In the last decade, in the context of debates about climate change, the Australian road construction industry has focused on increasing efficiencies within road construction processes. This approach to environmental impact management is congruent with existing (road-centric) trajectories of infrastructure development. At the same time, however, it also institutionalises the systemic environmental impacts of the road network. This article examines the historical conditions within which this focus on construction efficiencies emerged as the basis of practical action. Firstly, it examines the neoliberal strategies that led to the privatisation of the Australian road construction industry in the 1990s. Secondly, these Australian road industry strategies are compared with other industry-centred harm-management initiatives and traced back to the tobacco industry tactics of the 1950s and 1960s. Finally, this article argues for a broader, interdisciplinary approach to the analysis and management of environmental impact.

The limited funding of the Aceh Jaya regency government for development, including the construction of road infrastructure and the way in which road construction projects are still inaccurate and the process of budgeting unproportional work package by the Aceh Jaya regency government itself has not been able to fully meet the needs of road development in Aceh Jaya. Therefore, the need for priority scale that can be used as the basis of consideration in the process of development of road infrastructure development program. The purpose of this study is to determine the priority order of several road infrastructure development projects in Aceh Jaya regency by selecting or considering the appropriate criteria and according to development condition in Aceh Jaya regency using Multi Criteria Analysis (MCA) method. The weight of each criterion was calculated based on an assessment of the importance between the criteria obtained by interviewing stakeholders in Aceh Jaya regency government, while the alternative road performance score was obtained by analyzing and calculating the scale of the assessment quantitatively against each criterion based on secondary data obtained from related offices. Selected criteria are accessibility, environmental aspect, area development aspect, social aspect and development cost. Social aspect criteria get the highest weight of 0.279, it can be interpreted that social aspect is the main consideration in determining priority of road development in Aceh Jaya regency, because social aspect see influence of economic growth and social welfare of society from development of road infrastructure.  Based on the consideration of these criteria, the order of priority scale of road construction project in Aceh Jaya regency, where road in Calang city, Krueng Sabee sub-district is the first priority with score value 6,72.

This chapter examines rural road development in Nepal to understand how the purported benefits of new transport mobilities in fact reinforce longstanding social hierarchies, create conditions for the consolidation of centralized elite power and capital accumulation, and reproduce terms of marginality and precarity for vulnerable populations in highland Nepal. The authors posit that road development in Nepal functions as a ‘liberal mode of governance’ (Duffield 2008) whereby both private and public actors territorialize national space and articulate a new but still uneven future for Nepal. More broadly, this chapter aims to illuminate how non-state actors working in peripheral and rural regions – such as transport syndicates and development contractors in Nepal – help to materialize the capitalist and bureaucratic objectives of central state authorities through liberal practices of infrastructure development.

Abstract Increasing the volume of road construction is one of the priority areas of infrastructure development in any country. When building roads, it is preferable to use local materials to reduce the cost of their transportation, therefore, it is advisable to build the roadbed on local soils. It is worth noting that clay water-saturated soils are the most common, which complicates the construction of the road due to some features of this type of soil. The object of the study is a water-saturated clay with the following characteristics: natural humidity from 25.3 % to 28.1% by weight, optimal humidity from 11.8 % to 16.7% by weight, the number of plasticity from 0.118 to 0.153. Clay soils have a number of features: waterlogged soils are difficult to compact and develop, it is quite problematic to dry them, and thixotropy is also characteristic of clay soils. In this regard, it is most advisable to use the method of complex mineral binders to optimize their physical and mechanical properties. In the course of laboratory studies, compositions of soil compositions with the addition of lime waste and superplasticizer P-17 were developed. The dependence of the strength on the consumption of mineral binders and surfactants is established: the maximum compressive strength of the soil being fixed is achieved at a lime content of 25 wt.% and at a P-17 content in the range of 0.10-0.5 wt.%.

One of the most important sectors in infrastructure development in Laos is road construction. However, many road construction projects in Laos suffer from extensive delays. This causes damage such as recurring problems in the road construction industry, and has a negative effect on the success of road construction projects in terms of schedule, cost, quality, safety and the amenity of road users. The goal of this study is to determine the main causes of these delays and to offer remedies. To identify the causes of delays, a questionnaire is designed by modifying one used to measure causes of delays in road construction projects in the West Bank in Palestine and in consultation with engineering experts with more than 10 years of experience in Laos road construction projects. A total of 53 causes of delay are identified as important in Laos. Questionnaire respondents included 35 contractors, 31 owners and 24 consultants in total. The survey results indicate that the five top factors causing road construction delays are: Contractor cash flow; Delayed payment by owner; Difficulties in financing project by contractor; Financial issues related to owner; and Insufficient equipment and vehicles for the work.

The Impact

Paper discussed research that uses economic calcula-tion methods referring to infrastructural policy in Polish road engineering. The first part of the article sets out the reasons for conducting this type of research and the current road development policy in Poland. It turns out that the economic calculation of the effects of the creation of new sections of main roads is not widely used, and in infrastructure programs, old, though still valid, plans from 50 years ago have been replicated for decades. Thus, in the assumptions of the current investment policy, specialist assessments are based on theoretical truths, which are often unrelated to the current, dramatic situation of road construction and its users. Next, the economic calculation methods are briefly described and summarized the research carried out by the authors of the article for the Ministry of Development entitled: Analysis of the impact of the road infrastructure built on the level of economic activity in the surrounding territorial units.

