The Idea of “FQP Projectability Semicircle” in Determining the Freight Quality Partnership Implementation Potential of the City

摘要

This article focuses on the issue of optimization of urban freight transport, aimed at the widest possible implementation of sustainable development through the prism of identifying determinants of effective functioning of the concept of Freight Quality Partnership (FQP) in Szczecin. The main idea behind the article was, however, to consider those reasons in a unique way, i.e. assign specific ability characteristics to FQP, previously reserved in the literature only for freight transport, i.e. storageability and transportability). The result of such an innovative perspective was the possibility of identifying semantic field and the key dimensions of FQP implementation potential by extracting the term “projectabilty” as a term characterizing the city's potential to implement FQP components, as well as the FQP idea potential towards the individual FQP components. The empirical part of the article presents and discusses the results of the survey conducted on three groups of urban stakeholders. As a result, the idea of “FQP Projectability Semicircle” was formulated that can characterize the potential of each city to use solutions initiated and implemented under the Freight Quality Partnership.
