[pt] Do crescente uso da bicicleta em grandes cidades emerge a necessidade de projetos urbanísticos que promovam a integração entre o modal cicloviário e os demais meios de transporte urbano, enquanto processos mais eficientes de manutenção dos caminhos cicláveis enfrentam a descontinuidade na administração pública com suas mazelas como a interrupção de projetos e a ausência de dados históricos. Este trabalho apresenta o conceito de Ciclovia Viável para áreas urbanas de metrópoles considerando o uso de indicadores modelados nas dimensões social, técnica e ambiental. O indicador proposto pode mitigar a ausência de dados estruturados servindo como ferramenta para planos de integração entre os modais e de conservação dos caminhos cicláveis. O quadro teórico revisado aponta para quatorze critérios voltados à avaliação de níveis mínimos de serviços no atendimento a demandas de ciclistas e orientados ao monitoramento da qualidade de ciclovias. O modelo do Índice da Ciclovia Viável é testado empiricamente por meio de levantamentos de campo em três ciclovias mantidas pela gestão pública municipal do Rio de Janeiro. Os seguintes indicadores são registrados: Ciclovia do Flamengo (Índice da Dimensão Social = 0,31, Índice da Dimensão Técnica= 0,88, Índice da Dimensão Ambiental= 0,82); Leme-Copacabana (IDS= 0,30, IDT= 0,82, IDA= 0,88) e Barra da Tijuca (IDS= 0,16, IDT= 0,78, IDA= 0,88). Percebe-se que a dimensão social figura como a menos favorecida nas três avaliações, significando um alerta de insuficiência de ciclovias com acessibilidade às pessoas que residem em áreas subnormais. / [en] The practice of cycling has been following our civilization for over a century. In recent decades, the so-called developed or developing countries have come to consider the cycling mode in their public policies, especially in urban mobility plans. In recent decades, the application of urban mobility policies by bicycles has gained prominence in the Brazilian scenario, especially in Rio de Janeiro. The history of Rio s bicycle lanes began in 1991, when the first bicycle lanes were built from a program for the redevelopment of the city s waterfront known as the Rio Orla. The program built 23 km of cycle paths intended primarily for leisure. From 1993, after the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development - ECO92, based in the city of Rio de Janeiro, the Municipal Secretariat of Environment of the Rio de Janeiro City Hall was created. In 2010, the city incorporated the Rio - Urban Capital of Bicycle Mobility project into the Urban Mobility Plan - PMU as a transportation alternative and as a modal element for short distances and for the purpose of integrating Bus Rapid Transport - BRT systems. trains and subway. In 2008, the Rio de Janeiro city cycling plan had the goal of expanding its 150 km network in 2009 to 450 km by the end of 2016. However, a cycling infrastructure is not only sustained by its length, but a set of socio-spatial criteria is required for its effectiveness. The Ministry of Cities, in its Bicycle Mobility Plan in Cities (Ministério das Cidades, 2007), states that linking with different transport systems is a key factor for bicycles to be adopted by the population while traveling and that urban infrastructure in cities must adapt to this mode. The observation of the use of bicycles in large cities, with varied and constantly changing technologies and organizations, was the starting point of the research that used a bibliographic review in search of concepts and methods of evaluation of the service level and the quality of the bicycle lanes and cycle tracks. There are several bicycle lane settings, depending on their applications. Similarly, the concepts of service level and the qualitative evaluation applied to these infrastructures also vary. For this research, these concepts follow those of large metropolises around the world with characteristics of planned cities and contribute to a new concept, built here, called Viable Bicycle Path Index (VBI). Once the new concept is defined, it is now feasible to develop a model capable of aggregating relevant information for the assessment of bicycle paths. Therefore, after surveying studies on national and international bicycle-related indexes, Brazilian technical standards and norms and urban elements necessary for the formation of a viable bicycle path, this research presents a methodological design with several elements (dependent and independent variables) that represent the landscape around bicycle paths in neighborhoods of the city capital.

