Abstract:
While scholars agree that frame bridging contributes to movement expansion, this article identifies the underinvestigated concept of frame-movement scope mismatch—the phenomenon where the scope of movement frames and the scope of the movements that employ such frames do not match, such as a movement that adopts internationalist rhetoric yet remains local. This study investigates this mismatch based on cases of anti-U.S. military siting campaigns where similar frame bridging strategies resulted in movements of different scales. Findings show that movement scope expansion depended on the politicization of siting disputes that provided siting opponents with political opportunities for coalition building and qualified the causal influence of frame bridging. Varying external political circumstances, in other words, interacted with the invariant feature of frame bridging to determine frame resonance and coalitional mobilization.

Abstract:
Taking networked social movements as a fieldsite, I chart how the Occupy Movement transformed as activists turned to building infrastructure as a mode of political participation. Critically, infrastructure is not simply a feature of networked social movements, but forms its core capacities. Integrating insights from militant ethnography with STS research on infrastructure studies, I illustrate how to use these methods to render visible the infrastructure of networked social movements. Because militant research projects and STS scholarship have a dual role of making knowledge about as well as knowledge for participants, examining the epistemological foundations of social movement research requires understanding the researcher’s purpose for participating and, then, operationalizing their knowledge. To illustrate this, I introduce cybercartography, a theory/methods package, for mapping organizational change in order, scale, and scope across networked social movements. As such, cybercartography bridges academic knowledge production with activists’ goals to organize action.

Abstract:
This article thinks with infrastructure about the stable movement of knowledge objects such as crime scene reports, traces, and order forms through the Swedish criminal justice system. Infrastructures span different communities and borders; the criminal justice system is made up of necessarily disparate epistemic cultures. Thus, they share a central concern: Both aim for stable movement from one context to another. Thinking with infrastructure, the article argues, makes it possible to widen analytical focus and capture the structures and the continuous work that resolve the tension between different sites and thus enable the stable movement of knowledge objects. Using sensibilities from infrastructure studies– for the resolution of tensions, for continuous maintenance, and for inequalities – the article argues that the criminal justice system enacts the knowledge objects’ stability across epistemic cultures. In other words, the stable movement of evidence-to-be through the Swedish criminal justice system is the result of infrastructuring, that is, of its continuous creating of conditions that facilitate movement and create and re-create stability. This perspective may be useful for studying the movement of knowledge also in other contexts.

Abstract:
The ongoing history of setter colonialism is inextricable from the infrastructures of energy and extraction that provide its material foundation. Addressing this inextricable relationship, this article explores how Indigenous solarities in Canada resist extractivism and generate conditions for just energy futures beyond settler colonialism through emergent solar infrastructures. Developing a preliminary theory of Indigenous solarities, this article anchors the author’s observations to Lubicon Cree energy justice activist Melina Laboucan-Massimo’s Sacred Earth Solar initiative and its two completed projects: the Piitapan Solar Project in Laboucan-Massimo’s home community of Little Buffalo, Alberta, Canada, which powers a community health center, and a partnership with the Tiny House Warriors. The Tiny House Warriors is a Secwepemcled movement to construct mobile tiny houses along the path of the Trans Mountain Expansion Pipeline Project. This article’s approach is methodologically informed by recent infrastructural thinking from theorists such as Lauren Berlant and Deborah Cowen who offer an expansive, relational understanding of infrastructure. It is also informed by thinkers such as Myles Lennon and Dagmar Lorenz-Meyer, who respectively see in solar energy infrastructures the possibilities to decolonize energy and to generate a feminist techno-ecological ethos. This article offers a brief account of the historical and contemporary relationship between settler colonialism and infrastructural development in Canada, before providing an overview of three mutually informing frameworks for preliminarily thinking through the materialization of Indigenous solarities: as media of resistance; as expressions of Indigenous feminism; and as expressions of Indigenous futurisms. The article concludes by scaling out from the context of Sacred Earth Solar’s emergent infrastructures of Indigenous solarities, connecting these efforts with larger movements of Indigenous resistance and renewable energy infrastructure initiatives. Ultimately, this article argues that Indigenous solarities signify myriad potentialities for reorienting our collective energy imaginaries from scarcity to abundance in ways that foreground Indigenous self-determination against and beyond extractivism.

