This article presents a range of potential adaptations and innovations and aims at informing about
the future transport systems in the rangelands according to different factors of demographic,
economic, climatic, and technological changes by 2050 (Table 1).
Adaptation strategies cover a range of technological, behavioural and operational dimensions.
While locally, more services will be delivered remotely via cost-effective advanced
telecommunication systems opening new opportunities for managing community development
projects and increasing economic participation, transport systems will still need to adapt to new
types of challenges such as a pressure on resources, a more mobile aging population and more
frequent extreme climatic events (Zander, Taylor et al. 2012; Memmott . . . . .
