Springer, Verlag

Contains the proceedings of the Fourth International Conference on Sustainable Development and Planning, held on Cyprus, May 13-15, 2009.The conference addressed the subject of regional development in an integrated way as well as in accordance with the principles of sustainability. It has become apparent that planners, environmentalists, architects, engineers, policy makers and economists have to work together in order to ensure that planning and development can meet our present needs without compromising the ability of future generations.Effective strategies for management should consider planning and regional development, two closely related disciplines, and emphasize the demand to handle these matters in an integrated way. This conference provides a common forum for all scientists specializing in the range of subjects ncluded within sustainable development and planning.Papers from the Fourth International Conference on Sustainable Development and Planning include the following topics: Regional Planning; City Planning; Rural Development; Environmental Impact Assessment; Environmental Management; Environmental Legislation and Policy; Integrated Territorial and Environmental Risk Analysis; Ecosystem Analysis; Protection and Remediation; Social and Cultural Issues; Environmental Economics; Geo-Informatics; Urban Landscapes; Transportation; Waste Management; Resources Management; Forecasting; Politics and Sustainability; Sustainable Developments in Developing Countries; Indicators of Sustainability; Response to World Events; and Marine Environment.

Urban Transport XX contains the proceedings of the 20th International Conference on Urban Transport and the Environment. Transportation in urban areas, with its related environmental and social impacts, is a topic of significant concern for policymakers in both municipal and central government and for urban citizens, who need effective and efficient transportation systems. Urban transportation systems require considerable studies to devise and then safeguard their operational use, maintenance and operational safety. Transportation systems produce significant environmental impacts and can enhance or degrade the quality of life in urban centers. Clearly the challenge of providing effective and efficient transportation systems in urban settings remains an acute challenge, with financial, political and environmental constraints limiting the ability of transportation system planners and operators to deliver the high quality outcomes expected by the public. Topics covered include: Environmental impact; Environmentally friendly transportation modes; Transportation strategies; Public transportation systems; Transportation modelling; Urban transportation simulation; Transportation safety and security; Infrastructure; Land use and transportation integration; Transportation policy and regulations; Experiences from emerging countries; Non-motorized transportation models; Intelligent transportation systems.

This book contains the proceedings of the First International Conference on Waste Management, one of the key problems of the modern world. 
As our awareness of the detrimental environmental effects of current waste disposal grows there is a significant need for more research on current methods such as landfill, incineration, chemical and effluent treatment and also on recycling, waste minimization, clean technologies, waste monitoring, public and corporate awareness and general education. The volume and complexity of the waste discarded intensifies this problem and creates tremendous pressure on disposal capacity forcing the international community to continuously search for optimal and, in accordance with new and more rigorous requirements, acceptable ways of dealing with this problem. 
Almost 80 contributions addressing a wide range of current waste management issues are contained in this volume. These are divided under the following broad subject headings: Advanced Waste Treatment Technology; Methodologies and Practices; Clean Technologies; Physical, Biological, Chemical and Thermal Treatment Methods; Biosolids, Composting and Agricultural Issues; Organic Waste for Soil Improvement; Hazardous Waste; Landfills, Design, Construction and Monitoring; Separation, Transformation and Recycling; Waste Management Strategies and Planning; Water and Wastewater Treatment; Community Involvement and Education.

Containing edited versions of most of the papers presented at the Eleventh International Conference on Computational Methods and Experimental Measurements (CMEM), this book reviews the latest work on these two approaches, and the interaction between them. 
As computer models become ever more successful and realistic, they require detailed data in order to develop better experiments. Scientists working on laboratory and field experiments now produce challenging results that sometimes require different interpretation, leading to the reformulation of analytical tools used in established computer codes. 
This book features over 70 papers providing invaluable information for both scientists specialising in measurement techniques and researchers developing computer codes. The following sections are included: Computational and Analytical Methods; Computer Interaction and Control of Experiments; Damage Mechanics; Data Acquisition and Processing; Dynamics and Vibrations; Electrical and Electromagnetic Applications; Fluid Mechanics; Structural and Stress Analysis; and Thermal Processes.
