Christian Lous Lange sagte einst, dass "Die moderne Technik hat Staatsgrenzen, sowohl wirtschaftlich als auch geistig, abgebaut. Die Zunahme der Bedeutung des Transports hat einen eigenen Weltmarkt und eine Möglichkeit der Arbeitsteilung entwickelt, entwickelte und unentwickelte Staaten umfassend". Eine überblicksmäßige Durchsicht der ersten und aktuellen politischen Rahmenbedingungen von Transformationsländern zeigt an, dass schlechte Voraussetzungen im Transport- bzw. Verkehrsnetzwerk der betroffenen Staaten einige der größten Herausforderungen für die nationale Wettbewerbsfähigkeit, die nachhaltigen Nachhaltigkeitsinitiativen und die Aufwertung auf breiter Basis. Diese Forschungsarbeit untersucht den Einfluss und die Bedeutung von Transport und Logistik auf die wirtschaftliche Entwicklung von ausgewählten Balkanstaaten. Zusätzlich werden wichtige Einflussfaktoren in der effizienten Leistung von Transport-und-Logistik-Management dargestellt. Investitionen in die Verkehrs...

This report develops a framework for a crosscountry comparative assessment of transport sustainability in central and eastern European countries. The objective was to assess where national transportation systems stand relative to each other according to sustainability criteria. The core of the method is the evaluation of the current status and trends in transport performance using an Analytic Hierarchy Process approach. As a result, countries have been positioned in a static-dynamic space related to sustainability sub-themes. The significance of the approach is in its ability to monitor and analyze transport system functionality regarding sustainability concerns, thus raising awareness of these problems among policy makers.

Transportation as the bedrock of all human activities transcends beyond the basic purpose of moving goods and services from one place to another. There exists a strong relationship between transport investment and economic growth having a whole lot of economic roles. Transportation investment provides direct and indirect impacts on any nation’s economy. The direct impacts are the connection and accessibility that transport facilities can provide to the markets by saving time and money. The indirect impacts are the economic multiplier effects when the prices of goods and services increase with diversification. The paper provides a review of the economic roles, the direct and indirect economic impacts of transport investment and the supply and demand for transport. The review further highlights the operational mechanisms of improving and sustaining transport facilities for sustainable economic growth.

The scope of this work is to analyze the influence of transport infrastructure, on regional development. Moreover, it aims to illustrate the major influences of the economic, social and ecological factors on transport infrastructure development. In that respect, starting by analyzing the current views on national and international levels regarding these items, the work propose to go further, by supplement these theories with some new elements, requested by the current and future society's evolution. Thus, for the analysis of the relationships between transport infrastructure and the regional development, we propose a new scenario, based on the sustainable development principles. This approach, again, is given in the paper, through research investigations carried out, both, in terms of theory and practice, using actual Development Regions of Romania data. Finally, the work findings highlight several solutions that could be included in the further socioeconomic ecological development strategies of The Romanian Development Regions, according with the sustainable transportation concept. The work is useful for the academic specialists and decision-makers, offering an extended support for regional and infrastructural policies.

The importance of transport is no longer needed to be underlined. Despite all statistical numbers and whichever other analysis, it is obvious that a well developed transport system with certain leads to economic growth. The last decades lead to an unprecedented development of global foreign trade. Benefic from economic point of view, transport development determined a worrisome increase of environmental pollution degree. Minimizing negative effects produced by transport became a global priority. Multimodal transport is a sustainable alternative for transport development. Achieving an upgraded multimodal transport is a priority for all European Union countries, including Romania. In this paper, the authors make an "x-ray" of national multimodal transport, trying, at the same time, to find solutions to develop them.

Transport infrastructural development will make Africa to be able to compete effectively in the globalization process. Without developing it Africa's GDP will remain at 2 % which is equivalent to either of Brazil's or Russia. Transport infrastructure will make Africa to be able to trade better among themselves, transport goods and services and increase economic development.
