Transport connects places of supply with those of demand, in goods, labour, leisure and other socioeconomic functions. Public transport is the main mode of transportation for most people in cities around the world, where a hub and spoke network of roads define the landscape on which people move from the suburbs to work in the city district for industry and business. On the other hand, Singapore, an island city state, is organized differently, with townships self-sufficient in business, food, leisure, work, and light industry scattered around the island, with approximate equi-distance separating them. This is in addition to the central business district and heavy industrial estates that provided many jobs for people and created demand for goods and services. Hence, public transport in Singapore is not predominated by the conventional hub and spoke model common in many other cities. Rather, people move between different parts of a town, between towns, or across the island to find work in a heavy industrial estate or the central business district. Hence, public transport adapts to centers of demand and supply of socioeconomic functions throughout the day through a combination of route planning and time differential frequency of buses and trains, which naturally, provides the highest supply of mobility during morning and evening rush hours. But, given the need to move between socioeconomic function (that of work and lunch and back) between different sectors of the island, there is also a sizeable demand for public transport mobility throughout the working day, especially around noon. Route planning in public transport necessitates the matching of periodic demand along a path through the city that sees alternating areas of work and home, with the need for overall profitability after accounting for lax hours and peak demand. Therefore, route planning is an art form augmented with modern techniques of optimization for answering the age-old question in public transport: how long should a bus route be, or where should I build a train based mass transit line? The latter question is easier to answer given the relatively lack of flexibility of a train system, where it should ideally deliver access to mobility at each town of sizeable population, and the central business district together with the industrial towns as interchanges between different city train lines. Thus, it would be interesting to examine, using techniques of optimization, whether bus routes in Singapore are balanced in meeting supply expectations and profitability along individual routes, or whether shortfall in supply occurs in areas with low population density, but which requires peculiar transport needs to a major industrial estate on another part of the island. Interested readers are invited to explore on the questions above.

This book addresses changes in socio-economic systems. To do so, it employs the evolutional approach, which views changes in socio-economic systems from an evolutionary standpoint connecting the past, present and future, and focuses on preventing sudden, high-risk changes. The changes in socio-economic systems are also studied with the help of the system approach, which calls for assessing complex economic subjects, characterized by the sustainable connections between their elements, as socio-economic systems. Combining these two approaches in the context of studying the changes in socio-economic systems is unprecedented in modern economic science. The book studies various issues that cover both fundamental aspects of the system organization of economy and management and applied aspects of managing changes in socio-economic systems. The target audience of the book includes scholars and experts whose work involves studying the dynamic process of modern socio-economic systems’ development. The scientific conclusions and practical recommendations that the book provides can be applied to the development and implementation of state economic policy in various countries around the world.

This collection of Michael Grossman’s most important papers adds essential background and depth to his work on economic determinants of public health. Each of the book’s four sections includes an introduction that contextualizes the issues and addresses the larger stakes of his work. An afterword discusses the significance of Grossman’s approach for subsequent research on health economics, as well as the work others have done to advance and extend his innovative perspective. Determinants of Health explains how the economic choices people make influence health and health behaviors. It begins with a section on the theoretical underpinnings and empirical results of Grossman’s groundbreaking health economics model, first introduced in the 1970s, followed by essays on the relationship between health and schooling; determinants of infant health, with a special emphasis on public policies and programs; and the economics of unhealthy behaviors. Grossman treats health as a form of human capital. He shows that public policies and programs that determine the price and availability of key inputs have critical effects on outcomes ranging from birth weight and infant mortality to cigarette smoking, alcohol abuse, illegal drug use, and obesity. Grossman’s approach has led to a major stream of literature in the field, sparking contributions by the world’s leading health economists, including Joseph Newhouse, Jonathan Gruber, Amy Finkelstein, Michael Greenstone, and David Cutler. His clarity on the role that economics play in people’s good and bad health choices is immensely valuable to the debate over how we legislate and spend on health.

The Fourth International School on Energetics was held in July 1980 at Erice, Sicily and was devoted to the subject of Energy Demand and Efficient Use. In contrast to the Third School, we chose to concentrate on the demand side of the energy equation. The initial emphasis was on the methodology for determining demand; but it soon became clear that it is necessary to control demand also. All too often energy policy is set by the large industrial nations, or those nations blessed with a plentiful supply of fossil fuels. It seemed to us important to have the views of some repre sentatives from the less developed countries. The manuscripts were collected and ordered by Ms. Diane Rolinski of Harvard University whose work was invaluable.

This book serves as a textbook for students preparing to take sociology and economics courses in accordance with the AICTE and ITPI curricula. It is a careful examination of the mutually beneficial relationship between sociology and economics in urban and regional planning, looking at how these fields interact to create the framework for efficient planning. Fundamentally, planning is a potent tool for reshaping our society and directing the development of the economy. The effectiveness of planning, however, heavily depends on our knowledge of the underlying social dynamics that affect economic activities and how they affect people's lives. This will be a foundation-creating book for students of planning.

This book fills a gap in the literature on environmental sustainability by addressing the topic from the perspective of social and economic development. Progress in understanding and achieving sustainability requires the integration of scientific, social, economic, and legal issues. Yet progress in understanding and achieving sustainability will only be achieved through integration of scientific, social, economic, and legal aspects. A treatise on environmental sustainability should raise the current state of knowledge by proposing and recommending decision-making efforts and breaking new ground with agendas aimed for the younger generation. These younger scientists will be confronted with future uncertainty related to the set of crises that characterise the 21st Century (e.g. ecological, social, food, energy, environmental, climatic, financial, etc.). Currently, there are a number of indicators that demonstrate that ecological conditions are being compromised globally. These include reduced primary productivity, reduction in biological complexity, spreading pollution such as eutrophication, ecological degradation in any continental/basin/coastal/sea ecosystem, reduction in biodiversity, lowered resilience and slow recovery of damaged ecosystems, and reduced ecological integrity. All of these problems are related to social and economic pressure. The challenge for most ecological systems is not only to establish the baseline for current ecosystem conditions, but also to explore options for recovery and sustainability. The latter involves ecological restoration where ecosystem and environmental services are maintained and enhanced. These services are essential to social integration and economic development. This book not only introduces a theoretical and conceptual framework for the topic, but also analyses the uncertainty for sustainability because of dwindling natural resources. It includes contributions providing a basis for public policies, case studies integrating concepts and tools for solutions, and a set of position papers addressing new agenda topics that will shape the 21st century. The book will be useful for researchers, professors and students alike, as well as for all stakeholders from social, economic and academic sectors.
