Mobility

“Mobility is a complex concept as it represents an amalgamation of social and physical aspects.
Mobility from a social perspective may be observed at three levels:

Mobility is the physical movement of people and goods in space,
mobility simultaneously indicates the accessibility of personal options and opportunities to serve human needs in a social sense,
and mobility also describes the position of humans in a symbolic space and, vice versa, social position and lifestyle have an influence on mobility practice.

The physical aspects of the term “mobility” include…

the movability (possibility to move)
and the actual movement of people and objects.”

Integrated planning

“Integrated planning (as opposed to sectoral planning) is a process involving the drawing together of level and sector specific planning efforts which permits strategic decision-making and provides a synoptic view of resources and commitments. Integrated planning acts as a focal point for institutional initiatives and resource allocation. In the context of integrated (or comprehensive) planning, economic, social, ecological and cultural factors are jointly used and combined to guide land- and facility-use decisions towards sustainable territorial development.”
