Overview

This paper examines parking problems in the Rochlice housing estate in Liberec and proposes a method for designing and evaluating corrective interventions. The identified issues include incorrect parking, exhausted parking capacity and restricted passage for emergency services. The approach connects an assessment of current conditions with strategic intervention design and an evaluation methodology aligned with sustainable urban mobility goals. It shows how quantitative evidence, resident feedback and cross-city learning can be combined when addressing parking in dense residential areas.

Research highlights

• The case study begins with a diagnosis of parking availability and undesirable parking behaviour in the Rochlice housing estate.

• The proposed interventions are intended to improve parking efficiency while supporting local mobility needs.

• Evaluation combines in-situ measurements and quantitative analysis of wider traffic impacts.

• Qualitative evidence is collected through public events and interviews with residents.

• Experience shared by other ELABORATOR cities is included as an additional source for intervention design and evaluation.

Practical relevance

The methodology is intended to help Liberec improve parking availability and measure how proposed changes affect traffic in the housing estate. The paper defines the assessment approach and intended outcomes, but the abstract does not report final results from implemented interventions.
