| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立交通大學 === 交通運輸研究所 === 84 === This research is undertaken to study the adolescents''
risk perceptions for using different transportation
modes and violating traffic laws.The Fuzzy sets theory
s applied to measure the risk perception for different
modes which are commonly used by adolescents.The study
results show that motorcycles are perceived as the
riskiest mode by adolescents,and buses are thought as
the safest mode .Female adolescents'' risk perception
are found significantly higher than those of male
adolescents for all modes.Furthe rmore, the study
results also show that adolescents'' risk
perceptions decrease with the increase of their ages.
In order to understand the relationship between the
risk perception and the frequency of violating traffic
rules,an face-to-face interview with adolescents was also
conducted in this study .The results show that almost all
the adolescents feel risky for their traffic violations as
walking and riding bicycle or motorcycle on the road ,however,
there are still significantly proportion of adolescents not to
obey the traffic regulations.The study also finds the more
involvement into severe traffic accidents the
adolescents have experienced, the more risk perceptions they
will have for traffic violations and results less frequency of
violating traffic rules.
This study provides the valuable information about adolescents''
risk perception to their traffic environment and their feeling
for traffic violations.It might be helpful to draw related
education or enforcement strategies based on this finding.
