Product Description
The state of our planet continues to deteriorate at an alarming rate. We have arrived at a situation where we need to determine urgent solutions before we reach a point of irreversible damage. This book contains papers presented at the International Conference on the Management of Natural Resources, Sustainable Development and Ecological Hazards, which was held in Patagonia, Argentina. The Conference name was shortened to �The Ravage of the Planet’ to emphasize the urgency of the problems under discussion. Much has been written in different contexts about attaining sustainability but the concept itself needs to be defined within a framework of many different disciplines in order to arrive at optimal solutions. This book is therefore essentially trans-disciplinary and it is hoped that it will encourage research into appropriate sustainable solutions, i.e. those involving collaboration across a wide range of disciplines. The following topic areas are discussed: The re-encounter; Political and social issues; Planning and development; Ecology; Design and sustainability; Safety; Water resources; Management of complex systems under extreme conditions; Air; Soil; Energy.

This is reflected in the proceedings of the Twelfth International Conference on Urban Transport and the Environment in the 21st Century, stressing the continuous steady growth and research into the urban transport systems control aspects, information and simulation systems. The papers included in the volume cover a wide variety of topics, such as: Transport sustainability; Urban transport planning and management; Transport modeling and simulation; Transport logistics and operations research; Transport security and safety; Transport technology; Land use and transport integration; Environmental and ecological considerations; Intelligent transport systems; Public transport systems; Information systems and GPS applications and Road pricing.

One bonus book for the list

Product Description
The increasing urbanization of the world, coupled with the global issues of environmental pollution, resources shortage and economic restructuring, demand that we make our cities places worth living in. However, problems of environmental management and planning are not restricted to urban areas. Environments such as rural areas, forests, coastal regions and mountains face their own problems that require urgent solutions in order to avoid irreversible damage. The use of modern technologies in planning gives us new potential to monitor and prevent environmental degradation. With papers presented at the 3rd International Conference on Sustainable Development and Planning, this book addresses the subjects of sustainable development and regional planning in an integrated way keeping in mind that present generations have to find the appropriate way to satisfy their needs without compromising the ability of future generations. It has become apparent that planners, environmentalists, architects, engineers, policy makers and economists have to work together in order to ensure that sustainable development and planning can be achieved. The increase in spatial problems that can be seen in many countries has lead to planning crises. Planning problems are often connected with uneven development, deterioration of the quality of urban life and environmental pollution.
