Students Behavior towards Energy Conservation and Modes of Transportation: A Case Study in Mahasarakham University

Abstract

To change students' behavior to the energy-conservative modes of transportation, the study investigates their traveling behavior and factors influencing environmental attitude and behaviors towards the energy conservative modes of transportation. Utilizing the Mahasarakham University as a case study, the research took the scenario study approach by setting up three hypothetical conditions—Ridesharing or Carpool, Car-free day, and Ribbon-Bicycle projects. Questionnaire survey was conducted with 250 students from six faculties. Results from the study will be of benefit to the university's energy-conservative program.
