Research on cycling environment optimization strategy based on matching of supply and demand:A case study on Xiamen Island
The Non-motorized Traffic System is playing an increasingly important role in contemporary cities.It is not only an important component of the urban transportation network,but also an important standard for measuring whether a city is green,healthy and livable.A well-developed the Non-motorized Traffic System means less carbon emissions,less traffic congestion,healthier citizens,and higher quality public spaces.In this system,the construction of a cycling environment is of utmost importance.In recent years,in the process of urban planning and construction,more and more cities have begun to attach importance to creating a cycling environment,because it can not only alleviate traffic pressure,but also provide citizens with a convenient,comfortable,and safe way of travel.Especially driven by the concept of green health,cycling has become a fashion and trend,attracting more and more citizens to participate.As a representative island city,Xiamen Island's unique geographical environment provides unique conditions for cycling.The beautiful seaside scenery,tree lined streets,and pleasant climate here make cycling one of the preferred ways for citizens to travel.However,with the increase of cycling population,the existing cycling environment is no longer able to meet the needs of citizens,so optimizing and improving the cycling environment has become an urgent problem to be solved.In order to gain a deeper understanding of the current cycling environment and existing problems in Xiamen Island,we conducted a comprehensive analysis using shared bicycle big data and urban land types.Through these data,we can more accurately grasp the cycling needs,habits,and dynamics of citizens.At the same time,by combining urban land types,we can further understand the construction of cycling environments in different regions,thereby providing a basis for optimizing strategies.During the research process,the ArcGIS platform for data processing and analysis is used.Through this platform,it can conveniently conduct spatial analysis and visual display of data,thereby gaining a more intuitive understanding of the spatial differences between cycling environments and citizen needs.In addition,indicators related to cycling in the urban built environment from ten aspects are also evaluated and analyzed,including road width,road surface quality,safety facilities,etc.These indicators provide us with rich data support,enabling us to comprehensively understand the construction of the cycling environment.In addition to analyzing the current situation,we further measured and studied the potential cycling needs of residents.By delving deeper into the big data of shared bicycles,we have found significant differences in the cycling needs of residents in different regions.This not only reflects the travel habits and needs of citizens,but also provides important reference information for urban planners.Based on the above research results,it conducted a supply-demand analysis on the cycling environment of Xiamen Island.Through IPA analysis,Xiamen Island is divided into four types of cycling areas and proposed corresponding optimization strategies based on the characteristics of different areas.These strategies aim to meet the cycling needs of citizens,enhance the convenience,safety,and comfort of cycling.In the process of proposing optimization strategies,the study not only considered the current needs and existing problems,but also fully combined the characteristics and development potential of various cycling areas.For example,for some old urban areas with narrow roads and incomplete facilities,suggestions have been proposed such as optimizing road layout and increasing safety facilities;for some newly built areas,the study advocates for measures such as reasonable planning of greenways and improving bicycle lanes.These suggestions are both in line with practical needs and have operability,hoping to provide useful reference and guidance for the construction of a cycling environment in Xiamen Island.In addition,this article also explores a method for quantifying cycling needs and a system for evaluating the built characteristics of cycling environments.These methods and systems not only help to gain a deeper understanding of the spatial differences in cycling needs and cycling environment construction,but also provide scientific basis for future urban cycling environment construction.Through comparative analysis,it found that the current cycling environment construction on the island does not significantly meet the cycling needs.This provides direction and momentum for subsequent environmental optimization.In summary,this article conducts in-depth research and analysis on the cycling environment of Xiamen Island,aiming to provide useful insights and suggestions for urban managers and planners.In the context of promoting green transportation and healthy lifestyles in cities,more attention should be paid to the construction and optimization of cycling environments.At the same time,the study also call on the general public to actively participate in and support the improvement of urban cycling environment,and jointly create a harmonious,livable,and green urban environment.Only in this way can we truly achieve sustainable urban development and improve the quality of life of residents.
