All means of transportation that involves using one's own muscle power to get from one place to another is referred to as ‘active transportation’. The current study intends to revive urban neighbourhood streets by enabling the use of active modes of transport. An attempt is made to enable the use of active modes of transport through analysing citizens' perceptions and their needs in line with infrastructure facilities to foster/encourage the shift to active transportation. The objective of the current investigation is to identify priority ‘areas of intervention’ (the basic requirement of the citizens) for fostering active transportation (walking and cycling) facilities. The priority ‘areas of intervention’ are identified using revised Importance Performance Analysis (IPA). A survey instrument was constructed to assess the importance and satisfaction of several parameters associated with walking and cycling; data was collected on a five-point unipolar Likert-type scale. The parameters analysed assess the overall provisions in the neighbourhood and assist in understanding the barriers to the choosing of active modes of walking and cycling. The results of the present study are an evaluation for decision making to improve active transport facilities in neighbourhood named, Evershine City of Vasai in Maharashtra. The findings of the study indicate the need for improvement of several facilities to increase the overall performance level of active transport in the neighbourhood. The improvements made in those areas are expected to promote active mobility in the neighbourhood. Despite the findings of the current study are case-specific, the work is anticipated to achieve the ease of mobility for first mile and last mile connectivity in various urban neighbourhoods, further encouraging green mobility by prioritizing active mobility.

重新开发城市街区街道以促进主动交通——来自马哈拉施特拉邦瓦赛的证据

所有涉及使用自己的体力从一个地方到达另一个地方的交通方式都被称为“主动交通”。当前的研究旨在通过使用积极的交通方式来复兴城市社区街道。试图通过分析公民的看法和他们根据基础设施设施的需求来使用主动交通方式,以促进/鼓励向主动交通的转变。当前调查的目的是确定优先“干预领域”(公民的基本要求),以促进积极的交通(步行和骑自行车)设施。使用修订后的重要性绩效分析 (IPA) 确定优先“干预领域”。构建了一个调查工具来评估与步行和骑自行车相关的几个参数的重要性和满意度;数据采用五点单极李克特量表收集。分析的参数评估了社区的整体设施,并有助于了解选择步行和骑自行车的主动模式的障碍。本研究的结果是对马哈拉施特拉邦瓦赛永辉市社区改善主动交通设施的决策进行评估。研究结果表明,需要改进多项设施,以提高附近主动交通的整体性能水平。这些领域的改善预计将促进社区的积极流动。尽管当前研究的结果是针对特定案例的,但预计这项工作将在各个城市社区实现第一英里和最后一英里连接的便捷性,通过优先考虑主动出行来进一步鼓励绿色出行。
