El presente artículo, continuación de la comunicación del autor en la pasada 29a Semana de la Carretera (Úbeda y Baeza, octubre de 2016), analiza los nuevos condicionantes ambientales que impone la aplicación de los compromisos adquiridos en la Cumbre de París en la ingeniería de carreteras que, como en cualquier sector, implican una sociedad baja en carbono. A partir de aquí, la necesaria descarbonización de la carretera implica considerar bien las emisiones de Gases de Efecto Invernadero que implica la construcción y posterior explotación de la carretera desde los puntos de vista de la construcción en sí, de los materiales empleados y, sobre todo, del transporte que circula por ellas. El Protocolo de Kioto y, posteriormente, el Acuerdo de París, vienen introducido nuevas variables en el análisis ambiental de cualquier actividad humana que todavía no se consideran de forma completa en la ingeniería de carreteras. En el presente artículo se exponen y analizan las estrategias a seguir en la decarbonización de la carretera dentro de las políticas que, contra el cambio climático, ya están en marcha. This article, a follow-up to the author's communication at the 29th Road Week (Úbeda and Baeza, October 2016), analyzes the new environmental conditions imposed by the implementation of the commitments made at the Paris Summit in the road engineering that, as in any sector, involve a low carbon society. From here, the necessary decarbonisation of the road trasnport implies a good consideration of greenhouse gas emissions, which involves the construction and subsequent exploitation of the road from the point of view of the construction itself, the materials used and, above all, of the transport that circulates by them. The Kyoto Protocol and later the Paris Agreement introduce new variables in the environmental analysis of any human activity that are not yet fully considered in road engineering. In the present article, the strategies to be followed in the decarbonization of the road are exposed and analyzed, within the policies that are already underway against Climate Change.

Infrastructure of communication, and in particular roads, have centuries of existence. The design, construction, operation, maintenance and dismantling have been adapted to the requirements and challenges of each historical period. Sustainability is one of the main challenges of our society, including as main pillars: economic, environmental and social aspects. The assessment of the sustainability of an infrastructure such as a road is a challenge still unsettled. Moreover, the misuse of the term sustainability poses a threat to achieve the objective of evaluating the sustainability of the roads. Given that the concept of sustainability implies different requirements and criteria, it seems reasonable to use multi-criteria methods in decision making. This article presents a brief review of methods to assess the sustainability of the infrastructure. It also proposes the MIVES method to assess the sustainability of roads. It is a multi-criteria method which includes the three main pillars of sustainability: economy, environment and society. The article concludes with an example of application for prioritization of investments in rural roads and its potential conversion in roads of Provincial Government. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article traces the legal outlines of environmental arbitration, particularly from the standpoint of public law, and provides a brief examination of relevant comparative law. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Lasf April 2013 the International Road Research Board (IR2B) started its activities as a new global collaborative platform for high-level stakeholders with a role in the research and innovation activities associated to road infrastructures. IR2B's mission is to promote Smart Roads that play a pivotal role in a smart, green and integrated transportation system that successfully tackles the main challenges faced by the sector: efficiency, safety, security, congestion, pollution and a long-term financing.

Objective. To identify environmental and personal factors associated with social participation in adults with various diseases/health conditions residing in the urban areas of the Belo Horizonte Metropolitan Region, Minas Gerais, Brazil. Methods. Individual characteristics, social participation, and perception of environmental barriers of 226 patients treated at a public rehabilitation referral service were evaluated. Regression analyses with hierarchical entry of data were performed to verify the association of personal and environmental factors with social participation. Results. More years of schooling, being engaged in the labor market, and consuming alcohol are conditions that increase the social participation of patients. Natural environment, transportation, access to health services, and social capital are perceived as the most important barriers to participation. Based on the linear regression analysis, the adjusted coefficient ( R ² adj ) of the full model was 0.42 ( P = 0.000). Conclusions. The results of this study may contribute to the planning and implementation of interventions and public policies at the individual and contextual level that are considered appropriate for reducing barriers and facilitate full participation.
