The ever-increasing expansion of urbanization has caused an increase in activity density in cities and has created many problems in urban transportation. The development of sustainable types of travel for inner-city traffic, such as cycling, is inevitable to face the factors disturbing the comfort of citizens. On the other hand inadequacies in the bicycle path network have decreased this mode of transportation. It is noteworthy that Districts 3 and 1 in Isfahan, located in the historical and valuable center, are pioneers in bicycle path construction. This research seeks to investigate the movement and accessibility in the cycling routes of Districts 3 and 1 of Isfahan City. This is a mixed-method research, collecting the data through documentary analysis and field studies. The authors used the MABAC analytical method for data integration and the final research analysis. The results show that out of a total of 22 cycling routes in Districts 1 and 3 of Isfahan City, Motahari (0.183), Chaharbagh Abbasi (0.174), and Saeb (0.132) are the best cycling routes. On the other hand, Pasdaran (- 0.127), Bagh Goldaste (-0.086), and Ayatollah Khorasani (-0.084) have the lowest scores of all. Finally, some suggestions to improve the condition of these routes are presented. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
