碩士 === 國立政治大學 === 地政學系 === 106 === Due to the Financial crisis and European debt crisis in recent years, the concept of sharing economy has risen around the world. Among them, shared mobility includes: car sharing, ride sharing and bike sharing, has been widely developed in major cities around the world, since it provides diverse transportation options, extends the public transportation services,and enhances the mobility of the city. It was considered as the solution of traffic and environmental problems. However, the traffic environment planning in Taiwan was based on motor vehicle, when the users of shared mobility increased, in order to consider the use of this new type of vehicle and provide safe and equal Right-of-Way for users of different carriers, it was required to get insights into the service condition of shared mobility. This study analyzed the rental data of YouBike system in Taipei from 2013-May,2017, to understand the use of each station under different periods and location, explore the distribution of such shared mobility in city and the association with urban land use, and to propose the street improvement strategies. The results show that the spatial distribution of public bicycle use in Taipei City is similar in the weekdays and weekends, mainly in Xinyi District, Daan District, and Zhongzheng District. In addition, the hotspot analysis was used to determine the clustering behavior, and found that the hot zone for the use of public bicycles is in Xinyi District, Daan District and Zhongzheng District; the cold zone is located in Wenshan District and Neihu District. Then, we classified four rental types of public bicycle stations and overlayed the results with land use and transportation nodes to understand the relevance of public bicycle use and urban land use. According to the results of empirical analysis, the area surround Taiwan University and the Xinyi Commercial Area were selected as popular cycling areas for public bikes. After site inventoried, it was found that the pedestrian space is not enough and not friendly for pedestrians and bicycle riders, and hard to provide safe and equal rights for various road users. Therefore, this study applies the concept of complete streets planning, then proposes street improvement strategies for future reference in mobility planning and street design
