Data underlying the publication 'Negotiating the bicycle path: A study of moped user stereotypes and behaviours in the Netherlands'

This dataset corresponds to the study titled Negotiating the bicycle path: A study of moped user stereotypes and behaviours in the Netherlands’, authored by Clara Glachant and Frauke Behrendt and published in the journal <em>Transportation Research Part F: Traffic Psychology and Behaviour</em>. The question guiding the study is: How can a focus on moped user stereotypes help us unpack the spatial complexities of a transition toward more micromobility in the Netherlands? Drawing on mobility studies and social identity theory, this paper explores the stereotypes of moped users and their behaviours to understand the spatial complexities of a shift towards more micromobility in the Netherlands. By analysing interviews with moped users and how users are discussed in the press, the paper empirically maps stereotypes of the users of different mopeds i.e. (1) fuel-based and privately owned, (2) electric and privately owned, and (3) electric and rental, and their behaviour on the bicycle path. Our study shows how debates tend to focus on the behaviours of moped users and their interactions with cyclists on shared bicycle paths while the spatial domination of automobility remains unchallenged. Beyond the Dutch case, our article thus also exemplifies how conflict between different micromobilities often serves as a distraction from the real issue: the need to radically reduce automobility and systematically facilitate micromobility – in order to enable the urgently needed transition to low-carbon mobility. The dataset contains the list of documents analysed as research material for this study collected through the database Nexus Uni, the list of interviewees who took part in the study and the interview guide.

本数据集对应题为《协商自行车道：荷兰轻便摩托车（moped）使用者刻板印象与行为研究》的学术研究，作者为Clara Glachant与Frauke Behrendt，发表于期刊《交通研究F辑：交通心理与行为》(Transportation Research Part F: Traffic Psychology and Behaviour)。本研究的核心议题为：聚焦轻便摩托车使用者的刻板印象，能否帮助我们厘清荷兰向更普及的微移动出行（micromobility）转型过程中的空间复杂性？本研究依托移动出行研究与社会认同理论，通过分析轻便摩托车使用者的刻板印象与行为，探究该国微移动出行转型的空间复杂性。本研究通过对轻便摩托车使用者的访谈以及媒体对该群体的报道文本展开分析，实证勾勒出三类不同轻便摩托车使用者——即（1）燃油动力私有款使用者、（2）电动私有款使用者、（3）电动租赁款使用者——及其在自行车道上的行为相关的刻板印象图景。研究发现，当前相关讨论往往聚焦于轻便摩托车使用者的行为及其与骑行者在共享自行车道上的互动，却未对机动车出行的空间主导地位提出任何质疑。相较于荷兰本土案例，本研究还揭示了一个共性现象：不同微移动出行方式之间的冲突，往往会转移人们对核心议题的注意力——即亟需从根本上减少机动车出行，并系统性地扶持微移动出行，以推动向低碳移动出行的迫切转型。本数据集包含本研究通过Nexus Uni数据库采集的分析材料文档清单、参与本次研究的访谈对象名单以及访谈提纲。
