This document is part of a research project that proposes an evaluation and modeling of transportation systems in AMBA Sur through geomatics applications, which also proposes to make prospective contributions to the sustainable planning and territorial ordering of urban mobility and transportation. Background information is articulated regarding 1) the relevance of geographic information and computer systems for decision-making in territorial management and geomatics as a field of knowledge; 2) territorial planning and its sustainable dimension; and 3) urban mobility, transportation, and logistics in the regional context of study and the current international urban agenda. The objective of this article is to present advances regarding urban diagnosis and the current mobility and transportation system in AMBA Sur to offer useful guidelines for public planning and territorial ordering policies from a sustainable approach based on the geomatic modeling of geographic information. The territorial cut covers the area of direct influence of the corridor formed by Avenida Los Quilmes, Avenida Calchaquí, and Provincial Route 36 in the districts of Quilmes, Florencio Varela, and Berazategui, where three intermodal nodes of regional hierarchy are configured: Bernal Triangle (Quilmes), Varela Crossing (Florencio Varela), and Gutiérrez Rotunda Node (Berazategui); especially deepening a comprehensive urban diagnostic analysis of mobility and transportation in the Rotonda de Gutiérrez Node (Berazategui). Based on a research strategy of methodological triangulation, the aim is to achieve the identification, compilation, and analysis of available secondary information through field surveys and systematization of information to generate a georeferenced database.

The main objective of this research is to analyze simulation alternatives considering different scenarios in the activities of transportation, selection and classification of usable waste for the prediction, comparison, analysis and decision making in the optimization of processes, resources, materials and services through dynamic models. This will allow, in subsequent studies, to evaluate the economic viability of micro routes and their optimization to improve waste management throughout the production chain, from the source to its transformation as new products in the environment. It is important to highlight that this research is aligned with sustainable development objectives, specifically Nos. 11 and 12, related to sustainable waste management and efficient use of waste. To carry out this study, the population of interest is the recyclers who are part of the waste collection network in Sogamoso. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Between the 16th and 18th centuries, the valleys, and plains to the west of the Sierras Centrales in Argentina oscillated between their relations with Cuyo and the attraction of the city of Córdoba. The mountain range and its many rivers were a significant orographic obstacle and helped to give these communities a distinctive identity. In this study, we explore from a historical environmental perspective how this established configuration was disrupted at the end of the 19th century, within the framework of state consolidation and the Atlantic reorientation of the Argentine economy. Thus, we analyze how the pre-existing dynamics and relationship with water and mountain runoff were a limit between the mountain valleys and the thriving agro-livestock economy of the Pampas. Traditional historiographic sources were used -reports, stories, newspapers, among others- together with historical cartography and GIS software. The latter, allowed to shed new light on some previously ignored elements around the hidrosocial and transportation system of that landlocked province [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Scholars have shown that the number of cars, and car use will grow as socioeconomic conditions improve in Latin America. This situation will threaten sustainability in the main cities of the region. This article investigates daily car use determinants for people with access to cars. Urban sustainability would not be so endangered if people with access to cars forego such vehicles for commuting. The article resort to the Population and Housing Census 2020 in Mexico to research how heads of households with access to cars commute in a daily basis. It is discovered that low socio-economic status increases the likelihood of not using the family car for commuting, along with environmental awareness, particularly for affluent heads of households. Therefore, it can be assumed that environmental awareness could refrain car use once national and domestic economies improve in Latin America. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article characterizes the mobility patterns of women and men residing in the first ring of rural development of Cuenca, Ecuador. It focuses on those who engage in economic, educational, and care tasks. Using data from a representative survey applied in the study area, the destinations, modes of transportation, travel times, and other variables associated with their daily trips are described. The results show that the mobility of all groups is characterized by trips to the urban area. However, women who perform paid work and care tasks use public transport more and invest more time in their travels. The article concludes by emphasizing the importance of gender roles, occupational ties, and public transportation in rural mobility. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The main objective of this research is to evaluate from a multidimensional perspective the current situation of public transport in Ibarra city. This work uses data obtained from Movildelnor Public Company, Ecuadorian Institute of Statistics and Census, and also obtained from the application of a survey of a sample of 391 taxi users in Ibarra city. The results obtained have been analyzed through the use of descriptive statistics and the application of an econometric model in order to estimate the variables that affect the frequency of use of the service. An important result of this study shows that there is statistically significant evidence indicating that in the case evaluated, being a woman reduces the probability of daily use of the taxi service, confirming the existing gap between men and women in terms of access to services. Therefore, it is important to guarantee access to transport services that reduce the inequality of vulnerable groups. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Cable cars are analyzed as an innovative modality of public transport through the sociotechnical approach. Analytical categories of the Dutch current of technological transitions and socio-technical alliances proposed by Latin American authors are used, the case of the Metropolitan Zone of the Valley of Mexico is studied. The research aims to explain the construction of sociotechnical trajectories in the case of an urban cable car and the degree of interactions between relevant public and private actors. Latin America has been at the forefront in the implementation of cable cars for public transport in big cities. Although cable car technology is imported, its implementation has involved organizational, institutional and infrastructure innovations that aim to analyze comparing the different lines of the Mexican megalopolis. We obtained, from the theoretical approaches proposed, the description of the landscape, the regime and the level of innovation niche. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article analyzes the term "transborder" and its evolution in border studies. Its application in different disciplines is highlighted, as well as its importance in understanding the complex interdependence between border regions and cities. The concept has been used in studies on transborder cooperation and borders in general, and has evolved as border studies have become more interdisciplinary. The relationship between transborder and development in border contexts is mentioned, as well as the importance of transborder cooperation and the elimination of barriers for individual development. The concept of transborderism as a form of appropriation of border spaces based on the production of collective meanings is also addressed. The document compiles bibliographic references related to the topic of borders and transborder cooperation. [Extracted from the article]

