Component

The aim of this study is to examine the effects of various factors on eight different household and individual mobility indicators, ranging from to vehicle ownership and number of daily trips, in developing country context, i.e., Indonesia. To do so, we use travel diary survey data along with GIS land use data and individual attitudes on urban and transportation issues. It is found that long-term mobility decisions such as vehicle ownership (private car or motorbike) and commute trip mode are solely affected by socio-economic and demographic characteristics of households or individuals. When the analyses are conducted with respect to short-term mobility decisions (trip-making behavior), land use and transportation system variables turn out to be significantly effective. As a further step, it is concluded that land use and transportation system policies to change short term travel behavior might be strategically effective; on the other hand, they will be mostly ineffective if directed at changing long-term travel behavior.
