Abstract

This manuscript analyzes how the bicycle is treated by different local planning and management instruments (IPTL) in the city of Santiago. To this end, we analyzed the Communal Regulatory Plans, Community Development Plans (PLADECO), Investment Plans in Mobility Infrastructure and Public Space (PIIMEP), and other instruments, of the 35 capital communes (74 instruments), which were grouped into six functional zones. Firstly, the appearance of the words bicycle (s) and cycle path (s) was recorded. Then, the initiatives aiming at encouraging or regulating cycling were classified into six dimensions (regulations, safety and dissemination, financing, infrastructure, citizen participation and plans). Finally, the communes with the most initiatives to promote cycling and the presence of bicycles in their IPTL were identified. The results show important differences in the initiatives to promote cycling by area, with the central east having the most initiatives and recent instruments. In turn, the most frequent initiatives refer to infrastructure and plans, while the least frequent initiatives refer to regulatory incentives. Finally, the three communes that give the greatest importance to bicycles in their IPTL are the communes of Providencia, Renca and Vitacura.
