Pro-Environmental Forms of Transport in the Experience and Perception of Tourists Visiting Warsaw

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this study was to explore the perception and use of pro-environmental forms of transport in Warsaw. The study involved an analysis of source materials and a survey conducted on a sample of 550 people. The survey was created on the Survio platform and shared on social media to reach people who visited Warsaw at least once. The forms of transport selected for the study included: city bikes, electric city scooters and cars available via Uber service and car sharing platforms BlaBlaCar and JadeZabiore. The research sought answers to the following questions: What is the actual level of use and interest in the analyzed forms of transport? What are the motives and barriers determining the use of these forms of transport? How do socio-demographic variables differentiate the use of the studied forms of transport? What are the benefits and threats to the development of the analyzed forms of transport? The research shows that the use and interest in the analyzed forms of transport varied. The respondents found city bikes and Uber most useful while scooters were considered the least needed. Variables like gender, age and size of household to a certain extent influenced the use of city bikes, Uber and scooters. The amount of net disposable income per person was not a differentiating variable. The analyzed forms of transport generate threats (e.g. regarding safety) but also benefits, such as reduction of costs and air pollution.
