Based on the analysis and synthesis of inter-component and inter-landscape correlation, considering deep roots of pericontinental dichotomy, orographic, climatic, and phyto-vegetative factors, the nature is reflected as an average-scale model of Sakhalin Oblast. It includes individual landscapes, types, kinds, subclasses, classes, districts, provinces and territories. The regional landscape differentiation and organization of the natural environment was mapped at the scale of 1: 500,000. The obtained data can be used for a multistage analysis of correlations among landscape geosystems different in scale (global, regional, local) and structure. On the whole, the organized system is a basic model aimed at various natural interrelations in the Sakhalin Oblast in Pacific pericontinental landscape belt. Application of this kind of geosystem model through the landscape method and on condition of continuing geosystem studies is of great potential for solving of numerous various tasks, including nature use, environmental, management, forecasting etc.

The subject. The article is devoted to analysis of the basic models of criminal law and the impact of victim’s legal status on the criminal legal theory.The purpose of the paper is to substantiate the existence and the importance of “criminal law of victim” as basic model of criminal legal theory.The methodological basis of the research includes general-scientific methods (analysis and synthesis, system-structural approach) as well as academic methods (formal-legal method, method of interpretation of legal texts).Results and scope of application. The definition of the role of the victim, the importance of his legitimate interests in the implementation of criminal liability is complicated by the fact that the basic models of criminal law developed by science – “criminal law of the offender” and “criminal law of the crime” – do not consider the victim as a subject of criminal legal relations.The theoretical models of criminal law are embodied in the criminal law, specific legal rela-tions, law enforcement acts, etc., in connection with which there are specific indicators – the parameters by which it is possible to determine which model of criminal law is implemented.If the question of the criminal legal personality of the victim is controversial, in my opinion, there is no doubt that the victim is a party to the criminal law conflict, which often begins to unfold long before the crime.Conclusions. Recognizing the victim as a subject of criminal legal relations, as well as a par-ticipant in the criminal law conflict, it is possible to talk about the formation of a new model of criminal law – “the criminal law of victim”.

Mangrove area identically are slum because they are located in river estuaries with unplanned environmental management. Not so with the mangrove area at Gunung Anyar Tambak Surabaya. Women in this region actively carry out nature conservation and protect the environment so that they are well preserved. This research was conducted with the aim to find out how women interpret the triple bottom line concept as a pillar of Corporate Social Responsibility implemented by the National Electricity Company of East Java. Data was collected by FGD, interviews and also environmental observations. Phenomenology as a theory and also the method used in this study. Triple bottom line concept and Corporate Social Responsibility are used to analyse. The results of the study show that the meaning of women about the triple bottom line concept is a part of their daily lives that cannot be separated. The existence and absence of a Corporate Social Responsibility program from the National Electricity Company will make women in the mangrove area of Gunung Anyar Tambak continue to carry out environmental hygiene from garbage flowing in the river. Thus the triple bottom line pillar, namely planet (natural environment) is maintained and benefits profit (profit, second pillar) and this is an active awareness (people, third pillar) of women in the mangrove area of Gunung Anyar Tambak Surabaya.

Pollution is the introduction of contaminants into the natural environment that causes adverse change. One of the greatest problem that the world is facing today is that of environment pollution, increasing with every passing year and causing grave and irreparable damage to the earth. Environmental pollution consists of five basic types of pollutants namely air, water, soil, noise and light. The solution of pollution is dilution. Environmental pollution can be controlled by recycling, reusing, waste management, mitigating, preventing and by making compost. Environmental management using modern technology seems to be effective in pollution control.

