The activity of this department is mainly focused on the establishment of indicators of sustainable transport development, particularly on calculations and the assessment of trends. Voluntary tools (EMAS, IPPC) are implemented, environmental education and training provided, and an evaluation is prepared of the external costs of transport, including the losses of human lives.
The department deals with the issues of wastes in transport and fragmentation of habitats caused by transport infrastructure. In the context of increasing environmental burdens and negative impacts on human health, the issues of sustainable development of a society comes forth, which aims to create conditions for the maintenance of needs of the present generation, without jeopardising the possibility of meeting the needs of future generations.
Within this department, primary data are compiled and background information and case studies prepared. On the basis of the acquired information, we subsequently prepare expert opinions, studies and analyses for the needs of state administration bodies, local governments and private organizations.
