1st Webinar Poll 48% θεωρούν ότι οι εκλογές θα έχουν ουδέτερη έως θετική επίδραση στα ΣΒΑΚ 40% θεωρούν ότι οι εκλογές θα έχουν κάποια αρνητική επίπτωση στα ΣΒΑΚ

1st Webinar Poll Need for SM focused Coordination Participation Communication SM focused Η εξειδίκευση στην ΒΚ, ο συντονισμός και η επικοινωνία μαζί με τον συμμετοχικό σχεδιασμό αναγνωρίζονται ως μεγαλύτερα κενά. Δεν είναι η συλλογή στοιχείων το πρόβλημά τους.

1st Webinar Poll Εκπαίδευση, Χρηματοδότηση και περισσότερο προσωπικό είναι οι βασικές ανάγκες. Αναγνωρίζουν, όμως, και την ανάγκη για διεπιστημονικότητα και έμφαση στην επικοινωνία και την διαβούλευση, και το γεγονός ότι ο Δήμοι έχουν κενά σε αυτούς τους τομείς. Δεν είναι ο τεχνολογικός εξοπλισμός το πρόβλημά τους.

1st Webinar Poll MC-1A SUM 100 Η διαβούλευση και η συμμετοχή κερδίζουν την μάχη, όταν λείπουν οι πόροι. Ωστόσο, περίπου οι μισοί (48%) παρασύρονται από τις υπόλοιπες επιλογές. Η συντριπτική πλειονότητα προσδοκά την αναβάθμιση του Δημόσιου Χώρου μέσα από το ΣΒΑΚ, τον περιορισμό του ΙΧ, την αναβάθμιση της Δημόσιας Συγκοινωνίας και την αύξηση της προσβασιμότητας μέσω των ήπιων μέσων μεταφοράς

1st Webinar Poll Impact 40%: negative impact 40%: no impact 40% θεωρούν ότι οι εκλογές θα έχουν ουδέτερη στο ΣΒΑΚ Μόνο 8% θεωρούν ότι θα έχει θετική επίδραση στα ΣΒΑΚ 40% θεωρούν ότι οι εκλογές θα έχουν κάποια αρνητική επίπτωση στα ΣΒΑΚ Impact 40%: negative impact 40%: no impact 8%: positive impact

Greek SUMP challenges There is a NEED for: Coordination and cooperation among the ministries and other governance and control levels — seeking for a leader or a clear distribution of roles Capacity building among the employees of public and private sector Clear and updated legislation framework — bureaucracy kills SUMPs! Funding opportunities for the implementation of SUMP measures Different levels of flexibility on how each city is allowed to elaborate its own SUMP (flexibility on budget use, commitment to ELTIS guidelines’ context and process)