Abstract:
Linear infrastructures are a primary driver of economic development. However, they also can negatively affect wildlife by mortality and the barrier effect. In this paper, we address how paved and unpaved roads, high-tension power lines, and gas/oil pipelines affect home range size, core areas, and movement in an endangered primate, the golden lion tamarin (GLT). Location data were recorded using radio telemetry on 16 groups in two protected areas and in privately owned forest fragments. The GLT’s home range, not core area, increased in size for the groups that occupied locations far from linear infrastructures; home range was also significantly influenced by available forest size. None of the home ranges contained a road, but home ranges did contain power lines. GLTs used the surrounding landscape near all types of infrastructure. Movement analysis showed that most of the step lengths (distances between subsequent locations) were less than 100 m between two consecutive locations, but step length was longer for roads and longer for groups in fully forested habitats. Tamarins avoided paved roads when in close proximity to this type of infrastructure; this behavior increased in areas without adequate adjacent forest habitat. Our results show that linear infrastructures differ in their level of impact: roads can act as a barrier, whereas other types of infrastructure have minimal effect on movement and home range. We discuss these differences in impact in terms of structure, maintenance schedules, and edge effects of infrastructure.

Abstract:
Th is article argues that smart transportation—understood as convergences of communication and transportation infrastructure to facilitate movement—has long been manifested in what John Urry has described as nexus systems, or those that require many elements to work synchronously.1 Understanding smart infrastructures as those aligning with twenty-first-century sensibilities concerning technology, convenience, safety, and security, I demonstrate a longer trajectory for this seemingly new trend in three cases: (1) the synchronization of the train with the telegraph, (2) the organization of early automobility, and (3) information-rich/connected automobility and the driverless car. Rethinking smart infrastructure historically reveals a long-existing tendency rather than a new one to manage movement via communication technologies.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to investigate the threats posed by mass movement to infrastructure between Arthur's Pass and Greymouth. This large area has been split into three sections; Arthur's Pass to Jacksons, Jacksons to Greymouth via Kumara, and Jacksons to Greymouth via Moana. The geology, topography, vegetation and land use vary considerably within this area, and the main infrastructure elements investigated are roads, the railway, and smaller townships. Two of the specific objectives of the study were to develop an historical mass movement inventory, and to create mass movement hazard maps. The West Coast Historical Mass Movement Inventory was compiled from current and archived files of infrastructure management organisations, and incorporates an inventory started by West Coast Regional Council in 2002. Mass movement hazard maps were created through aerial photograph interpretation and field mapping. They incorporate a fourtier hazard ranking system, where red is high hazard or active in the last 5 years, orange is moderate hazard or active in the last 50 years, blue is low hazard or not active in the last 50 years, and non-coloured areas are considered to be very low hazard areas. The series of seven 1:10,000 maps included in the thesis cover the area along the infrastructure alignments east of Harris Swamp and Rotomanu, and west of Arthur's Pass village. The database can be interrogated with built-in searches to retrieve information on specific sites, dates, and triggers. Other searches can be built, in the database, which select different information. From the information contained in the database and the mass movement hazard maps, key mass movement features, in particular bedrock failures, colluvium failures, debris fans and alluvial fans, have been identified. The threats to each route segment and township are compared on the basis of how much damage they have caused in the past, and how recently they have been active. Another of the objectives of the study was to investigate triggering of mass movements. Precipitation and seismicity are identified as the key triggers of damaging mass movement events, with precipitation by far the dominant one in the short time-frame assessed. However, the triggering relationships are complex and thresholds for rainfall quantities that trigger mass movements, or above which mass movements cause damage, were not able to be determined with any reliability. The three main forms of damage to infrastructure in the study area are impact damage, blockage of waterways at culverts and bridges, and erosion. The two most common incidents of damage recorded in the mass movement inventory are debris depositing on the road and/or railway, and culverts being blocked causing diversion of streams and resulting in erosion and/or deposition elsewhere. Erosion by the major rivers, the Taramakau River, the Otira River and the Grey River, also occurs frequently. Remedial measures for these types of damage are briefly discussed, particularly with reference to debris fans and debris flows, which are a major, and at times underestimated, threat through the study area. This thesis presents a method of assessing mass movement hazard to an infrastructure corridor, and highlights problem sites along the route investigated. An opportunity for further research exists in developing this method further, particularly to investigate aggradation damage from large earthquakes.

Abstract:
In an ever-moving world, urban governance and infrastructure have to adapt to climate change. In the meantime, people's concerns and engagement towards urban projects which will affect their lives are growing. The climate change adaptation process is inevitable to implement, considering the multiplicity of climate change threats. Hawai'i is no exception, and it has to adapt its infrastructures to stronger and more frequent floods. This master's thesis highlights the case of the Ala Wai risk flood management plan in Hawai'i, the U.S., and the engagement of some Hawaiians in the Protect Our Ala Wai Watershed (POAWW) grassroots movement against the proposed project. The conflict creates the emergence of two paradigms, which are translating two opposing strategies of action. Each paradigm aligns with a specific approach that reflects the interests and value systems of the individuals that constituted it. On the one hand, there is the economic growth paradigm supported by the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), which manages the project and unfolds the resilience strategy by protecting Honolulu's dominant economic interests. On the other hand, there is the environmental justice paradigm, mobilized by the POAWW grassroots movement. This latter one is positioned within the transition strategy and demands the integration of indigenous knowledge into the project. To go beyond this conflictual standoff, the master's thesis argues that a hybrid paradigm, which would move towards a transformation strategy, would be preferable to surpass the current cleavages. This paradigm shift gives keys of actions and could be transferable in a contextualized way to other urban conflicts linked with the climate change adaptation process.

