Micro-mobility programs have been proposed worldwide. Despite various previous literature, a comprehensive conceptualization has not been accomplished. Therefore, with a qualitative Meta-Synthesis; we re-introduce and define this style of transportation and answer questions about the criteria for determining micro-mobility, types of micro-mobility, its applications in cities, and its advantages and disadvantages, its main role in urban transportation in future cities and the current market, and its future forecast. The results showed that there is no specific and comprehensive definition to explain micro-mobility and its determining indicators are different and their value is changing according to technological changes. micro-mobility plays a unique role in future cities under the livable city concept with a predicted exponential usage growth, as it has a complementary role to public transportation.

This expansion has occurred both through the development of existing cities and the emergence of new cities. (Coretti Sanchez et al., 2022) Statistics show that the proportion of urbanization in the world has been increasing in recent decades. In 2008, for the first time, global urban transition took place, in other words, more than half of the world's population (3 billion and 300 million people) lived in urban areas, based on this, the United Nations named 2008 the year of urbanization. According to the World Bank report, in 2022, about 56% of the world's population (4.4 billion people) live in cities, this trend is expected to continue until 7 out of 10 people live in cities in 2050. (World Bank, 2022) The expansion of urbanization has various advantages and disadvantages. Cities generate more than 80% of the world's GDP, which, if well managed, contribute to the sustainable growth of societies through increased productivity and innovation. (World Bank, 2022) On the other hand, urbanization and its rapid rate lead to challenges such as imbalance in the landscape and body of cities, lack of housing and its price increase, lack of viable infrastructure including transportation systems, basic services and jobs and rise in social injustice, population density and related issues. Among them are the increase in traffic, climate change and environmental pollution and environmental destruction, variety of social pathological issues, and challenges in providing urban services including electricity, water, health facilities and waste management. (Kolomak, 2012; Tan, Yang & Niu, 2022; World Bank, 2022) For example, cities produce approximately 78% of carbon emissions and significant air pollutants, which has caused about 90% of the world's citizens to live in areas that exceed safe levels in the World Health Organization's air quality guidelines. (Liang & Gong, 2020) As mentioned, one of the problems of urbanization in the world is the increase in population and traffic, which studies show that population and traffic are two major factors that affect air quality in the process of urbanization. The increase in the population of cities has increased the movement of citizens in the city to access urban facilities and receive urban services, and the increase in movement by private car has caused negative side effects such as pollution in different cities of the world (Todd, O'Brien, & Cheshire, 2019). Zhang et al. (2022) state that every one percent increase in population density causes a 0.019 percent decrease in air quality. Public transportation such as the subway plays an important role in improving air quality. Therefore, in conclusion, it can be said that with the development of cities, the importance of transportation increases, and as a result, the existing transportation problems show themselves more and more. These problems include significant public transportation infrastructure costs, raising costs of using public transportation, as well as lack of accessibility and structural problems in the urban transportation network, increase in personal transportation, and its subsequent issues like, inefficient fuel consumption, pollution, parking problems, increase in accidents and time wasted in traffic jams. (Omayer, 2022; Masood, Khan, Naqvi, 2011) On the other hand, various initiative and concepts have been formalized regarding the future of cities, such as smart, innovative, sustainable, livable, environmentally friendly, green, competent, etc., and transportation plays an essential role in each of these types of cities. Therefore, due to the emergence of complications caused by the expansion of cities as well as the diversity of cities' missions, city managers have sought a more sustainable urban transportation system. For this purpose and based on the emergence of new methods and emerging technologies, the paradigm of urban transportation is changing from transportation by vehicle to transportation as a service. (Medina-Molina et al., 2022) In this context, the new modes of personal transportation that have been proposed under the name of micro0mobility deal with the use of small and light vehicles such as electronic scooters and electric bicycles. Because this mode of urban transportation is new and has different effects and applications, and it can help reduce the problems caused by traffic and air pollution as a new method along with other urban transportation methods and plays an important role in creating a sustainable urban transportation system in future cities, it is practically necessary to pay attention to this transportation and on the other hand, despite the fact that various studies have explained this phenomenon, but a comprehensive conceptualization has not been achieved in the theoretical foundations of this field, therefore, understanding this concept in the scientific community is also a theoretical necessity. Therefore, the main goal of this article is to introduce micro-mobility and explain its role in the urban transportation systems in future cities. In this regard, understanding the concept of micro-mobility in the scientific literature along with its advantages and disadvantages and its role in the future of cities is of significant importance, which is discussed in this article. Literature Review Although the term micro-mobility has been mentioned in the scientific literature since 2017, many articles have been compiled about it, and as shown in Figure 1, the number of articles that use the term micro-mobility in its title has been increasing. Some studies have focused more on the introduction of micro-mobility, its history and its potential in cities. (Reed, 2019) and others have examined the applications and benefits by focusing on one type of this transportation, for example, a bicycle or a scooter, and then discussed the features of shared plans in this type of transportation. For example, various studies including Oeschger, Carroll, and Caulfield (2020), Esztergár-Kiss and Lopez Lizarraga (2021), Abduljabbar et al. (2021), Bretones and Marquet et al. (2022) They have stated the applications and benefits of micro-mobility. Other studies have investigated the disadvantages and factors affecting the use and type of use of these devices. Articles such as Aguilera-García et al. (2020), Fishman et al. (2014; 2015), Serra et al. (2021) and Fonseca-Cabrera et al. (2021) have addressed the disadvantages of this mode of transportation. Also, in this regard, several articles have reviewed the literature on micro-mobility. These researches, while stating that valuable research studies have been conducted in the field of micro-mobility, but the body of the conducted researches are considered to be completely scattered. (Abduljabbar et al., 2021) And they have tried to integrate each part of it. In this context, Oeschger, Carroll, and Caulfield (2020) with a systematic review of the literature related to the bicycle sharing systems, by reviewing the articles until August 2020, state that Micro-mobility is a means of access to public transportation, if micro-mobility is integrated with public transportation; It has the potential to replace private cars. Abduljabbar et al. (2021) reviewed articles from the Scopus database between 2000 and 2020 and found that studies in this field are on the rise, showing micro-mobility as a transformative and sustainable low-carbon urban transportation mode. They have examined the benefits, technology, policy, and categories of behavioral mode selection in studies. Liao and Correi (2022) reviewed the literature related to electronic shared transportation to examine the usage pattern, demand estimation and their potential effects. Bretones and Marquet et al. (2022) have reviewed the related literature by focusing on socio-psychological factors affecting people's intention to use electronic transportation mode. Elmashhara et al. (2022) have also investigated the factors influencing the behavior of users of shared micro-mobility systems with a systematic literature review. Other articles have different opinions regarding the effects of micro-mobility. Bozzi and Aguilera (2021) have done a systematic review of the current knowledge about uses and users, health and environmental effects and policy issues in the field of micro-mobility. Their results showed that the use of electronic scooters has a high risk of accidents in the eyes of people, and there are also conflicting opinions regarding the environmental effect of these devices, so that although these devices reduce pollution, they are polluting in terms of production and materials, especially battery and charging. Examining the review articles in this field show that, firstly, these articles mostly focused on a specific type of micro-mobility (generally shared bicycle) or examined a specific function of it (such as integration with the public transportation system). On the other hand, although the advantages and effects of this mode of transportation have been investigated, it has different and sometimes conflicting opinions, so the present study, explains the definitions of micro-mobility, its criteria and its variations, its advantages and disadvantages, its effects and functions, and it analyzes its market and the different roles of this type of urban mobility, especially in different types of future cities. Although, the previous studies, both review and non-review studies, have clarified aspects of micro-mobility, but there is no particular coherence between the studies in relation to the mentioned cases, so the Meta-Synthesis method has been used to interpret and combine the findings of these studies. Research Methodology The nature of this and its purpose is practical as it seeks to provide suggestions and guidelines for the use of micro-mobility in urban transportation. In terms of strategy and method, qualitative (library study) and Meta-Synthesis methods have been used in this article. In terms of the subject area of the research, the articles related to all types of micro-mobility in the city are targeted, and in terms of time, the articles from 2017 onwards have been examined because the term micro-mobility was first expressed in 2017 (Liao and Correi,2022). As mentioned in this article, the Qualitative Meta-Synthesis method has been used. This method analyzes the data, theories and research method of the subject literature (Paterson et al., 2001) and It seeks to build a new theory, develop a conceptual model, identify existing gaps, integrate findings, provide a new explanation of the studied phenomenon, and expand the understanding of new knowledge. (Atkins et al., 2008) In other words, Meta-Synthesis is done in order to combine past studies (combination of previous combinations). This method includes 6 steps: stating the problem and setting research questions, searching for sources, evaluating quality, analyzing studies, combining findings, and validating findings. (Sandelowski & Barroso, 2007) Figure 2 shows the research framework. In general, this research was done in 4 general stages and 6 steps. In the first stage, the main problem and research questions were defined. Then search and resource selection was performed, and in the next step, the data was obtained from the selected sources were examined and analyzed. In the final stage, the results were summarized. mentioned in the following are the summary of research framework, introduction each step of the Meta-Synthesis method, the work done in each step and their results and findings. 