25 Strategy Of Sustainable Development Of City Transport Systems Anashkina Nataliia Yurjevna 1* , Juliater Simarmata 2 1 The Ural State University of Railway Transport, Rusia, 2 Institut Transportasi dan Logistik Trisakti, Jakarta, Indonesia *Corresponding author: nanashkina@usurt.ru Abstract The aim of this work is to develop a strategy for the sustainable development of transport systems in big cities and to apply this strategy for Ekaterinburg city – the capital of the Ural Federal Region (Russia) in order to improve its economic, ecologic and social situation. The urgency of the study is due to the need for a unified algorithm with effective indicators (sets of indicators) for assessing the functioning of urban transport, its infrastructure systems and the architectural development and to find useful tools for city transport systems operation optimization in the direction of sustainable development. Key words: green logistics; urban transport systems; sustainability; sustainable development; livability; ecology; economics; society; megacities; transit-oriented development. Introduction Transport systems have a significant influence on the urban environment that is aboutconditions of people life and city development. Alongside with all the benefits of modern sophisticated transportation, giving people the opportunity of quick and comfortable moving causes a lot of problems. The most striking of them include air, water, and soil pollution, noise and vibration exposure, dust and garbage accumulation; crashes and injures during traffic accidents, lowering of physical activity level. These matters may be dangerous for human health and life and be a thread for the livability of future generations, triggering a climate change. Transport systems are responsible for 25 percent of carbon emission (Taiyab, 2008). According to recent research, 23 percent of total energy consumption falls to transport sector (Jeon & Amekudzi, 2005), presupposing great expenditures, vulnerability to fuel price increases, and also harm for the environmentbecause of using 95 % non-renewable fossil fuel. Another group of issues is connected with traffic congestions, sprawl, and occupation of vast territories by transport infrastructure, which contributes to decrease access to working places,
