellectual property rights for inventions and policies to encourage the development of inventions in agriculture will help Vietnam actualize the sustainable agricultural development.

In western developed countries of America,Europe and so on,the development of family farm has greatly promoted the agricultural scale and professional management. The common experience of the family farm of the developed countries is effective land system,complete agricultural socialization service system,professional production and management,and high quality professional talents. The United States and Canada have rich agricultural resources and their family farms have the features such as big scale and regional specialization. France has common agricultural resources, her family farm development mainly depends on appropriate business management system, specialization production and governmental support. Denmark and Israel are short of agricultural resources and their family farm development chiefly relies on big support from their government policy and scientific and technological innovation and development. Under the new normality of economic development,China should increase policy support for agriculture, deepen rural land system reform, set up and perfect agricultural socialization service system,accelerate cultivation of modern agricultural talents with high quality,manage agriculture with appropriate scale and with specialized and ecological development in order to boost sustainable development of China's family farms.

Sustainability has been one of the mainly spoken and most emphasised topics among the global political elites as it ensures the sustenance of the future generations be it clean air, fresh water or food sustainability. The steps taken towards sustenance now will be for the greater good of the future of mankind. Sustenance in itself is the ability of a producing factor to be able to use and re-use. Water management has been handled in Israel in an efficient and constructive way which can be followed by world countries for a water sustainable future. The environmentalists consider this to be a marvel of our times. Atmospheric pollution has been one of the main concerns of this era where industrialization has taken a fast phase where the economies race each other. It is necessary to gear up new policies and award the companies that follow those regulations. India has failed to create awareness on the sustainment development field. There is a need to sustain the resources that we have left. Hence, the government has to revise its present policies and regulations and make them neutral better policies which will have long-lasting effects. This paper deals with the current trends, necessary developments, government regulations and about the affirmative actions necessary to fix the previously done environmental damages.

The demographic growth in East-Jerusalem and limited land availability due to Israeli planning policies have led to the emergance of haphazardly designed housing developments that prioritize profit over culturally and climatically responsive design solutions. As a result, traditional values are lost, and the impact of climate change is exacerbated. This study evaluates the housing environment in Jerusalem from social and climatic perspectives, using locally produced architectural design solutions to identify sustainable indicators. The study emphasizes the importance of building layouts and design principles that were developed by Jerusalemites in their early attempts to modernize while rooted in traditional values. Field and ethnographic research provides a comprehensive understanding of layout designs, decisions related to thermal comfort, and cultural values associated with the living environment during the early modernity phase. Morphological analysis of plan layouts identifies common design principles frequently employed in relation to climatic, social, and environmental factors. Additionally, the study conducts a systematic literature review of previous research to identify the approaches and methodologies used in detecting indicators of climate-responsive architectural design. These indicators are used alongside field analysis to evaluate and compare cases and identify problematic issues in contemporary housing development designs. The study presents guidelines for future sustainable developments based on locality.

The Israeli Healthy Cities Network (IHCN), as one of the accredited networks of the WHO European Healthy Cities Network in its seventh phase, started mapping the level of adoption and efforts that are being made towards achieving the 17SDGs. Data for all 55 member cities was collected from the most recent online national databases. As not all indicators are available in national data sets, an online questionnaire was distributed to all 55 cities’ health coordinators, via e-mail, to acquire the needed data; 45 of the 55 replied (81.8% response rate). All SDG measures were analyzed by socio-economic cluster (SEC) using one-way ANOVA. Implementation of some indicators was checked for association with population size of municipalities, as well as structure and process measures of the healthy cities’ operation. Cities implement between 4 and 14 SDGs, and 98% implement SDG3, while the lowest implementations are of SDG13 (44%) and SDG12 (28%). Cities in higher SECs are in a better position in relation to most SDGs. However, cities in a low SEC can achieve implementation of at least some of the goals through policy and commitment. This study provides municipalities with a baseline for tracking future progress and a tool for mapping gaps in implementation. The methodology and tools presented here could be used by any municipality, as well as by national networks and other governance bodies.

The New Testament books are full of divine injunctions which were uttered for the purpose of spiritual growth of the readers. They are supernatural commands needed to be obeyed to achieve specific goals. Lawrence Richard like other scholars refers to them as deific, exquisite, hallowed and sacred. The text for consideration in this paper is one of the seven “I am sayings” of Jesus in the Gospel of John. “I am the true vine” (John 15:1). Sustainable spiritual development is key to the survival of life of people as challenges confronting individuals in the contemporary world keep on increasing on daily basis. The symbolism of the “True Vine”, used by Jesus Christ to describe the place of his life and mission on earth vis-a-vis the state of humans that necessitated God to incarnate Himself in the person of Christ, is very significant in Johannine The-ology. The “Vine” in Israel is a unique plant which everybody appreciates, in the sense that it serves both religious and economic purposes in the land of Is-rael. It is a “Metaphor” that Jesus Christ chose to describe the importance of his mission on earth. In Johannine Theology, the relationship between the “True Vine,” The Vine dresser, and the Branches is pertinent and vital to the understanding of the role of Messiahship in the salvation of human souls. The message in this text on the role of these three important Theological figures is essential to the sustainability of the spiritual development of Jesus’ followers and sustainable development in Nigeria especially among the leaders and the led.

The paper presents the need for development of Traffic Systems Management (TSM) course in a developing country. The Palestinian Territories have witnessed significant increase in urban travel demand after the establishment of the Palestinian National Authority (PNA) in 1994. This increase was faced with limited development in transportation infrastructure, due to the constraints of the prolonged Israeli occupation, along with the lack of funding resources. The PNA started in 1995 a number of TSM studies aiming at enhancing the traffic conditions and facilitating the achievement of sustainable built environment. These concerns were reflected on the educational level by designing an undergraduate elective course in TSM at An-Najah National University. The course was designed to meet specific learning outcomes and competencies. The contents and the teaching-learning approaches are continuously reviewed and enhanced. Students are trained to study, evaluate, propose, and test traffic congestion reduction measures to improve safety, and promote sustainable environment. Furthermore, they are trained to manage and improve the efficiency of traffic systems supply and demand at reasonable costs. A book was developed for the course summarizing the concepts, the international experience, and the local applications. Students are encouraged to adopt graduation projects involving TSM applications. Multimedia contents were developed and used through the teaching-learning process. Feedback from students, municipalities, and local agencies was considered to improve the course contents. The paper also highlights the use of the triangulation approach for evaluation and assessment of student’s performance.

The emergence of the latest global challenges and threats caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and Ukraine’s military confrontation with the armed aggression of the Russian Federation actualize the problem of destabilization of the tourism and hospitality industry and aggravate the need for post-war reconstruction of the destroyed infrastructure and ensuring the basis for sustainable development of the country. Under such conditions, the development of the tourism and hospitality industry acquires great importance, which can attract additional financial resources, create new jobs, increase the competitiveness of economic entities and enhance the international image of the country. The aim of the study is to justify the theoretical and applied principles and determine the prospects for the development of the tourism and hospitality industry in a globally competitive environment. The study applies general scientific and unique methods of economic analysis, namely: observation and system analysis; historical-logical method; analysis, comparison and synthesis; functional-system approach; graphical and tabular methods; generalization and systematization. Based on the findings of the study, it is established that the tourism and hospitality industry is experiencing a protracted crisis due to the COVID-19 pandemic and armed military conflicts in today’s environment. Significant reductions in tourism flow to Europe and Asia, and the Pacific have been identified, notably France from 86.9 million people in 2019 to 1.2 million in 2022, Spain from 81.8 million people in 2019 to 9.1 million in 2022, Singapore from 0.15 million people in 2020 to 0.54 million in 2022 and Israel from 0.25 million people in 2020 to 0.23 million in 2022. Meanwhile, the share of GDP produced by the tourism and hospitality industry in total global GDP declined from 10.3 % in 2019 to 5.3 % in 2020. In 2021, it slightly increased to 6.1 %, which requires state support for the tourism and hospitality industry and strengthening the competitiveness of economic entities in this sphere.

