新型コロナウィルス(以下、Covid-19)のパンデミックにより、世界中で人々の移動が制限される中、公共交通機関の利用を回避する傾向が拡大している。ダバオでもジープニー内での乗客同士の間隔を確保するなどの対策が取られているが、ここにきて最も伝統的な移動手段である自転車が、にわかに注目され始めている。
サラ・ドゥテルテ市長も自転車レーンの必要性とその他の要件を含むルート計画の提示を示唆するなど、その注目度は行政レベルまで広がっている。市長は、自転車は環境と公衆衛生にとってより優れた健康的な選択肢であると述べる一方、安全性への懸念についても言及している。自転車レーンの設置には道路の整備も必要となってくるため、課題は山積だ。現にダバオ市の幹線道路では、荷物の積み下ろしやジプニーの乗降車などで、すでに最も外側のレーンは使用されているという場所が多い。歩行者や自動車とのすみ分けをどう進めるかが重要なカギとなりそうだ。
ダバオニュースの裏側へ！
Thank you for your continued support of Davao’s portal site “Davaotchi”. “Davaotchi” is an information portal about Davao that has been running for about seven and a half years since September 2016 with the aim of conveying the charms of Davao to Japanese people in Japanese and making them more aware of Davao. Thanks to everyone’s support, we have gained a certain amount of recognition, such as being featured in a magazine, and many people have started to hear the term “Dabaotchi”. On the other hand, we have prioritized the mission of conveying the charms of Davao to as many Japanese people as possible, so there is almost no profitability, and we have allocated the profits generated from other businesses to the site management, but we have no plans for the future. As a result of careful consideration of scalability and development, Davaotchi has decided to recruit supporters who can support Davaotchi in order to better manage the site. We considered charging for the site or introducing a subscription plan, but we wanted to deliver information about Davao to as many people as possible, so we decided to simply ask for support from Davaochi fans first. You can support us using PayPal or credit card (debit card) below. We look forward to your cooperation. See more news articles
