As cities expand and indulge in construction to accommodate more people, the question of dealing with construction and demolition waste becomes increasingly critical ...

The need for better natural resource use is currently increasingly recognised, and high emphasis is given to the circularity of building materials and the reduction of activities with negative environmental impact. Legislation, guidelines, and other documentation play an important role in improving demolition activities and construction and demolition waste (CDW) management. Good practices in CDW handling is not achievable without knowledge about CDW recovery techniques described in guidelines and other documents. Demolition activities in arctic regions could be more challenging due to harsh climate conditions, and therefore the cooperation between Russia, Norway and Finland was established to boost the uptake of good practices in demolition activities and CDW management. The main subject of this article is an overview of presently used demolition practices, CDW management, and verification of areas where practices with lower environmental impact and increase of material circularity could be utilised. Two fundamental documents, namely "EU Construction & Demolition Waste Management Protocol" and "Guidelines for the waste audits before demolition and renovation works of buildings" [1, 2], were published by the European Union (EU) in 2019 and serve as a foundation for changes in demolition activities and CDW management in EU and adventitiously also in the Russian Federation and Norway.

Today's modern development puts the area of heritage in the classic dilemma in the management area of heritage between conservation and development of modernity. This study aims to examine how the form of demolition that occurs in architecture at the Kesawan District. Using a qualitative descriptive method through interpretative criticism evocative then this study identifying the model of demolition objects architectural heritage in the Kesawan District. This study revealed and indicating the existence of a variant form of demolition model issues are amputation, inactivity, redesign, masking/facelift, visual blurring and architecture sprawl.

Abstract The need for better natural resource use is currently increasingly recognised, and high emphasis is given to the circularity of building materials and the reduction of activities with negative environmental impact. Legislation, guidelines, and other documentation play an important role in improving demolition activities and construction and demolition waste (CDW) management. Good practices in CDW handling is not achievable without knowledge about CDW recovery techniques described in guidelines and other documents. Demolition activities in arctic regions could be more challenging due to harsh climate conditions, and therefore the cooperation between Russia, Norway and Finland was established to boost the uptake of good practices in demolition activities and CDW management. The main subject of this article is an overview of presently used demolition practices, CDW management, and verification of areas where practices with lower environmental impact and increase of material circularity could be utilised. Two fundamental documents, namely "EU Construction & Demolition Waste Management Protocol" and "Guidelines for the waste audits before demolition and renovation works of buildings" [1, 2], were published by the European Union (EU) in 2019 and serve as a foundation for changes in demolition activities and CDW management in EU and adventitiously also in the Russian Federation and Norway.

"Due to the increase in construction activities worldwide and in Australia, the generation rate of construction and demolition (C&D) waste has significantly grown in recent years. In Australia, construction projects (i.e. housing, buildings and transport infrastructure) are being delivered at an unprecedented rate. Between 2009 and 2019, the annual average growth rate in this industry was 3.33%. The industry is identified as the fourth largest contributor to Australia's growth domestic product (GDP). Unsurprisingly, this quantity of construction brings about a considerable quantity of waste. In 2019, the construction industry generated 27 million tons (or megatonnes) of waste from construction and demolition activities in Australia. Given the size of the construction market and waste generated in this industry, any change will create huge impacts. The adequate management of such a quantity has now become a priority for policymakers around the world. A holistic national approach is required to handle the growing issue of C&D waste management in Australia. Therefore, this book identifies discrepancies and inconsistencies related to C&D waste management in different Australian jurisdictions. The included chapters discuss regulations governing the C&D waste stream, discrepancies in defining waste, Australia's place in the worldwide C&D waste market, opportunities for reducing C&D waste, and the perception among C&D waste stakeholders on relevant issues and proposed reforms, among other topics. Overall, the book contributes to the Australian understanding of effective management of C&D waste by providing a clear picture of C&D waste state of play. The book can benefit policymakers and whoever is interested in C&D waste to better plan for innovative and efficient C&D waste resulting in the further diversion of C&D waste from landfills"--

David Bacon captures the eviction of an unhoused encampment, exposing the bones of capitalism.

SELF-OWNERSHIP IS THE MORAL PRINCIPLE THAT ONE OUGHT TO BE LEFT FREE TO DO WHATEVER ONE CHOOSES SO LONG AS NON-CONSENTING OTHER PERSONS ARE NOT THEREBY HARMED, IN SPECIFIED WAYS. THE PRINCIPLE IS FOUNDATIONAL FOR ONE TRADITION OF POLITICAL LIBERALISM RUNNING FROM LOCKE TO NOZICK. THIS PAPER AIMS FIRST TO CLARIFY THIS PRINCIPLE, IN PART BY CONTRASTING IT WITH A KINDRED PRINCIPLE OF 'SELF-BENEFIT', AND SECONDLY TO DEVELOP ITS IMPLICATIONS FOR JUSTIFIED PRIVATE PROPERTY OWNERSHIP. THESE IMPLICATIONS ARE MORE MEAGRE THAN IS USUALLY SUPPOSED. THE PRINCIPLE IS INDETERMINATE IN WAYS THAT UNDERMINE ITS CLAIM TO ADEQUACY. FINALLY, FURTHER REASONS FOR REJECTING THE SELF-OWNERSHIP PRINCIPLE ARE SUGGESTED.
