Sustainable Mobility for Island Destinations
Sustainable Mobility for Island Destinations, authored by Theocharis Tsoutsos, examines the concept of sustainable mobility within island destinations, which possess distinctive geographical, environmental, social, and economic characteristics. The book addresses major transportation challenges faced by islands, including dependence on motorized vehicles, increasing tourist mobility, limited transportation infrastructure, energy consumption, and the environmental impacts of transportation activities. Through a multidisciplinary perspective, the book explores strategies and approaches for developing sustainable mobility systems that can accommodate both tourists and local communities. Particular attention is given to low-carbon transportation, energy efficiency, transportation integration, and mobility planning as essential components of sustainable island development. The book emphasizes that transportation planning in island destinations cannot be separated from sustainable tourism development and environmental protection. Overall, the work provides insights into how mobility systems can be designed and managed to reduce environmental impacts while supporting the social and economic development of island destinations.
