| Abstrak/Abstract |
Dependency on private vehicles has become a prevalent phenomenon in big cities
experiencing urban sprawl. Related to that, there are still many unknown factors affecting the
dependence on motorcycles. Various factors are suspected to influence this, ranging from spatial
factors to aspatial factors. This research was conducted in Yogyakarta Urbanized Area (YUA) by
taking 175 samples. Binomial Logistic Regression is used in order to find the factors that affect
motorcycle dependency. The results showed that the index of dependency in YUA can be quite
high. Motorcycle usage, bicycle ownership, and perception about the increase of fuel price are the
factors that have a significant influence on motorcycle dependence in YUA. Even though the
correlation between spatial factors and motorcycle dependency was weak, it cannot be said to have
no effect. These factors are most likely to be influential if other indicators are included with more
suitable proxies. |
