Background

Infrastructure provides the basic needs of human beings, and sustainable infrastructure systems are essential for the survival, health, and well-being of a society. The civil, environmental, and ocean engineers are at the epicenter in seeking the means to enhance human life through modernization of infrastructure as evidenced by provision of shelter, water, and transport, amongst others.

The current fast rate of urbanization and industrialization has caused a rise in environmental issues, involving environmental mismanagement, which has been associated with unforeseen global catastrophes. The problems are further aggravated by the impacts of environmental degradation such as soil erosion, hurricanes, sea-level rise, depletion of water resources, etc. These issues have become the current focus of attention and studies of the world’s academicians and professionals in infrastructure development. Relevant researches include not only hard infrastructure but also soft infrastructure aspects such as regulation, institution, and policy development framework.

In many developing countries, including Indonesia, lack of infrastructure has been the main obstacle of investment and development activities. Besides limited available fund, the acceleration of sustainable infrastructure development still has to face the challenges of, among others, knowledge, human resource management, best practices, and capacity development. On the other hand, developing countries generally possesses abundant local natural  resources, sufficient carrying capacity, and local wisdom. Therefore, developing countries should reflect from the past and understand the current situation to have a better, sustainable infrastructure development in the future.

In order to meet these multifaceted challenges, not only proper planning, design, implementation and verification exercises, but also clear policy and strategy direction of sustainable infrastructure development are required, via an integrated, multidisciplinary and holistic approach.

The global momentum for sustainable development must now lead to practical applications of the engineering and science of sustainability – an optimization – which allows a comprehensive planning with maximum attention on sustainability aspects.

The objectives of the conference are:

• To provide a platform for exchange of ideas and information among academics, researchers, consultants, engineers, manufacturers and post graduate scholars in civil, ocean, and environmental engineering
• To discuss and evaluate the latest approaches, innovative technologies, policies and new directions in infrastructure development, pollution prevention and eco-friendly technologies adapted to developing countries
• To promote cooperation and networking amongst practitioners and researchers involved in addressing infrastructure and built environment issues