Abstract:
La thèse porte sur le mouvement de Résistance Civile "Luz y Fuerza del Pueblo", actif dans l'état du Chiapas, au Mexique. Surgi dans la première moitié des années 2000, le mouvement est notamment composé par des paysans d'origine indigène. Cependant, il ne peut pas être défini en tant que "mouvement paysan" ni en tant que "mouvement indigène" non plus. L'électricité étant au cœur de son existence, il considère celle-ci comme un droit fondamental, pour laquelle revendique un accès universel et non-discriminatoire. Ses activistes se branchent de façon directe au réseau électrique et opèrent une gestion autonome de ce dernier, dans les territoires sous leur contrôle. Au même temps, l'électricité n'est qu'un instrument d'une plus ample lutte politique visant l'autonomie gouvernementale et la justice sociale. Pour cette raison, l'hypothèse selon laquelle le cas de Luz y Fuerza del Pueblo puisse représenter une forme de mobilisation sociale émergente typique de l'âge de l'Anthropocène, est posée et discutée. Le travail s'articule autour de trois parties. La première partie offre une introduction au contexte du Mexique contemporain, à travers les éléments les plus récurrentes dans les narrations que les acteurs sur le terrain produisent pour décrire leurs propres conditions de vie: pauvreté, dégâts des politiqués libérales, violence structurelle, exclusion socioéconomique et politique. Dans la deuxième partie, l'état de l'art de l'anthropologie des mouvements sociaux est délinéé, et les principales orientations théoriques sur lesquelles l'étude s'appuie sont explicités. Plus spécifiquement, les processus historiques et épistémologique qui a amené l'autonomie à s'affirmer en tant que paradigme théorique et politique majeur est retracé, avec une attention particulière à comment – à partir dès derniers décennies du XX siècle – elle a progressivement inspirés les luttes paysannes d'Amérique Latine. La troisième partie est entièrement consacrée è l'ethnographie du mouvement Luz y Fuerza del Pueblo. Celle-ci se déroule à travers l'analyse détaillée des motivations des activistes, des leurs objectifs politiques et, finalement, de leurs expériences, formes et imaginaires de résistance. Le travail se conclut avec des considérations critiques sur les politiques concernant les peuples indigènes du Chiapas, annoncées par le président "socialiste" Andrés Manuel López Obrador pendant les cent premiers jours de son mandat
The thesis is about the Civil Resistance Movement "Luz y Fuerza del Pueblo", from Chiapas, Mexico. It was born in the first years of the 2000s and the majority of its activists are peasant and indigenous. Though, it can't be defined as a "peasant movement", nor as an "indigenous movement. At the core of its mission there is electricity, indeed, which the Movement considers as a basic right, whose access – it claims - should be universal and nondiscriminatory. Accordingly, in the territories controlled by its activists, the Movement performs a direct access to the power grid and an autonomous management of it. Yet, at the same time, it makes use of electricity as a means of wider political struggle aimed to autonomy and social justice. In this sense, Luz y Fuerza case may be revealing of a more general trend potentially informing social mobilizations in the Age of Anthropocene. The work is organized in three parts. The first part introduces contemporary Mexico, by means of the main categories local actors mobilized to describe their living conditions: poverty, liberal policies, structural violence, and socioeconomic and political exclusion. The second part defines the state of the art in the anthropology of social movements and the main theoretical references inspiring the study. Specifically, the historical and epistemological process leading to the emergence of autonomy as a theoretical and political paradigm is retraced. And it is shown how this latter has progressively informed Latin-American peasant struggles since the last decades of the 1900s. The third part is completely devoted to the ethnography of Luz y Fuerza del Pueblo. This provides an in-depth representation of the Movement and of its history. Which is followed by an analysis of the motivations for the activists to militate in such a movement. Its political agenda is therefore investigated. The experiences, the forms and the imaginaries of the civil resistance performed by the Movement are eventually observed. In the conclusions, the work proposes some critical insights about the policies on indigenous people and Chiapas, implemented by the "socialist" president Andrés Manuel López Obrador during the first hundred days of his term
La tesi verte sul Movimento di Resistenza Civile "Luz y Fuerza del Pueblo" attivo nello stato del Chiapas, Messico. Sorto nella prima metà degli anni 2000, esso ha una composizione maggioritariamente contadina ed indigena. Ma non può essere definito né come "movimento contadino", né come "movimento indigeno". Esso pone infatti al centro della propria agenda l'elettricità, che considera come diritto fondamentale e per la quale rivendica un accesso pieno ed universale. Il Movimento opera pertanto un accesso diretto alla rete elettrica e una gestione autonoma della stessa, nei territori controllati dai suoi attivisti. Al contempo, però, esso fa dell'energia elettrica uno strumento di lotta per un più ampio programma politico che ha come fino l'autogoverno e una maggiore giustizia sociale. In questo senso, si ipotizza che il caso specifico di Luz y Fuerza del Pueblo possa essere rivelatore di una più ampia tendenza che potrebbe informare le mobilitazioni sociali all'epoca dell'Antropocene. Il lavoro si articola in tre parti. Nella prima parte si procede a un'introduzione al contesto del Messico contemporaneo, con una precipua attenzione agli elementi a cui gli attori sul campo ricorrono per descrivere le proprie condizioni di vita: povertà, politiche liberali, violenza strutturale ed esclusione socioeconomica e politica. Nella seconda parte viene delineato lo stato dell'arte dell'antropologia dei movimenti sociali e i principali orizzonti teorici a cui lo studio fa riferimento. In particolare, si ripercorre il processo storico ed epistemologico che ha portato l'autonomia ad emergere come paradigma teorico e politico, e come a partire dagli ultimi decenni del XX secolo, questa abbia progressivamente informato le lotte contadine, in particolare dell'America Latina. La terza parte è interamente dedicata all'etnografia del movimento Luz y Fuerza del Pueblo, con una rappresentazione approfondita dello stesso e della sua storia, da un'analisi delle motivazioni dei suoi attivisti, dall'esame della suo programma politico e, infine, da un approfondimento sulle esperienze, sulle forme e sugli immaginari della resistenza civile di cui è protagonista. Il lavoro si conclude con alcuni spunti critici sulle politiche riguardanti i popoli indigeni e il Chiapas, adottate dal presidente "socialista" Andrés Manuel López Obrador a cento giorni dal suo insediamento

