Dinamiche urbane delle stazioni ferroviarie ad alta velocità
No full textIl testo analizza le dinamiche urbane delle stazioni ad alta velocità mettendo in luce come la pianificazione dei trasporti e la pianificazione e progettazione urbanistica abbiano influito nel configurare ‘nuovi’ nodi-luoghi urbani e territoriali. Presenta particolare attenzione alla ricostruzione delle ragioni storiche e all’individuazione di future prospettive legate alla mobilità su ferro ad alta velocità e delle relazioni che intercorrono con la città, tenendo conto degli scenari multi scalari ad essa connessi. In particolare, il testo affronta la tematica sia dal punto di vista storico-bibliografico, sia da quello strettamente tecnico di modelli interpretativi e valutativi, operati tramite strumenti GIS, e definisce possibili nuovi scenari tra mutamenti e nuove creazioni per i quali è necessario governare le problematiche emergenti secondo modelli di pianificazione sostenibili integrati
Key Quality Criteria in an Integrated Multiple Transport Systems Scenario: A Systematic Literature Review
No full textEngaging Citizens in Public Transit Choice: Insights from Vietnam and Italy
No full textRecently, Multi-Criteria Decision-Making methods (MCDMs) have become increasingly relevant in public transport planning, offering structured ways to assess complex alternatives that involve both technical and human-centered criteria. Despite their widespread use, previous studies have often overlooked the involvement of citizens in the decision-making process. Moreover, the wide variety of available MCDMs can pose challenges in selecting the most appropriate method for a given context. To address these gaps, this study introduces an integrated framework that combines five MCDM techniques: AHP, SAW, TOPSIS, VIKOR, and PROMETHEE II. The approach incorporates both expert assessments and user preferences to provide a comprehensive assessment of transit alternatives. Applied to two case studies, Ho Chi Minh City (Vietnam) and Brescia (Italy), the framework highlighted how citizen input can meaningfully contribute to public transport planning while also enabling the comparison of methodologi..
Exploring the 15-minute neighbourhoods. An evaluation based on the walkability performance to public facilities
Full text linkRecent trends in urban policies are rediscovering a new focus on different urban life models that exclude the obsolete vehicle model and lead to renewed attention on the proximity dimension and active mobility. This vision takes concrete form in the concept of the 15-minute city model, focused on pedestrian accessibility from one's home to nearby urban services and spaces. In this perspective, the paper aims at exploring the theme of 15-minute cities through a GIS-based model to evaluate pedestrian accessibility to neighbourhood facilities. The implemented methodology integrates the assessment of walking distances, considering the time factor as crucial, and mapping the resident population. The method is then applied to measure the current performances of an existing neighbourhood in Parma from the 15 minutes city perspective, assessing accessibility based on home-facility travel times and the resident population distribution within reach. A reflection is proposed on what has been learned and on the possible contribution that the method can bring to monitoring the 15-minute city and to urban planning
Can Urban Regeneration improve Walkability? A space-time assessment for the Tintoretto area in Brescia
Full text linkIn recent years, shared programs have shown that one of the most critical challenges to promote sustainability in the contemporary city is mobility. The actions on physical context can be divided into two correlated themes: (i) the urban regeneration of existing city with a particular focus on public services for each urban unit and (ii) the planning of their accessibility. Nevertheless, if the correlation is clear and generally recognised in theory, an evaluation of how the urban regeneration projects can contribute to achieving sustainability goals in technical and ordinary practice still struggles to consolidate. Hence, the contribution aims to observing and evaluating the effects of local urban regeneration projects from a people-and-climate perspective, highlighting the pros of integrated urban planning and mobility management approaches. The paper presents an assessment framework that consists of a GIS-based time-space analysis of the walkability scenarios of public open spaces. It maps the urban spaces’ pedestrian permeability in a cells grid, which is applied to an algorithm able to measure the isochronic curve of access time. The approach proposed is applied to the case study of the urban regeneration project of the Tintoretto tower unit in Brescia, which is analysed in two temporal instant, ex-ante and ex-post. The results’ framework reflects on the proactive importance of measuring public space’s systemic regeneration strategies towards "projects people-and-climate oriented"
Evaluating active mobility: enhancing the framework for social sustainability
No full textActive mobility plays a crucial role in reducing traffic congestion, improving air quality, promoting well-being, good health, and fostering social equality, all of which align with the concept of social sustainability within the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). However, assessing the impact of active mobility on social sustainability remains challenging due to the lack of clear identification of the specific SDGs influenced by it. This review analyses how previous articles quantify active mobility, its antecedents, and impacts. Additionally, it aims to find if any impacts can contribute to defining Social Sustainability. A Rapid Evident Assessment method was employed in this research in two databases: PsycINFO and Scopus. Out of the first pool of 61 papers, 19 articles were selected. The findings provide a comprehensive framework of the variables that influence active mobility and those influenced by it. Active mobility predominantly contributes to addressing the 11th, 10th and 3rd SDGs. Furthermore, the social sustainability quantification can benefit from assessing active mobility impacts. This work also identifies knowledge gaps, offering valuable guidance for future research in the field
Widespread Urban Regeneration of Existing Residential Areas in European Medium-Sized Cities—A Framework to Locate Redevelopment Interventions
Full text linkWithin the scientific debate on urban regeneration, this paper intends to question possible planning techniques to address the implementation of widespread regeneration interventions in obsolete residential areas within medium-sized European cities, with particular attention to constructing a cognitive framework to locate redevelopment interventions. The widespread urban regeneration approach has yet to be sufficiently explored in the scientific literature, which focuses much more on replacing large derelict areas, though it seems particularly relevant for research and urban practice. This paper aims to illustrate a methodological framework for defining obsolete and degraded areas (at the block scale) suitable for redevelopment. Various criteria are considered, e.g., land use, buildings’ dating, state of preservation, population density, public spaces, and facility provision, and degree of accessibility. The methodological framework is then tested in the medium-sized Italian city of Parma. Data set parameters and threshold values to quantify the previously introduced criteria and perform GIS-based statistical and spatial analysis. The results show 96 areas potentially in need of regeneration, providing an opportunity to reflect on the criteria of suitability and priority for transformation and the framework of past and future planning scenarios
Parking demand diagnosis by automated payment transaction (APT) data: an application in a small-sized tourist city
No full textThe parking demand is a fundamental datum to evaluate and implement integrated policies of sustainable urban mobility in urban areas. Parking demand is hard to quantify and relevant in small- and medium-sized urban systems, especially with a high-tourist interest due to temporary flows and few available resources. The previous studies highlighted how demand assessment is a complex task, usually addressed by prediction models or exploitation of sensors in the field. Nevertheless, studies have yet to focus on the potential of automated payment transaction (APT) technologies in data collection and processing for parking demand analysis. However, they involve several challenges in data handling. This study proposes a method to automatically handle APT raw data to estimate some drivers of parking demand, such as the parking occupancy rates, the parking average time duration, and the rotation index of block-level on-street parking and/or parking area. The method has been experimented in the small-sized and touristic city of Sirmione (Italy) and used 23+ million APT data collected in 2 months of observation. The results are represented by control dashboards that are easy to read and interpret. The experimentation shows that practitioners and public administrations can adopt this method to diagnose parking demand with great accuracy and derive recommenda tions for future transport and urban planning. In the new paradigm of demand-oriented services, this method is crucial to quantify the ability of administrators to address parking demand