1. The first step: statement of the problem and formulation of research questions: In this step, along with defining and stating the problem, the research questions related to the stated problem and the inclusion and exclusion criteria of the articles in the review are also determined. As mentioned earlier, various articles have been done in the field of micro-mobility and review articles have also been done in this field, but each one focuses on a part of micro-mobility and the comprehensive definition, functions and benefits of this method of transportation have not been properly explained, although Due to the expansion of urbanization and the increase in the population of cities and consequently traffic and air pollution, there is a need to design new transportation systems whose function and advantage is to reduce traffic and air pollution and develop the use of public transportation. Therefore, this article seeks a clearer and comprehensive understanding of micro-mobility and providing a general picture of it by answering the central question (the main question) " What type of transportation is micro-mobility and what is its place in the urban transportation system? " and the following sub-questions are: What is the comprehensive definition of micromobility? What are the criteria for determining micromobility? According to the comprehensive definition, what are the types of micromobility? What are the uses of micromobility in cities? What will be the advantages and disadvantages of micromobility in cities? What is the main role of micromobility in urban transportation in future cities? What place will micromobility have in the future of cities? 2. The second step: search for sources: At this stage, the search for resources in databases is done by determining keywords, databases and time period, language, etc. In this study, Google Scholar and Elsevier database were searched for articles that include Mictomobility, Micro-mobility in their title, abstract and/or keywords. Search criteria includes: 1. Articles that have been published in ISI's indexed prestigious journals. 2. Articles that have Micromobility and/or Micro-mobility in the title, abstract and keywords. 3. Articles that have mentioned in their findings the definition of micro-mobility, the expression of advantages or disadvantages, its applications, its market and its relationship with other transportation systems. Search resulted in 477 articles that were entered the next stage to determine suitable articles for evaluation. 3. The third step: quality assessment: After searching and selecting the desired sources, at this stage, the articles were examined individually by the research team and initially evaluated (Figure 3), finally 198 articles were selected for analysis. According to Figure 4, the reviewed articles have been published in various journals, they were in the fields of transportation, fuel, and environment. 4. Fourth step: analysis of studies: At this stage, the reviewed articles and primary data were extracted and analyzed and categorized. The table below is an example of gathering information from an article. Table 1. Sample Descriptive Table of Primary Data Extracted from Articles Idea and main findings of the article Name of authors (year of publication) Article code The rapid expansion of micromobility has forced both urban planners and transport planners to deal with the presence of a large number of new vehicles of different sizes and technologies compared to the traditional vehicles in circulation. In urban areas in particular, the widespread use of e-scooters makes technicians and administrations think about how to redesign urban spaces to accommodate the new form of mobility. Many European countries have started to introduce rules for new users, some of which equate e-scooters with bicycles. However, it is necessary to focus on some specific aspects of this mode of transport, namely safety, access to main points of interest and integration with public transport. Ignaccolo et al. (2022) 1 5. The fifth step: combination of findings: At this stage, based on the non-linear process of thinking, interpretation, creation, theorizing and feedback; Findings are combined (Paterson et al., 2001). This step is explained in detail in the research findings and discussion and conclusion section. 6. The sixth step: validation of findings: The validation process continues from the beginning to the end of the research process. Sandelowski & Barroso (2007) introduce four types of validation for meta-synthesis: 1) Descriptive validation: identifying all related reports and identifying the characteristics of each report, 2) Interpretive validation: presenting the full understanding and point of view of researchers from the reports, 3) Theoretical Validation: the validity of the methods developed and used by the Meta-Synthesis in order to integrate and interpret research findings, and 4) pragmatic validation: in the sense of the usefulness, transferability of knowledge, applicability and appropriateness of the Meta-Synthesis methodology. In this research, validating findings were performed by using the independent search of sources by two people (descriptive method), consultation of the project team and combination of opinions (interpretive method), consultation with Meta-Synthesis expert (theoretical method) and consultation with the urban transportation official (pragmatic method). (Sandelowski & Barroso, 2007). Results After identifying and extracting the primary data, the research questions have been answered. Question 1: Comprehensive definition of micro-mobility Although various definitions of micromobility have been presented, the focus of most articles is based on the definition of The International Transport Forum (ITF) (2020), which also defined micromobility based on the kinetic energy of vehicles as follows: "vehicles with a mass of no more than 350 kg (771 lb) and a design speed no higher than 45 km/h". This definition limits the kinetic energy of the micro mobility vehicle to 27 kJ, which is one hundredth of the kinetic energy of a compact car at maximum speed (The International Transport Forum (ITF), 2020). In other definitions, either the type of driving force of these devices, including electric or human power, has been discussed (Sanjaya et al., 2020) or it has been described qualitatively (Bozzi and Aguilera (2021); Fonseca-Cabrera et al. (2021)) or the type of device in it is specified (O'Hern and Estgfaeller (2022); Shaheen et al. (2020)). The table below shows the different definitions of micro-mobility. Although there are many similarities between the definitions, there is no inclusive and exclusive definition among these definitions that can clearly define micro - mobility. Table 2. Definitions of Micromobility No. Definition Reference 1 vehicles with a mass of no more than 350 kg (771 lb) and a design speed no higher than 45 km/h The International Transport Forum (ITF) (2020) 2 Micromobility is defined as a small means of transportation that fully or partially uses human power, such as shared bicycles with and without stations (including e-bikes) and shared scooters National Association of City Transportation Officials (NACTO) (2019) 3 Micromobility refers to small and light modes of transportation (less than 500 kg) with a speed of less than 25 km/h, most of which are used individually, such as using a bicycle, and in a standing position, such as a scooter . Şengül and Mostofi (2021) 4 Micromobility is defined as a human-powered or electric vehicle with a maximum speed of 25 km/h and a weight of less than 500 kg. Hospital trolleys for delivering medical supplies are one of the examples of micromobility Sanjaya et al. (2020) 5 Micromobility refers to vehicles that are low speed, small, lightweight and usually used for short trips Institute for Transportation and Development Policy (ITDP) (2021) 6 Micromobility includes all vehicles that are easy to carry or ride and increase pedestrian traffic . Fonseca-Cabrera et al. (2021) 7 Micromobility refers to trips made by a wide range of small vehicles. Micro-vehicles include traditional and emerging types of light vehicles, from conventional bicycles and mopeds to e-bikes and e-scooters, e-skateboards and hoverboards . O’Hern and Estgfaeller (2022) 8 The word micro can refer to both the type of vehicle (light, with a small footprint) and the distance traveled (usually short). The term micromobility covers a range of personal, light and low-speed vehicles Bozzi and Aguilera (2021) 9 Using bicycles, scooters or small vehicles for usually short urban trips Shaheen et al. (2020) 10 Micromobility is small transportation devices designed for human-scale movement Bao & Lim (2022) Question 2: Micro-mobility determination criteria The review of articles shows that just as there is no comprehensive definition and barrier for micro-mobility, there is no agreement on the criteria for determining micromobility and its amount, and even some criteria are dependent on other factors. While the International Transport Forum (ITF) (2020) emphasizes the amount of kinetic energy, weight, speed and driving force, in the classification of The Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), there are four criteria for classifying micro-mobility vehicles: Weight up to 227 kg, maximum width of 1.5 meters, maximum speed of 48 km/h and electric or combustion engine power source. Using a four-factor classification, the American Society of Automotive Engineers distinguishes six types of electric micro-mobility: electric bicycles, electric stand-up scooters, electric sit-down scooters, electric self-balancing boards, electric non-self-balancing boards, and electric skates (The Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), 2018). Other studies have also considered the criteria of distance, place of use and type of device while paying attention to the above criteria (Shaheen et al. (2020)). There is no consensus on the value of these criteria and various factors that affect it. For example, the type of vehicle is related to the distance. In this context, Schwinger et al. (2022) and Şengül and Mostofi (2021) and Vetturi et al. (2023) state that e-bike trips are significantly longer than e-scooters. E-scooters are mainly used for trips shorter than 2 km and e-bikes are often used for trips of 4 km. Moinse (2022) estimated the distance from the home or workplace to the public transportation station, i.e., the distance that is suitable for using micro-mobility, to be 3 to 4 kilometers and states that proper planning of the transportation network is necessary to achieve and maintain this distance and the existence of suitable parking for micro-mobility. Şengül and Mostofi (2021) state that micro-mobility should be used for all trips with different travel purposes that are less than 8 km, which accounts for 50-60% of all trips in China, the EU and the United States. Therefore, it can be assumed that micro-mobility may replace the majority of car trips, since it is known that most car trips are made for a distance of less than 8 km. They also state that a review of micro-mobility regulations and restrictions shows that various countries are seeking to legalize the use of this device by limiting age and speed. Regarding speed regulations for these vehicles, the limit in Poland is 25 km/h. The speed limit in Chicago and Oregon is approximately 24 km/h, with the exception that in Oregon there is a contradiction, as micromobility vehicles must not travel slower than traffic speed (approximately 40 km/h) (Şengül and Mostofi., 2021). Kazemzadeh & Sprei (2022) state that the type of vehicle is effective in determining the speed and the speed varies from 15 to 45 km/h depending on the vehicle. It should also be said that technology and the use of electric propulsion has changed the value of the criteria. For example, the increase in distance and speed has been due to the increase in the level of technology and the emergence and expansion of the use of electronic devices (Schwinger et al. (2022)). As it is clear from Table 3, 8 criteria have been specified for determining micro-mobility, but based on different definitions, the amount of these criteria is different and there is no consensus in this field. Table 3.

