such as mobility and analyze it from different perspectives is necessary if we consider that is an aspect of human life which expresses many of the problems that significantly affect human performance in the city and, consequently, affects the development of the economy that is concentrated there. That is why talk of mobility requires or we demand a level of analysis that goes beyond the merely physical and institutional to sociological and cultural fields, which ultimately can dictate human behavior and their attitude to urban processes, and Overall, how it operates in daily life. Although the following text does not refer deeply to cover these areas, if the comments and does include in its analsis some of the many aspects related to mobility problems.
MOBILITY AND TRANSPORT
means being human transport mobility or one of the most important features of the last two centuries of human history, we can say that we have a number of means of transport that have revolutionized the world and have developed ways to different relationships, through the emotional and reaching the purely commercial.
transport will always be important and emerging issues on it will lead us to see our planet of different sizes, and although the entry of technological elements such as the Internet was thought that people would choose to stay at home, this has not become a true human being, who needs others to live, not just the distance but also to its nearest surroundings.
this as a gateway to our main theme: the mobility through different means of transport and its effects on their environment is actually a large number of related sub-themes, among which are: public and private transport, fuel and alternatives, vehicles, bicycles, employment, new territory, public investment and pollution, among others. Clear in this trial we can not address them all, but my perspective I shall address this aspect becomes increasingly important today. CAR PARADIGM
The main causes of increased surrounding vehicles, not only in Bogotá, but in all our cities and territories, is the continuation of the "American Dream", one which has as objective that each family can have a car, this dream is so rooted in the idiosyncrasies of our ancestors and our present, which is perhaps the most difficult to change, because although public investment and the respective changes to be made are of great magnitude, the field where is more difficult the battle is the mind, because here everything is born before being translated into reality.
For a university student or a middle-ranking employee, buying a car is the relationship with other concepts that are often personal stimuli: independence and autonomy, effort, hard work, intelligence, and many familiar example is related to the conquest of a beautiful young lady, and in the case of a woman can result in the demonstration of women's freedom, so from this first design is very interesting work needs to be done.
This paradigm of independence and self-improvement is an idea that does not look objectively at the additional impact to have a car.
For this, efforts must be vast in all areas of society: schools, universities, parents associations, businesses and roads through rich media, always using the creativity in each , finally exhausting all resources, this to promote public awareness about how we are hurting the increase in cars and what are its devastating things to come, just ask the various modes of transportation that exist in some developed countries, which tend to a better living environment, where there are people from all walks of economically taking the bike to different routes, regardless of whether the office or the home of his best friend.
ALTERNATIVE FUEL CONTAMINATION vs
There is no environmental issue more urgent than that caused by pollution, the ozone layer is increasingly detrimental and a visible result is the greenhouse effect on this element important discussions have been opened locally, nationally and internationally.
Apart from the deficient organization of the waste, industrialization, the vulnerability to natural resources, is attached as an element of pollution generated by burning of cars, this is a time bomb that has caused conflicts irreversible as the Iraq war, which has also been argued by the eager exploitation Unidense State Oil and its derivatives, however, continue in them.
are currently developing fuel alternatives, but so far none has been massively in action, and although it sounds like the same, it should encourage the development of new elements that provide the same guarantees for vehicles, this should be working together with research laboratories, universities and governments closer, there is no other solution that comes out of nothing, since the solution to the problems of society must come from very basis of it: human beings.
biodiesel, natural gas, ethanol, are among the first proposals on fuel, since the level of gas emissions of existing vehicles passing through the streets of our country have overloaded our vital oxygen, which is not like before we thought that our beautiful forests were the most free from this phenomenon of society, we must again return to other options that promote real environmental change, and of course remember that TV commercial for the WWF, where we showed so clearly the lighters polluting our planet. PUBLIC TRANSPORT
Public transport is the most frequented by the grassroots, not because it is more pleasant and cleaner, but because he plays, which is why we give back to the connotation of having your own car, as this is relative to the upper echelons of society, not the poor.
Otherwise we could do a poll on how long each Cali mounted in the bus, and perhaps find the truth, many do not even know more than two bus routes, much less have passed through the center of the city before of diversion by the amendments to the MIO, and now less.
is also true that riding a bus is a task to be on guard, because issues such as vandalism and discomfort, have this means a pejorative way of mobilization, so public awareness is the first aspect to focus. The second is to establish better conditions, decent conditions to integrate the community about this problem and also provide elements of competitiveness. BICYCLE
This transport is fairly ancient origin, but remains relevant in our generation, and how they will survive for much longer, because not only does not pollute, but also is low in cost, each person faces to challenge your fitness, and helps to reduce the space occupied by other modes of transport.
front of the above it is clear that the bicycle is a powerful reducer of the transportation problem, but do not yet possess the minimum requirements to become legally a better system, because there are flaws in the bike paths, traffic rules that prioritize the bicycle on the car, safety and others as parking. This will be part of the experience of citizens, in which a person can face the theft of the medium up to 3 times in two months, with the vehicle safer.
So if we agree with the widespread use, but first they must provide conditions that ensure the physical integrity of each cycle-errant.
Ultimately the use of private cars must undergo a financial penalty, as this is the most vulnerable side of those owners, and it may seem unfair, this is a contribution to help the economic and social balance, because if the vehicle itself is more expensive to travel with my family on vacation and I have to use inter-or medium transport need, using public transport demand, which also must be built to meet these needs effectively. TRANSPORT LOGISTICS
While transportation is one of the most costly elements of logistics is also vitally important as it enables all reaches its destination, then if everyone's responsibility.
regard only proposed road corridors connecting the download sites, with locations, can be seen as a good airway management, but all stakeholders (exporters, importers, all those involved in the supply chain) in this work should work for the changes are really going in the growth of this work is increasingly demanding.
is perhaps a clever opportunity for those monies that were to invest in expansion of routes for trucks in the city, are invested in port infrastructure, airport and movement of goods within the national roads connecting with abroad. CONVEYORS
As owners of the buses that use to argue from this medium, they should raise other forms of work, because like, we do with so many buses, increasing pollution and fatal victims of this poor planning.
This is a task for everyone, not just with his hand in his pocket, but also with hands on their hearts or how many more must die for the destruction of their lungs, as posed by the texts is a high cost which is do not assume a real faces to the owners of public transport companies.
