Professional sport leagues are both commercial products and public products. As China’s sports leagues transition from state-governed properties to a more commercial model, professional sports are facing a crucial turning point on balancing stakeholders pertaining to its commercial/market value and social value. How to develop a sustainable business and management model of professional sports teams, fitting Chinese culture and the calls on free economy, has become a major challenge to scholars, practitioners and entrepreneurs in China’s sport industry. Every organisation has its relationships with many groups ("stakeholders") that affect and are affected by its decisions, which are dynamic in a constantly changing world. Stakeholder theory was developed through concerns regarding the nature of these relationships in terms of both processes and outcomes for both organisation and stakeholders, and the changing nature of the environment.

The purpose of this study was to analyze trends in sustainable fashion research and to guide its the development by examining previous research projects conducted by the UK Centre for Sustainable Fashion. A literature review and case studies were conducted from which the following results were identified. It was shown that the CSF has cooperated with fashion, arts and technology businesses and other external organizations. The CSF has contributed to improving the economic durability of the fashion industry, the convergence of both local and the international fashion communities, and the development of cultural sustainability. Moreover, it incorporates various academic fields into its research and has developed advanced researching methods for sustainable fashion. The CSF has embraced the new perspectives by utilizing student ideas for the development of sustainable fashion. The conclusions of this study are as follows. First, the CSF studied the sustainability of fashion from a more organic perspective through multidisciplinary research. Second, it has expanded the possibility of sustainable fashion research through research formats, research fields and research operations. Finally, it has evoked values and responsibilities that the fashion industry should pursue in modern society and has become an exemplary case of sustainable fashion research, providing creative studies for sustainable fashion research in the future.

That language plays a pivotal and integral role in making political processes participatory and inclusive, and socioeconomic development sustainable has been commonsensically presumed to be a well-established fact. Language is not simply a means of mutual communication, but also a potent tool for social inclusion and exclusion, resulting in having both a positive and negative social impact. In this sense the use of African languages in all social domains for making sure of the concretization of inclusive political participation and representation as well as sustainable socioeconomic development. Despite being considered to be an exemplary country that has pursued an active endoglosic language policy, Tanzania has an uphill task in facilitating participatory democracy and sustainable socioeconomic development by virtue of the ease of language understanding with which people can make them understood in everyday life. What is imperatively needed in making participatory democracy and sustainable socioeconomic development possible and feasible is a strong political will and its implementation. In tandem with a strong political will and its implementation in the conduct of national affairs, a ceaseless and concerted effort needs to be made with a view to capacitating Swahili to make a meaningful contribution to participatory democracy and sustainable socioeconomic development. Furthermore, corpus planning that refers to an institutional effort for creating standards for Swahili has to be done.

Maritime sector has played a critical role for the growth and development of the Malaysia in facilitating global trade. Malaysia rely on the sector for the import and export of goods as around 90% of the nation trade is carried through maritime transportation. Although there are increasing in trade performance, Malaysian maritime industry is still facing a hard times to safeguard Malaysia's economic interests and to retain its competitive advantage as a leading maritime nation. Therefore, this paper aims to identify, analyses and evaluate the factors that influencing Malaysian maritime industry in remaining sustainable in global trade. In order to explain how the influencing factors affect the Malaysian maritime industry, a systematic hierarchical structure was developed. Then, by employed Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) technique, the priorities among various criteria was determined through the judgments of experts using a set of scales. The results of this study will assist the shipping entities to cope with those challenges and for Malaysia maritime sector to remain a key enabler of international trade.

The manner in which education will be delivered in the 21st-century has often been debated. Various literature has agreed that an interactive teaching and learning method is required in parallel with the emergence and development of cyber technology. The conventional method of teaching should be reconstituted to emphasize aspects associated with innovation and creativity in attracting the attention of students in learning. Despite the current Malaysian education emphasize the learning features that include 1) Creative thinking, 2) Critical thinking, 3) Collaboration, 4) Character and 5) Communication. However, 21st-century approach requires exposure, skills, and creativity to be implemented by the Malaysian educators. Therefore, the aim of this study is to propose a new maritime interactive teaching model towards a Sustainable Development Goals (SGDs) and industrial revolution 4.0. Three (3) secondary schools around Terengganu in Malaysia were chosen to participate in a pilot case study. The results of the study found that more than 90% of students now understand more about the maritime industry based on their acquired knowledge and education in this area. While, more than 70% of students described that this method of teaching is appealing. Maritime education innovative learning through an interactive learning model was successfully achieved based on the findings of this study, called the ‘Mariner’s Fantasy’. Additionally, through the inspirations of IR 4.0 and the Malaysia Education Development Plan, 2013-2025, the study has demonstrated the usefulness of the Maritime Education Innovative Learning (MEIL) program through an interactive learning method, in enhancing the delivery of maritime education by adopting an effective teaching-based approach.