COORDENAÇÃO DE APERFEIÇOAMENTO DO PESSOAL DE ENSINO SUPERIOR
PROGRAMA DE SUPORTE À PÓS-GRADUAÇÃO DE INSTS. DE ENSINO
O Brasil é uma potência no agronegócio mundial e o setor sucroalcooleiro é um dos seus pilares, sendo o segundo em valor exportado na pauta de exportações brasileira em 2010. O Brasil apresenta características climáticas favoráveis para o desenvolvimento da cana, além de uma ampla extensão para cultivo. Atualmente, o país é líder mundial em produção e exportação de açúcar, foco deste trabalho. A região Centro-Sul destaca-se por ser a grande produtora do país, responsável por 87 por cento da produção nacional da safra 2009/2010 e, por consequência, onde se mais movimenta o produto com destino ao mercado externo. O Brasil cresceu bastante no setor nas últimas décadas com investimentos em maquinários e modernização tecnológica, que juntamente com as características climáticas e ampla terra de cultivo contribuem para forte competitividade do país, frente aos grandes produtores mundiais de açúcar, em termos de custos produtivos. Porém, toda essa competitividade produtiva é afetada pelos gargalos gerados pelas deficiências da infraestrutura logística, que impactam num elevado custo logístico. A fim de promover a aceleração do desenvolvimento econômico do país, o governo lança em 2007 o PAC, mediante investimentos em diversos setores, dentre os quais o de infraestrutura logística. Seus principais objetivos são: minimizar os gargalos do setor, promover um maior equilíbrio da matriz de transportes, onde atualmente predomina o modal rodoviário. Sendo assim, esse trabalho tem como objetivo analisar a infraestrutura logística utilizada na exportação de açúcar na região Centro Sul e os impactos que serão gerados pelas obras do PAC no setor.
Brazil is a significant player in the global agribusiness, in which the sugar and alcohol sector is one of its pillars, as the second largest in export value in the list of Brazilian exports in 2010. Brazil has favorable climatic characteristics for the development of sugar cane, and most of the agriculture areas of the country have suitable conditions for its cultivation. Currently, the country is the world leader in production and exportation of sugar, the focus of this work. The South-Central region stands out for being the major producer in the country, accounting for 87per cent of national production in 2009/2010 and therefore the predominant source of the product destined for the export market. The industry that supports sugar production in Brazil has grown significantly in recent decades, with investments in machinery and technological modernization which, together with the climatic characteristics and extensive farmland, in terms of production costs contribute to strong competitiveness of the country, compared to the other major world producers. However, all that favorable productive competitiveness is affected by the bottlenecks created by the deficiency of the logistics infrastructure that impact the logistics costs. In order to promote the acceleration of economic development of the country, the federal government launched in 2007 the PAC, or Plan for Accelerating Growth, through investments in various sectors, among which the logistics infrastructure. Its main objectives are to minimize the bottlenecks of the sector, promote a more balanced transport matrix, which currently is dominated by the highways. Thus, this study aims to analyze the logistics infrastructure used to export sugar from the South-Central region and the impacts that the PAC will generate in the industry.

