In order to vitalize the use of bicycles, central and local governments have invested time and considerable amounts of money constructing bicycle infrastructure. However, as with many policies, this is being promoted as provider oriented infrastructural policy. Recently opened bicycle paths along the 4 major rivers were also constructed from a provider point of view. However, studies on the user satisfaction of leisure-type bicycle paths are absent. This thesis intends to present an improvement plan for analyzing factors affecting the satisfaction of leisure-type bicycle paths from the perspective of users and can improve user satisfaction. For this purpose, among national bicycle paths traversing the 4 major rivers, a user satisfaction survey was performed with the Yongsan River bicycle path as the subject. The satisfaction survey method utilized was developed from the aspect of 3 measurement items based on focuse group interviews and previous studies. The questionnaire survey was conducted by using a questionnaire that had been developed. Factor analysis was performed using the results of the questionnaire and the data was then verified through correlation analysis and reliability analysis. Multiple regression analysis was performed using 3 factors which were the result of factor analysis. Results of this analysis revealed landscape(.474) and cycling environment(.314) as the primary statistically significant bicycle path user satisfaction factors. Based on the results of multiple regression analysis, to increase user satisfaction of bicycle paths, proposals for improvement measures were presented from two aspects. In order to improve the riding environment, it is proposed that additional riding safety facilities are installed and the state of the path surface is improved. In order to improve the landscape, it is proposed that landscaping and facilities to provide shade where the user can rest are supplemented.
