Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Efficient transport cannot exist without resilient infrastructure. Going further, sustainable transport cannot exist without sustainable infrastructure. Some solutions in design and construction of infrastructure allow reducing adverse effects of transport on environment. Simultaneously, infrastructure should be durable and recyclable. This Special Issue aims to collect solutions which contribute to transport infrastructure being more durable and less inconvenient for the environment. The topics of papers can include the following issues:

  • Reducing the amount of new materials and energy necessary to build new transport infrastructure;
  • Recycling and rebuilding of old distressed transport infrastructure;
  • Usage of waste materials for infrastructural object construction;
  • Structural and material solutions which allow reducing noise and air pollution;
  • Solutions to reduce wear of infrastructure caused by vehicles and climatic conditions;
  • Planning of infrastructure with regard to reducing the adverse effects of transport on the environment;
  • Adaptation of transport infrastructure to climatic changes.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Sustainability is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

Designing and implementing investment projects are activities that have a direct impact on the natural environment and pose a threat to sustainable development of rural areas. The issue of agricultural production space protection during the implementation of linear projects in Poland is often only mentioned at the design stage as the final element. The aim of the study is to propose a tool to enable an assessment and modelling of a motorway design variant in order to minimise the impact on the agricultural production space. Four indicators introduced in the modelling procedure include the loss of agricultural land, a decrease of land productivity in the vicinity of an investment project, changes in the spatial structure of areas divided by the investment, and difficulties resulting from the accessibility of areas. The superiority of the proposed method over consolidations implemented in the vicinity of a motorway is due to the introduction into projects not only of elements organising the space but also attributes that prevent the reduction of the production capabilities of the land located in the vicinity of the motorway (Module I) and, secondly, the elements decreasing the re-organisation of the space (Module II).