Abstract Accessible urban nature is a key component of creating sustainable urban communities and promoting human health and well-being. To balance the economic, social, and environmental dimensions of sustainable development, the United Nations adopted several sustainable developmental goals (SDGs), such as SDG 11 for sustainable cities and communities, which aims to improve urban planning and management, including equitable access to urban nature. However, more information is still needed regarding how planners and managers can promote urban nature visitation and equitable access during health and environmental crises, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. The purpose of this study was to examine trends in urban nature visitation during the pandemic and then to determine if the effect of the pandemic on the frequency of urban nature site visitation varied by distance to home, using an innovative approach of analyzing both publicly available large-scale mobility data and a web-based survey of urban residents of Tel Aviv-Yafo, Israel. The mobility data results showed that there was a negative mean % difference in park visits compared to baseline during the first and third lockdowns, but an increase compared to baseline between lockdowns and even during the second lockdown. This suggests that urban residents had greater need to reconnect with urban nature during and after periods of intense stress. In addition, the survey results showed an increasing negative effect of distance on urban nature site visitation during the pandemic, specifically for urban nature sites located more than 1 km from home. Altogether, the mobility data and survey results suggest that people who lived within 1 km of their preferred urban nature site had disproportionate access to the benefits of urban nature during and after lockdowns than others. To effectively make social and ecological transitions toward urban sustainability, it is vital that cities promote urban nature accessibility during current and future environmental and health crises. Cities should collaborate with diverse stakeholders to create/maintain accessible urban nature sites nearby all sociodemographic groups, provide sustainability education and training to convey the benefits of urban nature, and pursue participatory solutions for understanding urban nature needs and preferences. In this manner, it will be possible to address the growing influence of proximity/travel distance and additional factors that affect urban nature visitation and ultimately, human health and urban sustainability.

Topicality. Modern tourism is recognized as one of the most important commercial activities globally. In 2019, it generated 10% of the total employment and represented a share of 10.4% of global GDP. The tourism sector in Ukraine as a whole saw slow development after independence in 1991. However, the introduction of a visa-free regime in 2005 boosted the country’s global image and visitor numbers. In 2013, Ukraine was visited by over 26 million tourists, primarily from Eastern Europe, but also from Western Europe, USA, Israel and Canada. However, tourism can impose a number of negative economic, social and environmental impacts on the destination and its region.Aims and tasks. Unfortunately, there remains a persistent gap between the tourism sector (both regulators and operators) and the appreciation and use of emerging technologies such as those applied in Tourism 4.0 that can improve its economic efficiency and environmental sustainability. The general objective of the research reported here was to test the current level and effectiveness of Tourism 4.0 technologies (or more specifically High-Performance Data Analytics - HPDA) under the conditions of a large urban coastal destination with a highly diverse economy that is not solely dependent on tourism. Data collection for the TIM took place between August 2020 and May 2021, in collaboration with the Odessa City Council Department for Culture and Tourism. Overall, 295 questions were addressed. The data could be quantitative (amount of electricity or water used per day), or more subjective expert opinion (whether and when the city suffers from traffic congestion or satisfaction of residents with levels of incoming tourists). The data was also quality controlled and labelled according to its accuracy, type (digital or analogue) and frequency of collection. The target baseline year was 2019, with data from 2018 and 2017 obtained where available for trend analysis. In addition, expert estimations of values for 2020 were also made in order to forecast future demands. Data sources fell into three broad categories: (i) government agencies at regional or national level, including the State Statistics Service of Ukraine and Ministry of Justice; (ii) private enterprises; and (3) civil society organisations.Research results. Among the results, it was found that power consumption did not significantly increase during the summer as a result of increased visitors. In addition, the revenue directly generated from a tourist tax levied on registered accommodation providers in 2019 amounted to Euro 393,100, which was only 0.11% of the city’s total budget of Euro 344,947,580. The amount contributed indirectly from other service providers (catering, entertainment, retail, transport etc) through employment and profit taxes was unknown, as was the amount lost in the informal economy.Conclusion. Through a better understanding of current patterns of tourist visits, visitor demographics and revenues, infrastructure use, resource consumption and stakeholder collaboration, the study aimed to spur innovative touristic services and policies tailored to the local challenges and opportunities. While useful insights were obtained from the TIM analysis, it proved impossible at the present time to create a robust overall model of the tourism sector in the city owing to numerous issues concerning the availability and quality of the data needed.

To steer economies onto a sustainable path in a way that is compatible with the urgent priorities of economic developers, sustainability needs to come with new business opportunities, growing markets and, most importantly, new jobs. The big question becomes then how do you wed economic growth with sustainability? Enter the growth of cleantech and the emergence of green industries. Recent rankings place Finland in the top-3 of global leaders in cleantech, along with Israel and the US. Driven by an ambition to selectively invest in a ‘green’ economic turnaround, a number of strategy-level research documents and roadmaps have been produced in recent years on how to kindle new growth and create jobs in the Finnish CleanTech- and the Bio-economies. The three industry ecosystems frequently mentioned are efficient energy solutions (smart grid), mobility-as-a-service (smart mobility), and the bioeconomy. The ultimate questions to be answered are: In which industry ecosystems does Finland have the necessary assets to be an effective competitive contender? And given the existing asset base, what is the true potential of these sectors as engines of economic growth? To rise to the challenge, the report probes (a) the structure and direction of industrial activity that underlie the selected ecosystems, (b) the value capture potential of individual companies in them, and (c) the types of financing the companies are most compatible with. The results are somewhat sobering. They clearly show that for business and economic development purposes the only feasible approach to Cleantech is to deal with it by the ecosystem. The three ecosystems analyzed in this study all feature different industrial structures, make vastly different value propositions, address different markets and involve a very different set of stakeholders. There is little value in cursorily lumping them together under a quasi-common concept such as Cleantech or the Bioeconomy. These concepts have no substance as they do not refer to specific industrial or economic activity. Hence, it is also very challenging to develop concrete instruments for economic or business development purposes that are to promote such activity. At worst, scarce resources are put to suboptimal use, as they are allocated over a vast spread of individual companies and projects that might be a fit with the overall theme of Cleantech but have no common denominator in the form of an industrial ecosystem and its underlying value chains. Our results on a next to non-existent Bioeconomy provide for an excellent showcase. We further show that even the more promising ecosystems such as Smart Mobility and Smart Grids are in the throes of growing pains. There is much that economic developers can do efficiently to alleviate them. The poor leverageability of industry assets and connections for market access across the board speak of fragile, budding industry structures that make it difficult for companies to establish robust markets and steady businesses in the short term. Companies of different sizes suffer the symptoms in their own ways. On the one hand, large incumbents do wield the assets necessary to conquer the ecosystem – telecommunications operators seem to have an especially favorable vantage point in smart ecosystems – but shoot themselves in the foot by applying conventional, capital-intensive business models that leave the door open for more agile growth companies that harness the potential of digitalization to exploit opportunities. On the other, start-ups and SMEs indeed show the drive and lean on nimble enough business models but utterly lack the assets for a full-scale conquest. It is easy to envision a symbiotic relationship, in which incumbents provide the capital-intensive assets while their smaller peers introduce the competitive business models. Given the incipient structure of the ecosystems, however, just finding appropriate partners can incur considerable transaction costs. Here economic developers can step in, helping to find matches via collaborative accelerators that broker partnerships between industrial heavy-hitters on a mission of industrial renewal and small growth companies looking for resources and downstream assets. Finding partners is a formidable challenge in and by itself, but our conclusions point to even more systemic impediments to industrial renewal that lie outside the industry’s sphere of influence. One such is the lack of proper standards for the interconnectivity and interoperability of the various, often proprietary, IT systems that the numerous stakeholders to ecosystems run their businesses on. Especially smart ecosystems by definition build on the seamless interoperability across diverse system architectures and organizational boundaries. In the absence of universal standards, interconnectivity needs to be established one relationship at a time, building on contractually agreed, customized solutions that do not scale beyond the specific relationship. Economic developers can considerably speed up the construction of a digital business environment by introducing universal standards that promote the emergence of plug-and-play platforms for efficient interoperability. In a world of autonomous, self-driving vehicles and applications that affect offtake and feed into electricity grids, quality and safety controls for algorithms that govern these systems will be paramount for individual and societal safety.

Energy is directly related to the most critical social issues which affect sustainable development. Today there is a great incentive for countries to exploit renewable energies in order to slow down the changes in environment and to guard against future trends. This paper presents a review of the assessed potential of renewable resources and practical limitations to their considerable use in the perspective of present scenarios and future projections of the national energy for Oman. Solar and wind are likely to play an important role in the future energy in Oman provided that clear policies are established by the higher authority for using renewable energy resources. Comparison of different solar energy technologies revealed that Concentrator Photovoltaic (CPV) technology may constitute a more appropriate choice for large solar power plants implementation in Oman. Moreover, Oman will not be alone in the region in this regard as similar moves are carried out in other Middle Eastern countries. The status of energy conservation and demand-side management are also discussed in the paper.

