Zusammenfassung
Due to demographical changes and urbanisation, rural areas often lack sufficient transportation and mobility infrastructure compared to urban regions. As a result, residents feel more socially excluded and need to travel longer distances to access basic goods and services with private car use as the only viable option. This situation is a significant driver of carbon emissions among rural populations. In this paper, we present an e-marketplace system, that aims to help in reducing the number of trips by connecting regional stakeholders and using local resources more efficiently. Our approach focuses on self-organising communities while following high standards of privacy and security. We use cyber-physical contracts within a decentralised network for communication between users and show how this network of services can be represented on a web platform for everyone to access and participate.
