Abstract

The use of motor vehicles in the cities of Turkey is increasing with every passing day due to the cities rapidly expanding in Turkey. The share of environment-friendly transportation types entirely based on manpower such as pedestrian and bicycle transports in urban areas continuously decreases due to expanding urban residential areas. For urban transportation, bicycle is an individual, independent and fast transportation vehicle similar to motor vehicles in terms of its properties such as it can travel at any time and determine its route itself without any delay. From 1920 to present, Konya City has been identified with bicycle transportation in the city center where the number of bicycles reached to the largest number of 650,000 at the present time in Turkey. The objective of this study was to improve the transport of bicycles in Konya`s urban transport by applying polls and making interviews with the bicycle users parking their bicycles at various regular/irregular bicycle parks in Konya City Center in order to get information about their trips with bicycles and their complaints and suggestions related to the development of bicycle transport in Konya`s urban transport.
