User Psychology in Architecture of Workspace Nikita Bokde* National Institute of Technology Raipur, Raipur, India

Abstract The spatial knowledge of our environment is an unconscious requisite for all of us. People working in offices spend the better part of their day in a built environment, ergo, much of their thoughts about space are directly connected to the spatial design and architecture of their surroundings. Design of any space or building, consciously or unconsciously, includes user psychology. Clearly, the design of a utilitarian building is different than that of a recreational one, or that of an office different from that of a restaurant. The reason being unconscious user psychology. When function of any building to be designed is stated, the designer trying to conceive ideas starts with some mental image with reference to the function. The office spaces are usually designed for strictly utilitarian purposes with the design reflecting so. The practice often leads to monotony among employees. Office is a place where one is supposed to stay, work and interact for 10 hours a day. Accommodating as many workstations as the space can, the working spaces and environment are not designed by keeping in mind the user’s mental and physical needs, who have to spend maximum amount of time in the place. Needs of users are not only related to ergonomics and spaces but psychology of spaces is also a very important aspect, it can increase or decrease productivity of workers in an office to a great extent. This paper attempts to explore the theory of user psychology considerations in workspace architecture and their effects. Keywords: architecture, user psychology, workspace design

INTRODUCTION User Psychology User psychology is everything that can happen is a user’s mind when they use any particular design. Architecture is the science which combines expression, technology and satisfaction of human needs. Buildings are ‘designed’ so that people using it should have an experience. Weather positive or negative, every designed space creates some impact on the user. If any design is unable to evoke any type of feeling in the user, that particular design can be considered a failure. It is well-established that the built environment can affect a person’s

emotional state. User psychology can be used to effect the emotional state and productivity of the workers or occupants to a great extent. User Psychology in Workspaces The most basic purpose of architecture is associated with the occupant. Buildings are created for humans to use, therefore, human psychology should be the primary parameter kept in mind while designing any building. Modern day psychologists and designers are rigorously studying the impact of particular built environment on users.

Elements Affecting Purchasing Behavior for Environmentally Sustainable Products: A Review for Future Research Abhinav Gupta*, Arun Sacher SRM University, Delhi-NCR, Haryana, India

Abstract ‘Environmentally Sustainable Development’: the term whose presence was felt in early 1970s became more prominent after getting focus upon in United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) held in 1992 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Environmental sustainability is all about responsible purchasing keeping in mind the impact on the environment with the use or even manufacturing of a product. This paper will provide a detailed review of literature available on environmentally sustainable consumption covering all the relevant attributes. In the initial section developments of the concept has been discussed and further review of literature has been presented thus providing guideline for future research of marketing for sustainable consumption. Keywords: sustainability, sustainable attitude, environmentally sustainable consumption.

INTRODUCTION Products which are environmentally sustainable have been presented and defined by researchers in different ways. Such products are of following types such as; the products which are environmentally superior, environment friendly, and ecologically safe which do not harm the environment (Chan, 1998).[1] Products which are environmentally sustainable have been presented and described by D’Souza, Taghian and Khosla (2007)[2] as these are the products which are helpful in achieving and reducing in the environmental impact. Environment sustainability concept was focused upon in United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) held in 1992 at Rio de Janeiro. The framework is moving towards observing and building environmental regulations, establishing a

green image of the firm and enhancing value to the products in a greener way. With growing consumerism it has become more evident and important for the firms to contemplate factors which make their product more environmentally sustainable as the emphasis on ecological attributes of the product have increased. It is quite evident from literature review that environmentally responsible and alert consumers are increasing which makes it important for businesses to align their products in accordance to the growing demand for such products. Environmentally sustainable products also need innovative refinement in the existing attributes (Steg & Vlek, 2009);[3] which makes it essential for marketers to devise the overall marketing strategy and products as well. Further through this paper research has been done to understand various attributes

Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation: Challenges and Opportunities for Food Security in Agriculture Sector A.N. Sarkar* Asia-Pacific Institute of Management, 3& 4 Institutional Areas, Jasola, Sarita Vihar, New Delhi, India

Abstract Agriculture and the future of global food security figure very importantly in global climate change negotiations (e.g. COP 21). As stated in Article II of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), the goal is to ensure stabilization of greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere at a level that would prevent “dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate system”. Agriculture, rural livelihoods, sustainable management of natural resources and food security are inextricably linked within the development and climate change challenges of the twenty-first century. Not only is food security an explicit concern under climate change; successful adaptation and mitigation responses in agriculture can only be achieved within the ecologic, economic and social sustainability goals set forth by the World Food Summit, the Millennium Development Goals and the UNFCCC. The various international as well as national organization have drawn up appropriate research and development initiatives and programmes with proper funding (green funding) for mitigation and adaptation measures to minimize the problems. The core objective in these efforts is to help develop low-carbon economy with high degree of resilience and sustainability especially in the context of protecting , preventing and enhancing the food security The objective of this paper is to identify a broad-based strategy for climate change responses in agriculture that insulates and effectively provides long-term and sustainable safeguards of food security, rural livelihood support systems and the provision of environmental services at the local farming community level. Special focus is given to existing and potential future mechanisms necessary to support adaptation, mitigation, technology transfer and financing at national, regional and international levels to meet the challenges of food security in Agriculture and allied sector in future. Keywords: adaptation, agriculture, climate change, mitigation, food security

