Accessibility plays a major role in achieving sustainable transport, and therefore urban and regional sustainability. The urban public transport system promotes mobility and realizes a large part of urban movements. Moreover, improving accessibility in order to promote sustainable transport requires the application of new concepts and indicators as a powerful tool in the process of creating a balanced urban transport system. In this regard, one of the main goals of this research is to present an overview of the relevant accessibility indicators and assessment of accessibility in regional Cross-Border Cooperation (CBC) in order to transcendence challenges and obstacles for sustainable transportation in these regions along of Portuguese-Spanish border. This paper focuses on the accessibility of cross-border cooperation scenarios along the border regions of Alto Alentejo (Portugal) and Badajoz (Spain) where the Case Study Research Method (CSR) made it possible to recognize accessibility as a key factor in territorial success. Also, accessibility analysis can assess improvements as well as regional imbalances. In addition, this methodology can be used to identify missing links, which requires new investments enabling long-term sustainability.

“…How can we define the socio-demographic dimensions that are relevant to user choices concerning H&EVs? Location plays a role, either with regard to the country of residence or the type of urbanization (urban or rural, central or peripheral) [3]. The adoption of electric vehicles has been shown to depend on a combination of psychological and socio-economic factors expressed as consumer attitudes, environmental attitudes and awareness, symbolism and self-identity, diffusion of innovation, and emotional responses [4].…”

This paper explores the factors affecting the uptake of hybrid and electric vehicles in the European Union (EU) using data from two extensive cross-sectional surveys. Each survey consists of 26,500 responses to a questionnaire that combines socio-economic and behavioral aspects. The share of respondents across the EU stating that they would certainly or probably consider purchasing a hybrid or a battery-powered electric vehicle (H&EV) in the near future rose from 32% in 2014 to 37.4% in 2018. There is, however, a high variability among EU member states, as well as across different socio-economic groups. Propensity is highly correlated with income, educational attainment, and urbanization level. In order to address the high degree of collinearity, we applied a machine learning classification model to analyze and explain the interaction between the variables that affected the expressed propensity to purchase such a vehicle. The findings highlight something largely missing from the literature, namely that local conditions and regional variation are a major, if not decisive, factor regarding purchasing choices. Seen from a policy perspective, this conclusion may provide guidance regarding how to support the take up of H&EVs through measures that are tailored to the specific needs at the local level.

“…Researchers dealing with the issue of consumer attitudes emphasize that the importance of research on consumer behavior for the development of a particular market can be considered from several different perspectives (Kotler, 2010;Edvardsson et al, 2013;Christodoulou and Christidis, 2019). From the cognitive and scientific point of view -the issue of consumer behavior is a relatively wide, dynamically changing field of socio-economic life, requiring constant deepening and verification of knowledge in this area (development plans and strategies).…”

“…Researchers agree that the growing mobility needs of people, coupled with the frequent use of private vehicles, are the main causes of serious socio-environmental problems (Christodoulou and Christidis, 2019;Hosseinzadeh-Bandbafha et al, 2018;Profillidis and Botzoris, 2019). Many authors (Jorgensen, 2019;Tsakalidis, and Thiel, 2018) emphasize that the solution to this problem may be electric vehicles -EV type.…”

Purpose: The article presents selected research results concerning the Polish path of electromobility development. The subject of the research was to gain extensive knowledge about contemporary consumer attitudes. This goal was achieved by trying to identify the most important factors determining the choice of electric vehicles by the demand side in the Polish automotive market. Approach / Methodology / Design: CAWI techniques were used in the study. The study was conducted at the turn of 2020 and 2020. The research sample included 1,000 respondentscurrent owners of conventional fuel vehicles. Conclusions: Increasing the share in the electric vehicle market is one of the pillars of the electromobility development program in Poland. The authors emphasize the essence of the relationship between consumers' attitudes towards electric vehicles and the willingness to buy them and continue to use them. Practical implications: The study shows that the knowledge of consumer attitudes plays an important role in the development program electromobility in Poland. By verifying opinions about electric vehicles among their potential buyers. Originality/Value: The survey attempts to fill a gap in the literature on the subject. An experimental research approach may clarify the essence of the relationship between the development of electromobility and the attitude of consumers.
