Abstract

A study was conducted to analyze the factors affecting violation behavior among road users in Thailand and Japan in order to determine appropriate policies and recommendations. The study used the theory of planned behavior (TPB) to evaluate road user behavior and attitude. Questionnaires were distributed in Bangkok, Thailand and Sapporo, resulting in 477 valid responses in Thailand and 201 in Japan. The data was analyzed using structural equation modeling (SEM). Results showed that notice failure and bicycle stunt were the most impactful factors for the bicycle model in Japan, while instrumental attitude and conformity tendency were significant for the pedestrian model. In Thailand, traffic errors and motorcycle stunts were the most impactful factors for the motorcycle model, while instrumental attitude, descriptive norm, and conformity tendency were significant for the pedestrian model. The study suggests promoting awareness of violation and accidents, teaching proper motorcycle riding techniques, and creating safe environments to prevent accidents. It also recommends cultivating consciousness in individuals behavior and emphasizing the importance of traffic rules to parents and companions.

泰国和日本青少年道路交通违规比较研究

本研究分析了影响泰国和日本道路使用者违规行为的因素，以确定适当的政策和建议。研究采用了计划行为理论（TPB）来评估道路使用者的行为和态度。研究人员在泰国曼谷和日本札幌发放了调查问卷，共收到 477 份有效答卷和 201 份有效答卷。数据采用结构方程模型（SEM）进行分析。结果表明，在日本，通知失败和自行车特技是对自行车模式影响最大的因素，而工具态度和服从倾向对行人模式影响显著。在泰国，交通失误和摩托车特技是对摩托车模型影响最大的因素，而工具态度、描述性规范和服从倾向对行人模型的影响显著。研究建议提高对违规和事故的认识，传授正确的摩托车骑行技巧，创造安全的环境以防止事故发生。研究还建议培养个人行为意识，并向父母和同伴强调交通规则的重要性。
