Residents’ acceptance for night deliveries policy in the city of Thessaloniki, Greece

As humanity struggles to absorb the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic, city logistics is one of the transport sectors that has been affected. The restriction measures applied and the regional lockdowns had put significant pressure on the supply chain but also on the last mile delivery. City logistics stand before a crossroad with important challenges lying ahead and difficult decisions to be made. The transformation of the city logistics sector is inevitable as more and more countries join an alliance against climate change. In this framework, the present paper presents an enquiry concerning the residents’ acceptance in the city of Thessaloniki, Greece of the possible implementation of night deliveries. A questionnaire-based survey was conducted and the analysis of the collected data is presented revealing that the residents are aware of night deliveries’ occurring problems as well as their willingness to accept the implementation of such policy if all necessary precautions and measures are applied.
