Investigation of behavioral aspects stimulating cycling : a Flanders, Belgium case study

o elevate adoption levels various interventions, programs and stimulants are being introduced in developed countries. In Flanders such programs exist but current accidents, lower safety perceptions raise ambivalence over their effectiveness and raise urge to evaluate them. To address this a survey was conducted. Results imply that aging category is more concerned about safety, infrastructure, while younger age groups are more inclined towards measures i.e. stimulants, environment and social outlook.

o elevate adoption levels various interventions, programs and stimulants are being introduced in developed countries. In Flanders such programs exist but current accidents, lower safety perceptions raise ambivalence over their effectiveness and raise urge to evaluate them. To address this a survey was conducted. Results imply that aging category is more concerned about safety, infrastructure, while younger age groups are more inclined towards measures i.e. stimulants, environment and social outlook. Working age class has a delicate transition from youth to aging category with evolution of social economic circumstances. Older age individuals also rely more on peer support, while relative younger people like more of an individualist approach. Intervention programs aiming to reduce traffic interaction, exposure between weak and strong road users stimulates in reducing risk perception among cyclists. Results shall be treated as a guideline for programs implicating safety perception, reduce determinants which effect cycling and ultimately elevating cycling levels.
