In recent years, the digitalization of planning processes has accelerated, partly due to the substantial investments made available to EU countries to achieve the sustainability, equality, and territorial cohesion goals set for 2030 and 2050. While a positive relationship between regional and economic development and accessibility to the transport network has been demonstrated, numerous EU-funded projects also aim to identify further connections between the hard infrastructure framework and socio-economic and environmental conditions at the regional scale. To achieve these objectives and to automate processes capable of generating indicators and digital models that can support mobility planning, the accessibility and availability of validatable and georeferenced data are essential. This article, therefore, presents evidence of the structural limitations encountered during the initial phases of the MAC4TI project, which aims to develop a GIS environment capable of integrating infrastructure and transport data with information on accessibility and mobility across Italy. In conclusion, the findings demonstrate that both the quantity and quality of data are fundamental conditions for the success of similar projects. However, to effectively support policymakers and activate participatory planning processes, interventions are needed in the digital infrastructure, which currently lacks consistency in data availability and spatial localization capabilities.

摘要

In recent years, the digitalization of planning processes has accelerated, partly due to the substantial investments made available to EU countries to achieve the sustainability, equality, and territorial cohesion goals set for 2030 and 2050. While a positive relationship between regional and economic development and accessibility to the transport network has been demonstrated, numerous EU-funded projects also aim to identify further connections between the hard infrastructure framework and socio-economic and environmental conditions at the regional scale. To achieve these objectives and to automate processes capable of generating indicators and digital models that can support mobility planning, the accessibility and availability of validatable and georeferenced data are essential. This article, therefore, presents evidence of the structural limitations encountered during the initial phases of the MAC4TI project, which aims to develop a GIS environment capable of integrating infrastructure and transport data with information on accessibility and mobility across Italy. In conclusion, the findings demonstrate that both the quantity and quality of data are fundamental conditions for the success of similar projects. However, to effectively support policymakers and activate participatory planning processes, interventions are needed in the digital infrastructure, which currently lacks consistency in data availability and spatial localization capabilities.
