Building Rural Community Resilience Through Innovation and Entrepreneurship
Drawing from empirical analyses, case studies, and a synthesis of best practices, this book explores how innovation manifests itself in rural places and how it contributes to entrepreneurial development and resilience.Innovation in rural places may come about as a result of new forms of collaboration; policies that leverage rural assets and address critical service or product gaps; novel strategies for accessing financial capital; infusion of arts into aspects of community life; and cultivation of networks that bridge entrepreneurs, organizations, and institutions.The chapters illustrate how a number of innovation-related characteristics relate to economic vibrancy in rural places such as a strong connection to the arts, adaptive and sustainable use of natural resources, value-chain integrated food systems, robust bridging social capital networks, creative leveraging of technology, and presence of innovation-focused entrepreneurs.Through exploration of these and other topics, this book will provide insights and best practices for rural community and economic development scholars and practitioners seeking to strengthen the rural innovation ecosystem.

Everyday Life-Environmentalism : Community Sustainability and Resilience in Asia
This book provides one of the first systematic introductions to the Japanese concept of life-environmentalism, Seikatsu-Kankyo Shugi.This concept emerged in the 1980s as a shared research framework among Japanese social scientists studying the adverse consequences of postwar industrialization on everyday life in communities. Life-environmentalism offers a lens through which the agency of small communities in sustaining their everyday life and living environment can be understood.The book provides an overview of this approach, including intellectual backgrounds and foundational concepts, along with a variety of empirical case studies that examine environmental and sustainability issues in Japan and other parts of Asia.It also includes critical reflections on the approach in light of contemporary sustainability challenges.The empirical topics covered in the book include local community responses to development projects, resource governance, disaster response and recovery, and historical environmental preservation.The chapters are contributed by researchers working at the forefront of the field.It provides only a glimpse into the vast literature that awaits further exploration and engagement in the future. The book is suitable for upper undergraduate students, graduate students, and researchers interested in environmental problems, sustainability and resilience, disaster mitigation and response, and regional development in Asian contexts, particularly Japan.It is well-suited for courses in anthropology, geography, sociology, urban and regional planning, political science, Asian studies, and environmental studies.

Technology and Assessment: the Tale of Two Interpretations
Together, the words technology and assessment have different meaning for different people.Those who work with educational or instructional technology take these words to mean assessing the impacts of technology on teaching and learning.Test developers and psychometricians, however, consider ways in which computer-based technologies can be used to enhance current approaches to student assessment.This book examines technology and assessment from both perspectives by examining past, current and promising methodologies and applications in both fields.The influences instructional uses of technology and the increasing reliance on testing to gauge student and school performance have on one another are also explored.The book concludes by describing an organizational structure that could bring instructional applications of technology and assessment practices into closer alignment.

Technology Choice Model for Consequential Life Cycle Assessment
Consequential Life Cycle Assessment (CLCA) aims at capturing the environmental consequences of decisions such as the introduction of a new technology, the implementation of a policy, or the purchase of a product.CLCA combines technical and economic modeling approaches to track the consequences of decisions throughout the economy, considering both technical relationships within industrial production systems and market-mediated effects.However, although CLCA is well defined at a conceptual level, a commonly accepted modeling framework for CLCA is still missing, leading to wide differences in CLCA practice. To promote the systematization of the CLCA approach, this thesis proposes a comprehensive modeling framework for CLCA: the Technology Choice Model (TCM).Compared to existing approaches, TCM captures market-mediated effects in multiple markets at a substantially higher level of technical detail, while systematically considering constraints in factor availability, uncertainty, and suboptimal decisions.Due to its higher level of technical detail, TCM can model changes in technology mixes through both capacity adaptions and substitution effects among competing technologies.These changes in technology mixes are shown to substantially affect the CLCA results in two illustrative case studies on the introduction of new technologies and climate policy.Furthermore, the consideration of uncertainties and suboptimal decisions provides the basis for a first comprehensive uncertainty assessment in CLCA. The practical application of TCM is demonstrated in a large-scale industrial case study on novel Carbon Capture and Utilization (CCU) technologies in the chemical industry.These technologies use carbon dioxide from industrial point sources or ambient air as alternative carbon feedstock for chemical production.The case study shows that CCU in the chemical industry can reduce up to 3.5 Gt CO2-eq greenhouse gas emissions per year by 2030 and highlights potential barriers for CCU implementation.The results provide a strong scientific basis for the integration of CCU into international policy frameworks and research agendas.The application of TCM in this case study demonstrates the ability of CLCA to provide sound environmental decision support.