The new generation of sustainable building-rating systems especially in developing countries is geared toward incorporating the variations in regional social, cultural, governmental and economic aspects. Likewise, the Sultanate of Oman possess its unique local context, geographical conditions, traditions and culture. The governmental and political requirements including the Omanization program, have also been highly considered in the Oman National Comprehensive Human Development 2040. The National Development Plan 2040 of Oman aims to bring the country into a more a sustainable life style. The aim of this study is to develop a framework for sustainable building construction in Oman by proposing an assessment system for the construction industry. While addressing sustainability, the system should respect the unique context of Oman in terms of its unique geographical, political, cultural, and societal features. No dedicated sustainability-rating system currently exists for Oman. Hence, this study involves two main stages to establish the sustainability assessment system for Oman. The first stage concentrates on further developing the formulation of the proposed system structure in relation to Oman by reviewing the literature on sustainable development and buildings, as well as analyzing international and regional sustainability-rating systems. The structure of the proposed system development is composed of 5 themes (environmental, economic, social, cultural and governance requirements), 11 categories, and 86 indicators. The second stage focuses on formulating assessment categories and their relevant performance indicators, which are validated through conducting a survey including different stakeholders of the industry from building engineers, building regulators, and sustainability experts. Pairwise and direct ranking method comparisons are used as data collection methods to examine the relative importance and weights of each category and each indicator respectively. The analysis of survey data shows that a prominent relative importance and balanced weights are given to indoor environment quality, natural and human resources, social, and governance requirements. The research output shall help and promote future studies to develop a detailed assessment system for sustainable construction in Oman.

Due to rapid growth in population and economy in Oman, housing and urban expansion are considered as high priorities for development. Despite attempts for promotion of sustainable building construction in the sultanate, construction industry has not yet embraced the concept in many sectors. Sustainable construction materials, as the major component to enable the construction of sustainable buildings, have not been implemented in most construction projects in Oman. This research aimed to find the main obstacles that prevent the application of sustainable construction materials in Oman. Two main methods of research included review of literature and interviews with experts from construction industry to identify important factors. Questionnaires prepared based on the factors identified from interviews and literature review, were distributed between members of construction industry in various sectors. Results of this survey indicate that according to members of construction industry, factors that are significantly preventing the effective application of sustainable construction materials in the order of impact are: lack of demand and culture of green construction, high costs of sustainable construction materials and lack of knowledge regarding sustainable construction materials.

This paper provides an overview of the current status and future potentials of nature-based tourism in the Sultanate of Oman with particular focus on sea turtles at Ras Al Hadd. The paper uses objective yardsticks such as inbound tourist arrivals, nationality and spending patterns, seasonality, employment, as well as gross domestic product contribution derived from secondary data from national and international sources to appraise the current situation. Additionally, based on the review of relevant literature, a strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats analysis is used to summarize relevant socioeconomic, political, environmental, and regulatory issues. While there is strong evidence of government commitment to develop nature-based tourism in the country, a number of key issues related to tourist facilities, human activities, environmental conditions, economic research, and capacity development are highlighted for further attention. Most importantly, the analysis suggests a potential to increase the contribution of sustainable sea turtle tourism to Oman’s gross domestic product. To realize this potential the sector needs to (1) consider the seasonal variation of tourists, (2) develop its accommodation capabilities especially at sites with ecological uniqueness while ensuring minimum negative impacts on biodiversity, (3) increase the number of Omani nationals employed in the tourism industry and improve their skills through training, (4) develop marketing tools to attract the dominant inbound ecotourism groups to the country, (5) enhance sustainable planning implementation in the Omani tourism sector, and (6) most importantly ensure an effective implementation of legislation protecting sea turtles and their habitats. It is hoped that policymakers can use these findings to set a direction on sustainable sea turtle tourism in Oman, while promoting the effective conservation of these species.

This study provides empirical examination of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) reporting in Oman. It also examines the impact of SDGs reporting on corporate financial performance. The study adopts content analysis of the narrative sections of the annual reports to measure levels of SDGs reporting. The study examines all financial companies listed on the Muscat Stock Exchange over the period of 2016–2020. Regression models are used to examine the impact of SDGs on corporate financial performance. Our analysis adds to the literature in two crucial respects. First, we provide evidence that financial institutions in Oman have performed poorly in SDGs reporting. Second, we provide evidence that SDGs reporting positively affects corporate financial performance. Our findings offer solid practical implications to regulators, different stakeholders, policymakers, board members, and managers. The study makes an important and novel contribution to corporate disclosure literature. So far as we know, it is the only paper to examine levels of SDGs reporting in financial institutions in a developing country. Moreover, to the best of our knowledge, it is the first paper to show that SDGs reporting is positively associated with corporate financial performance.

Energy is crucial to economic and social development and improves quality of life. However, fossil fuel energy produces greenhouse gases (GHGs) and cannot be sustained for a long time. It is essential to tackle these problems by moving towards renewable and sustainable energy. Some countries, including those in the Arabian Gulf region, are still in the appraisal stage of adopting different forms of renewable energy. This paper reviews the business potential and likely GHG reductions associated with adopting renewable energy in Oman. It is revealed that 1·9 Mt of annual carbon dioxide emissions could be cut by producing 10% of the country’s electricity from renewables. The paper further discusses the global sustainable energy commitment under the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change and reviews the 2030 targets of some countries that are high producers of GHGs. It is anticipated that if all these planned targets are achieved, the total sustainable energy contribution could grow by nearly 11 000 TWh by 2030. These plans provide guidance for those countries still preparing to submit their plans to the UN.

Export diversification's role in reducing environmental degradation, especially in oil-dependent countries, has been overlooked. This study investigated the effect of export diversification, along with energy consumption and economic growth as important control variables, on CO2 emissions and ecological footprint in Oman from 1984 to 2014 by employing the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model. To ensure the stability of the model, robust long-run relationship estimators including Fully Modified Ordinary Least Squares (FMOLS) and Dynamic Ordinary Least Squares (DOLS) were used. The results suggest that export diversification has a positive impact on Oman's environmental degradation. A positive effect of energy on both environmental indicators was found, with a lower effect on CO2 emissions. Diversification of exports is strongly recommended in Oman by shifting to more energy-efficient, environmentally friendly, and high-tech industries.

Oman has seen rapid growth in construction industry with the blooming of many new infrastructure projects. The conventional way of approaching construction projects in the past makes introducing sustainable construction a major challenge. The country has a sound environmental law, however, the effectiveness of its implementation is unclear.Green or sustainable concept is still new to Omani people and as such many initiatives to promote the concept are necessary. In line with the green development of its neighboring countries, Oman should act fast to be at par with them. This paper explores the progress of green construction in the industryto understand how far this concept has penetrated the industry. A survey has been conducted among construction practitioners in Oman focusing on the current progress and barriers of implementation.A total of 12 barriers of implementation have been identified of which the lack of demand for green construction and lack of pressure by government are the top two.The findings suggest that many more efforts are necessary to push green construction to the forefront and the government should play a major role in this development.

Hydrogen production using renewable power is becoming an essential pillar for future sustainable energy sector development worldwide. The Sultanate of Oman is presently integrating renewable power generations with a large share of solar photovoltaic (PV) systems. The possibility of using the solar potential of the Sultanate can increase energy security and contribute to the development of the sustainable energy sector not only for the country but also for the international community. This study presents the hydrogen production potential using solar resources available in the Sultanate. About 15 locations throughout the Sultanate are considered to assess the hydrogen production opportunity using a solar PV system. A rank of merit order of the locations for producing hydrogen is identified. It reveals that Thumrait and Marmul are the most suitable locations, whereas Sur is the least qualified. This study also assesses the economic feasibility of hydrogen production, which shows that the levelized cost of hydrogen (LCOH) in the most suitable site, Thumrait, is 6.31 USD/kg. The LCOH in the least convenient location, Sur, is 7.32 USD/kg. Finally, a sensitivity analysis is performed to reveal the most significant influential factor affecting the future’s green hydrogen production cost. The findings indicate that green hydrogen production using solar power in the Sultanate is promising, and the LCOH is consistent with other studies worldwide.

This work was based on analyses of the following three issues: the detailed clauses of Agenda 21, a comparison of international rating systems, and the impact of the local context of Oman. The platform of Agenda 21 of the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development is used to verify and test various international rating systems and study their common concerns as well as how each of them prioritizes certain categories relevant to the local context of Oman. A study is conducted on the following constraints of the built environment of Oman: water, energy, materials and construction, sustainable sites, indoor environmental quality, waste management, and integrated development. The study concludes with a proposal of framework of an environmental rating system with a hierarchy of three levels, including categories, indicators, and parameters. It is to be named the Oman Building Environmental Certification (OMBEC), and it will be a pilot rating system for present-day homes. The study is intended to develop other rating systems in the future to address more building types, such as schools, healthcare and office buildings, and neighborhood development.

