Abstract

Health & safety and economic prosperity of citizens are ensured with services provided by core public infrastructure (CPI). The CPI are subject to increased demand for service, deleterious reactions and impact due to climate change that accelerate their aging and deterioration. Canada’s first National Infrastructure Report Card (2012), for example, showed the Water System, Storm Drainage System, and Wastewater System are in ‘fair’ to ‘very poor’ conditions. The replacement costs of these assets, respectively, are $25.9, $15.8, and $39 billion (in 2010 dollars). With increased aging and deterioration, limited resource and customer expectations for minimum acceptable level of service, managing the assets is challenging. To better understand how to deal with these complexities, this Special issue brought invited papers from the experts in the domain. This special collection focused on the buried infrastructure distribution systems (Potable water assets, and Storm water and Wastewater assets). The present special issue is comprised of invited papers from leading researchers in the domain, and are discussed in the following order:

埋藏基础设施的特别收藏

核心公共基础设施（CPI）提供的服务确保了公民的健康、安全和经济繁荣。CPI受到服务需求增加、有害反应和气候变化影响的影响，加速了其老化和恶化。例如，加拿大第一份国家基础设施成绩单（2012年）显示，供水系统、雨水排放系统和废水系统的状况从“尚可”到“极差”。这些资产的重置成本分别为259亿美元、158亿美元和390亿美元（以2010年美元计）。随着老化和恶化的加剧，资源和客户对最低可接受服务水平的期望有限，管理资产具有挑战性。为了更好地理解如何处理这些复杂性，本期特刊邀请了该领域专家的论文。本次特别收集的重点是埋地基础设施分配系统（饮用水资产、雨水和废水资产）。本特刊由该领域领先研究人员的受邀论文组成，按以下顺序进行讨论：

期刊介绍： Sustainable and Resilient Infrastructure is an interdisciplinary journal that focuses on the sustainable development of resilient communities. Sustainability is defined in relation to the ability of infrastructure to address the needs of the present without sacrificing the ability of future generations to meet their needs. Resilience is considered in relation to both natural hazards (like earthquakes, tsunami, hurricanes, cyclones, tornado, flooding and drought) and anthropogenic hazards (like human errors and malevolent attacks.) Resilience is taken to depend both on the performance of the built and modified natural environment and on the contextual characteristics of social, economic and political institutions. Sustainability and resilience are considered both for physical and non-physical infrastructure.
