Transferability of urban freight transport measures: A case study of Cariacica (Brazil)

Abstract

This paper presents a case study describing a transferability case study in Cariacica (Brazil), identifying various urban freight planning measures from other parts of the world that might be implemented in Cariacica. The case study developed a light transferability approach, which uses a low level of expert input and data requirements, and is thus appropriate for cities with highly limited financial resources. The case study focussed upon regulatory measures that are under the control of the local authority, and also identified possible barriers and facilitators for their implementation. It was generally considered that the 'light' transferability approach had been successful and could be used in many other 'smaller' cities. The paper provides insights both for research and transport planning practice (on identifying barriers, and hence solutions, for the successful implementation of urban freight transport measures). Furthermore, the paper provides a number of reflections about the transfer process, paying particular attention to the precise objectives of such exercises and the roles of transfer agents. Finally, conclusions are given which make a further justification of using a 'light' approach for policy transfer exercises in the context of the complexity of the urban freight transport system (further 'complexified' by transferability issues).

The Governmental Perspective in the Urban Mobility Plan-Making: The Case of Peripheral Municipalities of the Rio De Janeiro Metropolitan Area

“…The first is that Europe has extensive know-how in sustainable urban mobility planning. Secondly, it is in the interest of identifying the main differences between two scenarios, Brazilian and European, and identifying possible opportunities for policy-transfer based on studies such as Bray, Taylor, Scrafton (2011); Macário and Marques (2008); Marsden and Stead (2011); O'Dolan and Rye 2012; Timms (2014) and Wang (2010). Due to the extent and scope of a survey of this type, the questionnaire was applied to a small and restricted group of participants selected from entities directly related to the elaboration and implementation of these plans (municipal, metropolitan and federal public bodies).…”

Identification of the Regional and Economic Contexts of Sustainable Urban Logistics Policies

“…In general, the transport domain is showing a growing interest in theory and practice [21]. City-to-city policy transfer is an active process but, according to Marsden et al [22], not enough is known about its benefits or the conditions for success.…”

“…Successful transfer to the target city depends strongly on an accurate understanding of the favoring contexts. Although there has been mention of policy transfer in the urban logistics literature [21], to our knowledge there has been no thorough review of existing literature on the issue. The aim of this study was to analyze the contexts of urban logistics measures or policies worldwide and to assess their significance for policy transferability.…”