Within the set limits on space, this article reconstructs the daily life of Alfonso Sancho Mateos (1858-1952) during his workrelated sojourn in England –years 1880 and 1881– as a representative of Sancho Hermanos, sherry shippers established in El Puerto de Santa María. The second part of the study covers the period from October 1st, 1880 to the beginning of March 1881. The methodology employed is inseparable from the main source used, which is the copious correspondence that Alfonso Sancho maintained during the referred years 1880 and 1881 –mostly from London– with Mercedes Peñasco García (1861-1929), then his fiancée, resident in El Puerto de Santa María. It is a unitary and coherent corpus that has been transmitted generationally until reaching the author of this work, a great-grandson by paternal line of the aforementioned Alfonso and Mercedes.

This article evaluates the effects of the construction of the Line K aerial cable in the city of Medellín, Colombia, considering two periods: 2005-2012 and 2005-2017. Based on a difference-in-differences model, its effects on variables such as the value of the square meter of land, housing density, average years of study, travel time and mode of transportation are determined. One of the main findings is that the construction of the aerial cable has had positive effects on social mobility, since it makes it possible for the population to migrate from this territory by achieving higher schooling and a higher level of income.

The purpose of this study is to analyse the application and impacts of International Financial Reporting Standard 16 on Leases, evaluating the financial statements of seven Chilean transport and logistics companies. It is empirical research with a descriptive approach among companies listed on the Chilean stock exchange. It was found that the most affected companies are RedBus Urbano S.A., LATAM S.A. and Correos de Chile, due to the high recognition of operating lease assets and liabilities. Companies belonging to this industry that use a high level of operating leases to finance their operations are exposed to the requirements of IFRS 16 and consequently to changes in their financial statements and financial metrics.

Introduction: environmental pollution in urban areas is mainly due to greenhouse gas emissions from the burning of fuel in the vehicle fleet, which increases in situations of vehicle congestion, which, in addition to being a source of noise pollution, affects the physical and mental health of citizens. Objective: to determine the perception of independent urban transport consultant experts on the causes of vehicle congestion and its relationship with environmental pollution and health. Materials and methods: an observational and descriptive study in the city of metropolitan Lima, through the identification of critical points of vehicular congestion and through structured interviews with independent consultants, on the causes of traffic, environmental pollution and health. Results: the main traffic generators observed were constructions, closed streets, ambulatory commerce, informal stops, unauthorized parking, and accidents. While the causes of congestion, identified by the consultants, were based on poor management and road planning, lack of road safety education for drivers and pedestrians, informal stops, and obsolete vehicles. Conclusions: the capital city still suffers from high levels of traffic congestion, which affects the health and economy of Peruvians. From the analysis based on the opinions of experts, it is recommended that strategies and policies be directed towards solutions that include institutional reforms that favor improvements in efficiency and effectiveness in the management of urban transportation, facilitate the renewal of the vehicle fleet and implement awareness campaigns to create a citizen culture.

In this article, the level of satisfaction-dissatisfaction of urban bus drivers with their job position in Cuba was evaluated. A well-designed workstation guarantees that workers don't suffer occupational diseases, longer working hours as well as a better job performance. The observation method was used, which provided the guidelines to design a survey to 60 urban bus drivers, who evaluated 24 parameters of interest related to their position. Although, in general, the results were acceptable, it is well known that the drivers suffer from fatigue, stress or overexertion that could increase the risk of traffic accidents. The result of this poll will be very useful to elaborate an instrument that help improve the items considerate inappropriate, and to determine a guideline to evaluate the driver's position of the imported busses as well as the ones produced in our country.

