【 摘 要 】

In an era marked by global warming, energy conservation and carbon reduction are increasingly prioritized by national and local governments, companies and individuals. The bicycle is emerging as an important tool for reducing the overall volume of traffic, protecting the environment and conserving energy, as well as improving individuals' health and relieving their stress. Therefore, environmental demand for cycleway is garnering increased attention. The cycleway built by Taichung City's government include the Gaomei Cycleway, a coastal route famous for its seascapes and sunsets, and surrounded by rich ecological resources. This study uses Gaomei as a case for exploring the city's maintenance and management strategies for its cycleway. Specifically, it looks at the varying demands placed on Gaomei and the system in general by leisure users and commuters. Importance-Performance Analysis (IPA) was used to review bikers' strategy recommendations generated from a questionnaire covering four facets: safety, continuity, service facilities, and environment. The results of IPA indicate that bike commuters give more weight of the safety and continuity facets due to the high frequency with which they use the system, whereas leisure are more attuned to the other two facets.
