Well the radius is 1 km, 2km is the diameter and it's rotating at roughly 1rpm.  velocity is equal to v = 2 pi r / T (basically distance over time) so (2x3.14x1000meters)/90seconds gives 69.8m/s.  For a rotating body a = v^2/r so (69.8^2/1000) comes out to  ~ 0.5g, So it's about half a g, but where people dock the gravity would be significantly less so 0.1g is probably correct.
