"Examining the Effects of Urban Form Factors, High-Integrated Streets, and Topological choice on Bicycle Usage in Rotterdam"^^ . "Urban transportation is a contentious subject; there are many approaches already in use to\r\nshift to more sustainable transport options to reduce pollution while offering more space to\r\ncitizens. Recently, more cities have been considering implementing active transportation\r\nlike the bicycle. The use of bicycles has many benefits for society, the economy, the\r\nenvironment and public health. The cost to build bicycle infrastructure is relatively low and\r\nis one of the few forms of transportation infrastructure that has a net positive affect on\r\nsociety. However, despite the vast amount of literature on which urban form factors\r\nencourage citizens to take the bicycle as a mode of transportation, parsing this information\r\nremains difficult, leaving policymakers and academics struggling to understand and\r\nencourage daily cycling in cities.\r\nThis paper examines academic sources and current practices to serve as a\r\nbenchmark for understanding which bicycle infrastructure designs and space syntax\r\nmethods currently have the most impact on bicycle usage. This report uses Geographic\r\nInformation Systems (GIS) and space syntax based on various theories and techniques for\r\nanalyzing spatial configurations; specifically, it will analyze Rotterdam's urban infrastructure\r\nnetwork. In order to understand the street network topological choice, angular integration\r\nand connectivity were analyzed using space syntax. The spatial analysis allows for an OLS\r\nregression statistical test to pinpoint which combinations of factors play a role in increased\r\nbicycle usage. Results showed that areas with a high amount of bicycle infrastructure\r\ndesign and high levels of angular integration and topological choice have a high impact on\r\nincreasing bicycle usage in Rotterdam. Other results in this study highlight that a cluster of\r\nbicycle amenities (transit stop areas, major transit stations and bicycle parking) and a high\r\nlevel of population density also impact bicycle usage significantly. This work adds to the\r\nunderstanding of urban form and which bicycle infrastructure design has the most influence\r\non bicycle counts and provides a few suggestions for policymakers."^^ .
