 BACKGROUND ON
SUSTAINABLE
DEVELOPMENT
World Commision on Environment and Development
(WCED) in its report in 1987, it states that sustainable
development as development that meets the needs of the
present without compromising the ability of future
generations to meet their own needs (UN, 1987).

ANALYSIS AND DISCUSSION OF
HOW YOUR FIELD CAN CONTRIBUTE
TO THE SDGS
Definition of Sustainability in Road
Sustainable road network development should meet 3
essential principles of sustainability to reduce the impact
on climate change, on human health and biological
diversity (Puodziukas, Svarpliene & Braga 2016).

Practical Examples from Literature, Research, Industry, Etc.

PBL Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency is a
national institute that active in the field of the environment,
nature and spatial planning to make strategic policy analysis
(PBL n.d.) this agency can avoid happens excessive activity
which will give bad impacts to environmental.
 Identification and Selection of Appropriate Indicators,
Using Examples

• Death rate due to road traffic injuries (indicator number 25)

Speeding, drink-driving,
vehicle occupant
the number of road traffic
protection, vehicle Safety Management
deaths were about 12,5
crashworthiness, the System (SMS) (Croft 2005)
million globally
physical road environment
and circumstances

• The air pollution level (indicator number 69)

Building bypasses,
The air pollution Endanger Human reconstructing
increase Health roads and paving
gravel roads
 Identification and Selection of Appropriate Indicators,
Using Examples
• Total energy of GHG emissions(indicator number 62)

The amount of Building bypasses,

CO2that emitted to Worsen the global reconstructing
the atmosphere warming roads and paving
increase gravel roads

Construction of bypasses

0.6
Reconstruction of urban roads
0.5 (implementation of capacity)
0.7 3 Rehabilitation and strengthening of
urban roads
0.5 Reconstruction of rural roads
(implementation of capacity)
Rehabilitation and strengthening of
rural roads
2
Paving of gravel roads
