“…In comparison to the extent of research undertaken on individuals' perception and motives involved in car sharing adoption and usage in developed countries, less research is available for developing economies. Among the existing studies, the literature review found some studies exploring car ownership decisions in Southeast-Asian countries, where the upgrade process is recently witnessing that motorcycle owners are purchasing cars [1,33,34]. Noteworthily, Fukuda et al [35] have conducted a study to investigate the possibility of car sharing application in Bangkok, among the highly-dense areas in Southeast-Asia.…”

“…One reason that likely impacts the trend that car share members are more educated is the partnerships that many car sharing schemes have established with colleges and universities [39]. In developing countries like India, individuals who are qualified at or above the post-graduation level were found to be willing to buy a car sooner [34]. Thus, it is difficult in draw the conclusion that people with higher educational backgrounds in developing countries would choose to share a car instead of owning one.…”

This paper provides some insight into factors influencing the car sharing adoption and usage in Southeast-Asian developing countries like Indonesia, where car sharing is just emerging and so far, not effectively existent. This study uses an internet survey of 600 Indonesian respondents to examine how underlying factors, such as perceived benefits of car sharing related to convenience and cost-saving aspects, perceived risks and burdens of car ownership, and perceived values of car ownership as societal status can influence their intention to use car sharing. The results of the ordered logit models reveal that car sharing use intention is influenced by perceived benefits of car sharing and perceived values of car ownership as societal status. Among demographic attributes, income level has a positive effect on car sharing use intention. The implications and proper interpretations in the interplay among them can provide a useful guide to city transportation planners and business owners who attempt to promote car sharing schemes in the Southeast-Asian market like Indonesia.

The present study aims to grasp the car ownership characteristics of households in the sub-urban area in Makassar City, Indonesia. The study considers some exogenous characteristics of the households, such house types, family size, income, motorcycle ownership, trip number, and worker number. To construct the relationship between those characteristics and the car ownership, we applied the multinomial logit model approach. This study surveyed seven residential areas in the sub-urban area of the city. The survey conducted an interviewing method using a questionnaire sheet. The survey respondents as representative of the households, which selected randomly from the residential areas. The results show that the goodness of fit of the car ownership model is acceptable enough. Further, all of the exogenous variables significantly influence the households in car ownership. We expected that the results provide a basis for further studies such time valuation of car riders, mode choice model of the households, etc.

“…There are substantial amount of investigations and studies related to vehicle ownership [6,7,5,8,9,10,11,12]. Golob [6] have studied the relationship between the competing influence on mobility on income and car ownership and also analyzed the effect of other mode of transport after controlling for the causal influence of both income and car ownership.…”

On the whole, car ownership is regarded as an imperative variable in travel behavior research. Car and motorcycle ownership are increasing rapidly in developing countries leading to an unsustainable developments. Using a data of 584 respondents from the Agartala city randomly collected, a model has been prepared to understand vehicle ownership for both car and motorized two wheeler mode (MTW). Latent variables along with socioeconomic variables such as monthly income, gender, age were used for modeling vehicle ownership using structural equation modelling. Latent variables used in this study, flexibility (Motorized Two wheeler), Negative public transportation perception and comfort (car) were found to be significant in the model. Our result suggests apart from socioeconomic variables, latent variables also explains vehicle ownership model.