(2020) Internal Combustion or electric The Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) (2018) Question 3: Types of micro-mobility In order to identify the types of micro-mobility based on the identified definitions and criteria, it can be said that in most studies, the articles have focused on a specific type of micro-mobility, especially shared systems and on bicycles and scooters. While micro-mobility devices can be classified based on different types, as shown in Table 4. Table 4. Diversity of Micromobility No. Diversity in/ Based on Description Examples 1 Propulsion Type Human Powered one-wheeled balancing boards, pedal bikes, kick scooters, skateboards, wheelchairs.

(2022) state that Ducktrains, which are autonomous light electric vehicles for delivering cargo in the city, are a type of micro-mobility. Question 4: Reasons for and applications of using micro-mobility Micro-mobility has two main applications, entertainment and need based (to reach entertainment centers, workplaces and schools, public transportation and to meet personal needs and make purchases). These needs are mostly personal and few studies have been done on its application to businesses and organizations. Ducktrains et al. (2022) mentioned crowdshipping through micromobility. They state that due to the growth of e-commerce, new options for delivery of goods (such as mass transit) and small electric transportation or micromobility (e-bikes and e-scooters) have been expanded which causes sustainable transportation, replacing personal cars with micromobility while delivering goods in a short time. An important factor affecting the use of micromobility is the level of infrastructure safety by ensuring the existence of bicycle lanes that are either physically or temporarily separated. They also refer to generating income through mass transportation by micromobility. The reasons for using micromobility in the subject literature are presented in Table 5. Table 5.

(2022) As it is clear from Figure 5, the use of micromobility to reach public transportation such as bus, taxi, subway and train is the most frequent among the micromobility applications mentioned in the literature. Question 5: Advantages and disadvantages of micromobility The review of the literature showed that the benefits of micromobility can be divided into two categories: direct and indirect benefits. Direct benefits are benefits that affect transportation, such as easier access to public transportation, less use of private vehicles, and sustainable transportation. Indirect benefits are benefits that result from the effects of using this type of transportation on citizens, such as increasing access to services and opportunities in the city, reducing travel time and cost, reducing energy and fuel consumption, and improving health. It should be noted that there are conflicting opinions in the articles regarding the benefits of micromobility. Some studies have pointed out the effects of micromobility on reducing pollution and improving health. For example, Oeschger, Carroll, and Caulfield (2020) state that the combination of micromobility and public transportation; Along with the current benefits of public transportation results in increased access, speed and convenience, and provides “Door to Door” that will significantly enhance accessibility. Also, Liao and Correi (2022) state that micromobility has positive effects on transportation and the environment (such as reducing car use, car ownership and greenhouse gas emissions). Dias and Ribeiro (2021) state that micromobility in cities has been strongly associated with environmental, social and economic benefits. Its use is mostly to connect to public transport to promote first and last miles of the trips. Their results show increased health and time saving. Martínez et al. (2019) have estimated the total value of socio-economic effects (impact on the economy and health benefits) for each euro invested in shared bike programs between 1.37 and 1.72 euros. Peng et al. (2022) state that shared micromobility systems are new and more convenient travel options while reducing transportation-related greenhouse gas emissions. Their results show that these systems have positive environmental effects and have the potential to facilitate the decarbonization of urban transportation. The results of Sun et al. (2021) shows that shared micromobility can reduce energy consumption by 1% at the national level and 2.6% at the city level, therefore micromobility is known as the biggest factor in energy consumption reduction. On the other hand, Sun and Ertz (2022) state that unlike previous studies, micromobility including types of free-floating bike-sharing (FFBS), free-floating e-bike sharing (FFEBS), and free-floating e-scooter sharing (FFESS) except station-based bike-sharing (SBBS) have not achieved the desired benefits of reducing greenhouse gas emissions, which is due to excessive commercialization and low usage. In addition, regional differences in mode choice, operational efficiency, fleet scale and market potential of shared micromobility and related greenhouse gas emission impacts vary widely. Therefore, the authorities should formulate appropriate shared micromobility programs based on the current conditions and objectives of the region. The results of Bozzi and Aguilera (2021) showed that electronic scooters are often associated with a high perception of risk by people and an increase in the occurrence of road accidents. Regarding the environmental effect of these devices, there are conflicting opinions so that although these devices reduce air pollution, they are polluting in terms of production and materials, especially battery charging related pollutions (Echeverría-Su et al., 2023). Integrating shared e-scooters into existing transportation systems requires policy changes, both at the local and national levels, including traffic regulations, safety laws, and physical infrastructure. They determined health and hygiene effects in three domains of injury (loss of balance or falls, upper extremity and head injury), perceived safety, and physical activity (reduced activity compared to walking). In addition, they stated that physical injuries were caused by the lack of helmet-related laws, but even in countries where the use of helmets is mandatory, e-scooter riders rarely use protective equipment, and risky behavior is especially harmful in young men. In relation to the perceived safety, there is a need for the existence of infrastructure and the separation of the paths of these devices from other devices and pedestrians, as well as the maneuverability of the devices, including the amount of their braking power. In summary, it can be said that the main potential of micromobility in the urban context is in solving the problem of First- and Last-Mile and access to public transportation. In Table 6, the advantages of micromobility are presented in an integrated manner. Table 6.

