MOTORCYCLIST’S WILLINGNESS TO PAY FOR SLIGHT INJURIES REDUCTION DUE TO MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENTS (CASE STUDY: DENPASAR, BALI)
Abstract: This
study investigates motorcyclist’s willingness to pay (WTP) for slight injuries
reduction due to
motor vehicle accidents
in the city
of Denpasar, Bali Province,
using logistic regression
technique. The study
found that total travel
distance per day
by all motorcyclists
in the household,
groups of motorcyclists aged
between 25 and 34 years old, between 35 and 44 and between 55 and
64 years old
influenced about 50%,
36%, 35% and
86% respectively on motorcyclist’s WTP for 25% slight injuries
reduction and about 50%, 64%, 65% and
14% respectively on
motorcyclist’s WTP for 15% slight injuries reduction. Total travel
distance per day by all
motorcyclists in the
household shared equal probabilities in
influencing motoryclist’s WTP
for both 15%
and 25% slight injuries reductions.
Groups of motorcyclists
aged between 55
and 64 years
old prefered 25% to
15% slight injuries
reduction compared with
younger motorcyclists.