This study analyses the environmental and social management practices' impact on the organisations' economic performance via the mediating role of social and environmental performance. Moreover, it investigates the impact of social and environmental performance on economic performance through the moderating impact of financial conditions. The primary data are collected through a survey-based questionnaire technique from the manufacturing sector of Oman. Data analysed through the confirmatory factor analysis and the application of structural equation modelling. Findings have suggested that environmental management practices and social management practices positively impact economic performance and that social and environmental performance have mediating effects. Further, the financial condition impacts social performance and economic performance but has an insignificant relation as a moderator between environmental performance and economic performance. These findings would aid the managers to construct meticulous policies for the sustainable growth of the organisations. Moreover, the manufacturing sector policymakers need to adopt EMP and apply social management practices to garner sustainable economic performance. This study has a significant contribution to the literature by highlighting the mediating effect of social and environmental performance and moderating the impact of financial conditions on the corporate sector's performance.

Green economy is considered to be the emerging economy of the twenty-first century, as the world is changing its development path from unjust development to environmentally sensitive green development. Making the economy environmentally sustainable is no longer an option but an urgent necessity to achieve a balanced vision between social justice and environmental future. This work highlights the statues of the environment in Oman and the efforts to overcome the difficulties that prevent the transition to a green economy. This will encourage people to consider innovation and think about the values that will be gained from the transformation of the economy. Due to increased greenhouse gas emissions from industries based on non-renewable sources of energy, harmful carbon effects and scarce resources will increase in the near future. It is necessary to know the extent to which the Omani economy is green and the extent of its growth policies corresponding’s to the transformation of the economy. It is equally important to analyze which mechanisms the government will adopt to reduce carbon emissions and global warming. This paper will explain the relationship between Green economy and Sustainable development in Oman and to what extant Oman is green. The objectives are to establish the relationship between green economy and sustainable development in the Omani context, to assess and measure the role of the green economy in achieving goals of sustainable benefits for the local economy. Also, it is important to inform the public about the importance of using green economy for the next generations and encouraging individuals to contribute to environmental protection on daily life routine, and to achieving a balanced vision between social justice and environmental future. The methodology considers the three types of indicators: Economic indicators, Environmental indicators related to economic activity, and Aggregate indicators on the path of progress and social welfare. In addition to primary and secondary data. The main outcome of this research is that the Sultanate is not green growing, as it is still highly dependent on non-renewable resources, therefore Oman should set a stronger lows on this issue.

Green wireless networking is an emerging area for many societies, especially academia and industry, in light of economic and ecological perspectives. Empowering wireless infrastructures exploiting green power sources can enhance sustainability due to the adverse effects of conventional power sources and atmospheric circumstances. Moreover, the specific power supply requirements for a base station (BS), such as cost effectiveness, efficiency, sustainability, and reliability, can be met by utilizing technological advances in renewable energy. Numerous drivers and motivators are involved in the deployment of renewable energy technologies and the transition toward green energy. Renewable energy is free, clean, and abundant in most locations throughout the year. In this work, a sustainable optimal stand-alone solar-powered model envisioning green cellular BSs for urban locations in Oman is proposed. This model can extend 24 h uninterrupted power supply support to a cellular BS that fully utilizes an integrated storage device. The system analysis is conducted using a hybrid optimization model for electric renewables (HOMER) based on actual prevailing conditions of the regions and their technical feasibility. The results showed can be achieved operational expenditure savings up to 16%. These outcomes provide a huge benefit to the cellular operators of Oman economically, technically, and ecologically.

The pressure of modernization and urbanization has stimulated positive growth in the Oman's construction sector especially in infrastructure development. The slower pace of construction progress in Oman in the past provides huge opportunity for the green concept to be integrated alongside the growth of the country. The lack of evidence on green progress may suggest that the green concept or environmental values are not yet at the forefront of the construction industry agenda. Proactive actions from the government, private companies and professional bodies are crucial to drive the concept and bring 'greener' change to the industry. Through survey, this paper discusses the drivers that shall motivate construction players to participate in implementing green into their projects and explore the perceptions of these players on the future outlook of green concept in Oman. This study shall shed lights into the current status of green application in the Omani construction practices and enable further recommendations be made to improve and promote wider application in the future.

The adverse impact of the energy production from fossil fuels is now well recognised globally. Therefore, the move towards renewable and sustainable energy has become integral to the achievement of the UN Sustainable Development Goals. A comparative study considered a waste-to-energy plant to produce electricity in Oman. A research strategy including both qualitative and quantitative research methods was adopted to evaluate the municipal solid waste generation and emissions, electricity consumption and emissions, and public participation in waste segregation, and to estimate the reduction in emission considering a 5000 t/day waste-to-energy plant in Oman. The results showed that current emissions from fossil fuels to meet the electricity requirement of 71 GWh/year are 162 million tonnes carbon dioxide equivalent (MtCO 2 e)/year. Similarly, the emissions from 2.2 Mt/year of municipal solid waste are 3.4 MtCO 2 e/year. A 5000 t/day waste-to/energy plant would not only produce 2.93 GWh daily but would also enable an annual reduction of 2.46 MtCO 2 e. Such an initiative would help Oman improve its sustainability performance in energy, climate change, waste reduction and economic growth and will pave the road to achieve the relevant UN Sustainable Development Goals by 2030.

The study investigates to which extent corporate board characteristics influence the disclosure of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in Omani-listed financial institutions. Using hand-collected data for 34 Omani financial institutions listed on the Muscat Stock Exchange for the period between 2016 and 2020, the study applies multivariate analysis to examine the association between corporate board characteristics and SDGs disclosure following Al Lawati and Hussainey’s (2022) method in measuring SDG variables. Drawing from agency theory and resource dependence theory, our results showed that the independence and financial expertise of the corporate board promote better disclosure of SDGs. On the other hand, gender and nationality diversity of the board were found to be negatively associated with the disclosure of the SDGs. Our paper contributes to the growing literature by being the first study to examine the extent to which corporate board characteristics drive SDGs disclosure in one of the emerging markets. In addition, in our study, we employ the resource dependence theory with the agency theory to investigate our research hypotheses in order to capture the full practice of the SDGs disclosure. The study implies that the characteristics of the corporate board are one of the main determinants of SDGs disclosure in emerging markets. Furthermore, not all boards behave the same with regard to the disclosure of the SDGs, and this behavior is determined by its characteristics. The study recommends that a sustainability committee may be initiated to enhance the disclosure of the SDGs in Omani financial institutions.

There is an urgent need to build sustainable models to predict future in oil and gas sector to accommodate and respond to the short-term pressures. One of the main issues in petroleum companies is the concept of sustainability interpreted in a multitude of different ways. Numerous frameworks have been presented to assess sustainability, but there is no agreement on a common set of criteria for analysis, investigation, modelling and assessment. A framework of sustainability in oil and gas industry was built and investigated on two important levels: micro-level and macro-level. The micro-level was proposed to evaluate sustainable index in an individual petroleum company and macro-level was suggested to assess sustainable index in the whole oil and gas sector. Practical indicators have been suggested, developed and evaluated to assess sustainability indexes. An implementation of the suggested framework was applied through three big petroleum companies in Sultanate of Oman. The results show that some companies had sustainable indices of more importance than others.

Fishing wealth is one of the richest resources in the Sultanate of Oman. It is considered as one of the most important economic developments that nation depends on in a larger way. The Sultanate of Oman is characterized by the presence of a large fishing fleet as the number of fishing vessels and boats in it. Good research with the application of modern technology in fishermen boats is required to increase the quality of fishing by providing fishermen with a safe and secure fishing experience. Artificial intelligence (AI) in boat automation technology is new and it is a mandatory demand for Oman’s fisheries sector. At the time of fishing, there are a lot of problems fishermen face such as weather changes, border tracking, navigation, illegal fishing, pirate attack, oil spill, technical fault in boats, etc. Therefore, the application of AI and related techniques in boat automation, information sharing, and preparation of documentation resources is very important in this sector. The main requirement for a fisherman is a high-quality fishing boat with proper communication devices to provide all the required information to fishermen and the control room. In this paper, a review has been made on fishermen’s boats with artificial intelligence for a sustainable fishing experience ensuring safety, security, navigation, and sharing information for Omani fishermen.

Applications of remotely sensed satellite data are wide and unique in the mapping of different lithologies, mineral resources, and ore deposits. Satellite images are capable in discriminating rock types useful for geological applications and significantly used in the identification of mineral resources. The techniques are low-cost and save time in mapping and exploration of such resources and are well-suitable and applicable to the arid region. Oman has the potential occurrence of the industrial minerals and ore deposits which mostly occur in inaccessible mountains and desert regions where it is difficult to do conventional geological mapping. Thus, understanding the capability of the techniques to map and ex­plore such potential resources by geologists is highly important. The absorption characters of spectral bands of Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Re­flection Radiometer (ASTER) and selected imaging processing methods namely decorrelation stretching, band ratios, linear spectral unmixing (LSU), and Mixture Tuned Matched Filtering (MTMF) demonstrates the sensor capability of ASTER to map several mineral deposits and different rock lithologies in Oman, which in­cludes limestone, marl, listwaenites, carbonatites, metamorphic zones, caves, karst, springs, vegetation’s, rock fall and slide, Moho, copper, chromite, awaruite, manganese, and gold deposit in different parts of the Sultanate of Oman. It demonstrates the spectral sensitivity of such rocks for simple interpretation over satellite data and describes and distinguishes them based on the absorptions of hydrous minerals in the spectral bands of ASTER for mapping and exploration studies.

