2. Abstract
This discourse explores various land use factors that affect transportation including density, roadway connectivity, mix, regional accessibility, and density. The information derived from this study will be helpful in informing smart growth, land access management, urbanization, and assist in the realization of progressive land planning objectives like the reduction of emissions, conservation of energy, and customer savings.
3. Introduction
Land use can also be referred to as spatial planning, urban geography, urban form, community design, and development (Litman, 2011). These terms essentially refer to the manner in which the surface of the earth is used including design, type, and location of the human development. The patterns of land use can have profound environmental, social, and economic impacts. An example is where some patterns of land use make it more accessible therefore requiring little physical movement in order to get to common land destinations (Litman, 2011). With accessibility the development costs are reduced. Some areas have better accessibility for people who are not driving and hence are more beneficial for the disadvantaged people. Some land use tendencies preserve more of the green ecological spaces hence making the environment more eco-friendly.
The planning of transportation is likely to directly impact land use. This is because it will affect the size of land applied directly for transportation and indirectly for the land used to enable accessibility. For instance the expansion of highways and freeways can increase the pavement space. Likewise enhancing automobile’s ability to access the fringe areas in urban centers will encourage dispersion of development for automobile ease of access to the urban are (referred commonly as sprawl). The improvement of public transit encourages more infill and compact development otherwise referred to as smart growth.

Much like the announced plans by President-elect Barack Obama to launch the most massive public works program since World War II by investing in the nation's highways and bridges, the same approach was used by the newly installed Israeli government to stimulate the economy. This approach, though, was considered a comprise approach since there were vastly differing views on what issues should be made priorities following the Oslo Peace
Regulation vs. Deregulation Transportation regulation has always been an important aspect of business logistics and supply chain management. In the 19th century, the railroads introduced a new mode of transportation that businesses could take advantage of, and in the beginning there was very little regulation of the railroads. Today, regulation exists for all modes of transportation. This paper will compare and contrast how regulation versus deregulation has impacted transportation and discuss
Leveraging Information Systems for Disaster Management In today's digital age, natural as well as man-made disaster management has become an easier task. Several IT features are at our disposal, which can help in both prevention and recovery from disaster. Information technology advances such as satellite communication, the Internet, remote sensing, geographic information system (GIS), etc. have proven extremely valuable in hazard reduction planning and execution processes (Vyas & Desai, 2007). IT
Japanese Earthquake Impact and Lessons Learned from the 2011 Japanese Earthquake On March 11, a Richter scale 9.0 earthquake devastated the chief island of Honshu Japan. The earthquake, tsunami and its consequences made devastating personal, social and economic harm. People worldwide were astonished by videos of blowing up nuclear power plant buildings, knocked down cities and personal stories of the disaster. The earthquake also seriously interrupted global manufacturing supply chains. In this