Abstract:
La construction de nouvelles Infrastructures Linéaires de Transports ILTs (routes, autoroutes, voies ferrées) amène une destruction d’habitats et peut constituer des zones de risques (mortalité) et/ou restreindre les déplacements des espèces dans les habitats environnants. Les amphibiens sont fortement touchés par ces effets. Les réalisations récentes nécessitent de mettre en œuvre des mesures de réduction d’impact visant à améliorer la transparence écologique de ces infrastructures à l’aide de la séquence « Éviter-Réduire-Compenser (ERC) ». Lors de la construction d’une nouvelle Ligne à Grande Vitesse « la LGV Bretagne – Pays de la Loire » dans l’ouest de la France inaugurée en 2017, des mesures relevant de la séquence ERC ont été mises en place. Cette thèse vise à évaluer les mesures de la séquence ERC qui permettraient aux communautés d’amphibiens de réaliser les mouvements nécessaires au bon fonctionnement des populations (migration saisonnière et dispersion). Elle a été réalisée dans le cadre de l’observatoire environnemental de la LGV (contrat CIFRE EPHE-EGIS en partenariat avec EIFFAGE). La thèse repose sur deux approches : (1) des suivis de déplacements par Capture-Marquage-Recapture effectués dans cinq secteurs incluant des mesures de réduction (installation de tunnel sous la LGV) et de compensation (création de nouvelles mares) pour trois espèces de tritons (Triton marbré Triturus marmoratus, Triton crêté Triturus cristatus et Triton alpestre Ichthyosaura alpestris). Les recaptures des animaux marqués individuellement révèlent des échanges entre des mares situées de part et d’autre de la LGV (fréquentation des tunnels) ainsi que la colonisation des nouveaux sites de reproduction. (2) Des expériences de « homing » pour étudier le comportement de franchissement des tunnels ; des antennes RFID placées dans trois tunnels (1 x1 m) et de longueur variable (de 18,5 à 40 m) ont permis de détecter les mouvements des individus marqués avec des PIT-tags (Crapaud épineux Bufo spinosus, I. alpestris, T. marmoratus, T. cristatus, grenouilles vertes du système Pelophylax lessonae - P. kl. esculentus), Grenouille agile Rana dalmatina et Salamandre tachetée Salamandra salamandra). Une grande variabilité interindividuelle et spécifique des mouvements est observée, qui varie en fonction de la longueur des tunnels. L’enrichissement sonore (émission de chants d’amphibiens anoures dans le tunnel) améliore les mouvements des Pelophylax et des T. cristatus (taux et vitesse de franchissement, distances parcourues). La thèse montre la nécessité d’un effort important (effectif d’animaux marqués) pour mettre en évidence la présence d’échanges (rares) entre sites de reproduction, et l’utilisation des tunnels et des mares comme mesures d’atténuation. La mise au point d’une méthode d’évaluation des mouvements dans les tunnels (puce RFID et antennes fixes) permettra de tester différents facteurs (longueurs, substrats, etc.) pour améliorer leur utilisation et leur efficacité. L’enrichissement sonore apparaît comme une méthode prometteuse pour accompagner la mise en œuvre de passages à petite faune
Construction of new Linear Transport Infrastructure LTI (roads, motorways, railways) leads to habitat destruction and may constitute areas of risk (mortality) and/or restrict the movement of species in surrounding habitats. Amphibians are strongly affected by these effects. Recent projects have implemented impact mitigation measures to improve the ecological transparency of these structures using the sequence “Avoid Reduce Compensate (ARC)”. During the construction of a new High Speed Railway “Bretagne–Pays de la Loire HSR” in North-West France inaugurated in 2017, measures under the ARC sequence have been implemented. This thesis aims to evaluate measures of the ARC sequence that would allow amphibian communities to carry out the movements needed for population functioning (seasonal migration and dispersal). It was carried out as part of the HSR environmental observatory (CIFRE EPHE-EGIS contract in partnership with EIFFAGE). The thesis is based on two approaches: (1) monitoring of movements by Capture-Marking-Recapture conducted in five areas including reduction measures (installation of a tunnel under the high-speed line) and compensation measures (creation of new ponds) for three newt species (marbled newt Triturus marmoratus, great crested newt Triturus cristatus and alpine newt Ichthyosaura alpestris). The recaptures of individually marked animals reveal exchanges between ponds located on either side of the high-speed line (use of tunnels) and colonisation of new breeding sites. (2) Homing experiments to study tunnel crossing behaviour. RFID antennas placed in three tunnels (1x1m) and of variable length (from 18.5 to 40 m) made it possible to detect the movements of individuals tagged with PIT-tags (spiny toad Bufo spinosus, I. alpestris, T. marmoratus, T. cristatus, water frogs of the Pelophylax lessonae - P. kl. esculentus system), agile frog Rana dalmatina and fire salamander Salamandra salamandra). A great inter-individual and specific variability of movements is observed, and varies according to the length of the tunnels. Acoustic enrichment (Broadcasting of amphibian calls in the tunnel) improves the movements (rate and speed crossing, distances travelled) of Pelophylax and T. cristatus. The thesis shows the need for a significant effort (number of marked animals) to show the presence of (rare) exchanges between breeding sites, and the use of tunnels and ponds as mitigation measures.

