One of the most controversial planning issues internationally is the siting of waste disposal infrastructure in local communities. Compensation is viewed as a possible solution to siting difficulties in many countries. ...
Impact of bus priority attributes on catchment area residents in Dublin, Ireland

McDonnell, Simon ; Ferreira, S. (Susana) ; Convery, Frank J. (Center of Urban Transport Research, 2006)