(2019), Sareen, Remme and Haarstad (2021), Sanders, Branion-Calles, & Nelson (2020), Posirisuk, Baker, & Ghajari (2022) The factors that hinder the wider acceptance of micromobility, or in other words, the disadvantages of micromobility, can also be classified into two categories: infrastructural barriers and social-natural barriers. Infrastructural barriers mean lack of suitable infrastructure (Mayhew and Bergin, 2019) (Gössling, 2020) (Zhang et al., 2021), lack of sufficient number of devices at the right time and place (geographical and temporal distribution), non-separation of the usage path and parking place (Gehrke, Sadeghinasr, Wang, & Reardon, 2021). For example, bicycle infrastructure factors such as good road quality and separate bicycle lanes play an important role in accelerating public bicycle adoption (Abolhassani, Afghari, & Borzadaran, 2019) (Hess & Schubert, 2019). Yang et al. (2022) state that sections with sidewalks, dedicated bicycle facilities, lower speed limits, street lights, and more trees have higher trip volumes. Second category barriers include privacy concerns (Aguilera-García et al., 2020), safety concerns and perceived difficulty or inconvenience of use for example; The need for helmets and the increase in accidents (Fishman et al., 2014; Fishman et al., 2015; Serra et al., 2021; Fonseca-Cabrera et al. (2021)) and lack of rules. To reduce these obstacles, especially in the field of accidents and security, solutions such as the establishment of related laws, the separation of micromobility paths from riders and pedestrians have been proposed (Fonseca-Cabrera et al. (2021); Pazzini et al. (2022)). In addition, people who are more concerned about the environment are more likely to use shared bicycles or shared electric scooters (Aguilera-García et al., 2020; Eccarius & Lu, 2020). Also, the environment and climate play a stronger role in influencing a person's intention to use micromobility. This argument is not surprising given the characteristics of most micromobility devices, such as lower speed (20 mph or less), shorter distance (1.5-2.9 km) and no canopy, and therefore proximity to shared bicycles is an important factor (Abolhassani, Afghari, & Borzadaran, 2019; de Chardon et al., 2017; Fishman et al., 2015). Temperature, weather and air quality factors also have a great impact on people's intention to use micromobility. For example, precipitation, wind and heat, and poor air quality are factors that prevent greater adoption of shared bicycles (Campbell et al., 2016; de Chardon et al., 2017). Hosseinzadeh et al. (2021) have investigated the effect of factors such as weather, day of the week, holidays and special events on the travel frequency of electronic scooters and shared bicycles. According to their study, rain reduced trips for shared bikes by 17% and shared e-scooters by 16%.

(2021) Figure 6 shows the frequency distribution of advantages and disadvantages of micromobility. In the literature, more attention is paid to the advantage of replacing use of personal cars with micromobility and increasing the use of public transportation and, as a result, reducing energy consumption and pollution. Safety issues caused by shared paths with other transportation and pedestrians and the lack of proper infrastructure are among the most important disadvantages. Question 6: The main role of micromobility in relation to other modes of urban transportation Regarding the main role of micromobility in relation to other modes of urban transport such as public and personal transport; More studies have studied its complementary role. For example, Oeschger, Carroll, and Caulfield (2020) state that micromobility is a means of accessing public transportation that has the potential to replace private cars if this integration is established. Liao and Correi (2022) state that the impact of each shared e-transportation mode is expected to be influenced by other e-sharing modes due to their complementarity. Schwinger et al. (2022) showed that micromobility services are especially used in situations where public transport is not a good substitute, so they often complement public transport. This ambivalent relationship between micromobility and public transport emphasizes the need for appropriate regulations and policies to ensure the sustainability of micromobility services. They state that micromobility infrastructure usually should be near public transport stations. For example, for e-bikes and e-scooters, the nearest public transport station is often no more than 350 meters from the origin or destination of micromobility trips. Luo et al. (2021) state that in the city center about 27% of e-scooter trips can potentially compete with the bus system, while outside the city center where bus coverage is low, e-scooters can complement the bus in about 29%. In other words, changing the position of electronic scooters in areas with limited bus services can better promote the synergistic connection between these two systems. However, based on the various applications of micromobility, it can be said that micromobility is a complement to public transportation. Although it can be used independently for entertainment and doing personal and business affairs. Fan and Harper (2022) state that micromobility represents a significant opportunity to replace short trips with personal vehicles (0-3 miles) and reduce pollution in the transportation sector. They estimate that up to 18% of short car trips could be replaced by micromobility. Micromobility can reduce traffic on congested roads, and large-scale bikeway deployments can maximize traffic benefits, but their impacts on energy consumption and emissions are disproportionately small. Sanders and Karpinski (2023) investigate the interactions and potential effects between autonomous vehicles and micromobility and state that these two can complement and replace the current personal cars. Table 8 shows the different roles of micromobility. Table 8.

(2022), Almannaa et al. (2021), 4 As a means of crowdshipping Castiglione et al. (2022), He et al. (2021), Carracedo & Mostofi (2022), Schomakers et al. (2022) In Figure 7, it is clear that the biggest role of micromobility in cities is as a supplement to public transportation and then as a substitute for public transportation or by car. In explaining the position of micromobility in future cities, 4 types of cities are mentioned in the studies, which are: livable city, sustainable and environmentally friendly city, economic and competent city and smart and innovative city. According to Figure 8, micromobility have been mostly associated with livable city, a city that provides comfort and flexibility for humans and their movement with the least pollution. On the other hand, less studies have paid attention to the technological dimension and smartness of micromobilities. Question 7: Current market trend and its future forecast In relation to the current market trend and its future forecast, although most of the articles have used the reports of various organizations such as The National Association of City Transportation Officials (NACTO), Precedence Research based in Canada and India, Allied Market Research, etc. but some articles such as Oeschger, Carroll, and Caulfield (2020) and Huo et al. (2021) state that micromobility has exponential growth in urban mobility. Galatoulas et al. (2020) showed that Bicycle Sharing Systems in the world have increased from 17 programs in 2005 to more than 2900 programs in 2019. Since the emergence of the term micromobility, the trend of these programs is exponential. According to chart 9 and based on the report of The National Association of City Transportation Officials (NACTO), the number of scooter and bicycle sharing trips in the United States grew by 286% between 2018 and 2019. In 2018, people took 84 million shared micromobility trips in the United States, more than double the number of trips taken in 2017. According to Figure 10, most of the growth in micromobility has been due to the growth in the use of shared scooters that started in 2018 (Report The National Association of City Transportation Officials (NACTO), 2018). Analyzing the use of micromobility by days of the week and hours of the day shows that annual subscription holders are more likely to use micromobility during busy hours, which indicates that they use this system for business trips (commuting). People who bought one-day or one-day tickets, as well as scooter riders, use this device more in the middle of the day and on weekends and for a longer period of time, which indicates social use, shopping use and recreational purposes (Figure 11). Hosseinzadeh et al. (2021) state in their study that Mondays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays increased the use of e-scooters and bike sharing, although Tuesdays and Wednesdays only saw a significant increase in bike sharing. The micromobility market forecast shows that the largest market for this device is the Asia Pacific market and the fastest growing market is North America (precedenceresearch site). According to chart 12, the compound annual growth rate of this market is projected to be 17% until 2030. According to the forecast, bicycles will have the largest market share and young people aged 15 to 34 will be the most users of micromobility (Figure 13). To summarize, as the results of Choi, Kim, & Seo (2023) showed, the use of micromobility has had a relatively stable travel pattern despite the Covid-19 pandemic, which indicates the possibility of micromobility being accepted as the future urban transportation. Conclusion As mentioned, historical review shows rapid growth of urbanization, that besides urban advantages, has led to population density related challenges and subsequent problems, such as increased traffic congestion, climate change, environmental pollution, and environmental destruction. Urban managers have sought to use new approaches and technological tools to meet these challenges. As future cities are targeted to be as pollution-free and environmentally friendly as possible, transportation systems are significantly important in these cities. One of the increasingly useful systems that has been implemented in recent years and its growth is projected to be high in the future is micromobility. Although various studies have been conducted in this field, the findings were not consistent and each study focused on a part of it. Therefore, in this study, using a Meta-Synthesis method, a comprehensive definition of micromobility, types of micromobility, advantages and disadvantages of micromobility, its applications in cities, its current market and its future forecast, and its main role in relation to other modes of urban transportation such as public and personal transportation were explained. In line with the synthesis of the findings based on the research questions and since there was no comprehensive, exclusive and inclusive definition of micromobility based on different definitions of micromobility and according to its indicators, the comprehensive definition of micromobility is suggested as: micromobility is a transportation by light individual vehicles, foot or electronic operated, that are small, low-speed, with low energy consumption and is easy to carry, which are used for short urban trips privately or shared. In explaining the place of micromobility in the cities of the future, 4 types of cities have been mentioned in the studies. Micromobility is mostly associated with livable cities as it provides flexibility and accessibility in mobility with lower pollutions. Figure 14 also shows the findings of the articles in an integrated manner, including the criteria for determining micromobility, its types of devices, its advantages, disadvantages and applications. Studies show that micromobility will be the basis for transitioning from movement as a means to movement as a service in future cities. While micromobility can function independently for leisure or work, it can help the development of public transportation by integrating with the public transportation system. What is certain is that for the development of micromobility, it is necessary to examine the factors affecting micromobility from different social, cultural, political, economic, etc. dimensions. Therefore, it is suggested to study the following topics in future research: • Investigating the economic, cultural, social, environmental, etc. effective factors on micromobility through Meta-Synthesis as well as field method. • Identification of stakeholders effective on the expansion of micromobilities • Prioritizing and analyzing the economic, cultural, social, environmental, and other effective factors and the strength of the stakeholders in the use of micromobilities.

