Building Conservation through Cycling: Exploring the Relationship between Bicycling and Environmental Conservation
نویسنده
چکیده
This research reports on an investigation of the relationship between individuals’ biking behavior and their views on environmental sustainability. It was hypothesized that there would be a significant difference between those who regularly bicycle and those who rarely or never bicycle and their sustainable behaviors. This quantitative study used a survey of 169 people from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and from the Lincoln, NE community. The survey was hosted online using Qualtrics Survey Software© and included questions about individuals’ sustainable practices, as well as questions about their bicycling habits. The results showed that there was no significant difference in sustainable practices between people who regularly bicycle and those who do not. This leads us to believe that people who cycle are doing so for reasons other than concern for the environment. The information gathered in this research may also help to encourage bicycling in Lincoln, NE and provide some insight and guidance for how the city can encourage sustainability through bicycling.
