The world badly needs leadership for more sustainable transportation, particularly in rapidly developing countries that are now establishing transport patterns that will exist for many decades into the future. It’s a huge challenge and opportunity. Who provides this leadership? We do! The public officials, advisors, practitioners and experts who participate in the Intergovernmental Regional EST Forums (hereafter EST Forum) in Asia provide essential leadership for creating more sustainable transport systems for more than half the world’s populations. Sustainable transportation planning balances economic, social and environmental objectives. It applies comprehensive analysis and integrated planning which coordinates decision-making between different jurisdictions, sectors and groups. This approach identifies win-win solutions, that is, strategies that provide multiple benefits, for example, the pollution reduction strategies that also help reduce traffic congestion and accidents. This is a timely issue. Asian countries are experiencing growth and development at an unprecedented scale. As a result, Asian countries face severe problems including congestion and pollution, rising inequity

  • Asian Est Initiative [Pdf 3423Kb]
    Environmentally Sustainable 13-22 June 2012 Transport Rio de Janeiro, Brazil ASIAN EST INITIATIVE United Nations Ministry of the Environment Centre for Regional Development Government of Japan WHAT IS EST? Although there is no single, commonly held definition of Environmentally Sustainable Transport (EST), the concept of EST is centred on the transportation systems and activities that meet social, economic, and environmental sustainability. EST offers an alternative to uncontrolled motorization and its related problems, comprising a complementary package of high quality public transport, non‐motorized transport (walking and cycling), transport demand management measures, clean fuels, transit oriented development, intelligent transport systems, and road safety programmes that will create a new paradigm for urban mobility and accessibility. While transportation is essential to meeting Asia's socioeconomic needs, balancing these needs with the need to protect the environment should be at the heart of the concept of EST. The Asian Environmentally Sustainable Transport (EST) Initiative was jointly launched by United Nations Centre for Regional Development (UNCRD) and the Ministry of the Environment, Japan (MOEJ) in 2004 in close collaboration with national governments, international organizations, and bilateral and multilateral donor agencies. It aims to build a common understanding across Asia on the essential elements of EST and the need to adopt an integrated approach at the local and national levels to deal with multi‐sectoral environment and transport issues, including greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction. The twenty goals of the Bangkok 2020 Declaration (2010‐2020), agreed at the fifth Regional EST Forum in 2010, provide the basis for identifying, developing and implementing necessary policies, programmes and measures in realizing EST in Asian countries (www.uncrd.or.jp/env/5th‐ regional‐est‐forum/doc/bangkok_declaration.pdf).

  • Universal Design in Urban Public Spaces for People with Disability
    PLANNING MALAYSIA: Journal of the Malaysian Institute of Planners VOLUME 16 ISSUE 1 (2018), Page 173 – 182 UNIVERSAL DESIGN IN URBAN PUBLIC SPACES FOR PEOPLE WITH DISABILITY. CASE STUDY OF TEHRAN, IRAN Elnaz Esfandfard1, Mohammad Hussaini Wahab2 & Rohayah Che Amat3 1,2,3UTM Razak School of Engineering and Advanced Technology UNIVERSITI TEKNOLOGI MALAYSIA Abstract Urban public spaces play important role in providing good quality of life to the people living in the city. This is in line with the social goal on sustainable development, which the purpose is to attain a higher social equity. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), 15% of global population are disabled. During the eight-year war between Iran and Iraq, many of the victims in Iran were left disabled. The war left many people injured and this has significantly increased the impairment rate. Amongst the problems faced by people with disability in Tehran are difficulty traveling in the city, lack of public facilities and accessibility to particular facilities such as urban public spaces. This study first sought a definition of urban public spaces and Universal Design, and then finding solution for increasing interaction of people with disability in urban public spaces through Universal Design approach. This research was based on applied theory and qualitative method of field observation was engaged. One of the city district in Tehran was chosen for a case study. Based on the findings, urban design methods and solutions were suggested to increase the interaction and comfort of disabled people in urban public spaces. Keyword: universal design, urban public space, disabled people 1 PhD candidate at UTM Razak School, Kuala Lumpur.
