与世界上许多其他城市一样，奥克兰几十年来一直是一个以汽车为基础的城市，汽车模式的份额几乎达到80%。推广使用主动交通工具，包括步行和骑自行车，无疑是交通规划中应考虑的关键策略之一。为了帮助奥克兰转变为自行车友好型城市，我们的第一步是确定骑自行车的动机和威慑因素。这项研究包括两个部分。我们首先对从国际经验中吸取的教训进行了全面的文献审查，重点是哪些因素被发现对决定使用自行车作为一种交通工具具有重大影响。根据调查结果，我们设计了一项基于网络的调查，以确定影响骑车或不骑自行车通勤决定的因素，以及骑自行车者和潜在骑自行车者的路线选择标准。作为个案研究，我们在奥克兰大学进行了一项试点调查，调查结果与我们从文献综述中得出的结论是一致的。我们的结论是，在鼓励骑自行车方面，奥克兰缺少五个主要因素，即：(1)安全；(2)连接良好的自行车道网络；(3)便利；(4)不鼓励汽车使用的政策；以及(5)与自行车设施相结合的良好公共交通系统。
Like many other cities in the world, Auckland has been very much a car-based city for decades, with a car modal share of almost 80%. Promoting the use of active modes, including walking and cycling, is no doubt one of the key strategies that should be considered in transport planning. To help transform Auckland into a bicycle-friendly city, our first step is to determine the motivators and deterrents to cycling. This study has two components. We first performed a comprehensive literature review of the lessons learnt from international experience, focussing on what factors were found to have significant influence on the decision to use bicycles as a mode of transport. Based on the findings, we designed a web-based survey to identify the factors influencing the decision to commute by bicycle or not, as well as cyclists' and potential cyclists' route choice criteria. A pilot survey was conducted at the University of Auckland as a case study and the survey results were consistent with our findings from the literature review. We conclude that there are five main factors missing in Auckland in terms of encouraging cycling, namely: (1) safety; (2) a well-connected network of cycleways; (3) convenience; (4) policies to discourage car use; and (5) a good public transportation system integrated with cycling facilities.
