- Description
- Society has an understandable desire to protect the environment, and this protection is reasonably extended to include the impact of building operations through various regulatory controls. However experience has shown that application of the same regulations in different contexts has resulted in very different levels of environmental protection and preservation. These outcomes are situated at the confluence of drafting and implementation of regulations, the monitoring and enforcement of those regulations and the intentions and actions of various stakeholders in the built environment. Although these are typically described in ten11S of a series of linear processes and interactions the reality is that the levels of ambiguity, informality, and interconnectedness inherent in their interactions are highly complex, and unique to each development. This paper proposes that a systems theory perspective would be beneficial in uncovering processes at work in the Envirom11ental Preservation System, and presents a theoretical construct to that end.