Abstract:
Interdependencies between infrastructures which enable the flow resources have the potential to increase the vulnerability of interconnected systems of supply chains to disruption via cascading mechanisms. These interactions are poorly understood as there are limited observations whilst the movement of resources can occur at many spatial scales. It is a complex problem because of both the number of components and the dynamic nature of the systems that allow these to move around. To analyse the disruption of resource flows within interdependent systems, this paper introduces a resource model that pulls together two established modelling methodologies: input-output modelling and network analysis. Data on supply, demand and flows are typically only provided at coarse spatial scales, so an important development was the disaggregation of regional economic input-output data into smaller spatial units. The model was tested using a case study of Lerwick in the Shetland Islands. It was found, when flood defences were taken into account, the level of risk from storm surges of various magnitudes was low. The model was able to highlight unknown linkages and reaffirm an increase in vulnerability caused by Just-in-time management strategies and the clustering of like industries. As part of this a flood risk analysis technique was presented which highlighted the potential impacts of floods of varying magnitudes, as well how the flood protection affected the levels of risk caused by these events. A second case study of the food distribution network in New York was also developed to provide validation through the recreation of the effects post Tropical Storm Sandy. The research provided a rationale for an encouragement of a move away from just-in-time production to take place and halt the fashion of making supply chains leaner. It also encouraged an increase in cooperation to take place between companies to understand the vulnerabilities within their own supply chains.

Abstract:
This dissertation examines the production of an everyday politics of infrastructure within informal settlements in the Khayelitsha area of Cape Town, South Africa. As residents attempt to meet water, sanitation, and electricity needs through assemblages of informal service connections, in addition to limited formal services provided by the municipality, their material exclusions are articulated as evidence of persistent political marginality. Residents engage in multiple modes of politicized action seeking expansion to formal infrastructure and full inclusion in the promises of citizenship. However, they also face an array of complications created by municipal reliance upon neoliberal policies, practices, and logics. Despite a nominal emphasis on participatory processes of governance and development, municipal approaches to service provision and community engagement produce further marginalization. In order to theorize the intersection of neoliberal urban governance and democratic practice, this dissertation examines participation as the result of complex interactions between everyday experience, urban governance, circulating moral logics, and the work of civil society. The realm of politics emerges as one unbound by parties, NGOs, or social movements; instead, it is read dialectically both into and from the landscape of informality. Across three articles, this dissertation examines participation as a contested terrain of politicized action, shaped by neoliberal practices of governance, post-colonial tensions, and uneven social acknowledgement of experience, knowledge, and action.

Full text
Abstract:
Previous studies have shown that a valid roundabout design approach should include a determination of design elements based on the position of design vehicle’s movement trajectories obtained by swept path analysis in early project stages, and not a conduction of swept path analysis at the end of design process. Several software which enable such significant progress in the design practice (optimal design of roundabout elements based on the results of vehicle movement simulation) are currently available on the market. Consequently, it is of great importance to know their accuracy. The reliability of vehicle movement simulation results is usually verified by field tests in which the distances between the test vehicle’s movement trajectories are measured by means of a meter, which is a dilatory and time-consuming process. Within the scope of this study, a new approach for determination of the position of test vehicle’s movement trajectories at the test site using a precise GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) device is described. The test vehicle was conducting a critical manoeuvre (left turn for 270°) for ten times, and the distances between its movement trajectories were determined by means of a meter and a precise GNSS device. The situation on the test site was then simulated on a computer and the assessment of the accuracy of chosen software for vehicle movement simulation was made.

Full text
Abstract:
The determination of the geometric vehicle movement is significant for the appropriate design of a road element, such as an intersection or a parking lot, because it ensures safe, smooth and without abrupt changes movements especially for heavy vehicles. Consequently, the accurate and correct swept path analysis of the vehicles determines the geometry of the horizontal alignment. Also, the selection of the design vehicle is a factor that affects the geometric characteristics of the analysis. The AASHTO Green Book presents the minimum turning paths, the maximum steering angle and the minimum centerline turning radius (CTR) for typical design vehicles. In order to simplify the geometrical problem of swept path analysis, the speed in sharp curve road is considered to be low and more specifically less than 15 km/h. However, this condition does not represent the actual vehicle movement, gap that the present paper aims to bridge by performing swept path analysis for increased travel speeds. There are only few cases, especially along urban road network that the lateral force applied on the vehicles that traverse horizontal transition curves are neglected due to low travel speed. On the contrary, in other road projects the transition curve is an integral design element and have advantages in geometric regularity of heavy vehicles movement because of their steering mechanism. Based on the literature review, in this study the design vehicles paths which are considered as clothoid shapes are correlated with their corresponding travel speeds. The implemented methodology considers various design vehicles which travel in various speeds, performing U-Turns.