This research aims to discuss a large amount of credit lending is in line with the potential risk to the environment which is also caused by Toll Road construction activities. Therefore, Banks, Development, and the environment cannot be separated from one to another mainly because the Bank is responsible for taking preventive steps, other than implementing the substance of 5C principles, Bank is also obliged to implement several principles mentioned in POJK 51/2017, one of which is Principle for Responsible Investment. However, there are still no standards for the implementation of these principles or any strict penalties for Banks that are not applying the principle. This creates legal uncertainty, as it causes a potential risk that the Bank indirectly has not any obligation to implement it, yet only as a form of recommendation, whereas on the other hand, infrastructure development still damages the environment as it happened at the construction of Trans Sumatra Toll Road. In contrast to what Indonesia has done, Australia uses a variety of strategies to implement the Principle for Responsible Investment. In line with this issue, this research is using the normative legal research method where it is expected to provide different perspectives that will be useful for maximizing the realization of the Principles for Responsible Investment as part of Sustainable Finance in credit lending practices for Infrastructure development projects. Thus, it aims to make more detailed legal reforms, primarily regarding the standardization and sanctions of Principles for Responsible Investment including its derivative regulations hence that a sustainable environment will be realized.

Awareness of the importance of sustainable development has made many governments prioritize the adoption of green measures. The road infrastructure sector is no stranger to this and has been transforming its processes in such a way that they incorporate more sustainable practices. However, the inclusion of this type of practice has not been an easy task, since the adoption of these practices results from a decision-making process that is affected by the context of potential adopters, as well as other external parameters such as institutional, environmental, socioeconomic factors, etc. This study aims to identify the main variables that affect the adoption of sustainable practices in the development of roadways in Colombia. Through the application of the Bass Diffusion model concept, the most influential variables were identified and a Causal Loop Diagram (CLD) was built to understand the dynamics and feedback processes between them. External variables such as the popularity of the green technique, guidelines existence, and costs associated with them are significantly influential in the inclusion of green measures. Additionally, the level of influence of each variable is assessed through the formulation of a system dynamics model and the evaluation of different scenarios. Finally, a set of recommendations to overcome barriers in the process of green measures adoption is given. This model can be used as a support tool in formulating strategies that promote sustainable practices in road development.

Abstract In order to support the acceleration of Indonesia's economic growth, massive infrastructure development must be carried out. The movement of goods and people must be able to run smoothly to accelerate economic growth. One type of infrastructure that can provide direct support is road infrastructure. Roads have an important role in regional development both from economic, social, cultural and environmental aspects. With its flexible nature, it can reach various regions and its development methods are relatively easy, the road being a favorite infrastructure to be developed. To achieve good quality road construction, a general specification must be met. In 2014, the Directorate General of Highways issued the 2010 General Specification (Revision 3) which was completed with the Road Supervision Manual document that referred to the specification. But with the increasing need for quality road construction and increasing awareness of the importance of maintenance activities, in 2018 the Directorate General of Highways issued a General Specification 2018. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the changes of the General Specifications and changes in the Road Supervision Manual. Keywords: infrastructure development, road construction, general spesification, supervision manual  Abstrak Untuk mendukung percepatan pertumbuhan ekonomi Indonesia, pembangunan infrastruktur secara masif harus dilakukan. Pergerakan barang dan orang harus dapat berjalan secara lancar untuk mempercepat pertumbuhan ekonomi. Sampai saat ini, salah satu jenis infrastruktur yang dapat memberikan dukungan secara langsung adalah infrastruktur jalan. Jalan memiliki peranan penting dalam pengembangan wilayah, dari aspek-aspek ekonomi, sosial, budaya, dan lingkungan. Dengan sifatnya yang fleksibel, karena dapat menjangkau berbagai daerah dan metode pembangunannya yang relatif mudah, jalan menjadi infrastruktur favorit untuk dikembangkan. Untuk menghasilkan kualitas pembangunan jalan yang baik diperlukan suatu spesifikasi umum yang harus dipenuhi. Pada tahun 2014, Direktorat Jenderal Bina Marga mengeluarkan Spesifikasi Umum 2010 Revisi 3 yang dilengkapi dengan dokumen Manual Supervisi Jalan yang mengacu pada spesifikasi tersebut. Namun, dengan meningkatnya kebutuhan akan kualitas pembangunan jalan serta meningkatnya kesadaran akan pen-tingnya kegiatan pemeliharaan, pada tahun 2018 Direktorat Jenderal Bina Marga mengeluarkan Spesifikasi Umum 2018. Untuk itu, diperlukan pemahaman terhadap perubahan Spesifikasi Umum tersebut dan perubahan Manual Supervisi Jalan. Kata-kata kunci: pembangunan infrastruktur, pembangunan jalan, spesifikasi umum, manual supervisi
