“…It can therefore be concluded that the lockdown, which was very noticeable to citizens during the first wave of COVID-19, caused a slight fluctuation in air quality, which had no consequences both throughout 2020 and over next years. This conclusion is important for local authorities, who have the task of introducing actions to improve the quality of inhabitants' lives [49,50] by, inter alia, improving the quality of the air inhabitants breathe. The conducted analysis shows that the actions aimed at limiting vehicle traffic must be long-term in order to be able to expect a lasting improvement in air quality.…”

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there are series of negative economic consequences, however, in limiting mobility and reducing the number of vehicles, positive effects can also be observed, i.e., improvement of air quality. The paper presents an analysis of air quality measured by concentrations of NO2, NOx and PM2.5 during the most restrictive lockdown from 10 March to 31 May 2020 on the case of Wrocław. The results were compared with the reference period—2016–2019. A significant reduction in traffic volume was identified, on average by 26.3%. The greatest reduction in the concentration of NO2 and NOx was recorded at the station farthest from the city center, characterized by the lowest concentrations: 20.1% and 22.4%. Lower reduction in the average concentrations of NO2 and NOx was recorded at the municipal station (7.9% and 7.7%) and the communication station (6.7% and 10.2%). Concentrations of PMs in 2020 were on average 15% and 13.4% lower than in the reference period for the traffic station and the background station. The long-term impact of the lockdown on air quality was also examined. The analysis of the concentrations of the pollutants throughout 2020, and in the analyzed period of 2021, indicated that the reduction of concentrations and the improvement in air quality caused by the restrictions should be considered as a temporary anomaly, without affecting long-term changes and trends.

“…Recent literature has emphasized the role of technology and computer software tools in addressing these urban challenges. For instance, Leśniewski et al [19] highlight the importance of computer software tools (CS tools V2) in managing industrial symbiotic networks (ISNs), which involve multidimensional networks that operate as dynamic complex networks crossing natural, technical, social, and computer systems boundaries. They underline the benefits of using CS tools to enhance value and reduce financial and environmental costs by sharing services, utilities, or by-products/waste among stakeholders in ISNs.…”

The development of sustainable smart cities (SSCs) is pivotal for contemporary urban expansion, as highlighted by numerous international frameworks and scholarly studies. This study focused on Saudi Arabia to identify and assess the key challenges impeding the evolution of intelligent and sustainable urban environments. By categorizing and hierarchically analyzing these impediments, the research isolates the most significant barriers to SSC advancement. A total of 18 obstacles were identified, organized into four categories, and reviewed using existing scholarly literature. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with stakeholders engaged in executing SSC initiatives, enriching the research from a practical perspective. Additionally, a survey ranked these barriers, revealing that social and economic factors pose the most significant challenges, followed by governance and legal, technology, and environment. The findings of this study offer critical insights for policymakers and governments to mitigate the barriers to SSC development efforts.

“…Service network integration includes schedule integration, route and route integration, infrastructure network integration in the form of physical integration, namely the integrated infrastructure for several modes located in one building node. The integration of service networks and transportation infrastructure in the implementation of effective and efficient intermodal / multimodal transportation is realized in the form of interconnection at the transportation node which functions as a meeting point that facilitates switching modes (intermodal terminals) [1], [2], [5], [8], [23] and [24].…”

Transportation integration is the integration of air, rail and land transportation modes with the aim of improving transportation performance more efficiently and effectively. The development of transit areas is important in order to realize a sustainable transportation system. Isimu Terminal in Gorontalo Province is a gateway to access to various modes of mass public transportation that serve inter and intra-provincial transportation. This research aims to evaluate the existing conditions of the Isimu terminal based on the evolution of the implementation of transit area development according to the categories: seamless mobility, sustainable neighborhood and optimum growth. This research is qualitative deductive. Primary data was obtained through in-depth interviews with station users and direct observation. Secondary data is obtained through institutional surveys to relevant parties. The result the integration of services between Djalaludin airport and Isimu terminal does not seem to be optimally connected and the loading and unloading of goods outside the terminal is visible. However, this area has the prospect of functioning as an intermodal connectivity node with the planned infrastructure development of the train station, Djalaludin airport, and Isimu terminal, and as further suggestions this area can be developed into an integrated transit area and transhipment node.
