Anotace: Utilizing bicycles as a mode of transportation is pivotal for transitioning towards a low-carbon city. It is essential to explore the factors that influence bicycle use to help provide regulatory recommendations and plan the implementation of bicycle transport. This study extensively examines the factors impacting bicycle usage to propose policies to facilitate bicycle transport implementation. Based on survey data collected from public transport and bicycle users, the research highlights two predominant factors shaping bicycle use in Yogyakarta: individual travel characteristics, particularly first-mile needs and mileage, and a positive correlation between income and bicycle adoption. Conversely, distinct external land uses offer varying incentives, notably favoring high-density areas like trade and service zones, further supported by proximity to bicycle parking facilities. These findings empower urban planners and policymakers to craft effective policies and utilize the potential of a bicycle transportation system.
