Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺灣師範大學 === 地理學系 === 107 === Public Bicycle-Sharing System (PBS) has been developed for a decade in Taipei City. As the construction of the rental station has gradually become complete, it has become one of the public transport systems in Taipei City. Since the usage of PBS in outdoor environments, not only that, Taiwan has a high concentration of particulate matters (PM) in winter and spring. The particulate matters in the air easily enter the respiratory tract and blood vessels of the human body, which may cause physical discomfort or increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. In addition, the frequency of extreme weather in Taiwan has gradually increased in recent years. Does air quality and weather profile have an impact on the use of public bicycles? The study used Pearson Correlation Coefficient and Regression Analysis method to analyze the relationship between PBS rental behavior and weather and air quality from November, 2016 to October, 2017 in Taipei City. The results show that rainfall in the weather-related variables is significantly negatively correlated with the rental rate of PBS; temperature, wind speed and aerosol concentration have no significant effect.
