Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Mechanical and Civil Engineering (IOSR-JMCE) - Year 2018, Vol 15, Issue 5
Abstract
The displacement of the campus of Hasanuddin University's Faculty of Engineering and Alauddin State Islamic University in Gowa Regency of South Sulawesi has implications for increasing the volume of vehicles coming in and out of Gowa Regency. Even though public transportation modes have been provided, but are less attractive to students. This study aims to analyze the interest of motorbike user students at the Hasanuddin University’s Engineering Faculty Campus and Alauddin State Islamic University to switch to using mass transportation mode, and find strategies that need to be done so that the percentage of mass transit use increases. This research is a descriptive with qualitative and quantitative approaches. The results of this study show that 65% of motorcycle riders are willing to switch to mass transportation mode while 35% are not willing. The test results with Chi-square value and Significance value using the SPSS program show motorbike users who have the willingness to switch to buses have a tendency to have characteristics of pocket money/average income between IDR 300,000.- to IDR 400,000.- with the distance of residence to campus more than 10 km. Expected travel time is less than an hour, with a four-week trip activity with the hope that the bus can pass certain areas and the tendency of students to switch modes in the second year and above. The strategies that need to be done to increase the use of mass transportation based on the results of the SWOT analysis are; Make a Memory of Understanding (MoU) on joint cooperation and commitment between relevant agencies, socialization of public transportation among students, the application of online-based transportation information facilities that can be accessed by the public and improve the condition of road infrastructure and mass transportation.
