The Journal of Industrial technical education environment and sustainable development is a peer-reviewed journal for the publication of original research related to managing environmental systems and improving environmental quality. All papers submitted to the journal must show a distinctive link with Sustainable Development in architecture, construction, industrial technical education, and environmental management applications.
As governments and the general public become more keenly aware of the critical issues arising from how humans use their environment, this journal provides a forum for the discussion of environmental problems around the world and for the presentation of management results. It is aimed not only at architects, industrial technologists, and environmental managers but at anyone concerned with the sustainable use of environmental resources.
Specific areas of interest for the journal include:
- Vocational and industrial technical education
- Environment and sustainable development in architecture engineering and construction
- Development of technologies intended for applications to environmental ecosystems (water, air, soil)
- Natural resource management
- Management and valorisation of waste (including industrial residues and effluents)
- Development of methods for environmental quality management (new procedures, characterization techniques, monitoring methods, governing standards, etc.)
- Environmental system modeling and optimization
- Environmental analysis and assessment (environmental impact assessment, risk assessment, life cycle analysis, material flow analysis, life cycle costing, emission accounting, etc.)
- Social, economic, and policy aspects of environmental management
The journal does not accept manuscripts exclusively focused on any of the following aspects:
- Simulations/modeling, where predominantly oriented to mathematical issues;
- Reactions/process studies, where predominantly oriented to chemistry issues without an environmental viewpoint;
- Products/waste recycling research when broad sustainable environmental management aspects are not properly accounted
- Materials synthesis without clear environmental management applications
