A presentation conducted by Dr Kang-Soo Kim, Executive Director, Korean Development Institute (KDI), Republic of Korea. Presented on Wednesday the 2nd of October 2013.
Infrastructure development has played an important role in achieving a high rate of economic growth and improving
the quality of life for Koreans. Empirical studies show this to be true, and that such developments have produced a high rate of economic return. This presentation chronologically reviews the infrastructure development in Korea and focuses on how the transport infrastructure development plan was linked to the country’s economic development plan. In particular, this presentation will provide insights on measures to tackle the lack of available resources for the infrastructure development. For example,
earmarked transport taxes, creation of special accounts and PPPs, which enhance Korean government’s fiscal flexibility will be introduced. This presentation will also
provide some experiences and lessons focusing on the infrastructure planning and financing for the infrastructure development.
This document describes a vehicle reservation system project. It outlines the reservation workflow process and discusses how the software solution will address problems in managing fleet, driver, and package data through a centralized database with user-friendly interfaces. The system will automate processes like charges calculation, fuel expense estimation, and reservations reminders. It will provide managerial reports and login authentication controls while allowing officers to access centralized data through a web-based system. The technologies used will include Java EE, Struts, Spring, Hibernate, Google Maps API, MySQL database, and Apache Tomcat application server.

The study assessed the anticipated economic impact of urban stormwater management investments, focusing specifically on the local impact of practices required as part of the federally mandated Chesapeake Bay restoration effort. The study was conducted as part of a local stormwater financing project led by EFC with the support of the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation.
Off Road Vehicle Management Framework (June 2011)BCPFLA
The document summarizes the Off Road Vehicle Management Framework presented to the Private Forests Landowners Association. It outlines the goal of developing policy to encourage safe and responsible ORV use. It describes the consultation process that led to the framework and key elements such as mandatory registration, safety requirements like helmet and seatbelt use, designated highway crossings, and compliance/enforcement strategies. Implementation of the framework was estimated to take two years.
This document discusses financing development in Pakistan. It notes that Pakistan has low GDP per capita and high poverty and stunting rates. It has weak institutions and a poor record of achieving past development goals like the MDGs. Pakistan has a low tax-to-GDP ratio and struggles to attract private financing due to economic and political instability. The document argues that international institutions should provide capacity-building funds to help Pakistan improve its ability to mobilize domestic resources and attract private investment to help achieve development goals like the SDGs by focusing on education and health.

The document provides various tips for preventing road accidents, aimed at different groups including children, parents, and drivers. Some of the key tips mentioned are:
1. Teach children road safety from a young age, as early as age six, and discourage behaviors that could lead to accidents like racing videos.
2. Parents should monitor the content children watch and supervise their activities near roads.
3. Drivers should follow speed limits, drive cautiously especially at night, and never drink and drive.
USING THE ANALYTIC HIERARCHY PROCESS AND GIS FOR DECISION MAKING IN RURAL HIG...IAEME Publication
Rural highway route location is a very complex case, requiring significant time and effort from the planners. This study presented the route location method by applying Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Geographical Information System (GIS). The location of the study is confined to south Mosul city in Iraq of the area (198km2). The researcher is behind defining the route which connects Baghdad-Mosul and Mosul-Kirkuk roadways. This route is considered the suggested turn to Mosul city. A variety of data set from different sources and at different scales are managed.
The Kashmir Rail Project aims to provide an alternative transportation system for Jammu and Kashmir by constructing a 345km railway line linking the Kashmir Valley. Major challenges include difficult terrain, extreme weather, security issues, and construction in seismic zones. The project is divided into sections, with the most difficult being the 148km Katra-Quazigund leg requiring extensive tunneling and bridgework. Construction began in 1994 and various delays have pushed the estimated completion date to 2017. The project involves building over 750 bridges and 100km of tunnels, with the longest tunnel being 11km.
The document outlines the steps involved in highway route location, which includes reconnaissance, preliminary, and final location surveys. The reconnaissance survey evaluates feasibility of corridor routes based on topography, traffic, land use, environment, and economics. The preliminary survey determines horizontal and vertical alignments and evaluates routes for cost, environment, safety, and cost-benefit. The final survey fixes the center line and collects additional data like cross-sections and elevations for working drawings. The overall process aims to find a location that minimizes costs while considering traffic needs and impacts.
This document provides an overview of tour guiding skills and the guiding environment. It discusses an interpretive approach to guiding which aims to generate understanding and appreciation. It also outlines the tourism industry including sectors like tour operators, transportation, attractions and hospitality. Finally, it describes different types of tours such as site-based, special interest, vehicle-based, and water-based tours.
The document summarizes the results of a route survey conducted from Jamshedpur to Nagpur. The survey assessed road and bridge conditions, terrain, traffic patterns, and availability of amenities along the 1034 km route. Several sections of the route pass through difficult terrain like forests and Naxal-affected areas with poor infrastructure and night travel restrictions. Bridges on the route were found to be in generally poor condition.
The document discusses various topics related to bridges including their purpose, importance, components, classifications, loadings, aesthetics, materials used such as steel and reinforced concrete, types of bridges like suspension bridges, causes of bridge failures, maintenance, and some landmark bridges in India. Bridges are structures built to provide passage over physical obstacles without closing the gap below and have been developing in sophistication since early human civilization. They are important for connecting difficult terrains, aiding trade and transportation, and reducing travel time.
This document outlines the ideal qualities of a tour guide, which include enthusiasm, an outgoing nature, self-confidence, flexibility, knowledge, and good communication skills. It also discusses tips for guides when working with different age groups like students and senior citizens. Guides are advised to establish rapport, handle complaints diplomatically, and develop cross-cultural understanding when leading diverse groups of tourists.
The document discusses road safety and statistics related to road accidents worldwide and in India. Some key points:
- Over 1.2 million people are killed in road accidents worldwide each year, with 3,000 deaths daily and 500 of them children.
- In India in 2007, 1,14,590 people were killed in road accidents, with Kerala accounting for 3,802 deaths.
- The annual economic loss due to road accidents in India is over Rs. 300,000 crores.
The document then provides various technological, infrastructural, educational, enforcement and other suggestions to improve road safety in India.
