Masalah Transportasi Kota dan Pendekatan Psikologi Sosial
Abstrak: The writer of this
article tried to clear up urban transport problems using social psychology
approach. The first major problem is about traffic jam, which is analyzed by
the concept of Tragedy of the Commons (Hardin, 1968). The second major
difficulty is the traffic accidents which are analyzed by the risk theories of
Wilde (1982, 1998), Summala (1974, 1997), and Fuller (2000). The writer also
delivers the influence of illusion of control, optimism bias, and locus of
control on risk taking decision. Moreover, the writer offers three solutions
for each of the problems and the solutions are intended for individual level,
cultural level and structural level. It is expected that this writing will give
a theoretical contributions in the subject of transportation psychology in
Indonesia. Transportation psychology is a relatively new field of applied
psychology in Indonesia, and there is not much yet attention and development
given to this particular subject. It is also expected that this writing gives
ideas for transportation policies made by the governmental officers, especially
in Indonesia's big cities.
