  • Bike! the Bicycle Sharing System in the Smart City Barcelona Aylin Ilhana* & Kaja J
    ISSN 2412-0049 LIS August 23-25, 2017, Sapporo, Japan Think Green – Bike! The Bicycle Sharing System in the Smart City Barcelona Aylin Ilhana* & Kaja J. Fietkiewicza aDepartment of Information Science, Heinrich Heine University, Universitätsstraße 1, Düsseldorf, Germany *Corresponding Author: [email protected] ABSTRACT One of the main goals of every (aspiring) Smart City is a green-minded, sustainable development. Today, one of the most popular green Smart City trends is the provision of bike sharing systems. In this study, we evaluate the Bicing service in Barcelona, which is one of the “smartest” cities in Europe. The investigation is based on a rapid ethnographic field study, qualitative interviews as well as a quantitative online survey among Barcelona’s residents and people staying in Barcelona for work, study or other reasons (e.g. shopping), all of which ensure a user-centric approach. The results show some strengths as well as weaknesses of the service and enable us to deduce important rules for implementation of bike sharing systems. Keywords: sustainable development, sustainable service, bike sharing system, urban development, strengths and weaknesses 1. Introduction How can citizens take over the responsibility and put an end to the air pollution and congested roads? Obviously, by deciding to be more green-minded. But how can citizens live more environment-friendly, if there are no green-minded alternatives? This is the reason why we need more sustainable and eco-friendly infrastructures and services in today’s cities. With integrating Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in everyday life, simple aspects such as riding a bike become influenced by ICT, too.

  • Public Bicycle Schemes
    Division 44 Water, Energy and Transport Recommended Reading and Links on Public Bicycle Schemes September 2010 Reading List on Public Bicycle Schemes Preface Various cities around the world are trying methods to encourage bicycling as a sustainable transport mode. Among those methods in encouraging cycling implementing public bicycle schemes is one. The public bicycle schemes are also known as bicycle sharing systems, community bicycling schemes etc., The main idea of a public bicycle system is that the user need not own a bicycle but still gain the advantages of bicycling by renting a bicycle provided by the scheme for a nominal fee or for free of charge (as in some cities). Most of these schemes enable people to realize one way trips, because the users needn’t to return the bicycles to the origin, which will avoid unnecessary travel. Public bicycle schemes provide not only convenience for trips in the communities, they can also be a good addition to the public transport system. Encouraging public bike systems have shown that there can be numerous short that could be made by a bicycle instead of using motorised modes. Public bike schemes also encourage creative designs in bikes and also in the operational mechanisms. The current document is one of the several efforts of GTZ-Sustainable Urban Transport Project to bring to the policymakers an easy to access list of available material on Public Bike Schemes (PBS) which can be used in their everyday work. The document aims to list out some influential and informative resources that highlight the importance of PBS in cities and how the existing situation could be improved.

The data collection consists of two stages that first 40 seek to build a picture of the current situation before moving on to a more detailed discussion 41 with the scheme adopters. 42 The paper presents a brief history of bike hire schemes and describes the theoretical basis 43 for the investigation, drawing on innovation and diffusion theory. It then reports the findings 44 of the research, which suggests that the expansion phase of city adoption of public bike hire 45 schemes may be past its peak.