AGRICULTURE AND GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE Agriculture is not only a fundamental human activity at risk from climate change, it is a major driver of environmental and climate change itself. It has the largest human impact on land and water resources. About 1.4 billion ha of arable land (10% of total ice-free land) are

used for crop cultivation and an additional 2.5 billion ha are used for pasture. Roughly four billion ha are forested land, 5% of which is used for plantation forestry. Two billion tonnes of grains are produced yearly for food and feed, providing two-thirds of total protein intake by humans. About 10% of total world cereal supply is traded internationally.[1] In

Wet Scrubbers – Design of Spray Tower to Control Air Pollutants Akshey Bhargava* Department of Civil Engineering, Global Institute of Engineering and Technology, Hyderabad, India

Abstract Wet scrubbers are compatible and effective air pollution control devices to arrest particulate matters and polluting gases coming out of industrial processes as air polluting emissions. There are various types of wet scrubbers but the present paper deals with Spray Towers and its design. The author of the present paper designed the Spray Tower for a 100 TPD cement plant based on Vertical Shaft Technology (VSK) after monitoring the air emissions in regard to designed parameters under variable conditions on a time scale. The efficiency of the designed Spray Tower has been to the tune of more than 95 percent. Keywords: particulate matter control, spray tower, wet scrubbers

BACKGROUND Wet scrubbers are effective air pollution control devices for removing particles and/or gases from industrial exhaust streams. A wet scrubber operates by introducing the dirty gas stream with a scrubbing liquid – typically water. Particulate or gases are collected in the scrubbing liquid. Wet scrubbers are generally the most appropriate air pollution control device for collecting both particulate and gas in a single system. Pollution systems offer a variety of wet scrubber systems specifically designed for process application. Many important operating variables are considered when evaluating the size and type of scrubber for any specific application.[1] Types of Wet Scrubbers  Chemical scrubbers/gas scrubbers  Particulate scrubbers/venturi scrubbers  Ammonia scrubbers  Chlorine scrubbers  Particulate/dust scrubbers

Sulfuric acid scrubbers

Particulate Scrubbers/Dust Scrubbers The concept of wet particulate/dust scrubbers is pretty straightforward. A liquid – usually water – is injected into the waste gas stream. The liquid droplets impact and entrain particulates from the waste gas stream and collecting them in the sump for blow down. The treated air stream is discharged through the exhaust stack.[2–5] The scrubber’s design will be impacted by a wide range of variables such as:  Nature of the particulate/dust to be removed  Particulate size distribution, initial pollutant loading/concentration in the waste stream and whether it Is flammable or combustible  Required removal efficiency  Temperature and flow rate of the waste stream

National Air Quality Index: The Need of the Hour Sonal Jain

Our concern about ambient pollution and its effect on human health stemmed primarily from three major air pollution episodes- Meuse Valley of Belgium in 1930, Donora in Pennsylvania of USA in 1948, and London smog episode in 1952. These episodes prompted many countries to initiate legislative and regulatory measures to control ambient air pollution. Pollutant effects on human health have accrued notable data that comes from spectrum of relevant disciplines including toxicology, human exposure assessment, and epidemiology. Among the plethora of environmental pollutant exposure to particulate matter (PM) is the largest environmental health hazards, increasing the risk of lung cancer, stroke, heart disease, chronic respiratory diseases, lower respiratory infections and asthma. The International Agency for Research on cancer classified PM pollution as carcinogenic to humans in 2013, and designated it as a leading environmental cause of cancer deaths. India is one of the countries with highest population exposure to PM2.5, and has reported consequently human health risks associated with PM2.5. SCOPE OF AIR QUALITY INDEX To inform public regarding overall status of air quality and its adverse effect the concept of air quality index (AQI) has been developed and used effectively in many developed countries for over last three decades. An AQI is defined as an overall scheme that alter weighted values of individual air pollution related parameters (SO2, CO, visibility, etc.) into a single number or set of numbers. The concept of air quality monitoring

programme was started only in 1984 and no significant efforts has been developed to use AQI in India. However increasing air quality tension in India has prompted the researcher to focus on AQI monitoring program. Institute of Tropical Meteorology (IITM) Pune has developed an AQI, which provides sub-index for PM10, PM2.5, O3, NO2, and CO and describes air quality status in terms of very unhealthy, very poor, poor (unhealthy for sensitive groups), moderate and good. In 2009 Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) revised the National Ambient Air Quality Standards for 12 parameters (PM10, PM2.5, NO2, SO2, CO, O3, NH3, Pb, Ni, As, Benzo(a)pyrene, and Benzene). The selection of parameters primarily depends on AQI objectives: data availability, averaging period, monitoring frequency, and measurement methods. Multiple agencies propose AQI schemes which provide varying air quality assessments, e.g. air quality may be termed as ‘good’ by one scheme and ‘poor’ by the other which is sometimes very confusing to general public. CPCB and the Ministry of Environment and Forests (MoEF) have instigated the National Air Quality Index project to emphasize the air quality information dissemination system for mass awareness and their participation in environment pollution management. The main solo of the AQI monitoring program is to inform citizens about associated health impacts of air pollution exposure and also prioritize the cities/towns on the measure of AQ. AQI also assist in data interpretation and decision making processes related to