urbanization is one of the most important events of the last few centuries, so that it is called as the urban revolution in the world. This expansion has occurred both through the development of existing cities and the emergence of new cities. (Coretti Sanchez et al., 2022) Statistics show that the proportion of urbanization in the world has been increasing in recent decades. In 2008, for the first time, global urban transition took place, in other words, more than half of the world\u0026apos;s population (3 billion and 300 million people) lived in urban areas, based on this, the United Nations named 2008 the year of urbanization. According to the World Bank report, in 2022, about 56% of the world\u0026apos;s population (4.4 billion people) live in cities, this trend is expected to continue until 7 out of 10 people live in cities in 2050. (World Bank, 2022)\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe expansion of urbanization has various advantages and disadvantages. Cities generate more than 80% of the world\u0026apos;s GDP, which, if well managed, contribute to the sustainable growth of societies through increased productivity and innovation.\u0026nbsp;(World Bank, 2022)\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the other hand, urbanization and its rapid rate lead to challenges such as imbalance in the landscape and body of cities, lack of housing and its price increase, lack of viable infrastructure including transportation systems, basic services and jobs and rise in social injustice, population density and related issues. Among them are the increase in traffic, climate change and environmental pollution and environmental destruction, variety of social pathological issues, and challenges in providing urban services including electricity, water, health facilities and waste management. (Kolomak, 2012; Tan, Yang \u0026amp; Niu, 2022;\u0026nbsp;World Bank, 2022) For example, cities produce approximately 78% of carbon emissions and significant air pollutants, which has caused about 90% of the world\u0026apos;s citizens to live in areas that exceed safe levels in the World Health Organization\u0026apos;s air quality guidelines. (Liang \u0026amp; Gong, 2020)\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs mentioned, one of the problems of urbanization in the world is the increase in population and traffic, which studies show that population and traffic are two major factors that affect air quality in the process of urbanization. The increase in the population of cities has increased the movement of citizens in the city to access urban facilities and receive urban services, and the increase in movement by private car has caused negative side effects such as pollution in different cities of the world (Todd, O\u0026apos;Brien, \u0026amp; Cheshire, 2019). Zhang et al. (2022) state that every one percent increase in population density causes a 0.019 percent decrease in air quality. Public transportation such as the subway plays an important role in improving air quality. Therefore, in conclusion, it can be said that with the development of cities, the importance of transportation increases, and as a result, the existing transportation problems show themselves more and more. These problems include significant public transportation infrastructure costs, raising costs of using public transportation, as well as lack of accessibility and structural problems in the urban transportation network, increase in personal transportation, and its subsequent issues like, inefficient fuel consumption, pollution, parking problems, increase in accidents and time wasted in traffic jams. (Omayer, 2022; Masood, Khan, Naqvi, 2011) On the other hand, various initiative and concepts have been formalized regarding the future of cities, such as smart, innovative, sustainable, livable, environmentally friendly, green, competent, etc., and transportation plays an essential role in each of these types of cities.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTherefore, due to the emergence of complications caused by the expansion of cities as well as the diversity of cities\u0026apos; missions, city managers have sought a more sustainable urban transportation system. For this purpose and based on the emergence of new methods and emerging technologies, the paradigm of urban transportation is changing from transportation by vehicle to transportation as a service. (Medina-Molina et al., 2022) In this context, the new modes of personal transportation that have been proposed under the name of micro0mobility deal with the use of small and light vehicles such as electronic scooters and electric bicycles. Because this mode of urban transportation is new and has different effects and applications, and it can help reduce the problems caused by traffic and air pollution as a new method along with other urban transportation methods and plays an important role in creating a sustainable urban transportation system in future cities, it is practically necessary to pay attention to this transportation and on the other hand, despite the fact that various studies have explained this phenomenon, but a comprehensive conceptualization has not been achieved in the theoretical foundations of this field, therefore, understanding this concept in the scientific community is also a theoretical necessity. Therefore, the main goal of this article is to introduce micro-mobility and explain its role in the urban transportation systems in future cities. In this regard, understanding the concept of micro-mobility in the scientific literature along with its advantages and disadvantages and its role in the future of cities is of significant importance, which is discussed in this article.\u003c/p\u003e"},{"header":"Literature Review ","content":"\u003cp\u003eAlthough the term micro-mobility has been mentioned in the scientific literature since 2017, many articles have been compiled about it, and as shown in Figure 1, the number of articles that use the term micro-mobility in its title has been increasing.\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSome studies have focused more on the introduction of micro-mobility, its history and its potential in cities. (Reed, 2019) and others have examined the applications and benefits by focusing on one type of this transportation, for example, a bicycle or a scooter, and then discussed the features of shared plans in this type of transportation. For example, various studies including Oeschger, Carroll, and Caulfield (2020), Eszterg\u0026aacute;r-Kiss and Lopez Lizarraga\u003cspan dir=\"RTL\"\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c/span\u003e(2021),\u003cspan dir=\"RTL\"\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c/span\u003eAbduljabbar et al. (2021), Bretones and Marquet et al. (2022) They have stated the applications and benefits of micro-mobility. Other studies have investigated the disadvantages and factors affecting the use and type of use of these devices. Articles such as Aguilera-Garc\u0026iacute;a et al. (2020), Fishman et al. (2014; 2015), Serra et al. (2021) and Fonseca-Cabrera et al. (2021) have addressed the disadvantages of this mode of transportation. Also, in this regard, several articles have reviewed the literature on micro-mobility. These researches, while stating that valuable research studies have been conducted in the field of micro-mobility, but the body of the conducted researches are considered to be completely scattered. (Abduljabbar et al., 2021) And they have tried to integrate each part of it. In this context, Oeschger, Carroll, and Caulfield (2020) with a systematic review of the literature related to the bicycle sharing systems, by reviewing the articles until August 2020, state that Micro-mobility is a means of access to public transportation, if micro-mobility is integrated with public transportation; It has the potential to replace private cars. Abduljabbar et al. (2021) reviewed articles from the Scopus database between 2000 and 2020 and found that studies in this field are on the rise, showing micro-mobility as a transformative and sustainable low-carbon urban transportation mode. They have examined the benefits, technology, policy, and categories of behavioral mode selection in studies. Liao and Correi (2022) reviewed the literature related to electronic shared transportation to examine the usage pattern, demand estimation and their potential effects. Bretones and Marquet et al. (2022) have reviewed the related literature by focusing on socio-psychological factors affecting people\u0026apos;s intention to use electronic transportation mode. Elmashhara et al. (2022) have also investigated the factors influencing the behavior of users of shared micro-mobility systems with a systematic literature review. Other articles have different opinions regarding the effects of micro-mobility. Bozzi and Aguilera (2021) have done a systematic review of the current knowledge about uses and users, health and environmental effects and policy issues in the field of micro-mobility. Their results showed that the use of electronic scooters has a high risk of accidents in the eyes of people, and there are also conflicting opinions regarding the environmental effect of these devices, so that although these devices reduce pollution, they are polluting in terms of production and materials, especially battery and charging.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExamining the review articles in this field show that, firstly, these articles mostly focused on a specific type of micro-mobility (generally shared bicycle) or examined a specific function of it (such as integration with the public transportation system). On the other hand, although the advantages and effects of this mode of transportation have been investigated, it has different and sometimes conflicting opinions, so the present study, explains the definitions of micro-mobility, its criteria and its variations, its advantages and disadvantages, its effects and functions, and it analyzes its market and the different roles of this type of urban mobility, especially in different types of future cities. Although, the previous studies, both review and non-review studies, have clarified aspects of micro-mobility, but there is no particular coherence between the studies in relation to the mentioned cases, so the Meta-Synthesis method has been used to interpret and combine the findings of these studies.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eResearch Methodology\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe nature of this and its purpose is practical as it seeks to provide suggestions and guidelines for the use of micro-mobility in urban transportation. In terms of strategy and method, qualitative (library study) and Meta-Synthesis methods have been used in this article. In terms of the subject area of the research, the articles related to all types of micro-mobility in the city are targeted, and in terms of time, the articles from 2017 onwards have been examined because the term micro-mobility was first expressed in 2017 (Liao and Correi,2022).\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs mentioned in this article, the Qualitative Meta-Synthesis method has been used. This method analyzes the data, theories and research method of the subject literature (Paterson et al., 2001) and It seeks to build a new theory, develop a conceptual model, identify existing gaps, integrate findings, provide a new explanation of the studied phenomenon, and expand the understanding of new knowledge. (Atkins et al., 2008) In other words, Meta-Synthesis is done in order to combine past studies (combination of previous combinations). This method includes 6 steps: stating the problem and setting research questions, searching for sources, evaluating quality, analyzing studies, combining findings, and validating findings. (Sandelowski \u0026amp; Barroso, 2007) Figure 2 shows the research framework. In general, this research was done in 4 general stages and 6 steps. In the first stage, the main problem and research questions were defined. Then search and resource selection was performed, and in the next step, the data was obtained from the selected sources were examined and analyzed. In the final stage, the results were summarized.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ementioned in the following are the summary of research framework, introduction each step of the Meta-Synthesis method, the work done in each step and their results and findings.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1. The first step: statement of the problem and formulation of research questions:\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this step, along with defining and stating the problem, the research questions related to the stated problem and the inclusion and exclusion criteria of the articles in the review are also determined. As mentioned earlier, various articles have been done in the field of micro-mobility and review articles have also been done in this field, but each one focuses on a part of micro-mobility and the comprehensive definition, functions and benefits of this method of transportation have not been properly explained, although Due to the expansion of urbanization and the increase in the population of cities and consequently traffic and air pollution, there is a need to design new transportation systems whose function and advantage is to reduce traffic and air pollution and develop the use of public transportation. Therefore, this article seeks a clearer and comprehensive understanding of micro-mobility and providing a general picture of it by answering the central question (the main question) \u0026quot;\u003cem\u003eWhat type of transportation is micro-mobility and what is its place in the urban transportation system?\u003c/em\u003e\u0026quot; and the following sub-questions are:\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eWhat is the comprehensive definition of micromobility?\u003c/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eWhat are the criteria for determining micromobility?\u003c/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eAccording to the comprehensive definition, what are the types of micromobility?\u003c/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eWhat are the uses of micromobility in cities?\u003c/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eWhat will be the advantages and disadvantages of micromobility in cities?\u003c/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eWhat is the main role of micromobility in urban transportation in future cities?\u003c/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eWhat place will micromobility have in the future of cities?\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003c/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2. The second step: search for sources:\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt this stage, the search for resources in databases is done by determining keywords, databases and time period, language, etc. In this study, Google Scholar and Elsevier database were searched for articles that include Mictomobility, Micro-mobility in their title, abstract and/or keywords. Search criteria includes: 1. Articles that have been published in ISI\u0026apos;s indexed prestigious journals. 2.\u0026nbsp;Articles that have Micromobility and/or Micro-mobility in the title, abstract and keywords. 3.\u0026nbsp;Articles that have mentioned in their findings the definition of micro-mobility, the expression of advantages or disadvantages, its applications, its market and its relationship with other transportation systems.

