Abstract [sv]

Studien visar att ett tvärvetenskapligt angreppssätt kan ge ett större djup i förståelsen för de komplexa samband som är aktuella vid planering av transportinfrastruktur. Redan vid planeringen framkom att de olika disciplinerna har olika behov vad gäller förberedelsetid för planering, mätutrustning och mätplatser, vilket tydliggjorde att stort behov av tid och kommunikation inom forskargruppen. Pilotstudiens resultat visade att de som valde cykelbanan inne i parken hade upplevelsen av grönskan, välbefinnande, och mindre stress större betydelse. Den yttre cykelbana betraktades som ”autostradan”, den var snabbare, utan gående och med få avbrott. De delar av hälsan som handlar om upplevelser av grönska och mental balans tycks prioriteras av färre cyklister. Risker för exponering av luftföroreningar och buller tycktes inte vara stor och övervägde inte snabbhet och framkomlighet för de flesta. Det behövs vägval för cyklister som ger en mindre exponering för luftföreningar och buller samt att vidare studera de variabler som påverkar valet i den aktuella situationen. Denna pilotstudie visar dock att det finns goda möjligheter att förbättra den positiva hälsoeffekten genom att utforma miljön kring cykelvägarna så att mental hälsa och balans samt exponering för miljörisker minimeras. För att få med de många faktorer som påverkar cyklisters val av färdväg samt planläggning av infrastruktur för cyklister behövs tvärvetenskapliga studieupplägg.

Abstract [en]

This pre study shows that interdisciplinary approaches can provide a much greater depth in understanding the complex relationships that are present when planning transport infrastructure. Already during the planning, it emerged that the different disciplines have different needs in terms of preparation time for planning, measuring equipment and measuring sites, which made it clear that there is a great need for time and communication within the research group. The pilot study results showed that those who chose the bicycle path inside the park, the experience of greenery, well-being, and less stress was of larger importance. The outer bicycle path was regarded as the "highway", it was faster, without pedestrians and with few disturbances. The parts of the health that are focused on experiences of greenery and mental balance seem prioritized by fewer as well as risks of exposure to air pollution and noise. This pilot study demonstrates that the air pollutions and noise differ between different cycle paths, but that the choice of path by the cyclists is made based on other factors. There is a need for route choices for cyclists who provide less exposure to air compounds and noise, as well as to further study the variables that affect the choice in the current situation. There are good opportunities to improve the positive health effect by designing the environment around the cycle paths so that mental health and balance as well as air pollution levels and noise levels are minimized. In order to succeed, interdisciplinary studies are needed to approach the complex requirements that are involved in designing bicycle infrastructure.
