Nowadays several plants have aging problem. This type of problem occurs because the whole plant o...r some pieces of equipment are still in operation well beyond their design expected life, due e.g. to economical reason, regulatory constrain, or other issues.

Data on occupational accidents are usually stored in large databases by worker compensation autho...rities, and by the safety and prevention teams of companies. An analysis of these databases can play an important role in the prevention of accidents and the reduction of risks, but it can be a complex procedure because of the dimensions and complexity of such databases.

Transit-oriented development (TOD), first coined and mainly applied in the US, has received increasing interest in Europe over the past two decades as a sort of reinterpretation of typical intrinsic European planning principles and values. In the Old continent, it especially focuses on transport and land use integration, extending the approach from the local to the regional framework.

Transit Oriented Development (TOD) is an effective way to integrate land use and transport in pursuit of the goal of sustainable development. Most of the literature on TOD is devoted to station areas in urban contexts; even when TOD is considered with a regional approach, suburban and rural stations are poorly investigated. Analysing a case study, this paper explores spatial potentialities and constraints for TOD in suburban and rural contexts.

Integrating land use and transport planning is seen as a key approach to pursue more sustainable ...mobility patterns, but it requires an interdisciplinary pedagogy for those who will be working in these fields: architects, spatial planners and engineers.
