SMARTA-NET Tools

SMARTA-NET will produce the following practical tools:

Self-Check on sustainable tourist mobility for rural regions

To help rural places to gain knowledge and a realistic overview of the characteristics and the tourist mobility in their own region, our partner NIT has developed a self-check tool on sustainable tourist mobility for rural regions. Analysing the situation in your own area will help you to move forward on the way to a more sustainable tourism mobility – because it is easier to head in the right direction, if you know where you come from. 

Knowledge maps

Our partner TIS prepared knowledge maps consisting of interactive visual models that assist users in accessing a range of information required for planning rural mobility. The maps allows us to identify the extent to which the rural mobility dimension could be integrated into SUMP design through benchmarking different SUMP implementations across Europe. This benchmarking provides insights about the way interconnections between cities and countryside were addressed in different local contexts.

Checklists on sustainable tourist mobility

The following set of five checklists on sustainable tourist mobility were developed by the Federal Ministry of Climate Action, Environment, Energy, Mobility, Innovation and Technology of the Republic of Austria. In order to make the checklists accessible to tourism and mobility stakeholders in rural communities in other countries, they were translated into English during the SMARTA-NET project and slightly supplemented to also meet the needs of coastal regions. We recommend to use the checklists together with the “Guidance on Sustainable Mobility in rural tourism communities
