This adverse impact ranges from environment degradation, pollution, health problems and environmental sustainability. To prevent this deplorable situation, the Cameroon Government has over the years instituted several mechanisms at the level of the ministries in charge of quarry exploitation and environmental protection in Cameroon as well institutions and industries involve in quarry exploitation. In order to attain our objective, qualitative research methodology has been adopted. This piece of work answers a specific research question which is how effective are the mechanisms for the protection of the environment from the effects of quarry exploitation in Cameroon and what are the challenges encountered? It is underpinned by the theory of environmentally responsible behavior. This theory advocates for responsible behavior from the communities as well as other stakeholders such as government, companies to adopt measures that minimize environmental impact. This includes implementing regulations, promoting community awareness about sustainable practices and encouraging the use of eco-friendly technologies. Finding reveals that although Cameroon has employed relevant mechanisms to address quarry activities and environmental protection, much is still required to be done. Based on the findings, the study strongly recommends the Cameroon Government to effectively implement its mining/quarry laws and make sure prior Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), monitoring and evaluation are effective to make sure quarry industries operate within the legal frameworks while maintaining environmental sustainability.</p> Tambo Ngosong Folefac Copyright (c) 2025 https://www.paradigmpress.org/SSSH/article/view/1733 Fri, 29 Aug 2025 00:00:00 +0000 The Three-Dimensional Standard Framework and Industry Adaptation in Brand Marketing Informatization https://www.paradigmpress.org/SSSH/article/view/1734 <p>The rapid development of information technology has made brand marketing informatization an essential driving force for modern enterprise development. By utilizing digital means to achieve precise marketing, brand monitoring, and consumer behavior analysis, enterprises can enhance their brand influence and market competitiveness. However, existing brand marketing informatization tools, mostly designed in a generalized manner, fail to meet the specific needs of different industries. To address this issue, this paper proposes the concepts of the “Three-Dimensional Standard Framework” and the “Industry Characteristic Coefficient.” The Three-Dimensional Standard Framework covers three key dimensions: brand health monitoring, dynamic updating of consumer profiles, and cross-channel content coordination, which comprehensively cover the crucial aspects of brand marketing informatization. The Industry Characteristic Coefficient, by quantifying the special needs of different industries, enhances the targeting and effectiveness of the tools.</p> Bo Lu Copyright (c) 2025 https://www.paradigmpress.org/SSSH/article/view/1734 Fri, 29 Aug 2025 00:00:00 +0000
