Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Essay from the year 2014 in the subject Geography / Earth Science - Demographics, Urban Management, Planning, , language: English, abstract: There are many potential problems with rapid urbanization in any country around the globe, chief of which is the challenge of resource exploitation for sustainable development. This paper studies the effects of rapid urbanization in Zambia, which has seen emerging inefficiencies in housing markets, urban transportation, and urban finance, as well as leading to increased urban pollution and crime. In contrast, plans for urban renewal in Zambia are predominantly donor driven in response to poor urban settlement planning in an environment where planning regulations are barely recognized and enforced.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Diploma Thesis from the year 2010 in the subject Engineering - General, Basics, Stellenbosch Universitiy (Stellenbosch University), course: Master of Engineering - Transportation Engineering, language: English, abstract: Insufficient budgetary allocations to road maintenance normally result in road deterioration that significantly reduces the utility of the roads. The problem makes it expensive and more difficult to move products and services from producers to consumers or inputs to industrial centres. Construction of new roads is deterred due to lack of funds, which entails that many areas which have the potential to trigger economic growth would remain unnecessarily inaccessible for far too long.Over the years, the Southern Africa Development Community (SADC) sub-region has initiated reforms, many times with the support of international financial institutions, materially aimed at improving financing of new roads and maintenance. In spite of the August 1996 SADC Protocol on Transport, Communication and Meteorology, initiation and establishment of structures for utilisation of new funding strategies have been taken by member states on an individual basis. The implication of this is that such strategies may be viewed as case-specific solutions. In this project, the author analyses the employment of new strategies in order to determine how effective they have been, with the view to broadening the existing knowledge base on financing of road transport systems in the SADC sub- region. …

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Doctoral Thesis / Dissertation from the year 2014 in the subject Transportation Science & Technology, ( Atlantic International University ), course: Transportation Economics, language: English, abstract: Investments in transport infrastructure have massive economic benefits, leading to a vibrant and efficient transport system. In Zambia, where a disproportionate distribution of freight between road and rail exists, with road transport carrying over 85% of freight, the significance of road investments cannot be emphasized. To remain competitive, the country must prioritize sustainable road maintenance on her road network, and ensure that a decent balance is maintained between investments in maintenance and those aimed at new construction.Insufficient budgetary allocation to road maintenance normally results in road deterioration that significantly reduces the utility of the existing roads. This makes it expensive and more difficult to move products and services from producers to consumers or inputs to designated industrial centers. Construction of new roads is deterred due to lack of funds, which entails that many areas which have the potential to trigger economic growth would remain unnecessarily inaccessible for far too long. The alternative is to seek political interference in the budgeting process in order to skew the fiscus towards road construction and development, rather than routine and periodic road maintenance which, purposefully, extend the service life cycle of existing road infrastructure through effective and efficient road asset management. Naturally, maintenance is rarely seen as important and it hardly attracts appropriate funding from the fiscus.For many years, it has been observed that Zambia's road asset has been wasting away at an accelerated rate due to the preference of reactive, rather than preventive, road maintenance strategies. New road construction is believed to have also contributed to the neglect of maintenance. This study, therefore, aims to analyze Zambia's incongruent road financing strategies which have led to inefficient road asset management. Endogenous deficiencies which tend to exhibit themselves in a road network that is grossly in a state of disrepair are exposed and discussed in the context of optimized and sustainable road network and budgetary allocations as a cure going forward. However, the final decision about which policies and strategies should be adopted to address the vexing problem, has been left entirely in the hands of political office holders, in whom the people of Zambia have had to vest their power to legislate and manage the affairs of the country.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -There are various reasons why the road asset in Zambia has been deteriorating over the past five decades since independence. Much effort to restore the road asset to its original value and keep it maintained in a good and safe condition was initiated in mid 1990s with the launch of the Road Sector Investment Plan Phase I, which was immediately followed by the launch of a Phase II to run from 2003 to 2013. It is my appreciation that many diagnostic studies into road financing strategies which could have led to inefficient road asset management in Zambia have been undertaken, and various solutions tendered.The author takes cognizance that resource mobilization for road construction and maintenance, and subsequent allocation to respective road programs can often be problematic for an emerging country like Zambia. It has the potential to lead to inefficiencies in road asset management as has evidently been demonstrated in the declining road asset value over time. The political, as well as the economic, landscape plays a vital role in resource mobilization and allocation strategies as much as the institutional and the legal framework do.The failure to clear the backlog of maintenance which normally results, largely, from deferment of scheduled maintenance due to insufficient annual budgetary allocation to the road sector maintenance programs has led to the significant deterioration in road network condition. Exorbitant road construction costs have posed additional challenges to the fiscus, thereby constraining both the quantity and quality of road infrastructure that could be constructed and maintained at any given time. Recent policy drives have been categorical in their preference of new road construction aimed at linking Zambia, over road maintenance, which plays a pivotal role in road asset management.This creates a perception that policy pronouncements are at variance to policy documents which promote sustainable economic development through efficient road investments and could be seen as being paradoxical in that the actual financing strategies are skewed towards road construction, a recipe of comfort for the next election challenge due to increased visibility on the ground, rather than to maintenance, as an astute and effective way of managing the road asset.The difficult of establishing congruence between government pronouncements and actual road business strategies in the implementing agencies has, over the years, posed challenges to the fiscal policy implementation. Consequently, this has often led to serious budget overruns due, firstly, to unplanned expenditure and, secondly, variations due to scope increase resulting from project implementation without having prior designs. This has led to high operating inefficiencies of existing roads due to the high level of pavement degradation, with the eventual effect of higher vehicle operating costs, longer travel-times, driver and passenger discomfort, and ultimately, higher agency pavement replacement costs. The damage caused to the economy is apparent in all this.The author carried out an analysis of road financing strategies in Zambia, taking a special look into the past decade, with the view to ascertaining the extent to which roads budgets have been employed to fund new construction and maintenance. This was necessary to establish whether there was a mismatch in allocation of resources for roads in terms of needs and policy, in which new road construction is highly favored in preference to maintenance. It was hoped that if the mismatch existed, it would espouse some paradoxes which existed between the road asset management policies and actual strategies.The research draws attention to the fact that over 80% of the Core Road Network is in poor condition, and only 68% of the paved Trunk, Main, and District road network could be said to be in good condition.
