| Sumario: | Although many cities are promoting urban cycling, they do not analyse behavioural patterns or barriers faced during cycling with geospatial technologies. This thesis, placed within the fields of geoinformatics and serious games, aims to help both citizens and cities to better understand cyclist behaviour and mobility patterns. We analyse how the incentives of geo-games might increase urban cycling engagement and, through this engagement, crowdsource cycling data collection and comprehend cycling patterns. We designed a between-groups experiment to measure the impact of virtual rewards provided by a geo-game on the levels of intention, satisfaction, and engagement with cycling. Then, to identify the frictions which potentially inhibit bicycle commuting, we analysed the bicycle trips crowdsourced with the geo-game.The results support the use of collaboration-based rewards in game-based applications to promote urban cycling and describe 284 places potentially having frictions in three European cities. This thesis encompasses the cyclist and city perspectives of using mobile technologies to crowdsource cycling data collection and analyse urban cycling. |
