“…Travel motivation, based on previous researches, has answered a questions of why people are triggered to travel or to go to tourist attraction (Almuhrzi & Mohammed, 2017;Bai & Hu, 2009;Duman, 2011;Geng, Long, Chen, & Li, 2017;Konu & Laukkanen, 2009). A research conducted by Khan, Chelliah, & Ahmed (2017) explains, in detail, about female traveler.…”

The background of this research is the decreased number of tourists, either domestic or foreign tourists, visiting Lombok, in which Lombok is a halal tourism destination in Indonesia. This research aims to analyze the influence of electronic word of mouth (e-WOM) and travel motivation toward the interest in visiting Lombok with gender as the mediator, using a purpose-sampling technique on its sample collection. The respondents of this research are university students in Surakarta. The number of questionnaires spread by the researcher is 316 samples and the samples that can be used are 264. This research uses the analysis tool of SPSS 22 with a scale of 1-5. The result shows that e-WOM and travel motivation influence the interest in visiting Lombok, while the influence with gender as the mediator shows that males have a bigger influence toward the use of e-WOM and travel motivation toward the interest of visiting Lombok

“…In contrast, car owners tended to pay more attention to the benefits of using a car (relevant to the reward) and the loss caused by abandoning a car (relevant to the response cost), rather than the sense of responsibility. These kinds of gains or losses may not stem only from the economic aspect, but also from the aspects of time, effort, experience, identity, status, and connection [16,20,49]. The regression results in Table 5 showed that reward and response cost had no significant effect on the time and frequency of cycling after the experiment.…”

“…Rational choice theory assumes that an individual will make a decision about an alternative behavior that gives them maximum satisfaction where information becomes crucial for them to make the appropriate decision [13]. Normative theories, such as Value-Belief-Norm (VBN) and the Norm Activation Model (NAM), hold a view that only when individuals realize the consequences of their actions in polluting the environment and then activate their values, norms, and sense of responsibilities, can they implement pro-environmental behavior [14][15][16]. Other researchers have insisted that attitude theories, such as Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB), have a strong power in explaining one's reasoned decision [17,18].…”

Experimental Evaluation of Information Interventions to Encourage Non-Motorized Travel: A Case Study in Hefei, China

This study aims at presenting an experimental evaluation of the different effects of environmental and health information on encouraging car owners to travel on foot and by bicycle. Health information consists of a high and a low target setting. One hundred and forty-six participants in Hefei city reported their travel behaviors in terms of mode, time, and trip before and after the experiment. Their cognitive and emotional processes with regard to the protection motivation theory (PMT) that determine their potential travel behavior changes in response to information intervention are also identified. Three experimental groups and one control group based on a between-group design are adopted and the methodology of paired sample chi-squared tests and stepwise linear regressions are used. The results show that environmental information alone fails to encourage car owners’ non-motorized travel. When health information is added, information intervention can effectively encourage a time increase in walking and cycling as well as a time and trip decrease in car use in the short term. But the long-term effect is not significant after a year and a half. Moreover, there are no significant differences between the high and the low target settings in health information for encouraging non-motorized travel. In terms of PMT constructs, severity has a significant relationship with the change of time or trip on foot and by bicycle. Vulnerability emerges as a non-effective predictor. Reward, self-efficacy, response efficacy, and response cost are more remarkable in predicting the change of time or trip by car. This study recommends that (1) health information with a target setting is superior to environmental information, (2) reduction strategy is potentially superior to transfer strategy to control car usage, (3) policymakers should design intervention strategies relevant to the coping appraisal rather than to the threat appraisal.

“…Most studies that analyze gendered transport behavior are conducted through quantitative methods in which the sex variable is included in a regression analysis-often together with other socio-demographic variables-to analyze transport modal choices and their implications for carbon emissions and sustainability. Although these studies are not global, they emerge from various locations in the world [38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50]. The studies do confirm the gendered nature of transport choices.…”

Investigating the Link between Transport Sustainability and the Representation of Women in Swedish Local Committees

There are large discrepancies in the transport sector along gender lines in travel patterns and means of transportation used, but also in attitudes and norms among citizens, planners and decision-makers, with women generally more positive towards measures involving the lowering CO2 emissions. At the same time, the number of women involved in transport-related decisions is low. This is a problem for gender equality but possibly also for sustainability. A careful review of previous studies indicated a lack of analyses on the subject based on quantitative data at the local level. We investigated a possible link between women’s presence in local policymaking and more sustainable transport policies, and whether it is possible to capture such an effect. The main contribution of this paper is a methodological approach in which, besides generating unique data on representation in municipalities (confirming men’s dominance, specifically in transport policymaking), possibilities for quantitatively measuring gender and the level of sustainability in transport planning are discussed and tested. Challenges in collecting relevant data and analyzing possible covariances in the data set are discussed and presented as well as suggestions for further investigations into the possible link between gender and sustainable transport performance.