Urbanization is developing in all areas of the planet. This process has an impact on the mobility of people in the city and the means to move both in metropolitan areas and in medium-sized cities. This article analyzes the evolution, between 2001 and 2019, of the motorized vehicle fleet in the communes of Chile in intermediate cities. Through the compilation and systematization of databases provided by official agencies and the use of statistical analysis, the explosive but heterogeneous increase of the vehicle fleet in the communes of such cities is made visible. This differentiated increase does not follow patterns related to urban hierarchy, poverty, income, or even those communes with a successful development model sustained by raw material exports. Based on the above, it is concluded that there are other multi-causal elements in the evolution of such vehicle fleet, such as inter-urban flows between communes, the morphology of the city or climatic conditions. These results invite us to reflect on the type of city that is being built and the problems in the sustainability of such growth for urban areas in the near future, due to the absence or weakness of pertinent territorial policies that favor other means of mobility.

The statistical technique of categorical principal components analysis (CAPTCA) shows that self-employment as a driver in informal transport encompasses a range of forms of social exclusion in addition to informal employment. The data are obtained from a survey applied to 73 motorcycle taxi drivers. Theoretically, it is argued that the informal sector does not operate under the principles of the market, but rather has characteristics and is part of a multidimensional and growing social problem, social exclusion. Three main components were obtained that explain 80.5% of the observed variation. To conclude that the types of social exclusion that affect this group of workers are made up of at least: geographical exclusion, income exclusion, economic exclusion, exclusion from facilities and exclusion by time.

The spontaneous and disorderly growth of Huancayo city in Peru, has been stimulated by the informal public transport, distributed in a dispersed and tangled way, with a tendency towards peripheral areas. Thus, the objective of this article is to analyzing how urban mobility constituted a factor that influenced the unsustainable growth of the urban surface of Huancayo city between 2007 and 2020. The descriptive-explanatory method allowed characterizing the increase in urban mobility, urban mobility and explain its impact on the growth of Huancayo city. It is concluded that there is a relationship between the growth of urban mobility, the population increase in the periphery of the city and the unsustainable growth of the urbanized area of Huancayo city in the period studied, with an increase of 54% between 2007 and 2020, stimulated by motorized mobility as the main means of transportation.

Manizales has an air quality network which measure particulate matter (PM) in ambient air concentrations. However, this monitoring system does not have information of pollutant concentrations in the vicinity of roads. The objective of this study was to determine the concentration of the fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and black carbon (BC) near main roads of Manizales. The evaluation considered micro-environments related with pedestrians of roads and passengers of public transport buses. PM2.5 and BC concentrations were measured during two weeks for periods of five hours per day in the morning. The instruments used were two DustTrack photometers (model 8533) and a Microethalometer model AE51. The data were analyzed according to each micro-environment and three different zones of the city. The median values of PM2.5 and BC concentrations were 10% and 30% lower in the eastern zone than in the center zone, showing the impact of vehicular emissions in ambient air concentrations. In public transport buses, the median of PM2.5 and BC concentrations were 57% and 54% higher than those obtained near roads. In terms of inside the public transport buses micro-environment, the contribution of BC was approximately 41% of the total PM concentrations. This is the first study performed in Manizales in which concentrations of fine particles and BC near roads and public transport (pedestrians and passengers) were evaluated. These types of studies are important for adding new information for air quality management in the city and for complementing the official air quality monitoring. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Globalization requires transportation systems that allow a rapid and massive exchange of goods in the face of new patterns of production and consumption. Air transport is essential for the rapid distribution of freight, where airports serve as connecting nodes between global and regional scales. The specificities of air cargo are shaping an airport network composed of a limited number of specialized terminals that concentrate the majority of the cargo volume. Due to the lack of studies on this matter for Spain, this paper aims to characterize whether Spanish airports are also joining the global air cargo dynamics. For this, an updated functional hierarchical relationship of airports is proposed through an analysis of conglomerates or clusters. The results show the concentration and specialization of air cargo in only four airports (two hubs for passengers and freight and two specialized cargo airports), according to the global processes of air freight transportation. This fact redraws the traditional airport hierarchy of freight transport and contributes new elements for the planning of transportation infrastructures and logistic activity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article talks about the importance of adapting cities and improving urban transportation systems to increase efficiency in work. It also mentions that increasing productivity requires a long-term national strategy that involves the government, decentralized institutions, universities, the legislative power, and companies committed to growth and development. On the other hand, it is mentioned that people's health is affected by unhealthy eating habits and high inflation, which makes it difficult to access proper food. The importance of public policies that promote the development of agro-industries with higher added value and the creation of jobs is highlighted. [Extracted from the article]
