| Research Abstract |
In the highland area of Papua New Guinea, the sections of the roads with steep slope and crossing river are impassable, which constrain the development."Do-nou"technology required only locally available material and labour were applied to reinforcement of the abutment of the bridge. The slope was made gentle by lowering the level of the road or opening the new route. The effectiveness of those intermediate technologies were verified. It was also found that transfer of the technology considering the way of the community mobilization made the technology disseminated and applied by themselves resulting the improvement of the trafficability.
