PROJECT DETAILSNEWS

Research and planning of sustainable mobility and tourism (IPOMIT)

 

 

Project details:
The proposal of the scientific research project Research and planning of sustainable mobility and tourism (IPOMIT) refers to primary research that will be carried out in the scientific field of transport and tourism. The project is divided into four groups of research in which there are studies of road traffic flows and tourist flows using already known methods and new research methods: Research of road traffic flows in urban and non-urban units; Research of income and environmental impact generated by tourists and one-day visitors in individual road traffic; Research on travel and movement of tourists in destinations by analysing big data obtained from telecom operators' databases and Research on the flow of tourist buses (occasional bus transport) in tourist destinations and their impact on environmental pollution.

Scientific activities:
2024 - Research Group I - Research of road traffic flows in urban and non-urban areas; new traffic research will be based on research on development, capacity (throughput) on characteristic and specific traffic infrastructure.
2025 - Research Group II - Research of income and environmental impact generated by tourists and one-day visitors in individual road traffic; The Republic of Croatia can be assigned the auto-destination attribute when it comes to tourist trips that have their destination there.
2026 - Research Group III - Research of travel and movement of tourists in destinations by analysing big data obtained from telecom operators' databases; with this research, in cooperation with the Research and Development (R&D) department of the Ericsson Nikola Tesla research department, big data will be used to monitor and analyse tourist flows in selected tourist destinations.
2027 - Research Group IV - Research on the flow of tourist buses (occasional bus transport) in tourist destinations and their impact on environmental pollution; occasional transportation of one-day visitors and tourists by buses and smaller vehicles (8+1) has a significant share in the transportation of tourists, especially in tourist destinations.

Measurable indicator of project results - the findings of the study on visitor management in occasional passenger transportation in the Old City of Split were presented

The scientists from the Institute of Tourism have conducted a Traffic and Tourism Study on Visitor Management in Occasional Passenger Transportation near the Old City Centre in the City of Split. The study analysed the current state of management and reception of tourist buses and shuttle transportation in the Old City Centre area and provided guidelines and conceptual solutions for optimizing the identified issues.

The final presentation of the study took place at the meeting of the Tourism Council of the Tourist Board of the City of Split, held on April 24, 2024, in Split. The meeting was chaired by Mrs. Miranda Šaban (Port Authority of Split), and in addition to the council members, Deputy Mayor Bojan Ivošević and the heads of the city's municipal and transportation services were present.

The study was presented by the study leader, Prof. Goran Kos, PhD, and Ivo Beroš, PhD.
