One of the goals Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) is to conserve natural resources, such as water, soil, air, and others. Poorly treated industrial effluents discharged into nearby water streams contribute pollution. This problem notably worse among small- medium-scale industries, local batik industry, which cannot afford proper costly wastewater treatment facilities in their premises. Batik...

Understanding the factors that affect residents’ environmental conservation behaviors help in managing the environment of tourist sites. This research provides an integrative understanding of how residents near tourist sites form their environmental conservation behaviors by merging the norm-activation model and cognitive-affective model into one theoretical framework. Results of the structural...

Farmers' perception of the environmental impacts of modern agricultural technology diffusion and factors determining such awareness were examined using survey data from 21 villages in three agro-ecological regions of Bangladesh. Results reveal that farmers are well aware of the adverse environmental impacts of modern agricultural technology, although their awareness remains confined within visi...

As environmental monitoring systems increasingly automate the collection and processing of environmental sensor network data, the technical components of such systems can automatically obtain and maintain higher levels of situation awareness—awareness of the monitored part of reality. In order to increase confidence in the correctness of situation awareness maintained by such systems it is impo...

In order for autonomous mobile robots to survive in the real world they have to be aware of the environment. The self-assembling micro robots developed in the European project Replicator are destined for such a task. By using several modalities, these robots must be able to detect and recognize interesting objects in the environment. This thesis presents a biologically inspired cognitive sensor...
