摘要: |
Overall, this project evaluates the relative possibilities of transportation-related applications of the quality of life concept within the context of the experience of bicycle transportation. Exploration of this relationship has been largely absent in the literature connecting quality of life, transportation, and transport sustainability. By studying the social perceptions of bicycle use and its related impacts on quality of life, this project furthers the understanding of the viability of bicycles as a sustainable alternative to motorized vehicles (Environmental Protection Agency, 2011) and supports the facilitation of bicycle transportation through relevant changes to policy, public perception, and infrastructure to promote health, environmental, economic, and community benefits of cycling. |