In urban areas in particular, the widespread use of e-scooters makes technicians and administrations think about how to redesign urban spaces to accommodate the new form of mobility. Many European countries have started to introduce rules for new users, some of which equate e-scooters with bicycles. However, it is necessary to focus on some specific aspects of this mode of transport, namely safety, access to main points of interest and integration with public transport.\u003c/p\u003e\n \u003c/td\u003e\n \u003ctd\u003e\n \u003cp dir=\"LTR\"\u003eIgnaccolo\u0026nbsp;et al.

While the International Transport Forum (ITF) (2020) emphasizes the amount of kinetic energy, weight, speed and driving force, in the classification of The Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), there are four criteria for classifying micro-mobility vehicles: Weight up to 227 kg, maximum width of 1.5 meters, maximum speed of 48 km/h and electric or combustion engine power source. Using a four-factor classification, the American Society of Automotive Engineers distinguishes six types of electric micro-mobility: electric bicycles, electric stand-up scooters, electric sit-down scooters, electric self-balancing boards, electric non-self-balancing boards, and electric skates (The Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), 2018). Other studies have also considered the criteria of distance, place of use and type of device while paying attention to the above criteria (Shaheen et al. (2020)). There is no consensus on the value of these criteria and various factors that affect it. For example, the type of vehicle is related to the distance. In this context, Schwinger et al. (2022) and Şeng\u0026uuml;l and Mostofi (2021) and Vetturi et al. (2023) state that e-bike trips are significantly longer than e-scooters. E-scooters are mainly used for trips shorter than 2 km and e-bikes are often used for trips of 4 km. Moinse (2022) estimated the distance from the home or workplace to the public transportation station, i.e., the distance that is suitable for using micro-mobility, to be 3 to 4 kilometers and states that proper planning of the transportation network is necessary to achieve and maintain this distance and the existence of suitable parking for micro-mobility. Şeng\u0026uuml;l and Mostofi (2021) state that micro-mobility should be used for all trips with different travel purposes that are less than 8 km, which accounts for 50-60% of all trips in China, the EU and the United States. Therefore, it can be assumed that micro-mobility may replace the majority of car trips, since it is known that most car trips are made for a distance of less than 8 km. They also state that a review of micro-mobility regulations and restrictions shows that various countries are seeking to legalize the use of this device by limiting age and speed. Regarding speed regulations for these vehicles, the limit in Poland is 25 km/h. The speed limit in Chicago and Oregon is approximately 24 km/h, with the exception that in Oregon there is a contradiction, as micromobility vehicles must not travel slower than traffic speed (approximately 40 km/h) (Şeng\u0026uuml;l and Mostofi., 2021). Kazemzadeh \u0026amp; Sprei (2022) state that the type of vehicle is effective in determining the speed and the speed varies from 15 to 45 km/h depending on the vehicle. It should also be said that technology and the use of electric propulsion has changed the value of the criteria. For example, the increase in distance and speed has been due to the increase in the level of technology and the emergence and expansion of the use of electronic devices (Schwinger et al. (2022)). As it is clear from Table 3, 8 criteria have been specified for determining micro-mobility, but based on different definitions, the amount of these criteria is different and there is no consensus in this field.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTable 3.

