Abstract [en]

Walking and cycling are considered sustainable transport modes, promoted as a means to reduce car traffic. In the scientific literature, they have mostly been investigated separately, but should be considered jointly to enable a modal shift. Both daytime and dark conditions need to be studied, to improve understanding of how environmental features are affected by temporal variation. A conceptual model is introduced to advance understanding of the significance of different environmental factors for walking/cycling, and serves as the basis for the design of an empirical study. A between-subject design was used, comparing two pedestrian/cycle paths located in two mid-sized Swedish cities during daytime and after dark. Pedestrians (n = 90) and cyclists (n = 74) responded to questionnaires assessing environmental parameters hypothesized to be of importance for walking and cycling. Three-factor ANOVAs indicated differences between the two locations (perceived stimuli), between pedestrians and cyclists (environmental appraisal, affective response, behavioural intention) and between daytime and dark conditions (visual accessibility, restorative potential). The conceptual model helps identify the importance of various environmental features.  

Abstract [es]

Los desplazamientos a pie y en bicicleta se consideran modos de transporte sostenibles, propuestos como forma de reducir el tráfico de automóviles. En la literatura científica, en su mayoría se han investigado por separado, pero para posibilitar un cambio modal deberían considerarse conjuntamente. Para comprender mejor cómo afectan las variaciones temporales a las características del ambiente, es preciso estudiar las condiciones tanto diurnas como nocturnas. Se presenta un modelo conceptual para avanzar en la comprensión de la importancia de los distintos factores ambientales para los desplazamientos a pie y en bicicleta, que sirve de base para el diseño de un estudio empírico. Se utilizó un diseño inter-sujetos, comparando dos carriles bici/peatonales situados en dos ciudades suecas de tamaño medio durante el día y después del anochecer. Peatones (n=90) y ciclistas (n=74) respondieron a cuestionarios en los que se evaluaban parámetros ambientales cuya importancia se suponía para los desplazamientos a pie y en bicicleta. Los ANOVAs de tres factores indicaron diferencias entre los dos lugares (estímulos percibidos), entre peatones y ciclistas (valoración ambiental, respuesta afectiva, intención conductual), y entre las condiciones diurnas y las oscuras (accesibilidad visual, potencial restaurador). El modelo conceptual ayuda a identificar la importancia de diversas características ambientales.
