To promote social cohesiveness, economic growth, and environmental sustainability, transportation is essential. Including sustainability principles in transportation investment decisions is becoming more and more important as worries about climate change and environmental degradation grow. The purpose of this empirical study is to evaluate the degree to which transport business owners in Tamil Nadu, India's west districts integrate sustainability aspectsinto their decision-making processes. Using a mixed-methods approach, the study combines qualitative interviews with quantitative surveys. To learn more about the awareness, attitudes, and practices of transport business owners regarding integrating sustainability into investment decisions, a sample of these owners is questioned. In-depth discussions are also carried out to learn more about the elements affecting their decision-making procedures and the difficulties they encounter when incorporating sustainability issues. Although transport business proprietors are becoming more conscious of sustainability challenges, primary study specifies that there is still little practical incorporation of sustainability concepts into investment choices. Key obstacles to sustainability integration include things like insufficient funds, a lack of incentives from the government, and a lack of knowledge about sustainable practices. However, there are also instances of creative strategies and best practices used by some companies, telling that the transportation industry may be able to integrate sustainability more fully. Policymakers, business participants, and researchers working to advance sustainable transportation systems should take note of the study's conclusions. By determining the obstacles and possibilities for incorporating sustainability into transportation investment choices, this study aids in the creation of plans and regulations meant to encourage the area to adopt more ecologically friendly transportation methods.
With the spread of COVID-19, many countries have issued different policies and regulations on wearing masks to prevent the pandemic spread While wearing surgical masks is a major way to prevent COVID-19 in Asian countries, it is controversial in the western world French nations were sceptical on wearing masks as it is associated with religion freedom suppression, gender inequality or even the infamous “the veil in school†(le voile A l’A©cole) incident As the COVID-19 problem escalated, wearing masks proved to be effective in reducing the spread of virus and many French-speaking nations had to wear masks according to regulations and policies This raised the questions, ‘What is the French nations’ viewpoint?’ and ‘Does formal or informal institution prevail in wearing masks during COVID-19?’ Through data mining from Twitter, this study attempted to investigate how wearing mask (‘port du masque’) policies and regulations were perceived by French-speaking countries during COVID-19 In total, 1288 French Tweets were collected and analysed While it may be expected that French Tweets regarding wearing masks is primarily linked to health and culture, French Tweets on wearing masks were mainly linked to laws and policies
