Hub and Spokes: Imageability of the Daily Bicycle Commuter in New York City
In a city that is dominated by the automobile I want to find out how its residents who use other modes of transportation actually view the built environment. While all forms of transit modes could be studied, I find that this small minority (0.5% of residents who commute by bike) would make for an interesting study. The sole purpose is to record the subjective perspective (mental image/imageability) New York City bicycle commuters have of the build environment, good or bad, through a survey. The survey is 23 questions and will take less than 10 minutes to complete. No compensation will be provided for participation in this study.
It is anticipated that 100 individuals will participate in this study. Participation in this study is voluntary, and refusal to participate will involve no penalty or loss of benefits to which you are entitled. You must be 18 or older to participate in the study. If you have questions about the study, you can contact the researcher, Matthew Ides at (917) 627-4445/mides@hunter.cuny.edu or his faculty advisor, Prof. John Chin, at (212) 772- 5603.