건강가정지원센터와 다문화가족지원센터로 이원화되어 분리ㆍ운영해왔던 가족서비스 전달 체계는 정부의 국민 대통합이라는 사회통합의 기조 하에 두 센터의 통합을 추진하는 방향으로 재편 중에 있다. 그런데 현재 ‘건강가정다문화가족지원센터’로 칭하는 통합센터는 아직 법적 제도가 마련되지 않은 상태에서 기존의 건강가정기본법, 다문화가족지원법에 근거한 가족복지사업을 수행하고 있으며, 건강가정기본계획과 다문화가족정책 기본계획을 토대로 정책과 연계하여 서비스를 진행하고 있다. 이렇게 사업방향과 법제도에 대한 행정체계가 일원화되지 않은 상태에서 센터통합이 먼저 추진되고 있어서 현장에서의 어려움이 발생하고 있다. 정부주도의 통합전략이 실효성을 거두려면 실질적으로 통합가족사업을 수행하고 있는 현장의 목소리가 중요하다. 이에 통합가족사업을 운영하고 있는 종사자들을 대상으로 심층면접을 실시하고 그 자료를 수집ㆍ분석하였다. 인식적인 측면, 행정업무적인 측면, 조직적인 측면, 법ㆍ제도 적인 측면, 명칭적인 측면, 사업적인 측면, 인력적인 측면으로 세분화시켜 분석한 제언이 정책에 반영되어 지속가능한 가족지원서비스 통합센터로 거듭나기를 바란다.

생물의 특징적인 서식공간을 나타내는 비오톱은 도시생 태계의 효율적 조성 및 지속가능한 관리를 위해 필수적으로 파악되어야 한다. 본 연구는 우리나라의 대표적 공업도시인 포항시 전역에 성립한 비오톱 유형과 그 속성을 분석 하여 이 도시를 생태적으로 관리하기 위한 기초자료를 제공하고자 수행하였다. 포항시에 성립한 비오톱 유형은 삼림 (침엽수림, 활엽수림 및 침·활 혼합림), 경작지 (논과 밭), 시설녹지 (조경수목식재지), 하천, 저수지, 나지, 주거지역, 공공시설, 상업지역, 공업지역, 도로 및 학교의 12개 유형 으로 구분되었다. 비오톱 유형에 따른 속성을 분석한 결과, 도시지역을 대표하는 공업지역, 주거지역 및 상업지역에는 제한된 공간에 주로 도입된 식생이 존재하였다. 더구나 그 식생은 지역과 지소의 특성을 반영하는 자생종 보다는 조경 및 원예용으로 개발된 식물들 중심으로 이루어져 있다. 생산녹지는 도심으로부터 거리에 따라 먼 곳에는 전형적인 농경지의 형태를 나타내었지만, 인접한 곳에서 는 시설농업의 형태를 나타내었다. 자연녹지는 하천을 따라 성립한 수변식생과 산림식생으로 구분되었다. 그 중 산 림식생은 이차림 (7개 군락)과 조림지 (3개 군락)로 이루어졌다. 포항시의 도시생태계는 공업지역이 차지하는 면적이 넓고, 그 중 열오염과 이산화탄소 발생량이 높은 철강산업이 주를 이루고 있다. 반면에 녹지는 양과 질 양면에서 모두 매우 부족하다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 문제를 종합적으로 검토한 후 이 지역의 생태적 질을 높이기 위한 방안으로 녹지의 양과 질을 개선할 수 있는 식생 복원방안 및 기존 녹지와 복원 예정 녹지를 묶어내는 녹지축 네트워크화 방안을 제시하였다.

This research identifies the types of relationship asymmetry within sustainable fashion supply chains and the role of relationship asymmetry in sustainable product development in fashion supply chains in the UK. This research that is based on supply chain experiences of experts highlighted that how relational asymmetries hinder sustainable product development in fashion supply chains, but also how sustainable behaviours, values and policies help to overcome the influence of relational asymmetry in sustainable product development process.
