Simple linear distances between origin and destination poorly describe travel in Nepal, where rugged terrain,underdeveloped transportation infrastructure, and diverse vegetation heavily influence favorable travel routes. ... See More + In this context, expected travel times explain more about the remoteness of starting locations than geographic distance. Applied to service facilities, these time‐based measures of remoteness amount to measures of physical accessibility to services. However, traditional survey‐based measures of time suffer from problems of inaccurate reporting and standard survey error. Instead, this study built a geographic information system–based cost time model of travel that enables more accurate and generalizable assessment of accessibility.Having validated the generic model and compared it with other popular metrics, the study demonstrates its value by inputting a variety of services into it. This paper provides descriptive analyses of accessibility trends to these services at national, provincial, municipal, and geographic scales and suggests research possibilities unlocked by such a general purpose model. The paper concludes with thoughts for how the data and analysis,both freely available public goods, can enable additional research and better policy making.  See Less -

The World Bank (the ‘Customer’) retained Garrad Hassan America, Inc. (DNV GL) to complete a 24-month Site Resource Report, which consists of an independent analysis of the wind regime and energy production at two locations in the Maldives, as part of the Wind Resource Assessment and Mapping in the Maldives project. ... See More + The results of the work are reported here. The project is primarily funded by the Energy Sector Management Assistance Program (ESMAP). The overall objective consists of providing a validated mesoscale wind atlas for the Maldives, including associated datasets. This aims to provide policy makers in the Maldives and other stakeholders with accurate and valuable knowledge of the national wind resource, including complementary tools, which can be of direct practical use, both for formulating energy policy and implementing wind projects. This report presents a description of the project sites and indicative turbine technology considered. It then describes the available measurements and analysis of the wind data. This is followed by an evaluation of the expected project gross and net energy for a wind turbine in the vicinity of the measurement locations, as influenced by assumed losses and uncertainties. It then provides an overview of the extreme winds and turbulence expected at the sites. Finally, it presents DNV GL’s observations and recommendations.  See Less -
