Spatial Distance And Mode Of Transportation Choices In Jabodetabek Metropolitan Area: A Sakernas 2017 Micro-Data Analysis On Commuting Pattern Of Workers

Abstract

The growth of Jabodetabek (Jakarta-Bogor-Depok-Tangerang-Bekasi) Metropolitan Areas raises several problems including the occurrence of traffic congestion in various parts of the metropolitan area. This congestion occurs partly because of the increasing number and use of private vehicles, especially by workers who commute mobility within the Jabodetabek metropolitan areas. The pattern of movement from the place of residence to the place of work in the metropolitan area is also a factor causing congestion. The purpose of this study is to find out the extent to which the distance factor measured by geographical distance and the proximity of the area between the place of residence and place of work has an impact on the preference for the use of transportation modes by workers who are commuting. In accordance with the availability of data in the Sakernas 2017 (National Labor Force Survey 2017) Micro Data, the transportation mode preference consists of two choices: public transportation mode or private transportation mode. The Sakernas 2017 micro data analysis was conducted with descriptive analysis (cross tabulation) and inferential analysis (Binary Logit Regression). The analysis shows that the probability of using public transportation tends to be used by workers whose travel distance is longer (above 10 km), in areas that do not directly border between residence and workplace, female workers, young workers, workers with education Junior high school and below,and workers who work in the agricultural sector. Urban managers covering the Greater Jakarta Metropolitan Area should continue to disseminate and promote the importance of using public transportation in travel from place of residence to place of work to reduce traffic congestion and urban air pollution.

Willingness to Modal Shift From Private to Public Transportation in Jakarta Metropolitan Area

“…The analytical methods used are descriptive analysis and inference analysis. A descriptive study (Chotib, 2020) emphasizes bivariate analysis in describing free variables (respondents who are not willing to use public transportation) based on the characteristics of private vehicle users in the Jakarta Metropolitan Area in 2019. The study (Ding & Zhang, 2016) inferential analysis uses binary logistic regression analysis, whose purpose is to determine the characteristics and opportunities that affect respondents unwilling to switch to public transportation from private vehicle users in Jakarta Metropolitan Area in 2019 (Irjayanti et al, 2021).…”

“…Several studies on model selection have been conducted in several countries, including (Ding & Zhang, 2016), (Triany & Chotib, 2021), (and Maharani Raijaya & Chotib, 2020) reported that factors that affect the selection of public transportation modes are age, type of work, salary, travel time and travel distance of (Chotib, 2020). Empirically (Irjayanti et al, 2021) tested the factors that influence the decision to choose the mode of transportation of workers in the Jakarta Metropolitan Area following the characteristics of its users, such as the availability of private vehicles, income, and other factors such as travel time, transportation costs, availability of space and parking rates, as well as safety and comfort while using these modes of transportation.…”

Pengaruh Biaya Perjalanan Terhadap Perubahan Pilihan Moda Transportasi: Studi Kasus Pekerja Komuter Jabodetabek

“…Masyarakat komuter Jabodetabek yang melakukan komuting pada kesehariannya berjumlah 3,2 juta jiwa pada tahun (Badan Pusat Statistik, 2019. Jumlah ini meningkat dari tahun 2017 yang hanya sebanyak 2,7 juta jiwa (Chotib, 2019). Kenaikan jumlah masyarakat komuter ini dapat diasumsikan terdapat pula kenaikan laju mobilisasi di Jabodetabek tiap tahunnya.…”
