The illegal parking problem of motorcycles and bicycles is a type of social dilemma. Individual behavior results from the interaction between maximizing personal interests and personal morality when people lie in social dilemma. Previous studies noted that a structural strategy related to institutional change can improve cooperation among people. However, many studies have demonstrated that a structural strategy only cannot resolve social problems in an essential and fundamental way. Only by combining the structural strategy and a psychological strategy can achieve the desired effect. This study is based attitude theory, and models the decision process of people who are considering illegally parking motorcycles or bicycles by Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). Additionally, this study investigates the effect of applying the psychological strategy on solving the illegal parking problem. A follow-up method is applied to gather panel data. Students at National Cheng Kung University, Taiwan, are the subjects (n=178). Three conclusions are obtained. 1) Only providing specific information concerning how to not park illegally may reduce illegal parking rate for motorcycles and bicycles by 20%. 2) By SEM, the structure of individual’s decision-making process under parking problems can be confirmed. 3) Persuasive communication plays an important role in the decision-making process. Consequently, a psychological strategy can supplement a structural strategy and is helpful in solving this social dilemma associated with urban transportation planning. |