Lietuvoje dviračių takų tinklą sudaro 317 km. Įvairiuose šalies rajonuose dviračių takų kiekis, jų būklė labai skiriasi. Prasčiausia dviračių takų būklė yra ten, kur nusidevėjusi asfaltbetonio danga, ji neapsaugo tako konstrukcijos nuo žalingo aplinkos ir transporto poveikio. Dviračių takų būklė neprižiūrint blogėja, jiems tvarkyti dažnai trūksta lėšų. 2007 – 2008 metais tyrinėta Jonavos miesto dviračių takų būklė. Tyrimų tikslas – išanalizuoti Jonavos miesto dviračių tako techninę būklę. Nustatyta, kad tiriamo dviračių tako techninė būklė patenkinama ( vidutinis balas 2,4), bet priežiūros darbų kiekis yra nepakankamas. Nustatyta, kad dviračių take neišspręstas paviršinio vandens sutvarkymas, tako dangoje formuojasi duobės. Norint pagerint būklę rekomenduojama sutvarkyti paviršinio vandens nuvedimo įrenginius, bei atkurti susidėvėjusią tako dangą. / The network of bicycle paths has 317 km in Lithuania. In various parts of the country the quantity of bicycle paths, their condition is very different. The worst condition of bicycle paths is in that areas, where the depreciation of asphalt concrete surface does not protect construction of path from the harmful effects of environment and transport. The condition of bicycle paths is going worse and worse, if nobody does not take care about it and the main problem to manage them is the lack of money. The condition of bicycle paths was researched in Jonava city in 2007-2008 years. The purpose of this work is to evaluate if maintenance funding of bicycle paths ensure appropriate technical condition. The technical condition of analysis bicycle paths and the work of institutions who managed them is satisfactory (mean score 2.4), but the amount of work is insufficient. Found that the bicycle paths take an open water surface cleaning and on the path surface is formed the pits. For the improved condition is recommended to fix the surface water sewer facilities and to restore the broken-down path cover.

Therefore, it is vital to know the profile of people using bicycle, their motivation, difficulties, and necessities to thus contribute with subsidies for public policy about urban mobility. With this objective, was investigated the profile of cyclists and their perceptions regarding the implementation and functionality of a new bicycle path on Brasil Avenue in Cascavel/PR. Moreover, was determined the impact of the path implementation in people mobility, and their opinions regarding the use of the bicycle path. In addition, was perceived the opinion of key-informants - representatives of public policy and related with the paths system project – with the objective of understand the knowledge of this professionals related with urban mobility. Was used a quali-quantitative mixed methodology with both quantitative and qualitative aspects applying data collection as follow: i) area of study delimitation; ii) determination of sampling effort; iii) application of a quiz to 219 cyclists; and 4) interviews with the five key-informants. The main results show that the majority of the bicycle path users were male (84%), between 21 and 40 years old (51%), with an income of two minimum-wage salaries (29%) and medium educational level (28%). Most people use the bicycle path for physical activities, although many uses it as a way to work (36%). Most (74%) agree that the bicycle path brought an increase in bicycle usage as transportation been a good investment for the municipality (77%). More than half of the users utilize bicycle every day (51%) and 37% do not own a car. Most of the cyclists ( 71%) practice other sports beside cycling, and not due to medical recommendation (90%). More than half of the cyclists interviewed (52%) rode through all Brasil Avenue’s bicycle path extension, and most (76%) claimed fell safer about accidents while riding on the path rather than on the street. Most of cyclists (41%) believed that respect on traffic and improvements on the infrastructure are the most important factors to improve the city’s bicycle path system. Considering the public service perspective, the interviews showed a good understand about the importance of urban mobility and alternative ways of transportation, as bicycles. In general, was observed that the necessities pointed out by the cyclists are understood by the public service and they were incorporated in paths system project. Was concluded that the Brasil Avenue bicycle path was approved by the population by allowing to the cyclists an exclusive space, safe, and comfortable, that have been attracting new users. Thus, the city of Cascavel is inserted in the global tendency when search to develop a more sustainable city. / A relação entre a poluição ambiental e o uso dos automóveis tem levado a discussão acerca da utilização de meios alternativos de transporte, especialmente os não motorizados, no qual a bicicleta pode mostrar-se viável e eficaz. Assim, é importante conhecer o perfil das pessoas que utilizam da bicicleta, suas motivações, dificuldades e necessidades, a fim de contribuir com subsídios para políticas públicas de mobilidade urbana. Para isso, buscou-se conhecer o perfil dos ciclistas e suas percepções com relação à implantação e a funcionalidade da ciclovia na Avenida Brasil em Cascavel/PR. Buscou-se ainda identificar alguns dos impactos da implantação dessa obra na mobilidade da população e suas opiniões quanto ao uso da ciclovia. Em adição, consultou-se a opinião de informantes-chave, representantes do poder público participante do projeto da ciclovia, objetivando-se compreender o entendimento desses profissionais com relação à mobilidade urbana. Utilizou-se metodologia mista quanti-qualitativa, adotando-se os seguintes procedimentos de coleta de dados: i) delimitação da área de estudo; ii) determinação do tamanho da amostra; iii) aplicação de questionários para 219 ciclistas; e iv) entrevistas com cinco informantes-chave; v) Análise quantitativa dos dados por meio de frequência e porcentagem e análise qualitativa dos dados por meio de análise de conteúdo Dentre os principais resultados obtidos, pode-se constatar que a maioria dos usuários é composta por homens (84%), entre 21 e 40 anos de idade (51%), com renda de até dois salários mínimos (29%) e nível médio de escolaridade (28%). A maioria utiliza a ciclovia para a prática de atividade física, entretanto, muitos a usam para trabalhar (36%). A maioria (74%) concorda que a ciclovia trouxe um aumento no uso da bicicleta como forma de transporte sendo um bom investimento para o município (77%). Mais da metade (51%) usa a bicicleta diariamente e 37% não possui carro. A grande maioria dos ciclistas praticam outros esportes (71%) não sendo por recomendação médica (90%). Mais da metade dos ciclistas entrevistados trafegavam por toda extensão da ciclovia da Avenida Brasil (52%) e a maioria (76%) afirmou sentirem-se mais protegidos de acidentes quando trafegam na ciclovia ao invés da rua. Muitos (41%) acreditavam que o respeito no trânsito e melhorias na infraestrutura são os fatores mais importante para aperfeiçoar o sistema cicloviário da cidade. Na perspectiva do poder público, as entrevistas mostraram um bom entendimento sobre a importância da mobilidade urbana e das alternativas de transporte, como a bicicleta. Observou-se, no geral, que as necessidades apontadas pelos ciclistas em relação ao uso da bicicleta são compreendidas pelo poder público e estão contempladas no projeto cicloviário do município. Concluiu-se que a ciclovia da Avenida Brasil foi aprovada pela população, permitindo aos ciclistas um espaço exclusivo, confortável e seguro, o que tem atraído novos usuários. Assim, o município de Cascavel/PR se insere na tendência mundial de desenvolvimento de uma cidade mais sustentável.

