Aim
To identify and assess the factors which determine the success or failure of the
adopted by industrial activities which contribute to
environmental management approaches
urban sustainable development

6. Research Objectives

13. Is it possible to evaluate the chief commonalities and differences in the way industrial waste management options have been adopted in different cities?
Method: Case Study
Pilot case in the UK : Preston
Positive case, Negative case and Average case in China

15. Main Case Study Methods
Quantitative data collection
Site survey
Questionnaires
Interviews

Main Case Study Methods

18. Main Comparative Points
Management Organisation Structure
Management tools to encourage industrial waste reduction
Development of ecological industrial park
Implementation of urban waste management plan
Financial support from city government
Amount of people (especially management staff) who knows waste management very well

19. Some Initial Ideas Education of waste management employees
Coherence of planning and waste management strategy
Encourage of better practice (e.g. performing waste analyses and inspections)
providing employee training, addressing public concerns,
maintaining important records and statistical data
………..
