- Abstract
- Research question: What are the prerequisites and influential factors that determine an inclusive planning and implementation process of Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans (SUMPs)?
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to provide a more holistic understanding of SUMPs. Therefore, the aim is to explore the prerequisites and influential factors that determine the inclusive planning and implementation of SUMPs.
Methodology: To fulfill the purpose of this thesis a qualitative research study was conducted, utilizing an abductive methodology. Specifically, an embedded case study was pursued through executing 15 interviews with SUM experts and participation specialists, as well as community members, all located in Helsinki, Finland.

Methodology: To fulfill the purpose of this thesis a qualitative research study was conducted, utilizing an abductive methodology. Specifically, an embedded case study was pursued through executing 15 interviews with SUM experts and participation specialists, as well as community members, all located in Helsinki, Finland.
Theoretical perspectives: This study’s theoretical foundation and its preliminary framework are based on theories on stakeholder management, governance, social inclusion, SUM, and SUMPs.
Results and Conclusion: Findings demonstrate a clear interconnection between the prerequisites and influential factors, justifying their integration into a single category. Consequently, this study identifies 10 factors, with their respective challenges, that influence the planning and implementation of inclusive SUMPs. The final developed framework deepens the understanding on social sustainability in SUMPs, inclusive SUMP practices, governance, and stakeholder management in public entities. Furthermore, the study provides practical guidance for cities in designing inclusive SUMPs by emphasizing the importance of starting conditions, helping decision-makers in coordinating efforts and addressing potential implementation challenges.
