The suitability level of bike-sharing station in Yogyakarta using SMCA technique

Abstract

Yogyakarta is experiencing the increasing number of population (1,13%) from 2014 to 2017 that influences the rising number of motorized vehicles. Besides, it is also led by the easiness to access vehicles ownership in Yogyakarta. In 2017, Yogyakarta ranked fourth as the most congested city in Indonesia that indicates the importance of changing the transportation mode from private vehicles to public transportation. Through the mission of Yogyakarta to strengthen urban planning and environmental sustainability, it is necessary to implement green transportation along with transport demand management to reduce the disadvantages of road congestion in the city. Hence, bike-sharing system can be an option that provides new alternative mobility. However, the important thing to manage bike-sharing systems is the optimal location of bike-sharing station. In Yogyakarta, there is already a bike-sharing systems but only in 12 stations. This research aims to identify the best location for siting bike-sharing station based on spatial analysis using Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Spatial Multi-Criteria Analysis (SMCA). According to the analysis, the urban core of Yogyakarta and its surrounding are the most suitable location for bike-sharing station.

Study of Palm Oil Mill Effluent for Land Application Suitability in Lamandau Regency, Kalimantan Tengah Province

“…GIS is proven to be a very handful method in determining land suitability because it incorporates multi-data with bird-view perspective hence it could help answer all the research questions. For land suitability use, several approaches in the GIS method have been applied namely ELECTRE [13], multi-criterion [14][15][16], and Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) [17,18]. For this research, we use the overlay method with scoring to determine suitability.…”

Compromise Multi-Criteria Selection of E-Scooters for the Vehicle Sharing System in Poland

“…Karolemeas et al [21] prepared an index based on the AHP method for the planning of bicycle routes in the existing road network. In turn, in the studies by Kurniadhini and Roychansyah [22], Kabak et al [23], Eren and Katanalp [24], and Guler and Yomralioglu [25], the potential locations of the bike-sharing system stations were considered and assessed. In the aforementioned studies, the aggregation of multi-criteria preferences was carried out using various MCDA methods, which were, respectively: SMCA, MULTIMOORA, VIKOR, and TOPSIS.…”

A Systematic Review of Station Location Techniques for Bicycle-Sharing Systems Planning and Operation

“…For example, Yogyakarta is the fourth most congested city in Indonesia, highlighting the importance of changing the transportation mode from private vehicles to public transportation. With this purpose in mind, a study [38] developed a currently operating BSS consisting of only 12 stations, trying to find the optimal location for new stations by considering 13 criteria in the model. Sometimes, the issue is related to the density and inequitable distribution of services, where BSSs do not reach low-income areas in a city (see [34]).…”

“…Identifying the best location for siting bicycle-sharing stations can use a mix of AHP and spatial multi-criteria analysis. In a case study in Yogyakarta [38], three main criteria of the transport network, land use, and demand with 13 sub-criteria were used in the analysis. According to the created suitability map of bike sharing, the study proposed the location of new stations.…”

“…User satisfaction, minimum walking distance between origin and stations, and user safety are the principal research goals for the user's perspective. In the domain of "city infrastructure", the more variable goals were considering the points of interest [29,38], public transport system [13,32], and providing access to the BSSs for low-income areas [34]. In general, in previous studies, while finding the optimal station location, if many and various sub-criteria were targeted in the study's goal, the study would be considered a more valuable study.…”
