Abstract
In recent years, the quality of riverside space has been taken seriously. The riverside bikeway takes a main role in the planning and building of the riverside parks in Taipei, and people are encouraged to be more active along the riverside. However, conflict events appear more and more frequently by the increasing of quality and quantity of the use. Conflict events are especially happening between bike riders. This research is based on the experience of bike riders: First of all, the researcher analyzed riders’ riding experience of riverside bikeway. Second, articles of riding conflict on internet are aggregated, and bike riders those who have conflict experience are interviewed. Through the conflict experience, the researcher focused on exposing what riders really faced in riding conflict: what they thought, how they acted, and what kinds of strategies they took to deal with crisis, how they adjusted themselves to adapt to conflict situations. Mutual influences between riders and the environment are also noted. By realizing real riding environment of the riverside bikeway，the researcher tried to find out the potential in three parts: building and planning, riding concepts, and the management. The researcher suggested that the riverside parks which have similar patterns of usage should be integrated. And riverside bikeways should be established to respond the diversity of riding patterns. Finally, systems of route mark should be united, and the authorities of management and security should integrate the information and resources which they own.
