碩士 === 國立臺灣大學 === 土木工程學研究所 === 96 === Nowadays, there are more and more people using bicycles as commuting tools. At the same time, the demand of bicycle parking spaces becomes more and more important. Although there are supply standards for cars and motorcycles, there is none for bicycles. If we look around, there are many supply standards or codes of bicycle parking spaces overseas. In this research, I want to find an adaptable supply standard to solve the problem of parking. There are four kinds of buildings in my research, including residential, commercial, office, and institutional categories. First of all, I look for related research in the literature for supply standards at home and abroad, and broach the framework. Then, according to my categories, I choose 15 buildings in Xinyi District to do field survey because there are bikeways and parking spaces around the buildings. The survey results are used to draw up my supply standard. On the other hand, I use a questionnaire to investigate people’s attitude toward bicycles. There are four parts in my questionnaire. The first part is their using habits and background. The second part is the investigation of residential parking. The third part is the parking situation when they ride out. The last part includes other related questions. In this way, the present situation of bicycle parking can be fully examined. According to my research, I suggest the supply standard be defined by building area, except that the residential category is defined by house unit. Moreover, there is no survey result of the residential category, so this study would be a preliminary research. After the survey, I find the bicycle parking spaces in Xinyi District are not enough. The supply standard I suggest can satisfy the requirements of most buildings and improve the problems of parking. It may serve as a referral to establish codes in the future.
