A sustainable city environment through child safety and mobility:A challenge based on ITS?
2012
Our cities should be designed to accommodate everybody, including children. We will not move toward a more sustainable society unless we accept that children are people with transportation needs, and ‘bussing’ them around, or providing parental limousine services at all times, will not lead to sustainability. Rather, we will need to make our cities walkable for children, at least those above a certain age. Safety has two main aspects, traffic safety and personal safety (risk of assault). Besides being safe, children will also need an urban environment with reasonable mobility, where they themselves can reach destinations with reasonable effort; else they will still need to be driven. This p…

"Wymuszona mobilność - wymuszona osiadłość". O powojennych przesiedleniach i ich obecnych skutkach dla lokalnych społeczności
2016
We współczesnym dyskursie publicznym dotyczącym II wojny światowej rzadko wspomina się o masowych powojennych ruchach ludności w Europie, o przesiedleniach Polaków z Kresów Wschodnich II Rzeczypospolitej, wysiedleniach Niemców i przesiedleniach ludności ukraińskiej. Procesy „wymuszonej mobilności, jak i wymuszonej osiadłości”, stanowiące codzienność tamtych lat zaowocowały upadkiem wielu lokalnych mikroświatów, powstaniem nowych ojczyzn, nowych społeczności i nowych tożsamości. Konfrontacja odmiennych kulturowo światów „gospodarzy” i „gości”, międzygrupowe konflikty, aspiracje do „lepszego życia”, stały się między innymi źródłem „nowych mobilności”, które nadal trwają. Artykuł będzie zatem …

Faire face ou faire avec. Situations de vulnérabilité et situations de handicap
2020
Nous sommes tous victime lorsqu’un aléa survient au cours d’un déplacement (grève, panne, situation climatique exceptionnelle, etc.), par définition imprévisible. Mais il peut rendre vulnérables les personnes en situation de handicap cognitif et/ou mental plus particulièrement. La distinction sémantique entre situation de handicap et situation de vulnérabilité doit ici garder tout son sens. Et la tendance à employer indifféremment l’une et l’autre notion en sciences humaines et sociales, mérite d’être dénoncée. Différencier l’une et l’autre notion, c’est admettre et reconnaître les tactiques résilientes que les personnes en situation de handicap mettent en œuvre quotidiennement pour compens…

A Feasibility Study for the Transition to Electric Mobility in the Island of Favignana
2021
The energy transition and climate neutrality are a short time scenario as climate concerns are rising fast. Small islands are natural microgrids in which the energy transition is subjected to economic and regulatory constraints and highly challenged by technical issues. As a first step, the Mediterranean island of Favignana has been considered in this study, to assess how electric mobility could impact the power system. According to the plans from the local decision makers, the island is moving towards a full public electric mobility in the near term, also due to the participation in the BloRin project. For this reason, a feasibility study about the technical and environmental impact of ele…

Smart and valued? ICT urban (transport) solutions in the city official communication
2022
To optimize the everyday functioning of a city, urban authorities can implement smart city tools and solutions. Mobility is a typical field associated with the concept of a smart city. It is interesting to take a closer look at the solutions applied through the information accessible on the official websites, while exploring, at the same time, the possibilities offered by new research tools. The main objective of this work is to establish the significance of the information and communication technologies (ICT) in the process of creating smart mobility in a smart city, based on the texts posted on official websites. Using the natural language processing (NLP) methods and tools offered by the…
La smart mobility come fattore chiave verso una smart city. Alcune esperienze europee
2013
The study and the analysis of some fruitful experiences in Europe we find that the smart mobility is one of the central pillars for initiating processes and best practices sensitive to environmental issues and sustainable development. The city of Stockholm has called his plan sustainable precisely “The Walkable City” meaning that achieve a planning instrument that brings the city to be crossed easily by bicycle, on foot, but also with public transport efficient and low impact on the climate. For this reason the city has the goal of being fossil fuel free by 2050. Freiburg, however, with the urban district of Vauban is definitely an inno- vative model focuses on the use of sustainable public…
