Abstract
This work aims to analyze the impact of technological eco-innovation on the modernization and development of a local area. The role of eco-innovation would be to stimulate an innovative environment and spur a development of the territory and economic districts, and the diffusion of said particularities among wider geographic contexts, hence allowing a globalization model more observant of local specificities, and thus an open system able to develop economic and cultural exchange respecting local particularities. In recent years, smart city has asserted itself as a general model for the city of tomorrow, and sustainability has become a focal point in urban development policies. In this paper, we investigate how an integrated and intermodal methodology for the development of smart mobility systems—the European project “Life for Silver Coast”—is impacting the modernization and development of an Italian coastal area in Tuscany. The main focus of our paper is to understand how an integrated mobility network allows a transition toward a sustainable form of social relationship and a new economic pattern and could represent the starting point for a spatial, relational and institutional reorganization process that would lead to a change in the production and management dynamics of the local ecosystem concerning cultural, social and economic issues.
Highlights
Given the huge amount of scientific literature available on the topic of sustainable tourism, with more than five thousand references indexed only on Scopus, we decided to apply a bibliometric approach to our analysis, given its ability to process large amounts of data in order to highlight statistics and trends in the domain to be reviewed, enabling us to understand the development of the field and its emerging areas
To the development field of sustainable tourism, we have the evaluated the cothe study development of the fieldofofthe sustainable tourism, we have evaluated co-occurrence occurrence of authorinkeywords in our database, Figure 1 in chronological of author keywords our database, presented in presented
The methodological vision goes in the sense of the considered approach as a paradigm of participation, social and economic integration, and legitimacy of governance. This type of approach aims to improve the sustainability of the system by reducing the environmental impact toward new lifestyles and sustainable tourism
Summary
Cities have always been privileged places of experimentation and economic, social and technological innovation. Various authors have emphasized the importance of a well-functioning sustainable mobility scheme in the alternative tourism industry, and a large body of literature has identified it as a function responding to market demand and competitive constraints (Waligo et al 2013; Lee et al 2011) At both the global and micro levels, a well-functioning mobility system outperforms factors such as infrastructure and facility availability in determining travel destinations (Hallegatte et al 2019). We propose an integrated methodology for urban mobility, touristic mobility, based on innovative approaches to urban public transportation, to develop a sustainable mobility network and implement integrated and comprehensive policies for environmentally sustainable urban planning It would be achievable through the research and development of coordinated and integrated solutions that can rejuvenate local systems while balancing economic, social and environmental concerns to transform the city’s complexity into an efficient urban system (Girard 2014; Mattoni et al 2015).
