The Research of Tripartite Collaborative Governance on Disorderly Parking of Shared Bicycles Based on the Theory of Planned Behavior and Motivation Theories—A Case of Beijing, China

Abstract

With the maturity of mobile payments and internet technology, a new type of travel mode, shared bicycles, was brought out by China’s urban transport under the impetus of “the last mile” travel demand. Although convenient travel has been achieved by using shared bicycles, the resulting problems such as disorderly parking and the deposition of bicycles could severely influence urban traffic order and impede the sustainable development of shared bicycles. Based on the quasi-public goods property of shared bicycles, this article established a management system for the tripartite collaborative governance of disorderly bicycle parking by virtue of regulating the bicycle parking behavior of users, the promoting of multiple propaganda and macro-institutional controls of the government, and acquiring technique support of enterprise “entry settlement”. Furthermore, considering the influence on the governance effect of user conduct, a structural model for guiding users to regulate bicycle parking to guarantee the governance effect by adopting material incentive and spiritual motivation was established via the utilization of the theory of planned behavior and motivation theories, and multiple hypotheses were also proposed. In this article, users of shared bikes in Beijing, China were selected as the research objects, and a questionnaire survey was adopted as the empirical research method. In addition, the governance validity on disorderly parking of the collaborative governance model was tested via hierarchical regression analysis after the collection and analysis of the factors influencing bicycle parking behavior of users. The obtained results show that the tripartite collaborative governance model could enhance the regular parking consciousness of users and improve the governance effect of disorderly parking. The research conclusion of this article could provide feasible suggestions for the governance of bicycle disorderly parking and propel the sustainable development of shared bicycles.

Last-Mile Travel Mode Choice: Data-Mining Hybrid with Multiple Attribute Decision Making

“…However, planning strategies for the integration of dockless-bike-sharing transit can be different from the traditional station-based bike-sharing-transit integration. Given that dockless shared bikes are densely distributed near transit (e.g., metro) stations and are often parked randomly [12], the key focus of planning may be the regulation of disordered parking behaviors and the improvement of parking spaces near transit stations to achieve efficient dockless bike-sharing-transit integration. Related strategies include setting the electronic fence and recommending parking areas (marked with a white rectangle on the ground).…”

“…As Munoz-Raskin [11] proposed, pedestrians can only bear walking no more than 10 min to access transit. In a similar vein, dockless bike-sharing, which is prevailing in many contexts (e.g., China and Singapore), has numerous advantages, such as flexibility and ease to pick up and drop off [12,13]. However, riders may park it arbitrarily, and such disorderly parking behaviors may give rise to traffic congestion and other congestion-induced issues, such as lost productive time [12].…”

Tripartite Dynamic Game among Government, Bike-Sharing Enterprises, and Consumers under the Influence of Seasons and Quota

“…Bike-sharing enterprises should expect to be supervised by the government in exchange for the use of public right of way [30,31]. Bike-sharing governance should be achieved through the tripartite cooperation of the government, bike-sharing enterprises and consumers [32,33]. Therefore, the governance of bike-sharing must be studied.…”

Research on a Shared Bicycle Deposit Management System Based on Blockchain Technology

“…After its introduction to the China market at 2016, bike sharing, with vigorous support from the government, has become an indispensable part of urban green public transport system [1]. According to the statistics, shared bikes are distributed in over 200 cities in China; the highest daily usage of shared bikes has surpassed 700 million persontimes [2].…”