It is difficult to overestimate the importance of agriculture, its effectiveness for the economic and socio-political sector of development of any state in the modern world. However, agriculture relies on the use of natural resources in its activities - land, soil, water, atmospheric air, forests and other vegetation. The quality of these natural components of the natural environment directly affects the functioning and productivity of agricultural organizations. Environmental pollution problems are complex problems of interaction between nature and man. To minimize environmental harm and the occurrence of dangerous environmental consequences, a model of environmental management is needed. For agricultural production environmental management issues are particularly specific since its productivity is directly related, first of all, to the state of the natural environment as consumption resources on the one hand, and the negative impact of agricultural activities on natural resources on the other. In this article the issues of legal regulation of the law of nature use in agricultural activities were investigated, the problems of regulatory support for the rational use of nature in agriculture were identified, and the directions for optimizing the legislative regulation of the use of natural resources for agricultural activities were determined.

El presente artículo analiza las importantes aportaciones de Adam Smith a la teoría del lenguaje. Identifica dos niveles argumentativos coordinados, el primero procedente de la lógica del análisis y la síntesis y el segundo procedente de una interpretación del lenguaje como una herramienta de adaptación y transformación social del entorno natural. Esto permite identificar una “hipótesis del desarrollo” del lenguaje, que evoluciona desde lo homogéneo desarticulado hasta lo heterogéneo articulado. A partir de aquí, se define la especificidad de la teoría del lenguaje de Smith entre los siglos XVIII y XIX, así como sus consecuencias estéticas y educativas. This article analyzes the important contributions of Adam Smith to the theory of language. It identifies two coordinated argumentative levels, the first coming from the logic of analysis and synthesis and the second coming from an interpretation of language as a tool for adaptation and social transformation of the natural environment. This allows identifying a language’s “development hypothesis”, which evolves from the disjointed homogeneous to the articulated heterogeneous. From here is defined the specificity of Smith’s theory of language, between the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, as well as its aesthetic and educational consequences.

Through an experiential, field-based investigative opportunity in the anthropology of climate change, this project introduced college and university students from the United States and Guinea-Bissau through active research encounters. This article examines one part of the larger project, perceptions of natural environment futures via 287 drawings collected by three United States-based undergraduate students from 145 college and university students and alumni (ages 18–53) in Bissau, Guinea-Bissau, West Africa. Guinea-Bissau is a climate change hotspot. This study’s specific focus was on how participants represent natural environmental change over time. Participants were asked to produce two drawings, one depicting their natural environment hundreds of years in the past (pre-European contact) and one representing their natural environment twenty years in the future. Using content analysis, descriptive statistics, Chi-squared test, and McNemar’s test, the study finds that (1a) participants’ depictions of the future contain statistically significantly more pollution, scarcity, deforestation, desertification, and less biodiversity than those in the past, and (1b) these depictions of environmental change hazards highly correlate; (2) participants draw the natural environment statistically significantly more in the past than in the future; (3a) women are statistically significantly more likely than men to draw environmental management in the past and future, and (3b) men are statistically significantly more likely than women to draw commercialization in the past and future; and (4) environmental sciences and teaching professionals are statistically significantly more likely than business professionals to draw environmental management in the past and future. The study found no differences in perceptions of the natural environment based on age, place of birth, or religion. Results indicate that people perceive real differences between their past and future natural environments, especially related to future environmental change hazards. Furthermore, gender and professional differences in participant drawings of environmental management suggest that women and non-business professionals are likely ecoallies. This concept is important from an applied perspective because through this research project, United States- and Guinea-Bissau-based undergraduate students and alumni are able to recognize in each other their shared advocacy capacities, acknowledge the systematic nature of the climate change problem, and establish a common cause around sustainable environmental management.

