Increasing motorization in urban and rural areas has given rise to many adverse effects such as emissions of greenhouse gases, requirement on fossil fuels, pollution, and congestion which directly or indirectly affects human health. Bicycle, being a non-motorised mode can play a vital role in reducing some of the mentioned hazards. Perceptions and attitudes related to a mode play a significant role in mode choice behaviour. This study contributes in understanding the effects of parameters such as built environment, socio-economic factors, and individual travel attitudes on bicycle user behavior. VMT (Vehicle mile travel) for shopping trips, attitude related data, and socio-demographic parameters were collected for two distinct groups of people in three different areas of varying mixed land use. Land use diversity was quantified by entropy index in the study. The detailed analysis of this study reveals the psychological and socio-economic characteristics of bicycle users and non-user groups in low, medium, and highly mixed land use areas. From the elasticity estimates, it has been observed that for both groups, a slight change in the income and trip length has a significant impact on the latent variables and the travel behaviour. Residents living in urban areas have high social non-acceptance of bicycle use compared to suburban areas. Attitude measured using pro-bicycle parameter as a latent variable was found to be positive, and this parameter is one of the primary reasons for which the individuals still continue to use a bicycle. Apart from mix land use parameters and construction of bicycling facilities/infrastructures, this study also suggests policymakers to give more importance in creating positive perceptions related to bicycle mode among individuals and to improve various facilities and work opportunities in low and medium land use mix areas.

态度对自行车使用者和非使用者的影响:以印度阿加尔塔拉市为例

城市和农村地区日益增加的机动化已经产生了许多不利影响,例如温室气体排放、对化石燃料的需求、污染和直接或间接影响人类健康的交通拥堵。自行车作为一种非机动模式,可以在减少上述某些危险方面发挥重要作用。与模式相关的认知和态度在模式选择行为中起着重要作用。本研究有助于了解建筑环境、社会经济因素和个人出行态度等参数对自行车用户行为的影响。收集了三个不同混合土地使用地区的两组不同人群的购物旅行、态度相关数据和社会人口参数的 VMT(车辆英里旅行)。土地利用多样性在研究中通过熵指数量化。本研究的详细分析揭示了低、中和高度混合土地利用区域的自行车使用者和非使用者群体的心理和社会经济特征。从弹性估计中可以看出,对于这两个群体,收入和旅行长度的微小变化都会对潜在变量和旅行行为产生重大影响。与郊区相比,居住在城市地区的居民对自行车使用的社会不接受程度较高。使用亲自行车参数作为潜在变量测量的态度被发现是积极的,这个参数是个人仍然继续使用自行车的主要原因之一。除了混合土地使用参数和建设自行车设施/基础设施,
