13 Main differences between SUMP and SIMP

14 Main differences between SUMP & SIMP Urban (SUMP) methodology Island (SIMP) General Vision Area Population Needs for Infrastructure Gates/External Connections Car-free city Urban Suburban Satellites Residents + Tourists Heavy with fixed use numerous Car-free tourism Whole island more islands Urban areas? Residents + Tourists Light and flexible limited

15 Main differences between SUMP & SIMP Urban (SUMP) focus Island (SIMP) Trips Car Public Transport Rail Maritime Transport Home to work Massive use. Need for permanent solutions Need for heavy, massive and stable PT Existing or possible Not very critical Ports only in coastal cities Leisure Need for flexible solutions (high VS low season) Need for light, personalized (on demand) and flexible PT Not possible Very important and always existing

16 Main differences between SUMP & SIMP Urban (SUMP) focus Island (SIMP) Walking at non urban areas Cycling Energy Participation Engagement Innovation Leisure. Not critical Mainly in the urban area Always integrated with the National Energy Network (On-Grid) Mainly residents Difficult, slow and costly development of innovative ideas Very important touristic activity. Always existing Mainly out of the urban area Not always integrated. Possible Off-Grid solutions Residents + Tourists Lighter, quicker, cheaper development of innovative ideas

17 Is SIMP affecting the SUMP guidelines? Key actors & stakeholders: different 2 seasons for: analyzing, visioning, monitoring Involvement: Residents & Tourists (1-time/ regulars/ house owners) use of different tools & strategies different interests Analysis: focus on data of different nature analyse for 2 seasons, simplicity in traffic but complexity on geospatial characteristics Planning complexity: vulnerable ecosystems, landscape Car is not the problem during off peak season, but accessibility instead Vision, goals & measures need to be tailored & to focus on flexibility, shared-mobility Different indicators than usual Monitoring is challenging due to the lack of municipal human resources

18 Sifnos SIMP The first SIMP in Europe