Older buildings’ inherent sustainable features are usually neglected only because they are usually perceived as being not sustainable simply because of their morphological and typological features and considered economically cumbersome for adaptive reuse. These buildings, however, are important part of our cultural heritage and need to be preserved, not only for their historical and cultural content but also for being ecologically conscious buildings that embrace different dimensions of sustainability. Retention, rehabilitation and reuse of Built Heritage, can promote sustainable development by conserving embodied energy but can also improve social sustainability. However, how to achieve this sort of sustainability is a complex issue that is a direct result of the inherent characteristics of the Built Heritage. Recently, sustainable development and heritage conservation, which share similar intentions and both aim to enhance the relationship between people and the built environments, have combined their efforts to tackle sustainable Built Heritage conservation. This combined effort has created curiosity in research of Built Heritage, where life cycle approach in conservation is explored, where traditional Built Heritage is integrated in a larger strategy of sustainable management of the embodied energy, which in return is considered as integrated part of cultural heritage. Our aim in this chapter, therefore, is to examine how the construction industry can reposition itself to increase focus on the revitalization of existing buildings as an alternative to demolition and replacement by introducing a new integrated ICOMOS+ C2C life cycle approach to sustainable Built Heritage conservation and show that different aspects of sustainability from energy conservation to construction techniques can be achieved by adaptive reuse of Built Heritage. A vernacular dwelling in old area of Mirbat town of Dhofar region in Sultanate of Oman has been selected as a case study to depict our integrated ICOMOS+ C2C approach.

Increasing awareness about the necessity for natural resources protection represents worldwide recognition of its importance as an important tool in mainstream development. This growing recognition is accompanied by a growing awareness about the importance of activating natural resource management systems to achieve greater sustainability. At present, experiences and studies in this field show the need for the participation of all stakeholders in the processes of decision making in natural resource management. There is also a need to initiate natural resource governance that ensures effective management to benefit sustainable development, the later representing a key foundation for environmental and natural resources management. Moreover, investigations of the prospects of applying traditional knowledge systems and their integration with Western scientific knowledge produces numerous calls to revisit this knowledge where it has proven useful in environmental and natural resources management, both in theory and practice. In this spirit, this thesis investigates the effectiveness of the natural resources management system in Oman using Al-Jabal Al-Akhdar Region (AAR) as a case study, and linking this management system with the local people’s practices, which rely on their traditional environmental knowledge. Based on theories and concepts of natural resource management and sustainability, multiple research methods were used to explore the strengths and weaknesses in the system of natural resources management in the region, to analyze the advantages of traditional practices and knowledge systems, and thus, to deepen the understanding of the continuous struggle between nature and development. Results indicated that although Oman is rich in environmental policies, represented by laws and legislation that theoretically govern protection of the environment, the transformation of these policies into practice is troubled by practical obstacles. On the natural side, there are volatile climatic conditions, and on the human side, there is inefficiency of planning and a lack of means and tools to implement sustainable natural resources management programmes. Both obstacles expose environmental sustainability to uncertainty. However, as this research points out, traditional environmental knowledge and management practices systems used by local people in the AAR are characterized by useful interpretations of environmental dynamics to guide the direction of resource utilisation and management, and to address any uncertainty on the course toward sustainability.

As an oil-exporting country, Oman traditionally relies on oil sources to meet its energy demand. The country has not been able to safeguard its environment from carbon emissions (CO2)-related adversities. In this context, this study evaluated the impacts of the price of oil, financial development, economic growth, and nonrenewable energy on the environmental quality in Oman. The research used the recently developed augmented autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) approach to investigate annual data from 1980 to 2018. The outcomes revealed the following: (i) financial development negatively affected ecological quality in the short and long term; (ii) oil prices positively impact carbon emissions in the long term; however, the price of oil does not significantly influence CO2 emissions in the short term; (iii) nonrenewable energy is harmful for ecological quality over both the short and long term; (iv) there is a causal link among financial development, nonrenewable energy, and carbon emissions. The current research outcomes present valuable findings for Oman’s policymakers in heading toward sustainable financial and energy sectors.

Abstract- -- This study aims to  investigating the impact of sustainable development supply chain on economic performance of  Sultanate of Oman. This study used nine sectors in the market classified at three elements of sustainable  development supply chain consists of social , economic and environmental, each element measured by three variables  as independent variables to show the impact on economic performance measured by GDP and FDI on nine  governorates of Sultanate of Oman over the period 2005 -2013. The statistical descriptive results show  Al-Batinah , Dhofar and Muscat governorates have first rank  in social element variables.  In economic and environmental elements variables Al-Batinah and Muscat governorates have first rank . But Al  Wusta governorate has the last rank in all three elements of sustainable development supply chain. The regression analysis results show that  social sustainable development supply chain variables are more significant in GDP than FDI variables, but in economic sustainable development supply chain variables are only significant in FDI variable .Finally, in environmental sustainable development supply chain variables is more significant in FDI than GDP variables  at 1%, 5% and 10% significant level. Multiple regression analysis tests  found there is as significant impact only in environmental sustainable development supply chain variables on FDI variable. The researchers recommend the need to limit domestic spending and enhance the contribution of small and medium-sized firms in the development and strengthening local value added.

Oman’s developing economy has relied heavily on hydraulics for its expenditure since the early 1970s.  However, due to the current business environment and the new direction of the country; the 2020 and 2040 vision tends to focus on transforming the country into an economy which relies on new sector development, new entrepreneurial business startups and SMEs.  Entrepreneurial startups and SMEs are significant factors in the development of sustainable growth of a national economy and it is expected that entrepreneurship in Oman will contribute greatly in its economic development and sustainability. This is since using SMEs to increase diversification in the economy, consequently, results in an increase of job opportunities. A startup entity tends to face several hurdles and challenges during the various stages of development such as rigid labor regulations, business knowledge, networks, attracting market segmentation, raising funds, procuring and operations, people management, policies and regulations and social culture.  These challenges tend to arise because there is a lack of support for both business and for an existing entrepreneurial ecosystem. Business incubators can play a crucial role in developing an effective and supportive entrepreneurial ecosystem to support entrepreneurs in building their startups at different stages. The introduction of business incubators has the potential to help foster entrepreneurial talent as well as creating an environment for entrepreneurship; this is reflective of business incubators being tools at both the micro and macro level. Therefore, Business Incubation is viewed as a combination of business development processes, infrastructure and knowledgeable business experts - designed to nurture and grow startups. Somewhere in the region of 7000 business incubators exists around the world in 2020, according to the National business Incubation Association. The aim of this paper is to showcase how business incubators may be capable of playing a critical role in developing the entrepreneurial ecosystem within Oman. Furthermore, the authors will show how our understanding of business incubators function may help with national development.  After considerable review of business incubators where it was concluded that business incubators represent the cornerstone of entrepreneurship and economic development and sustainability in any economy and especially in Oman.  For example, the current study concluded that business incubators lead to job creation, new business formation, business stabilization and expansion, commercialization of research and knowledge and business sustainability.  All these benefits in turn will lead to economic development and sustainability, and in sustaining such benefits, there are certain critical success factors must be followed for the success of business incubators and they are having stringent incubate selection criteria; access to facilities and resources; access to consultant, advisors, and experts; access to regulations and legal framework; selection of quality of entrepreneurs, performance measurement and acceptance of innovative products or services.

This paper provides empirical evidence on the relationship between audit committee (AC) characteristics and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) disclosure in 34 financial companies listed on the Muscat Stock Exchange (MSX) in Oman. Using content analysis and multiple regression analysis on a dataset from 2016 to 2020, obtaining 170 years-observations, the study assesses the attributes of corporate ACs that drive the level of SDG disclosure. The findings reveal that AC attributes such as independence, financial expertise, and overlapped directorships positively influence SDG disclosure. Conversely, the frequency of AC meetings and the proportion of foreign directors negatively affect SDG disclosure. Notably, the presence of female directors does not significantly impact SDG disclosure. These results have implications for policymakers, regulators, and practitioners seeking to enhance sustainable development practices. By understanding the role of specific AC characteristics, organisations can improve SDG reporting, bolster transparency, and advance accountability toward SDGs.

