dc.description.abstract | This paper analyses the usage of a pilot greenway in a rural environment in Ireland.
The path is 42 km long and has several settlements and schools located along the
route. A survey was conducted in five schools along the route, to determine the usage
of the greenway by students and staff in the schools. This enabled observations to be
made in relation to the usage of the greenway. Usage of the path is established by
means of
counters located along the route. Average hourly day profiles of usage along
the path were created for different scenarios. This allowed the differences in usage to
be examined. The impact of national and public holidays was also observed. Usage
patterns
are also analysed in relation to a number of weather variables. The
relationships are determined by means of regression analysis. The cost of construction
of the path is known and therefore by establishing the user numbers the cost per trip
can be calculated. The average spend of a tourist
in Ireland
is known, and the quantity
of tourists
needed to pay for the path is estimated.
The analysis in this paper determined that there is a strong increase in the
cycling and walking rate in the areas immediately
surrounding the Greenway in
persons accessing places of education. The paper also determined that usage is higher
when there is a combination of the following variables; temperature is above
13.15 C
and sunshine hours are between 9.4 and 2.3 hours | en |
