“…The transportation infrastructure projects often involve considerable land use, long-term investments, and huge resources. The results from the literature show that sustainability factors and performance can be categorized under environment, economic, social, engineering/resource utilization and project management [38]. For investigating different transportation infrastructure projects, it is always good practice to use relatively simple and transparent evaluation methods.…”

From the regional development point of view new investments are always of great importance as they are mainly expected to boost the regional economy and thus improve the living standard of inhabitants. Also for the literature purposes a new case study on the impact of investments on regional development can be perceived as an added value to the state of the art and thus worthy to be explored. In this research the impact is measured in the following aspects: social, economic, innovation, and environmental, which stand also for the main assessment criteria. Just recently, an opportunity has appeared to explore this subject on the Pomeranian Metropolitan Railway (PMR), which started its operations on 1 st September 2015, after five years of construction works and more than a 100-year long history. Thus, the paper presents the impact results of PMR on the development of the Pomeranian region, in the form of qualitative as well as quantitative assessments in the four aspects and on different levels of detail. The final conclusion states that the impact of PMR on the regional development has appeared to be negative in 33% and positive in 67%.

“…Construction projects face much uncertainty due to many factors, thus increasing the risk of not achieving the target value, or project performance goals and objectives. "Risk is inherently present in all construction projects…quite often, construction projects fail to achieve their time, quality, and budget goals" [18].…”

Cost savings and operational functionality were the two highest ranked KPI's for commercial building projects.…”

There is strong evidence to suggest that the use of collaboration and integration principles and methods improve overall project performance in the construction industry. Commercial Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) and Civil Infrastructure Alliance Contracting have specific collaboration and integration principles that define each as a unique delivery method. This paper investigates the similarities and differences between IPD and alliancing in terms of their key principles and explains the differences using the inherent differences between the construction sectors that have dominantly used each of the project delivery methods. The study uses 14 key performance indicators that are typically used to measure the performance of construction projects categorized into a) design optimization and b) construction risk management. The study concludes that IPD is more preferable for projects that require design optimization as the major KPI while alliancing might be more suitable for projects that deal with a significant amount of construction risks. The findings of this study can serve as a guide to properly identify collaboration and integration principles that will allow for better and enhanced project performance in a specific construction sector.

The paper introduces the various improvements implemented on buses in an eastern coastal city in Malaysia. Public buses in Malaysia, in general, and Kuantan, in particular, have been facing many challenges, including dwindling number of passengers and high costs of fleet maintenance. The research focused on the passengers' perspective of the new provision of bus services from the aspects of frequency, affordability, safety and security as well as comfort and convenience, all being sustainable public transport indicators adopted by Malaysia. Satisfaction with the current patronage and future aspiration were also evaluated against several quality measures of these buses and the waiting facilities. In ensuring the provision was sustainable, the company operating the bus services has also introduced disabledfriendly ramps for universal accessibility and on-board static and variable message signage and graphical presentation of bus routes and bus stops. Responses have been mixed on these value-added services. The research found that some socio-demographic and trip characteristics indeed influenced the current satisfaction levels, perceived services sustainability and passengers' expectation of future services. Improvements, hence, have been recommended to the bus operators and discussion with the management of the company has been undertaken to ensure future sustainability of Rapid Kuantan bus services.
