REFERENCES 31 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS 33 PHOTO CREDITS 34 Environmental Indicators for Metropolitan Melbourne - Bulletin 4 FOREWORD It is with considerable satisfaction that I write this Foreword on behalf of the Australian Institute of Urban Studies. When the first bulletin appeared in 1998 we could not have guessed that our project would still exist four years later, in fact be going from strength to strength. This shows that the bulletins have met with a positive response and more specifically, an increasing number of councils and other organizations have given us the support needed to continue their publication. For this support we are most grateful. We have sought to improve and expand each issue of the Bulletin so that the environmental information found in its pages becomes more interesting and valuable to its readers. With this in mind Bulletin 4 has revisited the indicators first presented in Bulletin 2. The air quality data has been either updated, or where new statistics were not available due to differing time frames, other measures of this important indicator have been introduced. Similarly with transport, data has been updated and expanded. However as well as that, we have included a number of case studies as examples that show the imaginative polices which some councils are developing in this area. Case studies have also been included in the biodiversity theme. Here it is the diversity of council initiatives that is impressive. They range from policies of conservation to restoration and public education. As our data on biodiversity in Bulletin 2 was limited, we made a special effort to expand its scope. Data on the environmental indicator of litter has been updated and made more detailed. A brief account of a novel litter assessment initiative also has been included. We have also included some generic statistical data on funds devoted by local government to environmental expenditure. This gives some indication of councils’ relative priorities in this field. The Steering Committee is considering further qualitative research to gather more specific information of council environmental priorities. This is just one example of the gaps in environmental information that still exist, not to mention data that is incomplete or lacking in precision. The City of Melbourne is the principal sponsor of the Bulletin and without this support the whole project would not have been possible. On behalf of the Institute I would also like to acknowledge the financial support provided during 2000/2001 by the following councils – Banyule, Boroondara, Darebin, Monash, Moonee Valley, Moreland, Nillumbik, Stonnington and Yarra. An enthusiastic Steering Committee has produced this Bulletin, and I would like to say a special thank you to Darrell Kraehenbuehl, Peter Mondy, Dietmar Dinges, Michelle Bennett, Lisa Di Felice, and Phil Burn for their consistent contribution to the preparation of this issue. Finally, the hard work of our consultant should be acknowledged. Denise Elias has been instrumental in collecting, interpreting and preparing the text. Thank you very much Denise for your dedication and excellent work. Joe Hajdu Project Convenor Australian Institute of Urban Studies.

The reading is not a quantitative measurement and it is important that readers do not interpret the reading in isolation from the detailed data and commentary presented. AIR QUALITY I Melbourne’s 8-hour ozone concentrations exceeded objectives on ten days during 2000. I Melbourne’s airborne particle index (API) exceeded objectives on 26 days The Envirometer during 2000. Air quality is improving, but care is still required. I Despite these exceedences, Melbourne’s overall air quality is improving over time. TRANSPORT I There was a slight increase in use of Melbourne’s public transport between 1997 and 1999. The Envirometer I Car usage per person has remained fairly constant, although it still makes up There have been increases in two thirds of all trips. sustainable transport use, although car usage remains an area of concern. LITTER I There has been an overall decline in litter in urban areas and on beaches, although summer brings out a higher incidence of littering. I The Envirometer Litter in waterways remains an area of concern. While some areas are improving, others are still cause for concern. COUNCIL PRIORITIES AND COMMUNITY CONCERNS I There is scope for local councils to shape environmental policies to more closely

To inform planning and practice, there is a need to understand 12 the proportion of the population (the ‘near-market’) that are interested in riding a bike, and how this varies across regions. 13 The Geller typology classifies individuals into one of four groups, based on their confidence to ride a bike in various 14 infrastructure types, and frequency of bike riding. The typology has been used at a city, state and country-wide scale, 15 however not at a smaller spatial scale.

  • What It's Like to Ride a Bike: Understanding Cyclist Experiences
    Curtin University Sustainability Policy (CUSP) Institute What It’s Like to Ride a Bike: Understanding Cyclist Experiences Georgia Clare Scott This thesis is presented for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy of Curtin University April 2018 Declaration To the best of my knowledge and belief this thesis contains no material previously published by any other person except where due acknowledgment has been made. This thesis contains no material which has been accepted for the award of any other degree or diploma in any university. Human Ethics The research presented and reported in this thesis was conducted in accordance with the National Health and Medical Research Council National Statement on Ethical Conduct in Human Research (2007) – updated March 2014. The proposed research study received human research ethics approval from the Curtin University Human Research Ethics Committee (EC00262), Approval Number # HURGS-14-14. Georgia Clare Scott 23 April 2018 iii Abstract Sustainability research recognises the role transport plays in shaping cities, and the destructive consequences of automobile dependency. As a low carbon, affordable, healthy and efficient transport mode, cycling necessarily contributes towards making cities more liveable and sustainable. Research thus far, however, has failed to fully engage with the experiential aspect of mobility, missing a window into both the liveability of cities and the success or failure of the transport systems within them. In response, this thesis explores how people’s experiences cycling in urban environments can be understood and used to inform transport policy. Its objectives are to contribute better understandings of urban cycling mobilities, and how such understandings can inform Australian sustainable transport policy, by comparing Western cities of high and low cycling amenity through using a combination of semi-structured and go-along interviews.
