A pathway for plastic waste in construction materials
Mass plastic production has exponentially increased plastic waste. The low rate of degradation causes plastic waste to end up in the oceans straining ecosystems globally. Besides pollution avoidance, reusing plastic waste is a currently evolving strategy, for example, in the construction sector, to meet the increasing demand for housing due to rapid urbanization and population growth. The following literature review summarizes the current approac…
Waste to energy in Kathmandu Nepal—A way toward achieving sustainable development goals
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) explicitly focus on responsible use of resources, production, and consumption, which comprises sensible waste management includes SDG 3, 7, 11, and 12. Yet, gaps between policies and current waste management practices are prevailing globally as well as nationally. This article discusses waste management (WM) in Kathmandu Metropolitan City (KMC) with a focus on cleaner technology. Waste management has always…
Gender differences in household energy decision‐making and impacts in energy saving to achieve sustainability
Electrical appliances use increased in the households of Kathmandu city for the last three decades. The use and purchase of appliances have a significant contribution to household energy‐saving behavior. This study examines gender differences in electrical appliances purchase decision‐making process based on socioeconomic context—headship, family composition, ethnicity, and location as objective variables; and subjective variables—energy practice…
Scaling up sustainability
Since the Brundtland definition, practitioners and theoreticians have strived to deal with incoherencies in the concept of sustainability or sustainable development, partly because the concept is defined on a global level and applied through local level initiatives. Explanatorily, describing the three sustainability dimensions (social, economic and ecological), the pillar model of sustainability has become popular. However, several authors indica…

Cultural Sustainability and Space – a Comparison of two Cases in Kathmandu, Nepal
One of the major challenges today is to learn how to act collaboratively in public space. This does not just relate to the use of old public space; it is also about creating new common platforms where people can participate in any kind of development process. Apparently, cultural, social and economic activities of certain societal groups influence decisions in the development process, but these activities do not necessarily include all users. The…
Interactions Between Caregivers and Young Children
Although research in health care suggests that one of the most important factors for efficient medical delivery is the child's willingness to cooperate, little is known about how caregivers facilitate cooperation with young children during medical treatment. In this article, we explore interactions between parents, nurses, and young children during pediatric nebulizer treatment in terms of tact as a pedagogical concept. Based on our analysis, whi…
Sustainable Design
Research linking design to sustainability surfaced in the 1970s and has since received broad attention in academic and professional literature. Rachel Carson's book Silent Spring from 1962 and the Gaia hypothesis of James Lovelock and Lynn Margulis from 1974 inspired design, among many other disciplines, to search for an appropriate balance between industrial cultures and natural surroundings. This article tracks a brief idea‐historical account o…

Exploring relationships between universal design and social sustainable development
Universal design (UD) is a rising global trend and can be related to social sustainable development (SSD), which has gained increasing recognition in the political arena and in the corporate world. UD targets needs, social participation and access to goods and services by the widest possible range of users. For this reason, it is vital to consider the inclusion and advancement of persons who have been excluded from interacting in society for diff…
