POTŘEBY A PRIORITY SAMOSPRÁV V UDRŽITELNÉ MOBILITĚ A FAKTORY SPOLUPRÁCE NA VÝZKUMNÝCH PROJEKTECH

In the context of climate change, urbanisation and European climate neutrality goals, strategic urban development and sustainable mobility are gaining importance. The paper aims to provide an initial empirical insight into the needs and priorities of Czech and Slovak municipalities in sustainable mobility and to identify factors influencing their interest in cooperation on related projects. The quantitative research results show that parking management, public attitudes, and political will are perceived as main challenges in the transition to sustainability, with political support for sustainable mobility varying significantly across cities. While many municipalities consider themselves well-prepared for international cooperation, they face limitations such as staff shortages, administrative burdens, and language barriers. There is particular interest in collaboration on parking policy, data-driven decision-making, and cycling infrastructure. The findings provide a basis for future initiatives targeting more effective implementation of sustainable mobility measures and identifying mechanisms for better coordination and support of local governments.
