Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Transporte público
CONT

Las nuevas tecnologías han dado lugar a la creación de un vehículo guiado ópticamente(sistema CIVIS). Se trata de un autobús articulado que no necesita ser guiado por un conductor. Este sistema conjuga la flexibilidad del servicio de autobús tradicional(capacidad para evitar obstáculos, rodadura sobre neumáticos...) con la calidad del servicio del tranvía(respeto medioambiental, comodidad, seguridad, espacio reservado...). Para ello requiere de infraestructuras ligeras(se sustituyen los raíles por una marca en el suelo).

Human (individual or social) considerations of desirable ecological situations.

CONT

Environmental quality refers to the properties and characteristics of the environment, either generalized or local, as they impinge on human beings and other organisms. Environmental quality is a general term which can refer to: (1) varied characteristics such as air and water purity or pollution, noise, access to open space, and the visual effects of buildings, and (2) the potential effects which such characteristics may have on physical and mental health.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Droit environnemental
  • Gestion environnementale
DEF

Ensemble des conditions qui, propres à un environnement donné, rendent agréable la vie des êtres humains qui y habitent.

OBS

Dans la pratique, les pouvoirs publics entendent souvent, par «qualité de l'environnement», un état tel qu'un certain degré de pollution reste acceptable ou tolérable. Il s'agit là d'une vision réductrice du concept de qualité de l'environnement. Ce seuil de pollution est difficile à définir; il se résume souvent à l'interdiction de dépasser telle ou telle concentration, tel ou tel seuil critique.
