Bike-sharing initiatives play a crucial role in sustainable urban transportation, addressing vehicular congestion, air quality issues, and sedentary lifestyles. However, the connection between bike-sharing facilities advantages perceived by users remains insufficiently explored particular post-industrial regions, such as Silesia, Poland. This study develops multidimensional framework linking infrastructure elements—such station density, bicycle accessibility, maintenance standards, technological integration—to benefits. Using mixed-methods approach, survey conducted key Silesian cities combines quantitative analysis (descriptive statistics, factor analysis, regression modelling) with qualitative insights from user feedback. The results indicate that most valuable benefits are health improvements (e.g., improved physical fitness mobility) environmental sustainability. infrastructural deficiencies—disjointed bike path systems, uneven placements, irregular maintenance—substantially hinder system efficiency accessibility.

Green mobility is one of the main solutions to reduce environmental impact transportation, as well support sustainable urban development. This study aims identify strategies for implementing green in areas using SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) and STP (Segmentation, Targeting, Positioning) analysis approaches. uses a qualitative method based on literature studies that examine various sources related policies, infrastructure, practices cities. The results show strength implementation lies being an environmentally friendly transportation with low operational costs can congestion, although there are weaknesses terms inadequate infrastructure resistance behavioral change. Opportunities be utilized include from government policies global trends towards smart cities increased investment sector, while threats faced by conventional vehicle industry high dependence private motor vehicles. In analysis, market segmentation carried out geographic, demographic, psychographic characteristics, targeting workers who more open solutions. positioned efficient, cost-effective, option. Based results, it suggested focus developing better educational campaigns, policy government. Thus, strategy obtained education community, development supporting provision incentives subsidies, mobility.

Electric bike (e-bike) accidents have emerged as a significant road safety concern in recent years. Employing mixed-methods approach, this study seeks to elucidate the mechanisms underlying e-bike and develop an safe system aimed at enhancing accident prevention. Quantitative analysis was employed identify key components their relationships through event-based examination of structured dataset using Bayesian network. Complementing this, qualitative methods—including observations interviews—were conducted gain deeper insights into how riders interact with other within system. This carried out Guangzhou, metropolitan city increasing use e-bikes e-bike-related accidents. The findings are follows: 1. comprises critical components, including infrastructure (roads facilities), e-bikes, riding behavior, individual riders, users. 2. E-bike predominantly result from dysfunctions alteration one component influences which may, turn, provide feedback original component. 3. While riders’ mistakes play role, interactions between also contribute 4. At rider level, barriers include lack knowledge, low penalties for violations, high opportunity costs associated behaviors. Deficiencies infrastructure, regulations, law enforcement violations risky practices. contributes current body studies by developing
