The impacts of built environment characteristics of rail station areas on travel behavior. Transit-oriented development (TOD) has gained popularity worldwide as a sustainable form of urbanism by concentrating developments near a transit station so as to minimize auto-dependency and maximize ridership.
This study aims to investigate how various factors related to pedestrians, the environment, and the characteristics of metro stations affect the areas where …
Another recent study on pedestrian route choice to access/egress a metro station used built environment characteristics measured at the route level (e.g., route length, sidewalk width, and street ...
This study aimed at exploring the impact of the street-scale built environment on pedestrian route choice to/from a metro station in Tianjin, China. Revealed route choice data to/from a metro station were used to quantify the effects of street-scale attributes of the built environment on pedestrian route choice behavior …
The study examined the level of conformity of filling stations in the Wa Municipality to two national standards on safe distance—the Ghana National Petroleum Authority (GNPA) 30.8 m health ...
In the present research, the environmental impacts of turnouts will be evaluated based on life cycle assessment (LCA). LCA is used to understand, quantify, and analyse products on a life cycle basis (Rebitzer et al., 2004).Previous studies underpin the necessity to quantify the greenhouse gas emissions of transport infrastructure provision.

1. Introduction. Solar photovoltaic (PV) technology has become an increasingly important energy supply option globally. At the end of 2016, installed capacity worldwide exceeded 300 GW (Anonymous, 2016).A substantial decline in the cost of solar PV panels (or modules) has improved solar PV's competitiveness, reducing the need for …
Among the direct environmental threats posed by the unsustainable development of transportation networks are environmental fragmentation, leading to …
During the siting and permitting of solar projects, solar developers typically evaluate multiple sites, site designs, and operation strategies. They assess the environmental impacts of their projects by complying with the relevant federal, state, and local laws; soliciting input from regulators; and performing impact assessments and mitigation.
Fig. 1 reports the system boundaries of the LCA study: they are cradle to grave and include the three typical phases of construction, operation and end-of-life. The exploration stage prior to construction was not considered due to lack of data. This study adopts the pragmatic distinction between foreground and background systems, whereby …
Emissions from thermal power stations have got a deleterious impact on the surrounding agro-ecosystem including rural health. The present study was carried out to elicit the facts and information ...
In this paper, a comparative assessment is made among the fifteen mid-point environmental impacts from the two major excavation schemes in subway construction, i.e. the open-excavation (OE) and underground-excavation (UE) scheme.
While the majority of human impacts in Antarctica resulting from national science programmes have been associated with research station construction, operation and resupply (Tin et al., 2009 ...
Based on that study, it is possible that the lack of a "green" environment plus the constant filtration of environmental air in the ISS contributes to the overall reduction of skin Proteobacteria.
1. Introduction. Public bike systems have become popular in many cities, in order to increase cycling, improve the accessibility of traditional public transport, and lessen the impact of motorized transport activities (Kaltenbrunner et al., 2010, Lin and Yang, 2011).Public bike programs provide public access to pick up and return bicycles at …
The central focus of this study is the examination of fuel stations as potent sources of groundwater contamination. Despite their undeniable socio-economic importance [8, 9], fuel stations also ...
Investigating the impact of the built environment around rail stations on ridership as well as assessing the spatial and temporal variation of that impact is helpful to improving the operational ...
This section provides a comparative analysis of four critical aspects of rail transport that include environmental impacts, economic impacts, social impacts, and …
The study is an impact assessment of the operations of Gasoline Service Stations on the socio-economic environment (and not on the bio-physical environment) of the area. The Study Area Karu is located at Latitude 7° 34' 32' and Longitude 8° 59' 46' in Nasarawa State North Central region of Nigeria.
A case study of 60 samples of sediment in the Sea Najaf. With the analysis of three different types of pollution indices (pollution factor, geographic accumulation index, and enrichment factor ...
Obviously, this variable could be endogenous. In addition, the scope of this study narrows down on analyzing the mediation effect of station caption on the built environment and station-level trip attractions, it does not account for the spatial interactions between the analytical units (Faghih-Imani & Eluru, 2016; Noland et al., …