These needs are mostly personal and few studies have been done on its application to businesses and organizations. Ducktrains et al. (2022) mentioned crowdshipping through micromobility. They state that due to the growth of e-commerce, new options for delivery of goods (such as mass transit) and small electric transportation or micromobility (e-bikes and e-scooters) have been expanded which causes sustainable transportation, replacing personal cars with micromobility while delivering goods in a short time. An important factor affecting the use of micromobility is the level of infrastructure safety by ensuring the existence of bicycle lanes that are either physically or temporarily separated. They also refer to generating income through mass transportation by micromobility.

Direct benefits are benefits that affect transportation, such as easier access to public transportation, less use of private vehicles, and sustainable transportation. Indirect benefits are benefits that result from the effects of using this type of transportation on citizens, such as increasing access to services and opportunities in the city, reducing travel time and cost, reducing energy and fuel consumption, and improving health.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt should be noted that there are conflicting opinions in the articles regarding the benefits of micromobility. Some studies have pointed out the effects of micromobility on reducing pollution and improving health. For example, Oeschger, Carroll, and Caulfield (2020) state that the combination of micromobility and public transportation; Along with the current benefits of public transportation results in increased access, speed and convenience, and provides \u0026ldquo;Door to Door\u0026rdquo; that will significantly enhance accessibility. Also, Liao and Correi (2022) state that micromobility has positive effects on transportation and the environment (such as reducing car use, car ownership and greenhouse gas emissions). Dias and Ribeiro (2021) state that micromobility in cities has been strongly associated with environmental, social and economic benefits. Its use is mostly to connect to public transport to promote first and last miles of the trips. Their results show increased health and time saving. Mart\u0026iacute;nez et al. (2019) have estimated the total value of socio-economic effects (impact on the economy and health benefits) for each euro invested in shared bike programs between 1.37 and 1.72 euros.\u0026nbsp;Peng\u003cstrong\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c/strong\u003eet al. (2022) state that shared micromobility systems are new and more convenient travel options while reducing transportation-related greenhouse gas emissions. Their results show that these systems have positive environmental effects and have the potential to facilitate the decarbonization of urban transportation. The results of Sun et al. (2021) shows that shared micromobility can reduce energy consumption by 1% at the national level and 2.6% at the city level, therefore micromobility is known as the biggest factor in energy consumption reduction.\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan dir=\"RTL\"\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/strong\u003eOn the other hand, Sun and Ertz (2022) state that unlike previous studies, micromobility including types of free-floating bike-sharing (FFBS), free-floating e-bike sharing (FFEBS), and free-floating e-scooter sharing (FFESS) except station-based bike-sharing (SBBS) have not achieved the desired benefits of reducing greenhouse gas emissions, which is due to excessive commercialization and low usage. In addition, regional differences in mode choice, operational efficiency, fleet scale and market potential of shared micromobility and related greenhouse gas emission impacts vary widely. Therefore, the authorities should formulate appropriate shared micromobility programs based on the current conditions and objectives of the region. The results of Bozzi and Aguilera (2021) showed that electronic scooters are often associated with a high perception of risk by people and an increase in the occurrence of road accidents. Regarding the environmental effect of these devices, there are conflicting opinions so that although these devices reduce air pollution, they are polluting in terms of production and materials, especially battery charging related pollutions (Echeverr\u0026iacute;a-Su et al., 2023). Integrating shared e-scooters into existing transportation systems requires policy changes, both at the local and national levels, including traffic regulations, safety laws, and physical infrastructure. They determined health and hygiene effects in three domains of injury (loss of balance or falls, upper extremity and head injury), perceived safety, and physical activity (reduced activity compared to walking). In addition, they stated that physical injuries were caused by the lack of helmet-related laws, but even in countries where the use of helmets is mandatory, e-scooter riders rarely use protective equipment, and risky behavior is especially harmful in young men. In relation to the perceived safety, there is a need for the existence of infrastructure and the separation of the paths of these devices from other devices and pedestrians, as well as the maneuverability of the devices, including the amount of their braking power. In summary, it can be said that the main potential of micromobility in the urban context is in solving the problem of First- and Last-Mile and access to public transportation.

Infrastructural barriers mean lack of suitable infrastructure (Mayhew and Bergin, 2019) (G\u0026ouml;ssling, 2020) (Zhang et al., 2021), lack of sufficient number of devices at the right time and place (geographical and temporal distribution), non-separation of the usage path and parking place (Gehrke, Sadeghinasr, Wang, \u0026amp; Reardon, 2021). For example, bicycle infrastructure factors such as good road quality and separate bicycle lanes play an important role in accelerating public bicycle adoption (Abolhassani, Afghari, \u0026amp; Borzadaran, 2019) (Hess \u0026amp; Schubert, 2019). Yang et al. (2022) state that sections with sidewalks, dedicated bicycle facilities, lower speed limits, street lights, and more trees have higher trip volumes. Second category barriers include privacy concerns (Aguilera-Garc\u0026iacute;a et al., 2020), safety concerns and perceived difficulty or inconvenience of use for example; The need for helmets and the increase in accidents (Fishman et al., 2014; Fishman et al., 2015; Serra et al., 2021; Fonseca-Cabrera et al. (2021)) and lack of rules. To reduce these obstacles, especially in the field of accidents and security, solutions such as the establishment of related laws, the separation of micromobility paths from riders and pedestrians have been proposed (Fonseca-Cabrera et al. (2021); Pazzini et al. (2022)). In addition, people who are more concerned about the environment are more likely to use shared bicycles or shared electric scooters (Aguilera-Garc\u0026iacute;a et al., 2020; Eccarius \u0026amp; Lu, 2020). Also, the environment and climate play a stronger role in influencing a person\u0026apos;s intention to use micromobility. This argument is not surprising given the characteristics of most micromobility devices, such as lower speed (20 mph or less), shorter distance (1.5-2.9 km) and no canopy, and therefore proximity to shared bicycles is an important factor (Abolhassani, Afghari, \u0026amp; Borzadaran, 2019; de Chardon et al., 2017; Fishman et al., 2015). Temperature, weather and air quality factors also have a great impact on people\u0026apos;s intention to use micromobility. For example, precipitation, wind and heat, and poor air quality are factors that prevent greater adoption of shared bicycles (Campbell et al., 2016; de Chardon et al., 2017).\u0026nbsp;Hosseinzadeh\u003cstrong\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c/strong\u003eet al. (2021) have investigated the effect of factors such as weather, day of the week, holidays and special events on the travel frequency of electronic scooters and shared bicycles. According to their study, rain reduced trips for shared bikes by 17% and shared e-scooters by 16%.

