“…Therefore, Rawls’ theory respects human dignity and seeks to lessen the gap between the poorest class of society and the other social classes. This theory of justice generally supports the gradual improvement of distributable benefits for the deprived classes of society ( France-Mensah et al, 2019 , Behbahani et al, 2019 ).…”

“…According to Rawls’ philosophy, social equity is a framework focused on the plight of society’s poorest ( Askari and Mirakhor, 2020 ). In general, this theory is derived from egalitarianism ( France-Mensah et al, 2019 ), which concerns allocating more distributable benefits to the poorest members of a society ( Liu et al, 2019 ). Therefore, Rawls’ theory respects human dignity and seeks to lessen the gap between the poorest class of society and the other social classes.…”

“…However, when developing M&R planning, most decision-makers do not have a formal set of evaluation metrics to assess social equity. France-Mensah et al [18] provided both a quantitative approach and evaluation metrics to support the integration of social equity into highway M&R programming decision-making. However, the proposed models are limited, in that they put forward single-objective optimization programming that does not consider other factors (e.g., economic prosperity).…”

This study investigates the pavement network maintenance and rehabilitation (M&R) programming problem, over a certain planning horizon and in the context of limited funding. We designed an integer programming model to fulfill three purposes, namely, optimize the road conditions, minimize user disturbance costs, and minimize agency costs. We present a case study in which this model is applied to the pavement network of Shanghai. We investigate the results through the use of five M&R strategies, to identify the Pareto-optimal trade-offs inherent in developing pavement network M&R planning. The results demonstrate that there is a positive relationship between PCI improvement and user disturbance costs and between PCI improvement and agency costs. Additionally, we conduct a comparative analysis between agency and government-oriented strategies to evaluate the effectiveness and equity consideration. The findings suggest that the government-oriented strategy improves the pavement condition effectively with low user disturbance costs, and the agency-oriented strategy accounts for more equity consideration. Finally, we formulate an extension model that considers multiple road types, for application to pavement network M&R programming. The results show that light rehabilitation and preventive maintenance are the most frequently implemented treatments on arterial roads and secondary trunk roads from the case network implementation. This study helps decision-makers identify the trade-offs made when developing a pavement network M&R program.

“…The first goal of SDG 10 presents the need that in 2030 it is necessary to progressively achieve and sustain the increase in income of 40% of the population base at a rate higher than the national average (United Nations 2020b). For the theoretical construction of this chapter, the concepts of equality and equity and how important it is that there is an evolution were first analyzed, in addition to how from the origin of a membership system, these differences were reduced or even eliminated (France-Mensah et al 2019).…”

The United Nations recognizes that Least Developed Countries (LDCs) are a category of States considered to be highly disadvantaged in their development process, for structural, historical, and geographical reasons. Facing more than other countries the risk of deeper poverty and of remaining underdeveloped. More than 75% of the LDC population still lives in poverty. Thus, these countries can still be characterized by their vulnerability to external economic shocks, natural and man-made disasters and communicable diseases, and great inequality. In this way, it can be said that LDCs need the highest degree of attention from the international community and support from partnerships such as the United Nations efforts to promote development and equity.
