Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SUDS) represent a paradigm shift in stormwater management, offering holistic solutions to urban water challenges. This review examines SUDS principles, design strategies, effectiveness and barriers to implementation. SUDS prioritize infiltration and mimic natural hydrological processes to reduce flood risk, impro...

In the majority of nations, environmental sustainability is an integral aspect of government policies, highlighting the criticality of equipping upcoming engineers with the necessary environmental awareness and skills to tackle this complex challenge. Higher education institutions assume a pivotal role in fulfilling this mission as their engineerin...

Socioeconomic factors are increasingly considered in the study of forest fires. However, there is a gap in the literature on the possible relationship between basic services and infrastructures such as small rural schools and forest fires. Population decline in rural areas is leading to an increase in forest fire risk and social vulnerability to fo...

This study assesses the adoption and operational effectiveness of Environmental Management Systems (EMSs) in Italian wineries, focusing on ISO 14001:2015. It evaluates commitment, planning, communication strategies, emergency preparedness, and employee training practices. Using a comprehensive survey-based methodology, the research elucidates the d...

The primary goal is to create a comprehensive sustainability evaluation method for wineries, incorporating performance indicators from FS and EM components. The methodology involves assessing Food Safety Management Systems (FSMSs), evaluating Environmental Management Systems (EMSs), investigating contamination risks, and synthesizing results into a...

Human health hazards appear in wine production. Wineries have implemented food safety management systems to control food hazards through Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP). Wine-making industry applies HACCP by evaluating Critical Control Points (CCPs). One of the CCPs that exhibits inadequate control is the potential contamination risk...

Creativity and innovation are highly significant proficiencies in the contemporary labor market, especially due to the swift advancements in technology and the globalizing world that are altering the manner in which businesses function. The capability to think imaginatively and originate new ideas is increasingly becoming a valuable asset across va...

SUDS were initially conceived for mimicking hydrological original conditions of urban catchments. SUDS have been strongly promoted by public and private decision-makers around the world. Public perception has been previously addressed by different studies many studies in a disconnected manner and at different planes. Similarly, the social benefits...

Wine production has food safety hazards. A Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) system makes it possible to identify, evaluate, and control significant food safety hazards throughout the wine production process. The Prerequisites Programs (PPRs) and HACCP performance in Protected Denomination of Origin "Vinos de Madrid" wineries were anal...

A survey was conducted to this sample in the last quarter of 2021. The collected data were analyzed with statistical methods using SPSS for Windows software (version 27.0, 2020, IBM). Frequencies and central position values were calculated for all variables. Kruskal-Wallis non-parametric test and contingency table were carried out.

A survey was conducted to the wineries sample in the last quarter of 2021. First section consisted of seven questions related to the annual red wine production and the PPRs implementation. First question identified the winery size according to its red wine annual production. Five groups were made according to PDO “Vinos de Madrid” wineries annual r...

Rural development in the south-west of the Madrid Region has been based on the Leader II European Initiative. The demographic characteristics of the territory and the geographical perimeter chosen are essential elements for the design of the regional development program. The development program contains the specific and operational objectives that...

Traditionally, the role of technical teams has been to draft, implement and monitor development programs, without, generally, the opinions and contributions of the population itself. Despite the multiple efforts made in recent decades, investing large amounts for the drafting and execution of projects, there has been a dissatisfaction within the pr...

The crisis of employment and agricultural activity, the depopulation and emigration of young people, the isolation and disappearance of basic services to the population, the degradation of the historical and cultural heritage of the municipalities are problems that greatly affect the rural world. Therefore, there is a decrease in the quality of lif...

The document aims to reflect on the different interpretations of the so-called "environmental projects" in rural development programs, since the factors of the physical environment are fundamental if what is sought in the projects developed is the real optimum, even if it is difficult to achieve (Ramos, 1979). Specifically, it is analyzed how these...
