The Quality of Bicycle Infrastructure in Yogyakarta City: A Case of Suroto Bicycle Lane

Abstract

Suroto Street, located in a strategic area in Yogyakarta City, plays an important role in accommodating the mobility of residents, including bicycle users. Unfortunately, the narrow physical condition of the road and the interference from motorized vehicles using the bicycle lane often interfere with the comfort of bicycle users. This study examines bicycle lane characteristics and users and evaluates lane performance. It also prioritizes bicycle lane improvements to enhance comfort. Using both quantitative and qualitative methods, data were collected through field observations and questionnaires from 100 respondents through non-probability sampling. The analysis methods included Descriptive Statistics (Frequency), Kruskal-Wallis test, BLOS analysis, Patton-Savicky policy analysis, and Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). Findings revealed missing complementary facilities and poor bicycle service levels. Experts recommend prioritizing improvements to minimize motor vehicle interference, while the Kruskal-Wallis test highlights that bicycle rental stations significantly impact user satisfaction on Suroto Street in Yogyakarta.
