Abstract:
The current economic, social, political and natural systems are in crisis, whether related to Covid – 19, biodiversity or climate change, we are all in it together. However, as Karl Marx already noted in his time, we have been alienating ourselves from things as well as from ourselves and each other through the capitalist system (Crotty, 2003, pp. 121-122). As such, we have to re-connect with things, each other, and nature again, in order to restore the relationship with those systems and ourselves on a short- and long-term basis. However, over the last decades, it seems to be difficult to operationalize the notion of sustainable development into clear policies, especially related to its values and ethics.
Title: From a smoke-free policy to an end of waste proposal at the University of Milano-Bicocca
Biography:
Massimiliano Rossetti is sustainability specialist at the University of Milano-Bicocca. He is an urban sociologist with particular attention to mobility analysis and the socio-urban structure of the territory with the use of GIS tools. Its fields of interest and study concern the field of sustainability: from waste to mobility and from food policy to life quality in urban societies. He also cooperates in the field of air quality and climate change with the researcher’s team of the POLARIS Research Center - Department of Environmental Sciences at the University of Milano-Bicocca. He is member of the Italian University Network for Sustainable Development (RUS), International Sustainable Campus Network and the Italian Interdisciplinary Committee on Waste and Health (CIRS).
Abstract:
The sustainability team of the University of Milano-Bicocca promotes healthy life style for students and staff. Starting from 2019, the University introduced a Smoke-free policy within the whole campus in order to avoid littering phenomena and preserve the students and staff wellbeing. Coherently to the prohibition, few smoking areas have been settled far from the entrances in order to let to the smokers a delimitated space. These smoking areas have been equipped with benches and ballot bins with the scope to attract smokers and keep streets clean.

Title: Environmentally friendly sustainable schools
Biography:
"The Mediterranean Forum of Tetouan for SDGS" and winner of the INTERSTELLARS International Award as Best Global Community Lead!
Abstract:
Among the global experiences worth standing before is the Japanese experience contained in what is known as the "Tokatsu" educational system, which was dealt with in detail by a recent report entitled "The World of Tokatsu", issued by the University of Tokyo, indicating that it is a system in which classroom and non-classroom fields and activities that aim to develop feeling With the group and the responsibility of students towards society and the surrounding school environment, and achieving balanced development between the social, environmental and academic aspects, so that students accumulate experiences and skills, from the early stages of their education, so that they are highly endowed with a balanced and integral human personality.
Title: The Effectiveness of Sustainable development in Design
Biography:
Dr.Ali Hamood Twaij expertise in Sustainable Design. In 2016 wrote a thesis (Sustainability of Smart Fabrics in Interior Environment Designs) also a Member of the committee to creation the Sustainability Research Center on 04/15-2019 in kufa university, I built this research after years of experience in Design ,research, evaluation, teaching and administration both in Architecture office and Kufa University.
Abstract:
The concept of sustainability is no longer a new or innovative term, or limited to design, architecture, or arts, but rather a concept whose body has been the traditional thought of man in various parts of the world since ancient times through the spontaneous experimental compatibility interconnected with the environment and the efficient exploitation of natural environment resources according to a rapid development of experience over the years It is a word of Latin origins that means (to hold up) a chain of transmission from the bottom, so society is supported from below by its inhabitants at the present time and in the future according to the Greek concept, and the site carries certain physical, cultural and spiritual attributes with which sustainability deals with, and thus means the continuity of interaction between society and the system Environmental.
Title: Prediction of environmental indicators in land levelling using artificial intelligence techniques
Biography:
Alzoubi has completed his PhD at the age of 40 years Tehran University and postdoctoral studies from Tehran University School of Surveying Geospatial Engineering-Department of Surveying and Geomatics Engineering. He is the director at the Directorate of Engineering and Transportation, a premier service organization. He has published more than 15 papers in reputed journals and has been serving as an editorial board member of repute. He Opening and studying the financial offers and the organization of the fundamental record, supervising the efficiency of electrical generators at Nseeb border center, and Supervising the efficiency of agricultural machinery at the ministry of agriculture.
Abstract:
The aim of this work was to determine best linear model Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) and Sensitivity Analysis in order to predict the energy consumption for land leveling. In this research effects of various soil properties such as Embankment Volume, Soil Compressibility Factor, Specific Gravity, Moisture Content, Slope, Sand Percent, and Soil Swelling Index in energy consumption were investigated. The study was consisted of 90 samples were collected from 3 different regions.
