Correspondingly, with the economy under pressure, the need for infrastructure investment in South Africa is more apparent now. Provision of infrastructure has been considered the responsibility of government, with projects often financed by the government, from local to national level and constructed by private contractors – an arm’s length relationship. Performance of these projects has been suboptimal. For a long time, the sector has witnessed an increase in the promotion of more cooperation between the public and private sectors in infrastructure development and operation. Public–private partnerships (PPPs) provide alternative ways to involve private sector in more meaningful ways in public infrastructure delivery. PPPs are not only a financing tool in government investment, but an effective project management approach that public and private sectors could employ in developing infrastructure, jointly sharing risks, costs, and resources. However, despite known PPP benefits, there is limited cooperation between the public and the private sector. There remain some reservations with the private sector on how South Africa will fair under the current leadership – leading to the private sector being shy to invest and openly collaborate with government. Partnership arrangements at strategic level are still difficult, failing to instil confidence at a tactical level where projects are controlled. The private sector needs stability in order to feel confident about investing and joining forces with public sector. This paper looks at innovative approaches to improve cooperative partnerships in public infrastructure development.","PeriodicalId":35178,"journal":{"name":"WIT Transactions on Ecology and the Environment","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43040184","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using decision support system (DSS), big data can manage transportation demands, budgets, goals, and regulations. Moreover, it can manage different stakeholders and minority groups’ needs and requirements, while adapting to environmental, economical and current social concerns. Transportation planning and decision-making faces rapid urbanization challenges in both developed and developing countries since urban planning process and decision makers depend essentially on data collection and analysis. This paper aims to discuss technological mutual line of big data, public transportation types, and DSS through transit mobile apps. The present paper discusses an assumption of reasons to explain why transit apps existed in both the developed and developing countries. It focuses on the developing countries, with a study on six demand responsive transit apps (DRT) used in Egypt to address the existing transit concerns. As a result, a comparison is drawn to comment on these apps’ features and big data usage in enhancing transportation decision making in Egypt. Finally, the paper provides comments on still existing concerns and proposes recommendations for a new app development based on the previous apps, to sprint big data-based DSS.","PeriodicalId":35178,"journal":{"name":"WIT Transactions on Ecology and the Environment","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43458005","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Rainaldi","doi":"10.2495/sc220091","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2495/sc220091","url":null,"abstract":"Recent “health disasters” call for reflection on the reduction of the public health risk brought about by the disaster and the response dispensed to pandemic outbreaks, which have revealed organisational and health gaps including global coordination and mobilisation to the event. It is therefore necessary to provide a response to a pandemic by adapting it to the specific characteristics and needs of a specific territory, preparing targeted actions and interventions to contain possible risks to the population and safeguard the maintenance of general activities and services. The objective of this study is to establish a methodology, incorporating risk reduction and preparedness in the design and planning to increase the resilience of local communities, providing guidelines for the drafting of specific area emergency plans. It is necessary to fully optimise the use in emergencies of the resources present on the territory by putting them into a system with local civil protection organisations and to maximise the use of the various assets in relation to the possible evolution of critical situations, directing the activities of forecasting, prevention, rescue and overcoming assigned to several bodies and structures. This is done by applying an innovative methodology, through the use of BIM, which must compose a database useful both for tactical-operational coordination bodies in intervention activities during the management of a crisis, and in the facility management of settlement assets, helping in the planning of technological/environmental maintenance and management activities. Acquisition and sharing of structured data in order to maximise and make more efficient the smart governance and smart economy process of the city, technologically synthesised in a three-dimensional and interactive image of the urban environment.","PeriodicalId":35178,"journal":{"name":"WIT Transactions on Ecology and the Environment","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48779181","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Furthermore, the advancement of technologies such as artificial intelligence creates smart cities to improve urban integration. However, an essential aspect of sustainability that is absent is the inclusion of the elderly and the disabled in the community. It serves as one of the markers of modernity. Rather, it is a prerequisite for developing our cities, making them more sustainable, intelligent, safe, and accommodating to all society segments and achieving equality. Sustainability is not affected by persons, and environmental justice is as important as sustainable development. People with disabilities and the elderly constitute a large proportion of society and this is expected to rise in the upcoming years. Despite widespread support for the inclusion of people with disabilities in society, they were not considered during the design process. Society only sees the able-bodied; therefore, we must link technology and use universal design principles and integrate them with sustainability standards. As a result, the research aims to create an inclusive city and identify barriers to universal design through developing an objective approach framework and a new evaluation method, research was used to generate data by example analysis of various buildings, developing a new design approach of universal design, involving users, experts, people with disabilities, elders, designers, and stakeholders to solve problems with a focus on the city of Alexandria and evaluate it. The paper concludes by speculating about the part that designers can play in implementing a more inclusive design approach to be accessible for all. A society is not smart, sustainable, or secure if it is not accessible.","PeriodicalId":35178,"journal":{"name":"WIT Transactions on Ecology and the Environment","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46242423","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A simple random technique was used to select 750 sampling observations for the Chu-mango value analysis. The findings indicated 71% of farmers sell their products to collectors, and 18.8% of mango volume is sold to wholesalers. A further 9.2% sell to cooperatives, and a tiny minority (1%) is sold to local retailers. The main role of cooperative and farmer group share farming techniques is to control agrochemical use in the production process of VietGAP, GlobalGAP, traceability code, and providing information on market opportunities to members. Most of collector transacts with farmers and wholesalers are not contractual agreements that are based on a good business relationship and a responsibility to comply with the supply. Wholesaler is pivotal trader in both the output and input partners of actors in the value chain at the regional and national levels. The wholesaler also plays the role of a fresh mango exporter to the Chinese market. The transaction takes place in cash for channel 2, bank transfer for channel 3, and both for channel 4. Processing firms play an essential role in the consumption of Chu-mango grades 3 and 4 of farmers and create value-added products for consumers. However, the percentage of Chu-mango in exporting enterprises only accounts for a modest proportion of companies’ business operations. Most of fresh mango export enterprises must invest in cool sorting systems, packing factories, and vapor heat treatment factories to ensure the tested fresh fruit before exporting. markets for mango are very promising when Vietnam joins trade agreements such as comprehensive and progressive agreement for the trans-Pacific partnership (CPTPP), the European Union Vietnam free trade agreement (EVFTA), and the Asean economic community (AEC). Most import taxes of partners are zero for Vietnamese mangoes and mango products.","PeriodicalId":35178,"journal":{"name":"WIT Transactions on Ecology and the Environment","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45600377","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
