This Issue has been conceived as a result of the 4th International Conference SSPCR - Smart and Sustainable Planning for Cities and Regions 2022 for collecting a series of current research and practical applications performed by academics, young researchers and local associations on the challenges of long-distance walking routes as drivers for regional development from a variety of perspectives.
