Development workers new to rural Indonesia are aften surprised by how frequently vilagers mention that their top development priority is to overcome their isolation. Hamlets want to be joined to villages; and villages want to have access to markets, scholls, and hospital. Indonesia is not an easy environment for roads and bridges. Earthquakes and their aftershocks crack their foindations. Landslides cover them in mud. Tropical storms lash them with the most bitter enemy that any road can face: little droplets of water that wash away their foundations. Innocent grasses spring up overnight, sending out root and tendrils that split road surfaces. The content of this book is easy to understand because each picture are complimented by simple explanation. Therefore, it can be used as technical training manual. Post Date : 13 Oktober 2006 |
