This book was released on 2006-03-01 with total page 423 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle.

Now, the challenge has shifted to designing and stimulating processes of effective planning and decision-making, at all levels of human activity, in such a way as to achieve local and global sustainable development. Information technology can help a great deal in achieving sustainable development by providing well-designed and useful tools for decision makers. One such tool is the decision support system, or DSS. This book explores the area of DSS in the context of sustainable development. As DSS is a very new technique, especially in the developing world, this book will serve as a reference text, primarily for managers, government officials, and information professionals in developing countries. It covers the concept of sustainable development, defines DSS and how it can be used in the planning and management of sustainable development, and examines the state of the art in DSS use. Other interested readers will include students, teachers, and analysts in information sciences; DSS designers, developers, and implementors; and international development agencies.

Download or read book Traditional and Incentive Regulation written by Robert L. Mansell and published by Calgary : Van Horne Institute for International Transportation and Regulatory Affairs, University of Calgary. This book was released on 1995 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book arrives at a time when further changes in the regulatory arena are being considered in response to the ongoing evolution of the Canadian natural gas industry. Greater efficiency in all aspects of gas supply, transmission and distribution is critical, and this has generally sharpened the focus of regulation on efficiency issues. This study sets out regulatory fundamentals and traditional regimes, and examines some of the main alternatives concerning the regulation of major gas pipelines in Canada. It draws on regulatory changes and experiments with respect to other sectors, such as telecommunications and electricity, as well as the pipeline sector in other jurisdictions. The study should be of great interest to regulated companies in gas transmission and distribution, oil pipelines, oil and gas producers, regulators, governments, and academics. Because of its generic nature, it should also be of interest to individuals involved in the regulation of other utilities.The Van Horne Institute for International Transportation and Regulatory Affairs is a not-for-profit organisation, established in 1992, headquartered in Calgary, Alberta, and affiliated with The University of Calgary. The Institute has been established to address important transportation and related regulatory issues such as legislation, taxes, subsidies, technology and economics, and is funded through memberships and fees for services.

(Brunswick Pipeline) applied to the National Energy Board (NEB) for the approval of the Plans, Profiles, and Book of Reference (PPBoR) which detailed the proposed route for the Brunswick Pipeline project, Certificate GC-110, from the Canaport Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) Terminal at Mispec Point, New Brunswick to a point on the US border near St. Stephen, New Brunswick. This document is a compilation of the Reasons for Decision for both detailed route hearings on the Brunswick Pipeline Project -- MH-3-2007 and MH-1-2008. The MH-3-2007 Reasons for Decision were released in a separate publication in May 2008. However, three of the seven decisions rendered in MH-3-2007 stated that the respective portions of the proposed detailed route were not the best possible routes, therefore new detailed route (re-route) applications were required for these three segments. One of these re-route applications triggered detailed route hearing MH-1-2008. Since MH-1-2008 is directly related to MH-3-2007, the Reasons for Decision for both proceedings have been compiled herein for ease of reference. Included in the appendices to the MH-1-2008 Reasons for Decision are the Board letters and Orders approving the two re-route applications that did not trigger a detailed route hearing.--Includes text from document.
