Abstract
Indonesia has committed to making a development transition in a low-carbon in the future. Increased use of private vehicles that are not controlled will lead to congestion and fuel consumption contributes to greenhouse gas emissions. One alternative mode of transportation that is environmentally friendly in sustainable transportation is cycling. This study aims to identify the factors that encourage and discourage the choice of modes of transportation by cycling, rank the choice of cycling facilities according to societys preferences and develop a strategy for developing bicycle facilities in Semarang City. From the results of factor analysis, factors that discourage the choice of cycling are discomfort, environment & safety, and daily activity. While the factors that encourage cycling choices is the pleasure factor. The assessment of cycling facilities was carried out by multiple attribute analysis with the highest rank results are bicycle lanes, bicycle parking, and signaling. One strategy for developing cycling facilities is in the form of bicycle lanes with continuous routes that are shady and connected to public transportation routes. These efforts are expected to reduce the factors that discourage the choice of cycling, and also for supporting tourism and the concept of Transit Oriented Development in Semarang City.
