There is now a significant body of research
on environmentally sensitive approaches to right-of-way (ROW) management. Utility
ROW managers would find a great use for a comprehensive reference that will
compile and organize relevant ecological ROW information from a wide variety
of sources. Such a reference can serve as a basis for complex technical
decisions and can help prepare managers for public and regulatory information
requests. Comprehensive, organized, and accessible information can assist ROW
professionals in their efforts to manage environmental concerns before these
concerns unduly complicate, delay, or halt ROW development. This effort will
produce a comprehensive bibliographic database pertaining to environmental
stewardship on ROWs. Beyond keyword searches for
title and author, unique search capabilities of this database feature an
ability to search the entire abstract and to search for specific subject
matter by selecting among the nearly 100 ROW-specific coded fields. Each of
the approximately 800 entries is coded for subjects of interest to ROW siting
and maintenance professionals. Because of this extensive coding, users can
refine their searches to review the available literature in a very specific
area of interest. This user-friendly, searchable, and sortable
database will be produced on CD-ROM. Keywords: Bibliography, database, environment, right-of-way,
stewardship |
