In this study, disaster risk assessment is conducted from the viewpoint of cultural heritage disaster mitigation in historical cities to raise the capability of regional disaster mitigation in Kyoto. First, the routes connecting fire stations and cultural heritages are selected, and those which are frequently used are designated as important road sections. Next, the road passage rate at the time of disaster is calculated for each important road section. In earlier studies, a method was adopted to find the relationship between road width and the road blockage rate using the data of the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake for calculation of road passage rate at the time of disaster. This study also takes the condition of buildings along the roads and the spread of fire into consideration; consequently, a more comprehensive method of calculating the road blockage rate is proposed. Lastly, vulnerable sections of road are identified based on the road passage rate calculated using the proposed method. A proposal for road network improvement to mitigate possible disaster is drafted, and the effectiveness of the proposal is examined through reliability analysis.

Abstract Background: Exceptional children, like other children, have the right to be educated in a safe environment. Disasters are considered as serious issues regarding safety and security of educational environments. Following disasters, vulnerable groups, especially children with handicaps and disabilities are more likely to be seriously injured. Thus, the present study aimed to evaluate the safety and disaster risk assessment of exceptional schools in Tehran, Iran. Method: The cross-sectional study was conducted in exceptional schools in Tehran, 2018. First, 55 exceptional schools in all grades were selected based on census sampling method and evaluated by using a checklist designed by Tehran Disaster Mitigation and Management Organization (TDMMO) and Ministry of Education in 2015. The data were analyzed using Excel software and statistical descriptive tests. Result: Based on the results, school facilities are worn and have unsafe elevators (least safety: 7.69%), yards (least safety: 9.52%), laboratories (least safety: 16.67%), libraries (least safety: 24.24%), fire extinguishing systems (least safety: 28.99%), and storage rooms and kitchens (least safety: 33.33%) which require immediate considerations. In total, the safety of exceptional schools in this study was 70.13%, which suggests medium-risk level. Conclusion: The educational settings must be reconsidered, along with identifying the risk and safety at school. In addition, a standard should be established for evaluating safety, especially in exceptional schools.

Effective Planning

Road monitoring systems can be effective in the mitigation of damage to cultural heritage sites when disaster strikes historical cities. In this research, the effects of road monitoring systems for cultural heritage disaster mitigation are estimated. The effective location planning of the surveillance cameras is considered based on the locations of cultural heritage sites and the characteristics of the city’s road network. To select the best locations, the genetic algorithm is applied. It is demonstrated that use of the genetic algorithm to select the location of the road monitoring system’s surveillance cameras greatly increases the system’s effectiveness.

This article contributes to the research on the expansion of the Swedish post-war road network by illuminating the role of tourism in addition to political and industrial agendas. Specifically, it examines the “conceptual construction” of the Blue Highway, which currently stretches from the Atlantic Coast of Norway, traverses through Sweden and Finland, and enters into Russia. The focus is on Swedish governmental reports and national press between the 1950s and the 1970s. The article identifies three overlapping meanings attached to the Blue Highway: a political agenda of improving the relationships between the Nordic countries, industrial interests, and tourism. Political ambitions of Nordic community building were clearly pronounced at the onset of the project. Industrial actors depended on the road for the building of power plants and dams. The road became gradually more connected with the view of tourism as the motor of regional development.

The 1960S

The golden age of road demand modeling began in the 1950s and flourished in the 1960s in the face of major road construction needs. These macro models, as well as the econometrics and the data to be processed, were provided mainly by engineers. A division of tasks can be observed between the engineers in charge of estimating the flows within the network and the transport economists in charge of managing these flows once they are on the road network. Yet the inability to explain their decision-making processes and individual drives gave some room to economists to introduce economic analysis, so as to better understand individual or collective decisions between transport alternatives. Economists, in particular Daniel McFadden, began to offer methods to improve the measure of utility linked to transport and to inform the engineering approach. This paper explores the challenges to the boundaries between economics and engineering in road demand analysis.
