Parking shortages increasingly constrain medium-sized post-socialist cities, yet empirical evidence on stationary traffic is scarce. This case study of Goražde (Bosnia and Herzegovina) inventories and GIS-maps parking supply measures weekday occupancy, surveys residents’ perceptions, and proposes a three-zone parking management scheme. Methods combined a field inventory with GIS mapping, hourly manual counts on 1 June 2023 (8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.) at 11 lots (349 spots), and an online household survey (1–17 June 2023; n=103). Peak network occupancy reached 86.2%, and hotspot sites exceeded nominal capacity (up to 110%). The study provides a replicable baseline for monitoring and policy design in similar medium-sized cities.
