A framework for conducting spatial analysis towards sustainable transportation

Abstract

There has been a growing understanding that efforts towards sustainability have to focus on reaching equilibrium and efficiency on the use of resources. Gradually, various sectors of society (governments, industries, non-governmental organizations, academia, etc) have consciously expressed that future of human kind and planet earth depends on how intelligently available resources are going to be used from now on. Based on this common notion, they have worked on conceiving, organizing, planning, and implementing policies for global, regional and local actions, which are expected to reduce damaging impacts and generate benefits for everybody.
