Integrated Design and Construction - Single Responsibility
by Chartered Institute of Building Colin HardingManufacturing and service industries have significantly improved their levels of productivity, quality, and profitability over the past 30 years, whereas in the construction industry similar levels of improvement have been impossible to achieve. Numerous reports have identified fragmentation of the industry's management structures and processes as the underlying cause of the waste and inefficiencies that keep costs high and margins low. Integrated Design and Construction is an integrated yet competitive form of procurement, design and project delivery based on the principle of purchasing any other high value warranted manufactured product. Such an approach would make the construction process more like other manufacturing industries, allowing contractors to make similar improvements to those already seen in other manufacturing industries. Designed for use by experienced construction professionals, familiar and proficient with traditional design and construction system best practice, this Code of Practice provides both client and constructor with the necessary information to adopt this approach to create well-designed and well-constructed products, fully meeting client needs.

Integrated Electronic Payment Technologies for Smart Cities
by Don GrahamThis book addresses the use of existing and emerging electronic payment technologies within a smart city in the context of the clear and proven value these systems have demonstrated in improving transportation. It addresses such question as How does the toll gantry work? How does it read the transponder tag and deduct the correct amount? How do cities harness the transaction data from mass transit to better meet the demand during peak hours? What can city planners do to make trip scheduling and payments seamless, so commuters can go from park-and-ride to mass transit to ride-share with a single payment platform? The volume is technical in nature and describes solid technical solutions to engineers and planners associated with smart cities initiatives. It is specifically designed to support smart city designers and engineers as they develop strategies that incorporate the latest payment system technologies. It will also be of value to private sector payment systems solution providers looking to deliver their products and services to smart cities. In addition, the book supplements technical perspectives with guidance on planning and implementation. For example, it defines procurement approaches for emerging technologies such as crypto currencies and block chain. Rounding out technical detail with advice on policy and the organizational framework required to underpin the technologies, the book delivers practical support to smart city technical practitioners. It further stands as an appropriate text for university courses associated with smart city planning, operations, and urban analytics. This book explores these questions and provides answers that a typical transportation planner can follow. It covers technology topics such as RFID (Radio Frequency ID), ETC (Electronic Toll collection), and ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition). The book also delves into how contactless payment (Near-Field) technologies can be used in a smart city. Blockchain is introduced as a platform that is suitable for solving the problem of payment segregation and shows how the entities in a smart city can work together to provide a seamless payment solution for riders across different modes of transport. The book also covers some theoretical concepts of congestion pricing which students at the university level can apply to city planning projects and research into smart cities. Several examples of US-based and international smart city implementations are provided in the closing chapters which demonstrate new, innovative smart city techniques for the transportation planner.
Integrated Evaluation for the Management of Contemporary Cities: Results of SIEV 2016 (Green Energy and Technology)
by Stefano Stanghellini Marta Bottero Alessandra Oppio Giulio Mondini Enrico FattinnanziThis book highlights a selection of the best papers presented at the 2016 SIEV conference “The Laudato sì Encyclical Letter and Valuation. Cities between Conflict and Solidarity, Decay and Regeneration, Exclusion and Participation”, which was held in Rome, Italy, in April 2016, and brought together experts from a diverse range of fields – economics, appraisal, architecture, energy, urban planning, sociology, and the decision sciences – and government representatives. The book is divided into four parts: Human Ecology: Values and Paradigms; Integral Ecology and Natural Resource Management; Intergenerational Equity; and How to Enhance Dialogue and Transparency in Decision-making Processes. Cities are where 72% of all Europeans live, and this percentage is expected to rise to 80% by 2050. Given this trend towards urbanization, cities are continuously growing, which also entails a growing risk of social segregation, lack of security and mounting environmental problems. All too often, today’s cities have to cope with social and environmental crises, shifting the European urban agenda towards regeneration processes. Urban regeneration is more complex than merely renovating existing buildings, as it also involves social and environmental problems, inhabitants’ quality of life, protecting tangible and intangible cultural resources, innovation and business.
Integrated Food Safety and Veterinary Public Health
by Sava BuncicThe importance of food safety for human health has been widely recognized. The safety of foods of animal origin is particularly relevant because the large majority of food-borne diseases come from poultry, eggs, meat, milk and dairy products and fish. This textbook covers an integrated approach to this type of food production, hygiene and safety and shows how it results in concurrent benefits to animal well being, human health, protection of the environment and socioeconomics.

Integrated Landscapes in Policy, Practice and Everyday Life
by Kathryn Moore Paul Cureton Anastasia Nikologianni Alex AlbansExploring the ways in which an integrated landscape vision can help deliver regional, national, and international agendas, this book investigates how a new idea of landscape can reimagine governance, policy, economics, culture, identity, health, transport, and development priorities by connecting in a more powerful and meaningful way with local aspirations and demands. Developed in fieldwork undertaken over the last decade, the capacity of a landscape-led approach to deal with problems such as rapid urbanisation, water and food security, climate change, air pollution, and health is both timely and topical. Divided into three main sections, it includes illustrated case studies from the UK, Europe, East Asia, South Asia, and more. As part of a strategy to capture, build, and disseminate expertise in this approach, the book aims to develop an interdisciplinary body of work that will appeal to academics and professionals, by bringing together a number of contributors who are operating at the cutting edge of landscape-led large-scale transformation. This book is essential for practitioners and academics of landscape architecture, as well as students in the architecture and design fields.

Integrated Measurement -- KPIs and Metrics for ITSM: A narrative account
by Daniel McleanWhen companies look to identify opportunities for improvement, they often turn to Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to measure their current performance in achieving business strategies and objectives. There is a common misconception, however, that KPIs are simple measurements that are easy to create, and that the mere act of this measurement will cause people to change their behaviour and improve their performance without additional intervention. This book uses a unique fictional story to explain at a practical level how to implement new processes within an organization. It also shows how to facilitate the necessary changes to people's behaviour to make the processes work. Ideal for those new to ITSM and ITIL(R) implementation.
