CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK Sustainable: pertaining to a system that maintains its own viability by using techniques that allow for continual reuse, e.g. sustainable agriculture. Infrastructure: 1. the basic, underlying framework or features of a system or organization. 2. the fundamental facilities and systems serving a country, city, or area, as transportation and communication systems, power plants, and schools. 3. the military installations of a country. Urban Infrastructure: Urban or municipal infrastructure refers to hard infrastructure systems generally owned and operated by municipalities, such as streets, water distribution, and sewers. It may also include some of the facilities associated with soft infrastructure, such as parks, public pools and libraries. "Hard" infrastructure refers to the large physical networks necessary for the functioning of a modern industrial nation, whereas "soft" infrastructure refers to all the institutions which are required to maintain the economy, health, and cultural and social standards of a country, such as the financial system, the education system, the health care system, the system of government, and law enforcement, as well as emergency services. According to the High Powered Expert Committee (HPEC) appointed by the Ministry of Urban Development, which gave its recommendations to the Government in the year 2011, there is a requirement of investment in urban infrastructure to the tune of Rs. 39 billion over
Sustainability relates to the ongoing capacity of Earth to maintain all life, which means developing ways to ensure that all resources on Earth are used and managed responsibly so they can be maintained for future generations.
The five major components of an information system are as follows (1) to (5); (1) Hardware, multiple computer systems: microcomputers, minicomputers, and mainframes. (2) Software- computer software falls into two categories; systems software and applications software. Systems software manages the resources of the computer system and simplifies programming. Application Software is a program that directly assists end users in doing their work. Both can be purchased as ready-to-use packages. (3) Networks and communication facilities, includes Internet and intranets. This hardware and software facilitates fast and efficient transmission and reception of text, pictures and
The word ‘sustainable’ has been chosen as a second criterion, as the philosophy sets out to be
Transit network: The shared or public network such as a privateintranet or the Internet where the encapsulated
2.This explains that if the government increase work on public infrastructure, there will be more jobs for planning and working in the field. This will help both environment and people by developing the environment while giving people jobs.
When I first started to research sustainability I learned that it is a very general term which can take me in many different
Cables making up the core networks need to go very long distances across many states within the country. They typically follow well-defined routes such as highways and railways.
my interpretation of sustainability because I believe that sustainability is about inclusivity, fair distribution and maintaining cultural, economic and environmental well being. Like the textbook definition of sustainability states I believe thsat when thinking in terms of sustainability we must consider the needs of future generation in addition to our current needs. This way we can ensure that our resources, information, and current systems can be maintained for years to come while adapting to the changing world around us.
Environmental – “an environmentally sustainable system must maintain a stable resource base, avoiding over-exploitation of renewable resource systems or environmental sink functions, and depleting non-renewable resources only
The word sustainability itself implies some sort of length, in the sense that something can last long, it also. Here are some of the definitions people have of sustainable fashion:
WATER INFRASTRUCTURE: -The term “water infrastructure” includes water and wastewater systems and includes water treatment facilities, water mains, distribution pipes, pressure reducing stations, water meters, pumping stations, sanitary and storm sewers, sewage pipes, storm water pipes, manholes, septic tanks and lift stations.
Australia is one of the most highly urbanised societies in the world. Urbanization is occurring not only in the capital cities like Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane etc but also in coastal areas within 2-3 hours of commutable distance from city centre. This has lead to formation of an exurban belt that is facilitated by transport improvements and technological change such as the internet. Such continued population growth in Australian cities is placing increasing pressure on infrastructure, such as public transport and roadways, energy, air and water systems within the urban environment.
Sustainability is a topic that has become very important in recent years. Sustainability is defined as, “the ability to continue a defined behavior indefinitely.” ("Finding and Resolving the Root Causes of the Sustainability Problem", 2014)
After 1980 peripheral areas of Ahmedabad have been expanding rapidly. There was a huge differentiation between population within the city limit area and the outer peripheral area because the saturation of population within the city area and the subsequent large scale housing development in the fringe areas. Haphazard development took place because of absence of proper infrastructure and road network. The development in outer areas is expected to accelerate further as Ahmedabad has become a mega city. And due to this reason, the Ahmedabad Urban Development Authority has proposed additional 64 sq. km of urbanizable land over the next ten years in the revised development plan (2011). The expected population is expected to reach 46 lakhs and 60 lakhs in the former Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) and AUDA as per the proposed plan- with in a period of 10 years. Therefore it was important to ensure planned growth with good road network and infrastructure facilities in the developing areas of the city. (TOI)
The literature review consists basically a thorough desk based research of available materials linked to the subject in libraries and on the Internet. The more recent literature is examined basically from the 1990s for the development of the theoretical and conceptual discussions. Major scientific journals concerning urban expansion and growth, peripheral development, metropolitan development and
