The length of the roadnetwork had an effect on the intensity of demographic emptying of the rural areas (settlements) in Croatia; a longer network of roads to a certain extent means less populational degression, while a shorter network means
Urban form, roadnetwork type, and mode choice for frequently conducted activities : a multilevel analysis using quasi-experimental design data

In this study, the AA. adopt the principles of quasi-experimental design to collect the data, which are examined with a multilevel model in the cities of Ranstad Holland. The results indicate that urban form and network type have only a modest

The article deals with the silk road and the old trade network. The silk road in Central Asia describes a “road”, which exists more than two thousand years, and not only trade with silk but also with many different products. A lot of research
explorers have reported of their expeditions to silk road and made an evaluation. The paper describes three phases of exploration : a period of topographical and geographical enquire, an archaeological period and since 1911 a period of political interest
Labour's new trunk-roads policy for England : an emerging pragmatic multimodalism ?
England ; Forecast ; Form of transport ; Motorway ; Road ; Transport ; Transport network ; Transport policy ; United Kingdom
In 1998 the UK government introduced a new, integrated transport policy. Labour's approach involved promoting a reduction in car use through seeking to improve public transport provision and scaling down the national trunk-road building programme
. The most recent statement of transport policy (The 10-Year Plan), makes provisions for a large programme of trunk-road construction against a background of continued traffic growth. The AA. compare the scale of trunk-road completions achieved in 1979-97

Sediment concentration changes in runoff pathways from a forest roadnetwork and the resultant spatial pattern of catchment connectivity
Australia ; Drainage network ; Environmental management ; Gully erosion ; New South Wales ; Overland flow ; Rainfall simulation ; Runoff ; Water quality ; Watershed
The AA. identify 2 types of connectivity : direct connectivity via new channels or gullies, and diffuse connectivity as surface runoff reaches the stream network via overland flow pathways. Using a forest roadnetwork as an example of a landscape

aspects. This then provided a basis for comparing voivodship road and rail networks in relation to three density indicators. Particular attention was paid to operational work on the roads and railways, and it was noted that the shares these account
This article attempts to assess synthetically the equipping of the different Polish voivodship with road and rail infrastructure. To this end, use is made of a synthetic indicator from the AA. that incorporates both quantitative and qualitative
Detailed geomorphological mapping of roads and paths in the middle mountain section of the Gorce Mountains was performed. Most are dirt roads and footpaths. The mapping procedure consisted of a systematic note-taking method (logbook
) and the classification of roads and paths by identifying uniformly shaped segments within them. The segments were classified using a statistical grouping procedure into 3 groups of segments, where each group included segments that were shaped alike. In order to determine
relationships between particular segments of roads and paths, 15 examples of roads were found that in their arrangement followed the pattern of slope catena. In order to determine the present day dynamics of shape transformations occurring within hollow ways

Effects of forest roads on flood flows in the Deschutes River, Washington
Hydrologic and geomorphic effects of forest roads. Special issue
Based on a field survey, the connectivity of culverts to the channel network was related primarily to hillslope curvature and distance to the natural stream channel. Culvert crest stage recorders operated during winters 1996/97 and 1997/98
demonstrated that higher flows occurred in ditches draining clearcuts compared to forested areas. Contrary to expectation, road cutslope height did not seem to affect culvert peak runoff. A distributed hydrologic model was used to evaluate road effects on peak
; however, routes of European significance will experience a strong future increase in transport. The AA. conclude, that regional planning should no longer call indiscriminately for the expansion of all road categories, but rather take into account
