Abstract

This research is part of a large 5-year national project "Analyses of needs to build up a cycling infrastructure in the Czech Republic" funded by the Ministry of Transport of the Czech Republic. The aim of the entire project is to identify barriers of a further development of cycling as means of transport. The whole project is supposed to provide the public and local and national representatives with information about technical issues of transport safety, comfort and cross-connectivity of cycling tracks. One of its main objectives is to build up a database of existing and planned cycling tracks in the Czech Republic as well as the modal split. Another aim of the project is a socioeconomic analysis of demand for various means of passenger transport and social barriers to the further development of a more sustainable structure of mobility. The results provide not only as a discussion point about motivation of people to use various kinds of transport (including a bicycle) and their potential to switch among various means of transport but also a source of data for a subsequent cost-benefit analysis (CBA) of cycling infrastructure. The sociological survey is conducted as a case study in an urban area, the Czech town of Pilsen. For the covering abstract please see ITRD E135207.
