Abstract

Sustainable development, urban planning, mobility, and transport planning, integrated within the context of sustainable urban mobility, have been central themes in both scientific and applied spheres over the past few decades. In port cities, it becomes particularly essential to tackle sustainability issues given the pollution and noise emanating from ships and other port-related activities. To meet mobility and transportation sustainability needs in the port area, a port should implement measures aligned with a sustainable urban mobility planning (SUMP) approach. However, many ports have thus far achieved limited results in this direction due to the absence of an approach to defining sustainable mobility solutions based on the SUMP approach for an urban area associated with the given port. The overall aim of this paper is to support the development of territorial SUMP for port areas by proposing a methodology that identifies and prioritizes sustainable mobility solutions tailored to a specific port area. The proposed methodology is applied in the Port of Bar (Montenegro) through an appropriate case study. In this case study, the methodological steps are systematically followed, resulting in the practical implementation of the selected mobility solution: the use of a hybrid bus for internal employee transportation within the port area. The undertaken case study underscores the simplicity, practical applicability, and adaptability of the proposed methodology.
