| description | Bike-sharing has been widely recognized for addressing the “last-mile” problem and improving commuting efficiency. While prior studies emphasize how the built environment shapes feeder trips, the effects of station types and spatial heterogeneity on bike-sharing and metro integration remain insufficiently explored. Taking the urban core area of Shenzhen as a case study, this paper examines how the built environment influences such integration during morning peak hours and how these impacts differ across station types. First, we proposed a “3Cs” (convenience, comfort, and caution) framework to capture key built environment factors. Metro stations were classified into commercial, residential, and office types via K-means clustering. Subsequently, the ordinary least squares (OLS) regression model and the multiscale geographically weighted regression (MGWR) model were employed to identify significant factors and explore the spatial heterogeneity of these effects. Results reveal that factors influencing bike-sharing–metro integration vary by station type. While land-use mix and enclosure affect bike-sharing usage across all stations, employment and intersection density are only significant for commercial stations. Furthermore, these influences exhibit spatial heterogeneity. For instance, at office-oriented stations, population shows both positive and negative effects across areas, while residential density has a generally negative impact. These findings enhance our understanding of how the built environment shapes bike-sharing–metro integration patterns and support more targeted planning interventions. |
