Abstract

Background: The achievement of sustainable development in whose shadow, social welfare and economic development would appear, requires the creation of appropriate infrastructures which transportation network is one of the most important and efficient ones; therefore, sustainable transport strategy can be considered as one of the most significant issues in the field of sustainable development. Hence, considering approaches which lead transportation to environmental, economic and social sustainability seems necessary, which is one of the transport integration approaches. In this regard, Kerman province has not reached its real status owing to the lack of proper planning in the transportation sector. Consequently, there is a need to predispose the context to provide proper planning and change the existing planning style.
Objectives: The current paper, which is exploratory-descriptive-prescriptive aims to prepare and assess the strategies of Regional Transport Integrated Development in Kerman province.
Methodology: Through using the documentary method, therequired information is gathered by referring to the existing texts, textbooks, documents, papers. Also, field methods such as questionnaires and interview are used to complete the data. The statistical society is Kerman province transportation experts, planners and managers who some of them were interviewed as sample society. The current study provides some strategies using the Delphi model and SWOT technique to improve the current conditions of region transportation integrity. Then, strategies are prioritized using the Network Analysis process (ANP).
Results: Results indicate that Proactive Strategies are well-suited for Kerman province. Therefore, Proactive strategies were analyzed using ANP model, and their final priority indicates that Organizational-managerial integration is more significant than other integrations.
Conclusion: Indeed, management integrity has made it an integral part of decision making, and it predisposes the context to the realization of other types of integration in the transportation sector.

Highlights

The current research differs from its kind owing to studying integrated transport at the regional level and using strategic planning considered as one of the most significant methods and approaches in regional and city planning.