The Sultanate of Oman has devoted particular attention to the development of the fisheries sector as a mechanism to increase fisheries' share in the GDP, foreign exchange, food security and food quality, private sector investment and socioeconomic well-being of fishers. However, as a signatory to Agenda 21 Oman has not yet made an attempt to assess the overall performance of her fisheries sector with respect to the core principles of sustainable development. This study aims to assess the performance of the commercial trawl fishery of Oman covering the period 1997- 2006 by measuring its impacts on the society and the environment. Considering the relevance and suitability to the fishery, the Ecologically Sustainable Development (ESD) framework was used for this assessment. A field observation onboard a fishing vessel and a consultation review process involving all stakeholders was carried out to facilitate the identification of the ESD framework components. A set of relevant indicators were then developed to assess the progress with respect to their operational objectives identified from the country's natural resources management policy or, when not available, from the recognized international treaties. This process was structured following the Sustainable Development Reference System (SDRS) guidelines and aimed to gain the acceptance of the fisheries stakeholders. Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) was then used to assess the progress of each component with respect to its objective toward sustainability. This process involved the calculation and assignment of indicator scores, reference points and weight level (standardization and weighted summation). Following the MCDA results, sensitivity analysis was worked out for five different scenarios representing some adjustment in the MCDA inputs values and the policy preferences of various stakeholders involved. The objectives of this sensitivity analysis were to test the variation in the model in order to increase the confidence and provide new and useful information. The study period was divided into two periods: the '1998 management scheme' covering the period 1998-2001 and the '1997 management scheme' covering the period 1997 and 2002-2006. Sensitivity analysis results revealed that the year 2001 was the most preferred option for all cases except for the short-term financial preference case, where the year 2006 was the most preferred year. It was observed that with the exception of 2001, which showed the best overall performance, the overall scores aggregated over all components, maintained a similar trend. Close investigation of scores of all options for effects on human revealed that the 1998 management scheme performed weakly with obvious strength and significant performance in the effects on environment. It was also found that the 1997 management scheme mostly targeted short-term financial returns more than any other cases. Contrary to this, the 1998 management scheme was more balanced and favored conservation (long-term preferences) over short-term financial returns. The results gave special attention and priority to the year 2001 and hence to the 1998 management scheme. Therefore, management schemes practiced in the period 1998- 2001, are considered to be the best choice for both long-term financial and conservation preferences and hence they are the best option toward sustainability. In order to give a wider view and determine the status of the fisheries governance, further MCDA was carried out to investigate the effect of the management schemes at indicators and criteria level. This exercise identified the sustainability index of criteria and indicators. The 1998 management scheme was distinguishable from the other by its higher criteria and indicators' sustainability indices. Based on overall analysis, it was found that the year 2001, which fell within the 1998 management scheme period, was the most preferred year. Therefore, the management measures practiced in the period 1998-2001, are considered to be the most suitable for the advancement towards the ESD principles. However, it is concluded that overall attainment toward sustainability is below par. Based on the key findings (observational as well as analytical), some central policy recommendations have been suggested for better fisheries governance and better attainment of sustainability.

Abstract In large parts of the Gulf countries, neighbourhoods’ mono-functional structures with their low density and their lack of social functions, lively public spaces, public transportation and climate responsive design features have catered for an environmentally unfriendly development pattern. Borders between neighbourhoods are mostly socially repulsive as they usually host large residual and underutilized spaces such as oversized main roads and other infrastructure elements. Consequently, these residual areas constitute large breaks in the neighbourhoods’ building pattern and physical barriers for the inhabitants. Since we see a great potential in these residual areas, we have elaborated a planning tool which is generally applicable for sustainable development of transitional spaces between neighbourhoods. This study demonstrates different strategies on how these urban thresholds between neighbourhoods can be transformed into central active mixed-use public spaces that will be reachable for all residents by walking. Accordingly, they can promote for social interaction between different neighbourhoods and thus social sustainability. Within this paper, at first, the thresholds between different residential neighbourhoods’ structures are examined to better understand their qualities and deficits. Secondly, various sustainable development options for the threshold areas are demonstrated. An exemplary site in the Capital Area of Muscat, Oman serves as a case study. The third part consists of an evaluation of the elaborated proposals according to their ecological, social and economical efficiency in order to create adequate implementation strategies. Finally, we propose that the ecological solutions for residual areas as developed in this paper for the GCC region can be expanded to other hot-climate countries as a planning tool to achieve sustainable built environments by connecting different neighbourhoods.

This dissertation examines the consequences of urbanisation triggered by rapid economic and demographic growth in Oman since 1970 on spatial diversity. By tracing geographic, climatic, ecological, historic, socio-cultural, political and economic aspects the dissertation positions Oman at a crucial turning point where spatial resources are limited, not evenly accessible and not symmetrically mobilised by processes of urban growth, extension and concentration. The dissertation links spatial diversity to resilient land use and sustainable urban development in light of ongoing demographic growth and depleting resources. The hypothesis of this dissertation postulates that a differentiated spatial, temporal and structural understanding of spatial diversity in the form of land use maps, spatial diversity indices and urbanisation models can lead to a more resilient and sustainable form of urbanisation in Oman. The methods used are desk studies, field documentation, remote sensing with historic satellite images, geo-information systems mapping and parametric urban modelling. The dissertation reviews current urbanisation models in Oman in relation to urban metabolism, urban sustainability and spatial diversity. It then maps land use transformation processes across Oman at the national level, as well as focussing on four regions and 18 local samples. The dissertation postulates ‘space species’ that can be discerned through remote sensing and establishes a spatial diversity index for these local samples. The findings suggest that a balanced spatial diversity for both agricultural and urban land uses is the optimal land use configuration for a resilient and sustainable spatial development in Oman. These insights result in four urban design strategies in response to the specific regional conditions. The urban design strategies – spatially diverse and resource efficient – are translated into parametric models. These parametric urban models allow to develop urban design scenarios and visualise urban form in 3D models. The dissertation closes with a discussion of spatial diversity as a measure of sustainable and resilient development in Oman.

Like its neighbouring countries, Oman has witnessed an extraordinary social and economic development over the past few decades. This was mainly one sided socio-economic development dependent on the oil sector and the government has continuously strived to draw a balance between exploitation of its natural resources, and the development program which indicates an early courtesy towards sustainability and environmental protection. The pressure towards massive investment in development and economic progress was nevertheless higher and determined to a large extent its success in maintaining this equilibrium. As such, one has to address this important issue within the framework of urban sustainability. The essence of this thesis contribution to knowledge lies around the dissection of the decision making process around urban planning and development in Oman during the past forty years (through problem and process analysis) and how it may be directed towards a more sustainable urban future. The aims of this research are: to develop a comprehensive understanding of the history of urban development in Oman since 1970, and to provide insights into the decision making processes which have occurred during this period; to develop an understanding of contemporary decision making processes in urban planning, including an understanding of decision makers and citizens attitudes towards urban sustainability; to identify problems and successes in these areas; and to develop an improved strategy for urban planning that will provide an effective and equitable sustainable urban future. The study has progressed in a sequence of phases: identifying the main dimensions of urban sustainability that are relevant for this study; mapping out the history of urban development planning, including its main objectives, policies, urban development milestones and challenges; carrying out the research using a triangulated methodology approach that consists of: historical analysis of milestones and projects within the development of town planning in Oman over the past forty years, semi-structured interviews of decision makers, and the assessment of behaviour and attitudes of the general public towards sustainability through the use of focus groups and questionnaires. This has revolved around a few case studies of existing districts from Muscat, the capital of Oman. The framework for this study consisted of 16 urban sustainability dimensions (USDs), which can be looked at as the agenda for any serious review of urban sustainability specific to Oman. The problem analysis phase produced a list of problems, challenges, constraints and drivers that can be utilized in addressing the progress of urban development and how it may be enhanced in the future. It was evident that throughout the early years of development, and up to 1995, Oman has undertaken serious strategy development across various disciplines within urban development. As a result of the process analysis phase, there is an apparent gap between strategy development and implementation, and this research identified 14 strategy shortcomings and 24 implementation shortcomings. As an outcome of this analysis, the research identifies a comprehensive list of recommendations against each urban sustainability dimension and this should aid any consultant that aims to develop future urban planning strategies, and the professionals entrusted with implementation of such strategies. It is not surprising that focus should be cast on land use, urban planning and urban transport. The plot distribution system in Oman has driven our cities to the shape they are in today, and has affected other elements of the city in this route, such as transport corridors, urban design and urban quality. The lack of a meaningful urban development management at a city scale contributes to this dilemma, but there are solutions to overcome this that should be looked at. This research could be carried forward by translating these urban sustainability dimensions into indicators which will be able to measure progress and success against the government actions and other initiatives addressing sustainability. In addition, the product analysis phase that would involve case studies within Muscat as a city could be undertaken to identify the association of the outcome with the strategies developed and their implementation. In addition, the results within this research could be tested against the current progress and development of Oman National Spatial Strategy, under development since 2008. The qualitative analysis in this research would be enhanced by conducting quantitative analysis into the decision making process and to measure the gap behind strategy and implementation.

