Abstract

The rapid increase of motor vehicles and car ownership rates in urban areas have lead to serious concerns such as increasing traffic congestion and air pollution. Several social, economic, environmental and physical consequences can be observed in Iranian today›s big cities due to paying non-significant attention to sustainable transport. Metropolitan ISFAHAN now is challenged with heavy air pollution, traffic noise and environmental degradation which make the whole region unsustainable in the longer term. Bicycle is one of most environment friendly mode which is suitable for this metropolitan area because of proper climate and topography conditions. ISFAHAN Municipality administration has established some 18 bicycle hiring stations recently throughout metropolitan area. This paper investigates the success and failure of this plan through a questionnaire field survey. The survey conducted in summer this year by asking bicycle riders to fill in the questionnaire (n=220). Using statistical analyses including bivariate correlation and binary LOGIT REGRESSION, it was found that a mix of physical and socio-economical factors affect the use of bicycles. The current bicycle system is mostly used for recreational purpose rather than for a regular travel for varied necessary purposes. Furthermore, the overall evaluation of the users of the system is positive. The paper ended with giving some policy directions to improve bicycle facilities and standards to achieve higher share of bicycle use in ISFAHAN.