This thesis deals with a comparison of two sections of The Elbe Cycle Path in the Central Region. The whole work is divided into four parts. In the first half of the theoretical part describes cycling as such, explains the basic concepts arising from the topic and parameters that can influence the price of trails. The second half focuses on the approach to Elbe Cycle Route, its history, current status and vision for the future. The practical part describes The Elbe Cycle Route already embedded in the Central Region and the region itself and represents "The Elbe Cycle Route Brandýs nad Labem and in the neighborhood" and "The Cycleway Horní Počaply -- Vliněves -- Zelčín". The final section is devoted to the analysis of cartographic and economic comparison of the above projects. Final comparison shows the effectiveness in the implementation of both projects and highlights their strengths and opportunities and points out the weaknesses and threats that can be an inspiration and a warning to other projects linked to the development of cycling and mountain biking. The added value of this work is the visibility of both projects and communities to come together to be capable of such an important yet very financially demanding projects to implement. It turned out that although the patronage of the way, in terms of cycling, strategic projects assumed by the Central Region, it is fair to make a below average spending.

The aim of this thesis is made to propose revitalization of the Fryčajova street. It is elaborated in two ways which are focused on different properties. Priority of variant A is to creat so much parking spaces as is possible. Beside this variant B makes street more safeful for cyclists using pictograms and bicycle path.

When striving to develop towards sustainability, reducing private car use is a crucial factor. The most convenient alternative is to replace the private car with public transport. Fast public transport types, such as trains, have large catchment areas, thus walking to the station can be time consuming and increases door-to-door travel time compared with the private car. An alternative to this is bike-and-ride, i.e. cycling to the transit station and continuing with public transport. This study aims to find ways to increase public transport use, focusing on cycling between the home and the transit station. This is done through a literature study and a case study in Knivsta, a suburban area of Stockholm connected to the city center through commuter trains. Improvements in the current bike-and-ride infrastructure in Knivsta are suggested, using the principles of Transit Oriented Development and Theory of Planned Behavior as guidelines. The most important aspects of high bike-and-ride proportions is the provision of separate bicycle paths and plentiful high-quality bicycle parking at transit stations. The current situation in Knivsta is inadequate with few separate bicycle paths and the bicycle parking does not fulfil recommendations. Suggestions for improvements are proposed, with developing a regional bicycle highway network in addition to other bicycle paths throughout the town of Knivsta, in addition to increased and improved bicycle parking at Knivsta train station to fulfil the requirements of the future as Knivsta is expected to double in population towards 2030. The changes proposed to the bicycle infrastructure in Knivsta have potential to increase public transport use, decreasing private car and park-and-ride use. Due to the bicycle network being convenient and accessible for virtually everyone, the municipality will develop towards environmental, economic, and social sustainability.

