Dans le cadre d’un projet de recherche sur le vélo universitaire dans les campus de l’alliance SEA-EU, un partenariat de recherche entre l’Université de Bretagne Occidentale et l’Université de Malte s’est créé. Nous nous sommes rendus dans le plus petit pays européen et celui ayant la plus petite part modale du vélo pour comprendre comment sur une île aussi grande que l’île de Ré, les maltais utilisent la voiture pour quasiment tout, tout le temps, sur tous leurs trajets.
Cycle – EU : Bicycle as a vector of ecological transition in European universities.
This project aims to study the mobility habits of students and staff from different European Universities. Acting on short distance mobilities appears as a feasible short-term ecological transition that can be operated in few years on campus with an increase of bicycle use. To engage this shift, it is necessary to describe the factors that influence the mobility choices of members of the University community, and to guide mobility policies towards a model favoring the practice of active mobility. A quantitative study about cycling practices, already carried out in UBO in 2021, will be extended to Malta University during this project and completed by qualitative data (interviews) about mobility choices in Brest and Malta. This project will imply the Universities in the SEA-EU alliance that will be invited to the final workshop.
