Ahh Jansson, Mervi Karhula

Abstract

The aim of this study was to give practical interpretations to the concept of sustainable development in relation to road management in its component parts: planning, design, construction, maintenance, and improvement. The report begins by a short discussion concerning the definitions of sustainable development and the tasks given to the National Road Administration by the Finnish law. Then a presentation of the environmental policy of the Road Administration follows. Programs to enter a new development path in transport policy are then presented. An attempt is made to build a hierarchy of targets and means to reach these targets such that it could be used in road management.
