ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY INDICATORS FOR UNIVERSITIES
Sažetak
Tokom poslednje dve decenije, mnogi univerziteti su angažovali i uključili koncepte održivog razvoja u svoj akademski sistem. Potpisane su brojne deklaracije i povelje, prihvaćene su inicijative, koje obezbeđuju smernice ili radne okvire univerzitetima i ujedno pokazuju njihovu posvećenost da aspekt održivosti uključe u svoj poslovni sistem. Međutim, sve to ne obezbeđuje njegovu uspešnu implementaciju. Da bi nivo odgovornosti na univerzitetima bio viši, neophodno je vršiti monitoring ili ocenu održivog razvoja. U ovom radu se, nakon uvodnog razmatranja koncepta održivog razvoja, ukratko elaboriraju najčešće upotrebljavani tipovi metrika u oceni održivosti. Prikupljeni su putem internet stranica dostupni rezultati realizovanih empirijskih istraživanja održivog razvoja na petnaest univerziteta u svetu, objavljeni u posebnim izveštajima o održivom razvoju ili u opštim godišnjim izveštajima poslovanja. Oni su poslužili za identifikaciju, analizu i sistematizaciju indikatora održivosti na univerzitetima. Za predmet detaljnog posmatranja odabrani su samo indikatori održivosti životne sredine. Utvrđeno je i opisano pet primarnih grupa indikatora i date su određene sugestije za moguće akcije, koje bi bilo neophodno sprovesti na univerzitetima da bi kratkoročno ostvarili bolje rezultate u svom održivom razvoju.
