Community-Owned Transport

Community-Owned Transport

City and state governments around the world are struggling to achieve environmentally sustainable transport. Economic technological city and transport planning and human behaviour solutions are often hampered by ineffective implementation. So attention is now turning to institutional governmental and political barriers. Approaches to these implementation problems assume that transport ownership can only be public (owned by state entities) or private (corporate or personal). Another option – largely unexplored to date – is communal ownership of transport. Community-Owned Transport proposes and develops the notion that communal ownership has a historical basis and provides unique opportunities for providing personal mobility. It looks at the historical roots of modern urban transport’s failings as those of technological change and the associated governing of transport systems particularly the role of public sector institutions. Community ownership is explored through the new ‘sharing economy’ developments – car sharing ridesharing and bicycle share schemes – and older social innovations in ecovillages and communal living. Models and practices of community ownership of transport are provided and this study also discusses how community ownership might contribute to sustainable transport. Drawing widely on different disciplines and fields of scholarship this book explores the conceptual and practical aspects of communal ownership of transport. It will be a valuable resource for those seeking innovative approaches to addressing the pressing problems of transport including graduate and postgraduate students as well as policymakers practitioners and community groups.

Sediment Transport Dynamics

Sediment Transport Dynamics

This book focuses on the fundamentals of sediment transport in surface waters. It covers sediment properties open channel flows sediment particle settling incipient motion bed forms bed load suspended load total load cohesive sediments water-sediment two-phase flows hyperconcentrated flows debris flows wave-induced sediment transport turbidity currents and physical modeling. Besides the primary context of river sedimentation this book extensively covers sediment transport under coexisting waves and currents in coasts and estuaries hyperconcentrated and debris flows in rivers as well as turbidity currents in lakes reservoirs channels and the ocean. It includes a chapter on the water-sediment two-phase flow theory which is considered the basis of many sediment transport models. It introduces some special topics have that emerged in recent years such as the transport of mixed cohesive and noncohesive sediments biofilm-coated sediments and infiltrated sand within gravel and cobble beds. The text merges classical and new knowledge of sediment transport from various sources in English and non-English literature and includes important contributions made by many scientists and engineers from all over the world. It balances the breadth depth fundamental importance practical applicability and future advancement of the covered knowledge and can be used as a text and reference book. The chapters are arranged in a useful sequence for teaching purposes. Certain homework problems are prepared which also highlight the important topics for instructors to select. Solutions to homework problems are available from the author by request. | Sediment Transport Dynamics
