Carsharing w Polsce – perspektywa operatorów i miast w pierwszym badaniu porównawczym

Abstracts

Głównym celem artykułu jest ocena świadomości i zrozumienia idei tzw. mobilności współdzielonej wśród przedstawicieli operatorów carsharingu i miast w jednym z pierwszych badań w Polsce. Zapytaliśmy dwie grupy interesariuszy – operatorów carsharingu (7 firm) i przedstawicieli miast (19 podmiotów) – o obecny stan i przyszłość mobilności współdzielonej. Badania ankietowe przeprowadzono za pomocą kwestionariuszy internetowych między styczniem a kwietniem 2018 r. Główne obserwacje są następujące. Po pierwsze, transport publiczny jest jednym z podstawowych obszarów decydujących o jakości życia obywateli, a polskie miasta zdają sobie z tego sprawę. Podczas gdy koncepcja Smart City i inteligentna mobilność są na wczesnym etapie rozwoju, władze miasta szukają optymalnych rozwiązań podnoszących jakość transportu publicznego, w tym eksperymentują z mobilnością współdzieloną i carsharingiem. Po drugie, rynek carsharingu w Polsce jest stosunkowo młody, a biorąc pod uwagę dane z bardziej rozwiniętych rynków (np. z Niemiec), możemy spodziewać się szybkiego jego wzrostu w kolejnych latach. Wiele podmiotów z różnych środowisk (firmy energetyczne, wypożyczalnie samochodów, władze miejskie) wkracza na rynek mobilności współdzielonej. Po trzecie, kluczowymi czynnikami decydującymi o przyszłym rozwoju rynku carsharingu będą: a) ścisła współpraca między miastami i operatorami w celu uzupełnienia różnych form wspólnej mobilności i zapewnienia ich dostępności; b) dostępność miejsc parkingowych przeznaczonych dla samochodów współdzielonych.

The main goal of the paper is to assess the awareness and understanding of the so-called shared mobility among the representatives of car sharing operators and cities in one of the first studies on this issue undertaken in Poland. We asked two groups of stakeholders in Poland – car sharing operators (7 companies) and cities (19 entities) – about the current state and the future of shared mobility. Research was conducted using web questionnaires between January and April 2018. The main observations are as follows. Firstly, public transport is one of the main areas determining citizens’ quality of life, and Polish cities seem to realize it. While the Smart City concept and smart mobility are at an early stage of development, city authorities search for optimal solutions increasing the quality of public transport, including experimentation with shared mobility and car sharing. Secondly, the car sharing market in Poland is relatively young and, taking into consideration data from more developed car sharing markets (e.g. Germany), we can expect that it will grow rapidly in the next years. Many entities from different backgrounds (energy companies, car rental companies, municipal authorities) are entering the Polish shared mobility market. Thirdly, the critical factors which will be decisive for the future development of the car sharing market are: a) close cooperation between cities and operators to make different forms of shared mobility and their accessibility more complementary, b) availability of parking spaces dedicated to car sharing services.
