Settlements were connected with either dense or sparse road networks.
Surprisingly, in some cases, we found higher habitat connectivity for dense road networks than for sparse road networks.
Sparse Road Networks are dominant in Indonesia, e.g. the regency, the provincial and the national road network.
As the study area of 43 km2 in South West China was subject to multiple constraints such as sparse road networks, steep terrain, and poor infrastructure, we applied the cost-constrained conditioned Latin hypercube sampling (CCLHS) scheme for soil sampling at 120 locations to a depth of 1 m.
Also on our list is Papua New Guinea, between the Coral Sea and the South Pacific, where cellphone coverage is limited to the capital and a few towns, and the sparse road network and rugged terrain make air travel the best way to get around.
On the Soviet side of the border, penal labour worked hard in order to add some density to sparse road and rail networks.
Increasingly summer travel away from the sparse road systems in interior Alaska is by off-road vehicles (ORVs), the majority of which are Class I ORVs that weight less than 360 kg with 4 6 low-pressure tires.
If the route the driver must take was increased four-fold to reflect both sparse road networks and dispersed screening sites, the estimates for cytology laboratory transport range from I$0.48 2.55 or I$0.68 2.78, depending on efficiency assumptions.
Settlement in the area is sparse, but paved roads connect most of the towns.
Central Africans often cite the university, sports stadium and sparse network of roads as achievements of the Bokassa era.
