Strategic Infrastructure Development for Economic Growth and Social Change
Author: Ray, NilanjanPublisher: IGI Global
ISBN: 1466674717
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 434
Book Description
Obtaining the ultimate objective of economic growth depends largely on the availability of infrastructure in the economy. New developments in finance also play an important role in enhancing economic prosperity in a country. Strategic Infrastructure Development for Economic Growth and Social Change explores different avenues of research in the areas of corporate governance, socioeconomic conditions, modern business infrastructure, business automation, strategic financial management, and financial aspects of modern businesses. This reference work discusses practical applications, skills, practices, and strategies involved in economic and business growth, and overall economic development. Academicians, practitioners, professionals, and researchers will benefit from the topics discussed in this book.

Highway Noise; a Design Guide for Highway Engineers
Author: Bolt, Beranek, and NewmanPublisher:
ISBN:
Category : Roads
Languages : en
Pages : 840
Book Description
Various methods of assessing noise, loudness, and noise annoyance are reviewed and explained; sources, types, and intensities of traffic noise are noted; typical means of abatement and attenuation are described; design criteria for various land uses ranging from low-density to industrial are suggested and compared with the results of previous BBN and British systems for predicting annoyance and complaint; and a design guide for predicting traffic noise, capable of being programmed for batch and on-line computer applications, is presented in form suitable for use as a working tool. A flow diagram describes the interrelationships of elements in the traffic noise prediction methodology, and each element is discussed in detail in the text. The text is presented of a tape recording that takes the listener through a series of traffic situations, with such variables as traffic distance, flow velocity, distance, outdoors and indoors, and presence or absence of absorbers and attenuators.
Effect of Highway Landscape Development on Nearby Property

Pages : 104
Book Description
Data were collected and disturbances were measured to determine the effects of physical disturbances by limited access highways on nearby property values. 3 types of analyses were made on the collected data: major-variable analysis, economic analysis, and interview analysis. In the major-variable analysis, relationships and correlations were examined between sound levels and sound level reductions at specific measurement points, and other variables such as sound level perception, present tree diversity, and homeowners' attitudes of buying another house next to the highway. The economic analysis evaluated the effect of highway disturbances and landscape/landforms on property values. The interview analysis was used to evaluate specific complaints or disturbances.

Assessing the Effects of Highway-widening Improvements on Urban and Suburban Areas
Author: Thomas Nelson HarveyPublisher: Transportation Research Board
ISBN: 9780309058650
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 56
Book Description
This synthesis will be of interest to highway environmental specialists (particularly those concerned with assessing social and economic impacts), design engineers, planners, utility managers, and others responsible for the planning, design, and implementation of highway-widening improvements. Information is presented on the reasons for highway-widening projects, the nature of the projects, and the methods and practices for application of analytical techniques used to measure the potential or actual impacts of the projects on people and the physical environment. Mitigation measures are also discussed. This report of the Transportation Research Board describes the most recent widening projects as reported by states or other transportation agencies, as well as the most frequently encountered issues in highway widening. Selected examples of widening projects are included, as is some recognition of the need for additional information and research in the areas of social and economic impact measurement.
