Download or read book Global Status Report on Road Safety written by and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 12 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Approximately 1.3 million people die each year on the world's roads, and between 20 and 50 million sustain non-fatal injuries. The Global status report on road safety is the first broad assessment of the road safety situation in 178 countries, using data drawn from a standardized survey. The results show that road traffic injuries remain an important public health problem, particularly for low-income and middle-income countries. Pedestrians, cyclists and motorcyclists make up almost half of those killed on the roads, highlighting the need for these road users to be given more attention in road safety programmes. The results suggest that in many countries road safety laws need to be made more comprehensive while enforcement should be strengthened. The Global status report on road safety results clearly show that significantly more action is needed to make the world's roads safer. [Ed.]

This book was released on 2009 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Environ 1,3 million de personnes meurent chaque année dans le monde sur les routes et entre 20 et 50 millions sont victimes d'accidents non mortels. Bien que de nombreux pays aient commencé à appliquer des mesures de sécurité routière, il n'y a eu jusqu'ici aucune évaluation mondiale de la sécurité routière qui permette d'évaluer les progrès accomplis au fil du temps. Le rapport de situation sur la sécurité routière dans le monde, qui utilise des données tirées d'une enquête standardisée, est la première évaluation globale de la situation en matière de sécurité routière dans 178 pays. Il ressort de ce rapport que les accidents de la circulation restent un problème de santé publique important, en particulier dans les pays à revenu faible et intermédiaire. Les piétons, les cyclistes et les motocyclistes représentent près de la moitié des victimes de la route, ce qui souligne la nécessité d'accorder davantage d'attention à ces usagers dans les programmes de sécurité routière. Il ressort également du rapport que, dans de nombreux pays, les lois sur la sécurité routière devraient être renforcées et qu'elles devraient être plus strictement appliquées. Le rapport de situation sur la sécurité routière dans le mondemontre clairement qu'une action plus énergique serait nécessaire pour rendre les routes plus sûres.

Download or read book Lifestyle Migration written by Michaela Benson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-05-06 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Relatively affluent individuals from various corners of the globe are increasingly choosing to migrate, spurred on by the promise of a better and more fulfilling way of life within their destination. Despite its increasing scale, migration academics have yet to consolidate and establish lifestyle migration as a subfield of theoretical enquiry, until now. This volume offers a dynamic and holistic analysis of contemporary lifestyle migrations, exploring the expectations and aspirations which inform and drive migration alongside the realities of life within the destination. It also recognizes the structural conditions (and constraints) which frame lifestyle migration, laying the groundwork for further intellectual enquiry. Through rich empirical case studies this volume addresses this important and increasingly common form of migration in a manner that will interest scholars of mobility, migration, lifestyle and culture across the social sciences.

Download or read book Achieving Traffic Safety Goals in the United States written by National Academies (U.S.). Committee for the Study of Traffic Safety Lessons from Benchmark Nations and published by Transportation Research Board. This book was released on 2011 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The tool kit will vary among jurisdictions depending on basic legal constraints, community attitudes, road system and traffic characteristics, and resources. The Transportation Research Board (TRB) undertook a study to identify the sources of safety improvements in other countries. Researchers do not have a complete understanding of the underlying causes of long-term trends in crashes and fatalities. Differences among countries are in part attributable to factors other than government safety policies. To identify keys to success, the TRB study committee examined specific safety programs for which quantitative evaluations are available and relied on the observations of safety professionals with international experience. The committee's conclusions identify differences between U.S. and international practices that can account for some differences in outcomes. The committee recommendations, which are addressed to elected officials and to government safety administrators, identify actions needed in the United States to emulate the successes that other countries have achieved. The recommendations do not comprehensively address all aspects of traffic safety programs but rather address areas of practice that are highlighted by the international comparisons and for which credible evidence of effectiveness is available."--Pub. desc.