Full text
Abstract:
While automated trucking developers have established regular commercial shipments, operations and testing remain limited largely to limited-access highways like interstates. This infrastructure provides a platform or operating environment that is highly structured, with generally good road conditions and visible lane markings. To date, these deployments have not included routine movements from hub to hub, whether on or off these limited-access facilities. Benefits such as safety, fuel efficiency, staffing for long-haul trips, and a strengthened supply chain turn enable broader deployment which can enable movement from one transportation system to another. Infrastructure Enablers and Automated Vehicles: Trucking focuses on unresolved issues between the automated vehicle industry and infrastructure owners and operators that stand in the way of using infrastructure—both physical and digital—to extend use cases for automated trucking to more operational design domains (ODDs). The report also examines opportunities and recommendations related the integration of automated trucking across transportation networks and the supply chain. The topics include road conditions and lane marking visibility, work zone navigation, transfer hubs, and facility design, as well as connected and electric charging infrastructure.

Full text
Abstract:
Asian elephants are endangered across their remaining home ranges in South and Southeast Asia. According to recent estimates, fewer than 52,000 individuals remain in the wild across 13 range states. Ongoing loss and fragmentation of habitat, increasingly caused by the development and operation of linear transport infrastructure (LTI) - such as roads, railways, and highways - is now exacerbating these threats. The Asian Elephant Transport Working Group (AsETWG) began collaboration in early 2019 to focus its efforts on developing solutions for conserving core habitats and decreasing mortality and barriers to Asian elephant movement. This publication marks a first milestone in AsETWG's work. It highlights the impacts that LTI has on Asian elephants and their habitats, addresses existing frameworks for reducing elephant-transport conflicts, provides seven case studies and a focus on emerging technologies, and makes general recommendations for inspiring urgent and practical actions.

Full text
Abstract:
Regional Air Mobility (RAM) focuses on building upon existing airport infrastructure to transport people and goods using innovative aircraft that offer a huge improvement in efficiency, affordability, and community-friendly integration over existing regional transportation options. These aircraft, which typically carry less than 20 passengers or an equivalent weight in cargo, are flexible in terms of where they can take off and land, even using existing runways and infrastructure to maximize compatibility with today’s airports. This project examines the feasibility of RAM supporting high-speed transportation for high-priority passenger and cargo movement within Fresno County and connection to coastal urban centers. Some examples of high-priority passengers and cargo could include, but would not be limited to, medical patients needing specialized and/or emergency treatment, organ transport, and critical medical supply deliveries. Electrification of aviation is happening, and Fresno County has the potential to combine our existing closely spaced underutilized airport infrastructure, early demonstration, and experience with electric aircraft, renewable energy opportunities, central location within the state, and the need to open the door for new industry opportunities for youth to take advantage of this “Third Revolution” in aviation.

Full text
Abstract:
Thaw of permafrost and associated ground ice melt can reduce ground stability, modify terrain, and reconfigure drainage patterns affecting terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems and presenting challenges to northern infrastructure and societies. The integrity of ground-based transportation infrastructure is critical to northern communities. Geomorphic features can indicate ground ice presence and thaw susceptibility. This Geological Survey of Canada Open File presents the digital georeferenced database of landforms identified in continuous permafrost terrain using high-resolution satellite imagery. The database is for a 10 km-wide corridor centered on the Dempster and Inuvik-Tuktoyaktuk highways. This 875 km-long transect traverses a variety of geological and physiographic terrain types, including glaciated and non-glaciated terrain, in the northcentral Yukon and northwestern Northwest Territories, where variation in climate, relief, ecology, and disturbance have produced a variety of periglacial conditions. We identified geomorphic features in high-resolution (0.6 m) satellite imagery visualized in 3D, and digitized them in ArcGIS. We used custom Python scripts to populate the attributes for each geomorphic feature. A total of 8746 features were mapped by type and categorized within three main classes: hydrological (n = 1188), mass movement (n = 2435), and periglacial (n = 5123). Features were identified at 1:10 000 and mapped at 1:5000. This report presents the geospatial database in ESRI shapefile, Keyhole Markup Language (KML), and comma-delineated formats.