Sustainability is a concept for achieving integration and balance in development to preserve and use resources properly by providing new solutions to overcome structural, social and economic misconceptions to prevent further degradation and waste of natural resources and create a better future for human societies. Sustainable development can be defined as a strategy for the correct use of resources, by modifying and redefining consumption patterns and avoiding one-sided development approaches. Therefore, sustainable development is defined as a long-term and unlimited solution for aligning different concepts (social, economic, and environmental), seemingly independent but related and influencing each other. This paper examines the challenges and capacities of the Oman Maritime Community and Maritime Energy Management's role in terms of sustainable development. To analyze this issue, the role of key players in Oman's maritime industry, such as the Oman Fisheries Company and the Oman Shipping Company, has been studied with the five main indicators of sustainable development goals, including people, the planet, peace, welfare, and partnership.

Abstract Petroleum Development Oman (PDO) is the leading Exploration and Production company in The Sultanate of Oman, and it delivers the majority of the country's crude oil and natural gas supply. It also has a great focus on delivering excellence, growth, and sustainable value creation within and beyond the Oil and Gas Industry. It is a pioneer in adopting state of the art technologies to run its business and to even goes beyond the Oil and Gas industry by supporting the nation in capability building and sustainable development. This is but an implementation of Petroleum Development Oman's Vision which is to be renowned and respected for the excellence of our people and the value created for the Sultanate of Oman and all the stake holders. With the heavy focus from the world in the recent years on Digitalization and Transformation, Petroleum Development Oman has set its sails in the Digitalization journey by creating a dedicated team that supports the company's business through digitalization. With the focus on Digitalization comes the utilization of Artificial Intelligence. The driver behind this focus is to have an increased efficiency, achieve greater business agility and creating value for the business in an environment where the oil price is highly volatile. In the Oil and Gas industry, drilling performance is key to reduce the overall cost of the well construction. Different companies strive for performance improvements through many ways that include technology, optimization and recently, digitalization. Automating the Drilling Efficiency Optimization (DEO) is one example of applying digitalization in the Oil and Gas Industry. DEO is a tool that was developed over the years to suggest the optimum parameters that lead to optimum performance based on historical data. In the past, the DEO Roadmap construction was done manually. It was time consuming and had limits when it comes to amendments as the data can be updated only after drilling a well. Nowadays, Petroleum Development Oman has managed to automate the construction of the DEO Roadmap and allow it to be updated continuously in a feedback loop using data mining and Artificial Intelligence.DEO is now set to process over 500 wells every year with a target to improve and optimize drilling efficiency.This has led to improvements in people's efficiency as it takes less time to view the roadmap. DEO was piloted in of the deep wells where hard rock is drilled and It led to improvements in the drilling performance where savings as high as $430,000 per well were achieved.

Development of the financial sector is an important component in achieving the micro-foundations of wealth creation and economic development of a country. An increasingly relevant component in this relationship relates to the issue of financial access which leads to financial inclusion, which, in turn, leads to better living standards and plays a very important role in achieving sustainable development. The chapter in its present form is an attempt to measure financial access and use of financial services in the Sultanate of Oman from 2010 to 2017. The financial access is measured on two parameters: Geographic and Demographic; enabling the measurement of the banking outreach in terms of branch and ATM expansion. The use of financial services is measured in terms of number and size of deposits and loans extended in the Sultanate. This exercise will help to gauge Oman’s progress in terms of financial access and use of financial services and also help in understanding the efforts made by Oman to achieve sustainable development goals.

This study explores the potential effects of technological advancements, such as artificial intelligence and other Fourth Industrial Revolution innovations, on the development of the tourism sector in Oman. By employing a sample of 304 respondents, this research uncovers the relationships between community participation, smart tourism infrastructure, governmental policies, and technologically advanced tourism development. We provide a detailed demographic analysis of the respondents and ascertain their preferences regarding tourist destinations and trips. Our study employs the Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) approach, and the analysis reveals significant direct and indirect associations between the variables. We find substantial evidence that community participation and smart tourism infrastructure positively impact governmental policies and technologically advanced tourism development. Additionally, government policies significantly influenced the development of a technologically advanced tourism sector. Importantly, we also demonstrate the mediating role of governmental policies in the relationships between community participation, smart tourism infrastructure, and technologically advanced tourism development. These findings suggest that Oman can drive sustainable growth in its tourism sector by embracing technological innovations, harnessing community participation, optimizing tourism infrastructure, and implementing effective governmental policies. This will position Oman as a leading technologically advanced tourist destination, attracting tech-savvy tourists and providing a balanced, enriching experience for visitors and local communities.

This study aims to find out the role of the public libraries in the Sultanate of Oman in achieving knowledge awareness as one of Oman’s Sustainable Development Goals. To achieve the study’s main objective, several questions regarding the public libraries’ role were proposed. To answer these questions, the study adopted a descriptive analytical-qualitative method. Twelve public libraries were covered in this study. Moreover, two qualitative tools were used: interviews with representatives from the public libraries and analyzing the contents of these libraries’ programs. The study found that public libraries’ awareness about sustainable development is medium, as some have no idea about the topic. The study also revealed that the public library focuses on sustainable development as educational aspects by providing databases and facilitating access. Moreover, besides the technical aspects, most public libraries provide the services of public computers and the internet. In addition, some of these public libraries had played a role in disseminating health awareness for society through providing First Aid training courses. However, the public libraries’ role in enhancing society’s awareness of the available job opportunities was very week. In addition, public libraries in Oman have a critical role in preserving Oman’s Documentary Heritage and provide its accessibility as most of the public libraries have a huge number of these documents. The most important recommendation of the study is that the Omani libraries’ authority should focus on developing the awareness of the specialists of the public library about sustainable development and the role of public libraries in achieving it.

A smart city concept ensures sustainable development and addresses urgent urban, social, economic, and environmental concerns. Smart cities have significant potential for improving the economy and living conditions of cities and their residents; however, this potential has yet to be fully realized in many countries. Given its escalating urban challenges, the current international smart-city frameworks and models are insufficient to enable developing cities, such as Muscat city of Oman, to implement the smart-city concepts successfully. Literature review and previous studies indicate a lack of studies on systematic methodologies and standards to manage, initiate, and process the urban transformation towards smart cities in developing countries. It is due to a lack of knowledge regarding the unique characteristics of methodological frameworks for smart transformation tailored to each country's social, economic, and political circumstances. This paper aims to present an integrated methodological framework for urban transformation in the context of the social, economic, and governmental factors that affect each country's approach to smart and sustainable cities. The study depended on a qualitative and critical analysis of a selective body of literature and studies. The study presents a framework that differs from previous frameworks presented in the context of developing countries as it includes: the stages of preparation, groundwork, and setting of the basis for the city, as well as the importance of these stages in building the bridges between reality and hope; KPIs at different stages allow comparison of city performance before and after based on a smart urban transformation model, a smart city planning strategy, and an Omani case study focused on the smart cities concept. Finally, the study ends by presenting a proposed model, “CLEVER”, that is assumed to be an effective approach to the smart transformation of cities in developing countries such as Muscat-Oman.

Energy resources are the main generator of electricity and works based on its natural condition and circumstances, namely - renewable, fossils and nuclear energy. Wind, wave, tidal and solar are examples of renewable energy resource and coal, oil and natural gas are instances of fossil energy resource. Energy conservation plays a significant role to reduce demand, develop and use renewable energy sources, protect and replenish supplies and reduce climate changes. In a study done by the Japan International Cooperation Agency in 2013, a masterplan for energy conservation in the power sector was created for the Sultanate of Oman. The masterplan aims at bringing power efficiency on the demand side and conserving electric power by the year 2023 and thereby institutionalize and promote an Energy Efficiency &amp; Conservation policy (EE &amp; C). The EE &amp; C policy have led to the rise of ‘green’ building projects in Oman which works to reduce and prevent negative impacts on natural environment and conserve energy. Advertently the Oman Green Building Council (OGBC) was established in 2012 which aims at promoting green building concepts and ensure sustainable development. Sustainable energy is meeting requirements of the present generation without wastage and the ability of future generations to meet their own requirements. This project chooses an office room in the college as a sample and attempts to make it ‘green’. We use renewable energy like solar, pollution and waste reduction measures, and enabling recycling and re-use of materials that are non-toxic, ethical and sustainable and adapts to a changing environment. The project will use IoT devices like sensors and boards with microcontrollers (Raspberry PI) to achieve sustainability and ‘green’. An app will show real time use of electrical components like light, air conditioner and fan and controls the usage of these components to maximize the percentage of sustainability and energy efficiency. The results of the app like real time measurement of energy consumptions accruing to a days’ usage are useful in further data analysis. This project will help to implement the system in the entire organization and adding an impetus to the global energy efficiency and conservation struggle.&#x0D;

