IL CASO ITALIANO PER LA MOBILITÀ SOSTENIBILE ED ACCESSIBILITÀ NELLE AREE INTERNE E MARGINALI

Abstract

Accessibility is one of the key elements for implementing sustainable development and cohesion policies, in terms of which it is expressed through the availability of an adequate transport system for access as easy as possible at least to basic services. The internal and marginal areas are usually territories identified within the rural and mountainous regions, areas with a low level of accessibility, characterized by low settlement density and accentuated depopulation phenomena. The concept of "internal" or "marginal" area cannot be defined in a restrictive and univocal way. Mobility as a Service (MaaS) is an emerging concept of new integrated transport services, and although it is often developed and studied from an urban point of view, in inland and marginal areas - with low population, long distances and low coverage tariff capacity - could improve the efficiency of the mobility system through the integration of different types of transport. The redesign of services in internal/marginal areas within the integrated local development projects are developed within the National Strategy of Internal Areas (SNAI).
