Questionnaire for pilot sites

Transcription

1 Questionnaire for pilot sites Collection of facts and information of pilot sites for building a comparative, transnational typology of alpine territories For project partners: Please fill in the predefined gaps and boxes and try to answer all the questions clearly and completely. Use the predefined boxes and stick to the space limitations. If space isn t enough, please use the attached document to add more information. The questionnaire will be transferred directly into a kind of factsheet of your pilot site. Therefor please try to give clear information and formulate it well, so that it can be used for presenting your pilot site.

6 during the summer 2014 car-pooling with the society CitéLib -To integrate enterprises in mobility actions: to permit to employees to come together by car, by starting their workdays at the same hours. In the same department, the municipality of Saint-Quentin-Fallavier has experimented this solution. -Free touristic buses : in Cagnes-sur-Mer (near Nice in the south of France) a free touristic bus has been created to connect train station with town-centre Are there lessons learned from less successful or failed experiences that could be shared in order to improve forthcoming actions in municipalities with similar conditions? (max. 500 characters) -PART F: TOOLS FOR MOBILITY AND SPATIAL PLANNING Are there any tools/ software products your local authority uses to model effects on land-use and/or transport (e.g. low carbon scenarios) within the process of mobility or spatial planning? Please name them (+ Link and contact Person if available). -EP SCoT RUG : the structure has a tool to follow land use and its evolutions per municipality. It calculates the number of constructions and hectares urbanised since It permits to adapt land use possibilities for the future. Do you make any tools for estimating effects of individual mobility behaviour and/or location choice available to your citizens? Or do you provide any information or links about such tools on your homepage? Please name them (+ Link and contact Person if available). No If you could wish for a (software) tool for sustainable land-use and/or transport decision making, what would it be like? Please name important characteristics, input, output, geographical scale and target groups. No 6