Oman’s vision 2040 focuses on four main pillars of People, Economy, Institutions and Environment. Every nation’s economy greatly benefits from its environment, both directly and indirectly. Direct usage is through its use in manufacturing and indirect usage is through the myriad of services it offers. In recent decades, the nature of the environmental concerns facing the world has undergone a major shift. The best defense to sustain the environment is to instill awareness among the youth. This research attempted to initiate this defense mechanism through an assessment of environmental paradigms among budding Omani entrepreneurs. Researchers adopted an area sampling design to select respondents from designated food service-sectors. Data collection was administered through a structured questionnaire using NEP scale focused on five facets such as Reality of Limits to Growth, Anti-anthropocentrism, Fragility of Nature’s Balance, Rejection of Exemptionalism and Possibility of an Eco-Crisis. The analysis included Descriptive statistics, student’s t test, ANOVA and multiple comparison using Tukey HSD test that revealed the impact of respondents’ gender, type of business and location on environmental paradigms to comprehend creative entrepreneurs' willingness to sustain natural resources in support of Oman's Vision 2040.&#x0D; Keywords: Ecocentric views; Young Entrepreneurs; NEP scale; Sustainable Development (SD); Oman Vision 2040

This article focuses on the role of logistic companies in economic growth and how eco-friendly are implementing eco-friendly technology, green logistics, and considering the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. This research aims to study the logistic sector in Oman and how its practices could be changed into eco-friendly processes to conserve the environment. The study highlights consumption, which encourages the adoption of green practices. Moreover, the research pays attention to the drivers and barriers to green adoption initiatives. The research used quantitative methods in the form of surveys with the help of qualitative evidence from the literature to reach outcomes. The findings vindicate that Oman places great emphasis on the development of logistics services to achieve economic growth. The implementation of green technology allows companies to help the environment and cost savings. Studies are helpful if managers in the business are willing to bring such practices into their business. There is a need to align sustainable development and logistics operations to support the SDGs in their CSR initiative. The shift usually takes a long time, but the initiative must be taken, and governmental bodies must support the greening of the logistic industry. Research findings reasonably advocate the share of the logistic industry in economic growth, so investments in this sector would only lead to better trade and more earnings whilst conforming to the customers' demands. The study faces some limitations, including a limitation and superficiality in the information presented in the green logistics aspect, the COVID-19 outbreak made it challenging to reach the target people of the survey.

Abstract In 1999, Petroleum Development Oman LLC (PDO) obtained ISO 14001 certification for all its production and service operations. PDO was the first major E&amp;P oil company in the Middle East to achieve the ISO 14001 certification. The certification process helped PDO to develop a culture of environmental awareness at all level, which has started providing positive returns in environmental performance. In addition, the certification re-inforced PDOs already high reputation in the country as a environmentally responsible operator. After the certification, PDO was seen as a pioneer both at local and regional scale, with peer companies consulting PDO on achieving higher standards in environmental management.

Abstract We compare the development of Sustainable (Green) Supply in three regions of the world, the countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) in the Middle East, six countries in Europe, and six countries in Latin America, which were selected based on their Logistics Performance Index over a 10-year period. We based our empirical analysis on UN SDGs concerned with clean energy, innovation, sustainable communities, and climate action (SDGs 7, 9, 11, and 13, respectively). Using a modified RAM-DEA model, our results showed high logistics performance but significant divergence in green logistics performance among GCC countries. Countries in Western Europe led in terms of inputs that result in green outputs. Strong contenders in green supply chains include the UAE, Oman, México, Panamá, and Ecuador.

The use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) has grown to cover various disciplines. The ability to use big data and geoprocessing tools allowed many sectors to use spatial data analysis and modeling for more effective decision-making and increased productivity. The use of GIS has become even more vital in the field of environmental planning and management, where incorporating environmental information contributes significantly to sustainable development. In addition, the ability to use spatial modeling at small-scale local or large-scale regional levels will broaden the knowledge of the direct and indirect impacts of development projects on the environment. This paper assesses the role played by GIS in Oman for generating information to gain insight into the many environmental challenges faced by the country toward more sustainable development. It provides an overview of what has been achieved, the approaches taken, and the way forward.

There is an urgent need to build sustainable models to predict future in oil and gas sector to accommodate and respond to the short-term pressures. One of the main issues in petroleum companies is the concept of sustainability interpreted in a multitude of different ways. Numerous frameworks have been presented to assess sustainability, but there is no agreement on a common set of criteria for analysis, investigation, modelling and assessment. A framework of sustainability in oil and gas industry was built and investigated on two important levels: micro-level and macro-level. The micro-level was proposed to evaluate sustainable index in an individual petroleum company and macro-level was suggested to assess sustainable index in the whole oil and gas sector. Practical indicators have been suggested, developed and evaluated to assess sustainability indexes. An implementation of the suggested framework was applied through three big petroleum companies in Sultanate of Oman. The results show that some companies had sustainable indices of more importance than others.

The recent drop in oil prices has leads Oman, a country with an oil dependent economy, to consider new sustainable policies and attitudes. The Sultanate’s five-year plan (2011-2015) began the development of renewable energy and environmental protection. One of the state’s approaches was hosting the National Eco-House Design contest in 2011 between higher educational institutions. However, disseminating the eco-house concept will take decades to be effective. This commentary argues for the potential of the Smart -Eco home to provide a quick and effective solution to support the present nationwide policy of promoting more sustainable practices. Based on relevant literature review, a questionnaire was written, and interviews were conducted with high ranking government policymakers and directors of smart home companies. The paper aims to draw the attention of the government, experts, decision-makers, and educational institutions to integrate the Smart – Eco house into their efforts towards efficient building energy performance, supporting the national economy, energy infrastructure, and part of the country’s environmentally sustainable policies.

The purpose of this study was to examine the components of change management and their impact on attaining sustainable development objectives. The researcher used a descriptive approach and a questionnaire to achieve this objective. It was evaluated on a sample of (300) government employees. The results indicated the following: In varying degrees, all aspects of change management have a substantial impact on sustainable development. After the change in tasks and after the change in structure, two axes were ranked as the most important. The axis first appeared after the technological shift, and then again after the organizational culture shift. The study also demonstrated that there are numerous obstacles to achieving human development objectives through change management. The administration of Oman is committed to long-term expansion. Among these are the unwillingness of senior leadership to adapt some antiquated processes in some government sector institutions and the lack of diversity in human resource specialties among government sector employees. Through the implementation of certain legislative initiatives and close attention to them, the study recommends that administrative leaders pay close attention to the dimensions of change management in light of current circumstances as one of the most powerful forms of influence.

Across the world, people are highly concerned with environmental matters, while worries about risks and threats continue. In recent decades, environmental concerns have drawn more international and national attention, particularly, the green economy, an area of environmental awareness that aims to reduce environmental risks and ecological scarcities, fostering sustainable development without degrading the environment. The present study investigated green economy awareness among the higher education students in Oman in general and Sultan Qaboos University (SQU) in particular to assess their knowledge, attitudes and practice regarding the green economy. Data were collected via a structured questionnaire that was delivered to all students of the nine university colleges. The descriptive data analysis revealed that most respondents were aware of the concept of the green economy. While general knowledge and awareness about the concept were generally satisfactory, there were still some misconceptions and a lack of knowledge about some other themes. Statistical tools such as the Chi-square test, WAS and factor analysis were used to analyse any differences in the perception of male and female respondents as well as college background and majors.

This study is probably the first of its kind to explore the potential and challenges of developing a clean energy transition through sustainable exploration and the use of lithium in Oman’s mining industry. This study explains how growing energy and environmental concerns significantly intensify interest in electric vehicles and hybrid electric vehicles, consequently increasing the demand for lithium exploration and production. Whereas Umm as Samim and Mahout are usually identified as major resources for a potential lithium commodity, this study uses statistical data from Oman’s National Center of Statistics and Information (NCSI) to determine the quantity and value of salt, lithium production, and sales to assess their commercial viability. The findings reveal that Oman has huge potential for lithium exploitation and production, considering the enormous quantities of spodumene and seawater salt with high-grade lithium available, developing efficient regulations and rules to protect investors’ rights, and reducing the environmental risks associated with the production and recycling of lithium-ion batteries. The realization of this potential cannot be attained until serious challenges in the country’s regulations, environmental hazards, and investment strategy are overcome. This study concludes by offering some practical and policy implications.