Full text
Abstract:
Situated in a complex region of the world, Puntland State in Somalia is dealing with a range of threats and instabilities such as droughts, floods, locusts, the movement of internally displaced people (IDPs), and armed actors. COVID-19 has added yet another strain on its tremendously fragile infrastructure. The impact of the pandemic has been far reaching, affecting livelihoods and hampering unpaid and underpaid care work and responsibilities. The multitude of crises and rates of inflation have left the majority of families food insecure and without income, halted education and health services, and exacerbated existing vulnerabilities and the incidence of violence. This gender analysis was conducted and funded by the German Federal Foreign Office (GFFO), in partnership with Oxfam in Somalia and KAALO, to better help local government bodies, agencies, NGOs, and INGOs grasp the differentiated impact of the crises on women, men, boys, and girls, and host and IDP communities, during this time of intense loss and instability. The analysis provides an overview of the experiences of the affected communities, and gives recommendations on how to address immediate concerns and plan future programming.

Full text
Abstract:
This study utilized automatic identification system (AIS) data to quantify vessel traffic patterns within a predominantly US port network from 1 January 2009 to 31 December 2020, with the methods validated using independent data sets collected between 1 January 2015 and 31 December 2019. The analysis focused on South Atlantic Division (SAD) ports. AIS-derived data characterized individual ports’ traffic and port-to-port connectivity for the network. With foreign vessel entrances and clearances (E&C) data, the AIS-reported vessel characteristics enabled calculation of ships’ physical volume, which was a reasonable proxy for tonnage at many SAD ports. The PageRank algorithm was then applied to port-to-port traffic, revealing how individual ports participate in cargo movement through the network. PageRank scores also provided insight into the maritime supply chain beyond traditional traffic metrics. For example, many East Coast SAD ports ranked higher by PageRank than by raw tonnage. Because of the supply chain implications of shared vessel traffic, PageRank scores can augment tonnage metrics when prioritizing channel and infrastructure maintenance. Vessel volume, port-to-port connectivity, and PageRank scores reveal maritime supply chain resilience by identifying alternative destinations for cargo bound for disrupted ports, robustness across supply chains, and the effects of seasonality and disruptions.

Abstract:
The Geological Survey of Canada (GSC)mp;gt;'s Public Safety Geoscience Program (PSGP) has collaborated with the Canada Centre for Remote Sensing (CCRS) to assess the performance of new RCM data for monitoring slope movements. The PSGP has the mandate to study natural hazards and provide baseline geoscience information to help stakeholders and decision-makers mitigate against potential risk. This report provides preliminary results observed from new RCM InSAR data acquired over 21 sites in British Columbia (BC), Alberta (AB), and Nunavut (NU) from April 2020 to September 2021. , In some cases, comparisons with RCM imagery were made with RADARSAT-2 and Sentinel-1 observations. A total of 13 sites in BC, two sites in AB, and six sites in NU that are located close to communities and/or infrastructure were investigated. From these, we acquired a total of 1235 RCM single look complex (SLC) images of HH polarization (ascending: 514, descending: 721) from April 2020 to September 2021. Most were acquired with 3 m very-high-resolution and/or 5 m high-resolution modes. Based on the preliminary observations, the advantages and limitations of RCM InSAR for landslide monitoring are highlighted.

Abstract:
Amid the rising climate change concerns, California enacted Senate Bill 375 (SB 375) to tackle transportation greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. SB 375 requires Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs) to develop a Sustainable Communities Strategy (SCS), a regional transportation and land use vision plan, to reduce GHG emissions. Meanwhile, a local government can develop a Climate Action Plan (CAP), a non-binding, voluntary plan to reduce GHG emissions that may align with the regional SCS. Recent progress reports indicate California is not making sufficient progress to meet SB 375 emissions reduction targets, which raises important questions: (1) Are the transportation and land use strategies and targets in SCS plans reflected in the local plans to build sustainable communities? (2) Does the alignment of regional and local transportation and land use strategies mitigate GHG emissions through vehicle trip reduction? (3) How different are the effects of independent local action and alignment of local and regional actions on vehicle trip reduction? Through an in-depth content analysis of plans and policies developed by five MPOs and 20 municipalities and a quantitative analysis of the impact of local and regional strategy alignment on vehicle trip reduction over time, this study shows that the patterns of local and regional climate policy are diverse across the state, but poor alignment is not necessarily a sign of limited climate action at the local level. Cities with a long climate-planning history and the capacity to act innovatively can lead regional efforts or adopt their own independent approach. Nonetheless, there are clear patterns of common strategies in local and regional plans, such as active transportation strategies and planning for densification and land use diversity. Well-aligned regional and local level climate-friendly infrastructure appear to have the most significant impact on vehicle-trip reduction, on average a 7% decrease in vehicle trips. Yet, many local-level strategies alone, such as for goods movement, urban forest strategies, parking requirements, and education and outreach programs, are effective in vehicle-trip reduction. A major takeaway from this research is that although local and regional climate policy alignment can be essential for reducing vehicle trips, local action is equally important.
