Abstract

The purpose of this article is to provide information to determine that telecommuting in Ecuador can be used as a measure of sustainable transport. Briefly, sustainable development is described, and certain definitions and approaches related to sustainable transport are covered, for instance, the Avoid-Shift-Improve (ASI) approach, as well as the Transport Demand Management (TDM), which serve to validate from a conceptual point of view the application and usefulness of telecommuting. An overview of the current situation in the transport sector in Ecuador is analyzed; the final energy demand; the environmental aspects related to transport, and the amount of public and private employees that are telecommuting. Taking into consideration some hypothesis, such as car ownership rate, the total amount of kilometers driven per year, the assumption of the distance travelled by employees who take public transportation; the assumptions helped to determine the savings that can be obtained through telecommuting in the present time. Therefore, these results would provide adequate information for decision makers to establish a conclusive pronouncement on whether or not support telecommuting as a valid working approach, and to develop the necessary policies to maintain it over time.
厄瓜多尔的一项可持续交通措施:远程办公
本文的目的是提供信息,以确定厄瓜多尔的远程办公可以作为可持续交通的一种措施。简要地说,描述了可持续发展,并涵盖了与可持续运输有关的某些定义和方法,例如,避免-转移-改善(ASI)方法,以及运输需求管理(TDM),这些方法从概念的角度验证了远程交通的应用和有用性。对厄瓜多尔运输部门的现状进行了概述分析;最终能源需求;与交通有关的环境因素,以及远程办公的公共和私营雇员的数量。考虑一些假设,如汽车拥有率,每年行驶的总公里数,乘坐公共交通工具的员工行驶距离的假设;这些假设有助于确定目前通过远程办公可以节省的费用。因此,这些结果将为决策者提供充分的资料,以确定是否支持电子通勤作为一种有效的工作方法的结论性声明,并制定必要的政策以长期维持这种做法。
