“…A program keretében minden pénteken szülők és gyerekek együtt kerékpároznak a kerület hét iskolájába, teljesen elfoglalva a korábban forgalmas városi utcákat (Wati-Tranter 2015). A kerékpáros iskolabusznak számos előnye van: egyrészt ez egy környezetbarát közlekedési forma; ugyanakkor biztonságos teret teremt a gyermekeknek az iskolába járáshoz; továbbá csökkenti a városi autós forgalmat, és összekovácsolja a közösséget a közös kerékpározás élményén keresztül (Kotsila et al 2023).…”

A modern városfejlesztés tükrében a városi kihívásokra reagálva különböző társadalmi-technikai innovációk terjedtek el, amelyek jól definiálható megoldásokat kínálnak. Az 1970-es évektől kezdődően a fejlett országokban különös tekintettel a városi terekben kialakult az úgynevezett ’backseat generation’, azon gyerekek csoportja, akiket szüleik nap mind nap autóval fuvaroznak az iskolába. Ezen jelenségnek számos negatív hatása van a gyermekekre, a környezetre és a városi terekre. Jelen tanulmány a városi közlekedésszervezés, azon belül is a napi rendszerességű iskolába járás problematikáját járja körül. Célja szakirodalmi elemzés alapján olyan jó példák bemutatása, mint a pedibusz és a bicibusz, amelyek a „slow city” koncepció tükrében a lokális értékekre és erőforrásokra helyezik a hangsúlyt. A tanulmány az utóbbi években Magyarországon is meghonosult pilotprogramok (gödöllői pedibusz és pécsi bicibusz) bemutatásával és értékelésével zárul. Ezen programok egyrészt felügyelt, biztonságos, csoportos megoldást kínálnak az iskolás gyermekeknek és családjaiknak az iskolába járáshoz, másrészt pedig közösséget építenek a különböző generációk között.

“…In this, GIS is used to record the variables related to distance, proximity, road network, sidewalk, crossing, path directness, topography, LULC, walkability and urbanization. Another study was conducted Wati and Tranter ( 2015 ), in which they studied spatial and social demographic factors that have affected the choice of cycling as the mode of transportation. They have reviewed 380 primary and 109 secondary schools of Queensland, Australia.…”

An evaluation of primary schools and its accessibility using GIS techniques: a case study of Prayagraj district, India

The spatial analysis of primary schools is needed to ensure that they meet standards set by the Government of India. Therefore, mapping of Prayagraj district primary schools is carried out in this research work. The spatial analysis of schools is performed using various parameters that include: literacy rate, student gender ratio, teacher taught ratio, and students’ toilets ratio. Several problems were revealed in the GIS based analysis of schools by highlighting their locations on the map. The results identify the location of all those schools where there is a need to take corrective measures. Further, the route analysis between home and school is handled in this research work. Sometimes, commutation is the sole criteria in the selection of a school. Therefore, optimal path analysis has been performed based on three parameters, i.e. population density, traveling distance and traveling time. A combined weight function is also given to find the optimal path. This work will help people to select the best possible path based upon their requirements. There is often a requirement to reach all the schools to distribute the goods or other physical monitoring activities. This work gave the optimal route to visit all the schools by using the Travelling Salesman Problem (TSP). School accessibility results obtained in this research through TSP will assist in choosing the best possible route. This will help the government identify locations where new roads need to be constructed to have road connectivity.

Toward feminist geographies of cycling

Using a systematic search strategy, this paper reviews the literature about gender and cycling and critically assesses existing approaches to study the topic. Most studies use a binary conceptualization of gender, a cross‐sectional research design, and quantitative analysis to examine male–female differences in cycling behaviours, stated concerns, correlates, and barriers. The two hypotheses at the centre of most of this work are (1) that women cycle less than men due to greater safety concerns and (2) that women cycle less, or at least use bicycles differently than men, because of their more complex travel patterns that arise from greater household responsibilities. While the literature draws attention toward travel characteristics, it often relies on a simple binary conceptualization of gender. In doing so, it identifies differences in male–female cycling patterns, but it rarely sheds light on the gendered processes underlying these differences. In this paper, we argue that research into cycling as a form of mobility could be strengthened by engaging with feminist theories such as performativity, intersectionality, and embodiment to advance a more nuanced understanding of how gender and other axes of identity are intertwined with cycling.
