摘要

Throughout the developing world, many people live in rural communities. The tracks and roads upon which they depend are, in many cases, in poor condition: difficult in the dry season and impassable in the rains. This lack of access is the root cause of much rural poverty as it is difficult to achieve any development-social or economic-when isolated from schools, health facilities, centres of employment and markets. Most government budgets cannot provide all rural communities with a regularly maintained and passable road. However, if the ability to travel to a destination is prioritised over a smooth and uniform road surface, a possible solution emerges. Sites that are impassable, dangerous or at risk of imminent failure are improved; the rest remain unimproved. In this solution, vehicles can travel safely and reliably and the cost of the work is much less than a full improvement scheme. Roads are maintained and, as funds and traffic increase, more sites can be improved. This approach is known as 'spot improvements'. This paper describes key technical aspects of spot improvements, explains some problems faced and, using Mozambique as a case study, outlines how these problems can be addressed.