Purpose – This paper aims to review the main literature on the relationship between the natural environment and management in hospitality and tourism firms and uses strategic lenses to propose a general framework of previous works and a map for future research. Design/methodology/approach – A detailed collection of the most relevant literature on organizations and the natural environment in general is used, along with a specific compilation of the analysis in hospitality and tourism firms. The analytical comparison between the general studies and tourism literature provides opportunities for the discussion of research gaps. Findings – The growing volume of research on environmental management in the hospitality and tourism firms suggests increasing interest in the topic in the past decade. However, our analysis uses a strategic framework to identify multiple relevant topics that are due for exploration. The generation of more robust theoretical and empirical contributions should also be prioritized in the future. Research limitations/implications – The findings provide insight into the growing importance of environmental issues in multiple areas of hospitality and tourism firms, including corporate strategy (new green business and implications of the environmental issues on the attractiveness of traditional tourism activities), competitive business strategy (differentiation and reduction of costs through environmental management), functional strategy (eco-labels, certifications and environmental management systems), green marketing, responsible supply chain and training. Originality/value – While previous literature has emphasized the macro analysis of environmental challenges in the industry, this paper is one of the first to provide an analytical review of the literature on the natural environment and management of hospitality and tourism firms and will be particularly useful to better understand the organizational challenges.

The environmental management system according to PN-EN ISO 14001: 2015 [1] is a system whose message is to protect the natural environment. The environmental management system focuses mainly on reducing waste, possibilities and methods of waste disposal, pre-venting pollution, reducing the use of natural resources, and in the context of the transport industry, reducing emissions. The idea of the system is continuous improvement of activities related to the protection of the natural environment - through identification of threats, risk assessment and mobilization of enterprises to comply with the requirements of law in the field of environmental protection. For many years, the transport industry has been governed by its laws. However, with the changing market, where apart from large transport concerns, there are also small and micro companies providing transport services that also have an impact on the environment in individual parts of the transport industry. There are more and more entrepreneurs, both Polish and foreign, specializing in the transport industry, hence legal regulations, EU regulations and industry standards or standards aimed at reducing the impact of transport on the natural environment appear. It seems that as of today, mobilizing enterprises of various sizes to implement unified rules, reduce emissions, oversee waste, implement unified management systems, including environmental management systems, is the most effective method of impacting the improvement of environmental protection in this area.

Abstract: In recent years many new and modern buildings have emerged in Yogyakarta, on the other hand the existence of kampongs and the natural environment continues to decline, including local wisdom in managing the environment is increasingly abandoned. Kampung Gampingan as a "kampung kota" in the city of Yogyakarta, located on the riverside of the Winongo River. Kampong administrators and it’s citizen Gampingan cooperate to manage and maintain the quality of the kampong environment. For them, the aspect of environmental conservation is very important and considered because it aims to maintain harmonious relationships between humans and the natural environment. The purpose of this paper is to explore information about environmental management in kampong Gampingan, which involves citizens and consider the impact on the natural environment. The results show that community participation, partnerships with various parties (other communities, universities, government and private), and the role of facilitators are very important in the management of kampong based on local wisdom. Community participation is the key to the success or failure of kampong management based on local wisdom.Keywords: kampong management, community participation, local wisdomAbstrak: Dalam beberapa tahun akhir-akhir ini banyak bangunan baru dan modern muncul di Yogyakarta, pada sisi lain keberadaan kampung dan lingkungan alamiah terus berkurang, termasuk kearifan lokal dalam mengelola lingkungan semakin ditinggalkan. Kampung Gampingan termasuk “kampung kota” di kota Yogyakarta, terletak di tepi Sungai Winongo. Pengurus kampung dan warga kampung Gampingan bergotong-royong mengelola dan menjaga kualitas lingkungan kampung. Bagi mereka, aspek pelestarian lingkungan sangat penting dan diperhatikan sebab bertujuan menjaga hubungan harmonis manusia dan lingkungan alam. Tujuan tulisan ini adalah menggali informasi tentang pengelolaan lingkungan di kampung Gampingan, yang melibatkan warga dan mempertimbangkan dampak terhadap lingkungan alam. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa partisipasi masyarakat, kemitraan dengan berbagai pihak (komunitas lain, perguruan tinggi, pemerintah dan swasta), dan peran fasilitator sangat penting dalam pengelolaan kampung yang berbasis kearifan lokal. Peranserta masyarakat menjadi kunci keberhasilan atau kegagalan pengelolaan kampung berbasis kearifan lokal.Kata kunci: mengelola kampung, partisipasi warga, kearifan lokal