In the literature, more attention is paid to the advantage of replacing use of personal cars with micromobility and increasing the use of public transportation and, as a result, reducing energy consumption and pollution. Safety issues caused by shared paths with other transportation and pedestrians and the lack of proper infrastructure are among the most important disadvantages.\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQuestion 6: The main role of micromobility in relation to other modes of urban transportation\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRegarding the main role of micromobility in relation to other modes of urban transport such as public and personal transport; More studies have studied its complementary role. For example, Oeschger, Carroll, and Caulfield (2020) state that micromobility is a means of accessing public transportation that has the potential to replace private cars if this integration is established. Liao and Correi (2022) state that the impact of each shared e-transportation mode is expected to be influenced by other e-sharing modes due to their complementarity. Schwinger et al. (2022) showed that micromobility services are especially used in situations where public transport is not a good substitute, so they often complement public transport. This ambivalent relationship between micromobility and public transport emphasizes the need for appropriate regulations and policies to ensure the sustainability of micromobility services. They state that micromobility infrastructure usually should be near public transport stations. For example, for e-bikes and e-scooters, the nearest public transport station is often no more than 350 meters from the origin or destination of micromobility trips. Luo et al. (2021) state that in the city center about 27% of e-scooter trips can potentially compete with the bus system, while outside the city center where bus coverage is low, e-scooters can complement the bus in about 29%. In other words, changing the position of electronic scooters in areas with limited bus services can better promote the synergistic connection between these two systems. However, based on the various applications of micromobility, it can be said that micromobility is a complement to public transportation. Although it can be used independently for entertainment and doing personal and business affairs. Fan and Harper (2022) state that micromobility represents a significant opportunity to replace short trips with personal vehicles (0-3 miles) and reduce pollution in the transportation sector. They estimate that up to 18% of short car trips could be replaced by micromobility. Micromobility can reduce traffic on congested roads, and large-scale bikeway deployments can maximize traffic benefits, but their impacts on energy consumption and emissions are disproportionately small. Sanders and Karpinski (2023) investigate the interactions and potential effects between autonomous vehicles and micromobility and state that these two can complement and replace the current personal cars.

According to Figure 8, micromobility have been mostly associated with livable city, a city that provides comfort and flexibility for humans and their movement with the least pollution.

(2021) state that micromobility has exponential growth in urban mobility. Galatoulas et al. (2020) showed that Bicycle Sharing Systems in the world have increased from 17 programs in 2005 to more than 2900 programs in 2019. Since the emergence of the term micromobility, the trend of these programs is exponential. According to chart 9 and based on the report of The National Association of City Transportation Officials (NACTO), the number of scooter and bicycle sharing trips in the United States grew by 286% between 2018 and 2019. In 2018, people took 84 million shared micromobility trips in the United States, more than double the number of trips taken in 2017. According to Figure 10, most of the growth in micromobility has been due to the growth in the use of shared scooters that started in 2018 (Report The National Association of City Transportation Officials (NACTO), 2018).\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnalyzing the use of micromobility by days of the week and hours of the day shows that annual subscription holders are more likely to use micromobility during busy hours, which indicates that they use this system for business trips (commuting). People who bought one-day or one-day tickets, as well as scooter riders, use this device more in the middle of the day and on weekends and for a longer period of time, which indicates social use, shopping use and recreational purposes (Figure 11).

(2021) state in their study that Mondays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays increased the use of e-scooters and bike sharing, although Tuesdays and Wednesdays only saw a significant increase in bike sharing.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe micromobility market forecast shows that the largest market for this device is the Asia Pacific market and the fastest growing market is North America (precedenceresearch site). According to chart 12, the compound annual growth rate of this market is projected to be 17% until 2030.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAccording to the forecast, bicycles will have the largest market share and young people aged 15 to 34 will be the most users of micromobility (Figure 13).\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo summarize, as the results of Choi, Kim, \u0026amp; Seo (2023) showed, the use of micromobility has had a relatively stable travel pattern despite the Covid-19 pandemic, which indicates the possibility of micromobility being accepted as the future urban transportation.\u003c/p\u003e"},{"header":"Conclusion","content":"\u003cp\u003eAs mentioned, historical review shows rapid growth of urbanization, that besides urban advantages, has led to population density related challenges and subsequent problems, such as increased traffic congestion, climate change, environmental pollution, and environmental destruction. Urban managers have sought to use new approaches and technological tools to meet these challenges. As future cities are targeted to be as pollution-free and environmentally friendly as possible, transportation systems are significantly important in these cities. One of the increasingly useful systems that has been implemented in recent years and its growth is projected to be high in the future is micromobility. Although various studies have been conducted in this field, the findings were not consistent and each study focused on a part of it. Therefore, in this study, using a Meta-Synthesis method, a comprehensive definition of micromobility, types of micromobility, advantages and disadvantages of micromobility, its applications in cities, its current market and its future forecast, and its main role in relation to other modes of urban transportation such as public and personal transportation were explained.\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn line with the synthesis of the findings based on the research questions and since there was no comprehensive, exclusive and inclusive definition of micromobility based on different definitions of micromobility and according to its indicators, the comprehensive definition of micromobility is suggested as: \u003cem\u003emicromobility is a transportation by light individual vehicles, foot or electronic operated, that are small, low-speed, with low energy consumption and is easy to carry, which are used for short urban trips privately or shared.\u003c/em\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn explaining the place of micromobility in the cities of the future, 4 types of cities have been mentioned in the studies. Micromobility is mostly associated with livable cities as it provides flexibility and accessibility in mobility with lower pollutions.\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFigure 14 also shows the findings of the articles in an integrated manner, including the criteria for determining micromobility, its types of devices, its advantages, disadvantages and applications.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStudies show that micromobility will be the basis for transitioning from movement as a means to movement as a service in future cities. While micromobility can function independently for leisure or work, it can help the development of public transportation by integrating with the public transportation system.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat is certain is that for the development of micromobility, it is necessary to examine the factors affecting micromobility from different social, cultural, political, economic, etc. dimensions. Therefore, it is suggested to study the following topics in future research:\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u0026bull; Investigating the economic, cultural, social, environmental, etc. effective factors on micromobility through Meta-Synthesis as well as field method.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u0026bull; Identification of stakeholders effective on the expansion of micromobilities\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u0026bull; Prioritizing and analyzing the economic, cultural, social, environmental, and other effective factors and the strength of the stakeholders in the use of micromobilities.\u003c/p\u003e"},{"header":"References","content":"\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAbduljabbar, Rusul L., Liyanage, Sohani, \u0026amp; Dia, Hussein.

Micro-mobility programs have been proposed worldwide. Despite various previous literature, a comprehensive conceptualization has not been accomplished. Therefore, with a qualitative Meta-Synthesis; we re-introduce and define this style of transportation and answer questions about the criteria for determining micro-mobility, types of micro-mobility, its applications in cities, and its advantages and disadvantages, its main role in urban transportation in future cities and the current market, and its future forecast. The results showed that there is no specific and comprehensive definition to explain micro-mobility and its determining indicators are different and their value is changing according to technological changes. micro-mobility plays a unique role in future cities under the livable city concept with a predicted exponential usage growth, as it has a complementary role to public transportation.","manuscriptTitle":"The Role of Micromobility in Mobility as a Service in Future Cities","msid":"","msnumber":"","nonDraftVersions":[{"code":1,"date":"2023-08-18 22:11:36","doi":"10.21203/rs.3.rs-3259840/v1","editorialEvents":[{"type":"communityComments","content":0}],"status":"published","journal":{"display":true,"email":"[email protected]","identity":"researchsquare","isNatureJournal":false,"hasQc":true,"allowDirectSubmit":true,"externalIdentity":"","sideBox":"","snPcode":"","submissionUrl":"/submission","title":"Research Square","twitterHandle":"researchsquare","acdcEnabled":true,"dfaEnabled":false,"editorialSystem":"","reportingPortfolio":"","inReviewEnabled":false,"inReviewRevisionsEnabled":true}}],"origin":"","ownerIdentity":"da6a0b97-ad39-44ed-ac17-8677ad96c5f9","owner":[],"postedDate":"August 18th, 2023","published":true,"recentEditorialEvents":[],"rejectedJournal":[],"revision":"","amendment":"","status":"posted","subjectAreas":[],"tags":[],"updatedAt":"2023-10-29T12:29:17+00:00","versionOfRecord":[],"versionCreatedAt":"2023-08-18 22:11:36","video":"","vorDoi":"","vorDoiUrl":"","workflowStages":[]},"version":"v1","identity":"rs-3259840","journalConfig":"researchsquare"},"__N_SSP":true},"page":"/article/[identity]/[[...version]]","query":{"redirect":"/article/rs-3259840","identity":"rs-3259840","version":["v1"]},"buildId":"ApUGefWb6u5IBVtyqm6d5","isFallback":false,"isExperimentalCompile":false,"dynamicIds":[84888],"gssp":true,"scriptLoader":[]}
