摘要:Bicycle transport with all its necessary and complementary components has to be a part of the smart city infrastructure. Szeged smart city future vision document contains several statements determining future development plans regarding cycling. These include cycling friendly road network,building bicycle facilities,community bicycle transport system etc. Financed by the Social Renewal Operational Programme a survey was conducted in 2015. This paper summarizes the results of the analysis considering public opinion on cycling frequency,bicycle transport and financing in Szeged. Nearly one thousand residents took part in the survey. The following examinations were performed:frequency of bicycle use by different characteristics of the participants,association measurements with Cramér’s V and hypothesis were also examined with z-test. A large percentage of city residents use bicycles as transport,so it is important to maintain and develop the cycling possibilities in the city. The characteristics of bicycle users (gender,age,etc.) has little effects on their cycling habits,so city residents can be considered a homogeneous group. Most of Szeged’s population attach importance to the development,improvement and interconnection of bicycle paths and consider safe storage sites near central places important. Therefore,more attention is needed and money should be spent on these in the future. It would also make sense to develop a smartphone application for cyclists to monitor bicycle (and other kinds of) traffic.
