The spread of road paving has significantly contributed to social and economic development by improving the efficiency of automobile traffic. However, concerns have also been raised about the environmental impact of paving, as it is recognized as one of the causes of the heat island phenomenon, environmental pollution, and urban flooding. Consequently, paving has begun to be recognized as a factor that causes environmental burden. A variety of paving technologies related to the environment have been developed. Systematically organizing these technologies from an environmental perspective, analyzing the environmental issues each technology addresses, and clearly assessing its effectiveness are both practical and academically significant. Therefore, this book aims to organize and categorize paving technologies that address specific environmental issues.
