Makassar, an Indonesian city, is situated on the south-western coast of Sulawesi Island. It is the largest commercial centre in eastern Indonesia, and traffic congestion is a problem there. Movement management must establish sufficient and well-organized parking areas, as well as a good and transparent system to eliminate unmonitored restitution funds, in order to address these issues. To address parking issues in Makassar, a legal and technical strategy is developed, with an emphasis on inclusiveness and including both legal and illegal parking spaces. The integrated parking concept is comprised of a mobile, everywhere-accessible parking area reservation system, a vehicle registration system based on licence plate numbers, and an effective data management system. 180 million Indonesian Rupiah are spent on all equipment and activity installations (IDR). At least 50 locations utilising this system will be required for a minimum vehicle range of 250,000 units, resulting in an approximate capital cost of 9 billion rupiah. The first clause describes the application of minimum parking fees to flat parking fees (generally 2 thousand rupiah). During a single parking period, it is anticipated that 250,000 vehicles will utilise this parking system if all parking spaces are occupied simultaneously. Government and investors can raise 250 million rupiah in investment capital assuming a 50:50 profit split. Revenue can reach billions of rupiah with just four iterations.

“…Infrastructural elements such as the design of the built environment explain a substantial amount of variation in travel behavior (Brand, Götschi, et al, 2021). However, the decision to travel by car is additionally influenced by multiple individual and social factors (Ferreira et al, 2022). Techniques from behavioral science can be used to study these factors and improve understanding of the relationship between infrastructural change and behavior change.…”

“…Instead, there is wider recognition of the need to use methods and theory from behavioral economics and psychology to first diagnose the psychological mechanisms that drive behavior, before developing interventions that might seek to exploit any mechanisms identified (Lunn, 2019). For example, applied behavioral scientists will consider not only how the built environment influences travel mode choice through its physical features, but also by how it might affect psychological mechanisms, such as perceptions of convenience, safety and accessibility (Ferreira et al, 2022). The first aim of this paper is to provide insight into the types of design decisions that lead to more positive perceptions of infrastructure, thereby increasing the likelihood for behavioral change.…”

Replacing car travel with walking and cycling is at the core of the shift to healthier and more sustainable societies. Implementing dedicated infrastructure is a common measure to achieve this aim. But policymakers in multiple countries regularly contend with two obstacles: designing infrastructure that people will make use of and securing public support for implementation. We review and synthesize relevant research from behavioral science that sheds light on how to overcome these two obstacles. Given available literature, we focus on cycling infrastructure. We find that research on moderators of the success of active travel initiatives points to the importance of proximity, connectivity, and safety perceptions, particularly among women, older adults and children. We review empirical findings on which design elements make infrastructure both safe to use and perceived as safe. With respect to public support, we summarize common concerns and review research from behavioral economics and psychology that may help to counter misperceptions of the effects of active travel infrastructure. We also draw on evidence regarding support for climate policy and opinion formation more generally. The paper offers an evidence‐based guide for policymakers to design and implement active travel infrastructure, seen through the lens of behavioral science. It also highlights fruitful avenues for future research.This article is categorized under: Perceptions, Behavior, and Communication of Climate Change > Behavior Change and Responses The Carbon Economy and Climate Mitigation > Policies, Instruments, Lifestyles, Behavior Policy and Governance > Governing Climate Change in Communities, Cities, and Regions

“…However, the private automobile remains the dominant transportation mode in North American and Australian municipalities, while walking, cycling and public transit use remains low 4–7. This trend stems from a systemic lack of supportive, equitable infrastructure to support sustainable transportation modes in our cities, and the threats that automobiles present to the safety of people using the streets 8. Without major changes, municipalities will struggle to meet ambitious targets for sustainable transportation (eg, >50% of trips by walking, cycling and transit9) to address both congestion and climate crisis.…”

IntroductionImproving sustainable transportation options will help cities tackle growing challenges related to population health, congestion, climate change and inequity. Interventions supporting active transportation face many practical and political hurdles. Implementation science aims to understand how interventions or policies arise, how they can be translated to new contexts or scales and who benefits. Sustainable transportation interventions are complex, and existing implementation science frameworks may not be suitable. To apply and adapt implementation science for healthy cities, we have launched our mixed-methods research programme, CapaCITY/É. We aim to understand how, why and for whom sustainable transportation interventions are successful and when they are not.Methods and analysisAcross nine Canadian municipalities and the State of Victoria (Australia), our research will focus on two types of sustainable transportation interventions: all ages and abilities bicycle networks and motor vehicle speed management interventions. We will (1)documentthe implementation process and outcomes of both types of sustainable transportation interventions; (2)examineequity, health and mobility impacts of these interventions; (3)advanceimplementation science by developing a novel sustainable transportation implementation science framework and (4)developtools for scaling up and scaling out sustainable transportation interventions. Training activities will develop interdisciplinary scholars and practitioners able to work at the nexus of academia and sustainable cities.Ethics and disseminationThis study received approval from the Simon Fraser University Office of Ethics Research (H22-03469). A Knowledge Mobilization Hub will coordinate dissemination of findings via a website; presentations to academic, community organisations and practitioner audiences; and through peer-reviewed articles.
