University Student Bicycle Use and Social Sustainability Survey Data from Turkey

Amasya University in Turkey was selected as the case study area for this mixed-methods research on sustainable mobility awareness. The dataset, created by Sedef Şendoğdu and last updated in April 2026, contains results from attitude analysis, surveys, and field observations of university students. It examines how awareness levels across different academic disciplines shape the social dimension of sustainable transportation.

Use Cases

• Analyzing differences in bicycle use by gender and income group based on reported survey percentages.
• Modeling the influence of socio-cultural pressures on cycling behavior based on faculty-specific findings.
• Investigating primary motivations for cycling, such as health benefits, based on stated participant reasons.
• Studying the role of social sustainability indicators like equity and cultural values on transportation choices.

Strengths

• Includes specific quantitative findings, such as 60% bicycle use among female students and 73.2% among middle- and low-income groups.
• Combines quantitative survey data with qualitative field observations for an integrated evaluation.
• Explicitly examines under-researched social dimensions of sustainable transportation.
• Released under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license for reuse.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The 5.5 KB file size indicates a very small dataset with limited scope.
