Book excerpt: Rural road networks are vital for the development of any country, and particularly so for most developing countries. Rural areas are the home for large numbers of people, the farms which produce crops for consumption and export, and strategic sites such as power stations and border posts. However, rural roads, along with other rural facilities, often receive less than their fair share of spending and many fall into disrepair. Communities become isolated and lose their access to schools, health centres, social support networks and sources of income. At the same time, teachers and medical staff are unable to visit the rural facilities where they do their work. Crops cannot be transported to markets and buying depots and much needed income is lost. Rural poverty grows and livelihoods become unsustainable. To reverse this trend, rural roads must be well managed. Money must be spent efficiently and the needs of the road users - farmers, villagers, traders and government officials - must be met. This is good road management and, if carried out in tandem with other institutional improvements, is likely to secure a fairer proportion of the budget in the following years and bring about sustainable improvement to a road network.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rural roads play a crucial role in the economic and social development of societies, linking rural communities to education, health services and markets. During the last decade, considerable efforts have been made to evaluate the benefits of rural road investment in developing countries. Although outputs of these studies have led to a global rethinking of traditional road appraisal methods, limited attempts have been made to integrate these findings to the rural road management process. For the sustainable management of rural roads, social, institutional, technical, economic and environmental aspects should be considered under a long term perspective. The current practice in developing countries is that only some of these key sustainable aspects are being considered in the management process. In addition, rural roads maintenance management is commonly performed under a short term basis, not considering the life cycle costs and benefits in the economic analysis and project prioritization. Available management tools and studies have essentially focused their efforts on improving technical and economic aspects of low-volume roads. Whereas, the common practice observed in face of limited resources and lack of technical skills is that decisions are made under a political short term perspective. This research is directed at the development of an applied and practical system for the sustainable management of rural road networks in developing countries.

Download or read book Options for Managing and Financing Rural Transport Infrastructure written by Christina Malmberg Calvo and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 1998-01-01 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: World Bank Technical Paper No. 409. In developing and transition economies, 60 to 80 percent of all passenger and freight transport moves by road-the main form of access for most rural communities. Yet most of the 11 million kilometers of roads in these economies are badly maintained and poorly managed. This paper discusses one of the most effective ways to promote sound policies for managing and financing road networks--commercialization. It discusses the emerging central concept of bringing roads into the marketplace, putting them on a fee-for-service basis, and managing them like a business.

Download or read book Rural Road Engineering in Developing Countries written by Jasper Cook and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2023-08-02 with total page 427 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rural Road Engineering in Developing Countries provides a comprehensive coverage of the planning, design, construction, and maintenance of rural roads in developing countries and emerging nations. It covers a wide range of technical and non-technical problems that may confront road engineers working in the developing world, focusing on rural roads which provide important links from villages and farms to markets and offer the public access to health, education, and other services essential for sustainable development. Most textbooks on road engineering are based on experience in industrialised countries with temperate climates or deal only with specific issues, with many aspects of the design and construction of roads in developing regions stemming from inappropriate research undertaken in Europe and the USA. These approaches are frequently unsuitable and unsustainable for rural road network environments, particularly in low to middle income countries. This book takes on board a more recent research and application focus on rural roads, integrating it for a broad range of readers to access current information on good practice for sustainable road engineering in developing countries. The book particularly suits transportation engineers, development professionals, and graduate students in civil engineering.
Download or read book CAREC Road Safety Engineering Manual 1 written by Asian Development Bank and published by Asian Development Bank. This book was released on 2018-03-01 with total page 123 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research indicates that up to 28% of crashes are due to the road environment. The most important objective of road safety audit is to minimize crashes, and to minimize the severity of any crashes that may occur on a new road project. The series of CAREC road safety engineering manuals came from the endorsement of the CAREC Road Safety Strategy 2017–2030 by member countries. The strategy supports and encourages CAREC authorities to plan, design, construct, and maintain safe roads. This manual also explains the road safety audit process as it can apply in CAREC road projects. It provides information about the audit process for those who undertake the audits (practitioners) and for those who manage the audit process (policy makers).
