Transport corridors and settlements in a region. Linking settlements to public transport

The Role of Urban Transport in Sustainable Human Settlements Development

TOURISM AND RURAL SETTLEMENTS Nepal’s Annapurna Region

Functional and humanist perspectives relevant to counterurbanization studies are applied to examine the processes of growth and development of rural settlements affected by tourism. Based on a survey of tourism lodges located in several settlements in the Annapurna region of Nepal, this paper analyzes tourism-induced growth in such accommodations and its implications on changing characteristics...

Phosphorus transport and retention in a channel draining an urban, tropical catchment with informal settlements

Urban catchments in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) are increasingly becoming a major source of phosphorus (P) to downstream ecosystems. This is primarily due to large inputs of untreated wastewater to urban drainage channels, especially in informal settlements (or slums). However, the processes governing the fate of P in these catchments are largely unknown. In this study, these processes are investi...

Modelling Public Transport Corridors with Aggregate and Disaggregate Demand

Traditional microeconomic modeling of public transport (usually a single line) has been based on aggregated demand description, that is, total ridership along a line and average journey length. This way, aggregation is spatial rather than temporal, as most public transport systems are designed for the period of largest demand. With this approach, various authors have formulated optimization mod...

Squatter Settlements

Glossary Burgess Model Developed by Ernest W. Burgess in 1925, this modeled the urban social structure of industrialized cities based on the case of Chicago. The model consisted of a series of concentric rings around the central business district, with working-class populations living near the center where industries were located, and middle-class households living further out from the center. ...