The aim of this thesis is to solve construction adjustments on the street Štefánikova in Zlín with intersections modifications in the affected area. The documentation contains traffic calming solution for this street and it also deals with cycle tracks. Furthermore, the work deals with appropriate adjustments on bus stops and nearby sidewalks. All construction works are designed in accordance with the valid building codes and regulations.

This thesis aims to map out specifically and detailed process of planning and implementation of a development project. Introduction to the problem and definitions of basic concepts is located in the theoretical part. One of the main topics is the procedure for procurement and financing. In the practical part is introduced the development project Vážska cyklotrasa, its benefits, funding, procurement and contractor selection including preparation of documents for contract management.

För att uppnå ett hållbart samhälle krävs en omställning av transportsystemet. Region Stockholmsmålsättning är att andelen cykelresor ska mer än dubbleras till år 2030 och stå för 20% av alla resor ilänet. Bristande underhåll och dålig utformning på cykelbanor står för ca 60% av allvarligasingelolyckor på cykel. Denna ökning av cykelresor ställer därmed höga krav på utformning ochunderhåll av cykelinfrastrukturen. För att cykelbanans komfort ska vara god, krävs det attcykelbanan är jämn, vilket kan komma i konflikt med brunnslock, då det ofta uppstår sättningar ibeläggningen omkring brunnarna. Brunnslocken kan upplevas som obehagliga att cykla över och haräven lägre friktion än omkringliggande yta. Detta kan resultera i halka vilket särskilt är påtagligt närvägbanan är fuktig. Brunnslock är vanligt förekommande på cykelbanor, i denna studie inventeradesde centrala delarna av elva regionala cykelstråk och där förekom ca 1200 brunnslock. Dessa var avvarierande storlek, position i cykelbanan och höjdläge jämfört med den omkringliggandebeläggningen. Brunnslock kan vara ett potentiellt hinder på cykelbanor, vilket minskar cykelbananstillgängliga bredd. Cykelbanans tillgängliga bredd är den yta som är funktionellt möjlig att cykla på.Konstruerad bredd är däremot den bredd cykelbanan byggdes med utan hänsyn till eventuellahinder.Syftet med studien är att undersöka ifall brunnslock, specifikt manhålsbrunnar och kabelbrunnar,anses vara ett hinder för cyklister på cykelbanor och hur brunnslocken påverkar den tillgängligabredden på de fyra studieplatserna. Den tillgängliga bredden på studieplatserna jämförs medrekommenderade cykelbanebredder i handböcker. Studien avgränsades för att eftersträvastudieplatsernas likvärdighet och att enbart brunnslockens egenskaper skilde studieplatserna åt. Destuderade brunnslocken var: manhålsbrunn med och utan kant samt kabelbrunn med och utan kant.Studiens resultat visar det finns en skillnad mellan situationer med och utan mötande cyklist.Majoriteten av cyklisterna håller sig till höger om brunnslocken oberoende av möte eller ej möte,vilket kan bero på deras naturliga sidledsposition. När det inte är möte väljer många att cykla tillvänster om brunnslocken. Däremot, i situationer med möte väljer nästan ingen att cykla till vänsterom brunnslocken. Minskningen i antal som cyklar vänster om brunnslocken vid möte motsvararungefär ökningen i antal som cyklar höger om brunnslocken i samma situation. Antalet som cyklaröver brunnslock skiljer sig marginellt mellan situationer med och utan möte. Detta kan tolkas somatt cyklister byter sida om brunnslocken och undviker att cykla över dem. Vid de fyra studieplatsernaär det få som cyklar över brunnslocken vilket gör att dessa brunnslock troligen bör ses som etthinder som minskar den tillgängliga bredden.Det kan konstateras att de undersökta kabelbrunnarna är ett större hinder för cyklister änmanhålsbrunnarna. Brunnslock med kant är ett större hinder än brunnslock utan kant. Fler brunnarbehöver studeras innan det går att dra mer generella slutsatser om brunnslock på cykelbanor. Dettagäller både de undersökta brunnarna och andra sorters brunnar.Den tillgängliga bredden på studieplatserna jämfördes med rekommenderade cykelbanebredder idessa handböcker: VGU, GCM-handboken, Stockholms läns regionala cykelplan, Stockholmscykelplan, Cykeln i staden och Solnas cykelplan. Bredderna som rekommenderas i handböckernauppfylls inte sett till den tillgängliga bredden på studieplatserna. / The transport system must transform to achieve a sustainable society. Region Stockholm's goal is forthe proportion of bicycle trips to more than double by 2030 and account for 20% of all trips in thecounty. Lack of maintenance and poor cycle paths account for about 60% of serious