Abstract

The rapid growth of dockless bike-sharing has revolutionized urban transportation. However, the disorderly parking of dockless shared bikes has emerged as a critical challenge, significantly hindering the benefits of this system by causing obstructions, safety hazards, and public nuisance. This study aims to investigate users’ orderly parking behavior of dockless shared bikes through the lens of deterrence theory. Our findings reveal that punishment severity, punishment certainty, personal norm, and descriptive norm have significant positive effects on users’ attitudes towards orderly parking, which in turn positively influences their orderly parking behavior. This study contributes to the literature by extending the application of deterrence theory to the context of dockless bike-sharing and providing empirical evidence on the role of deterrence factors in shaping users’ orderly parking behavior. Our findings offer valuable insights for bike-sharing operators and policymakers to develop effective strategies.

聪明停车，否则遭殃：从威慑理论的角度理解用户有序停放无桩共享单车的行为

无桩共享单车的快速发展彻底改变了城市交通。然而，无桩共享单车的无序停放已成为一个严峻的挑战，它造成了障碍、安全隐患和公害，严重阻碍了该系统效益的发挥。本研究旨在通过威慑理论的视角，研究用户对无桩共享单车的有序停放行为。我们的研究结果表明，惩罚的严重程度、惩罚的确定性、个人规范和描述性规范对用户的有序停放态度有显著的积极影响，而用户的有序停放态度又反过来对用户的有序停放行为产生积极影响。本研究将威慑理论应用于无桩共享单车，并提供了威慑因素在影响用户有序停放行为方面作用的实证证据，从而为相关文献做出了贡献。我们的研究结果为共享单车运营商和政策制定者制定有效策略提供了有价值的见解。