single accidentson bicycles. This increase consequently places high demands on the design and maintenance of thebicycle infrastructure. For the cycle path's comfort to be good, it is required that the cycle pathremains even, which can come into conflict with manhole covers, as subsidence often occur at andaround the manholes. The manhole covers can be experienced as unpleasant to cycle over and havelower friction than the surrounding surface. This can cause skidding, especially if the road surface iswet. Manhole covers are common on cycle paths, in this study 1 200 manhole covers were found onthe central parts of eleven regional cycle paths. These were of varying size, position in the cycle pathand height compared to the surrounding pavement. Manhole covers can be a potential obstacle oncycle paths, which reduces the available width of the cycle path. The available width of the cyclepath is the surface that is functionally possible to cycle on. Constructed width, on the other hand, isthe width the cycle path was built with without regard to any obstacles.The purpose of the study is to investigate whether manhole covers are considered an obstacle forcyclists on cycle paths and how the manhole covers affect the available width of the four study sites.The available width of the study sites is compared with recommended cycle path widths inguidelines. The study was delimited to strive for the equivalence of the study sites and that only theproperties of the manhole covers separated the study sites. Two types of manhole covers werestudied and these two types were also studied with and without edges.The results of the study show that there is a difference between situations with and without anoncoming cyclist. A majority of cyclists stay to the right of the manhole covers regardless ofoncoming cyclist or not, which may be due to their natural lateral position. When there is nooncoming cyclist, many choose to cycle to the left of the manhole covers. However, in situations ofencounter, almost no one chooses to cycle to the left of the manhole covers. The decrease in thenumber of cyclists to the left of the manhole covers at an encounter roughly corresponds to theincrease in the number of cyclists to the right of the manhole covers in the same situation. Thenumber who cycle over manhole covers differs marginally between situations with and withoutoncoming cyclists. This can be interpreted as cyclists changing sides of the manhole covers andavoiding cycling over them. At the four study sites, few people cycle over the manhole covers, whichmeans that these manhole covers should probably be seen as an obstacle that reduces the availablewidth.It can be stated that the manhole covers with edges are a greater obstacle than manhole coverswithout edges. More manholes need to be studied before it is possible to draw more generalconclusions about manhole covers on cycle paths. This applies to both the investigated manholesand other types of manholes.The available width of the study places was compared with the recommended cycle path widths inthese guidelines: “VGU”, “GCM-handboken”, “Stockholm County's regional cycle plan”, “Stockholm'scycle plan”, “Cykeln i staden” and “Solna's cycle plan”. The widths recommended in the guidelinesare not met in terms of the available width of the study places.

The theme of the work is revitalisation of the Brno rivers, specifically the river Svitava. The main idea of the work is the understanding the river as a city-building element, as a place of potential that every city should fully utilize. People like to spend their free time at the water and such a space should satisfy their needs. The river flows smoothly throught the city, and people should be able to move freely around it. In the ideal case, it should be a green path across urban area. The solved territory is situated in the Brno-Zábrdovice district, which hasn´t ideal reputation. Its image is shaped by, among others, industrial areas which are quite often derelict. My task was to correctly distribute one of these sites, which is located near the Zábrdovice Monastery. The solved territory is currently a non-coherent and inconsistent structure that does not support the image of the site. The river is completely supressed at this point and the movement around it is very limited. In my design I tried to create a place that would offer a lot of activities through the day. I have modified the functions I have in the territory and supported by my proposal to form a working entity together. In such a territory will meet people, who work or live here, who are using the services or come to sport or spend their free time in the pleasant environment of Svitava river.
