摘要

这项研究旨在调查海岸角大学汽车拥有量上升对交通拥堵的影响。本研究采用定量和描述性设计,采用方便抽样的方法,选取了250名受访者(高级成员、工人、学生(私家车车主)、商业出租车司机、班车司机和小巴司机)。问卷调查和结构化访谈是主要的数据收集工具。然后在统计产品服务解决方案的帮助下使用百分比和频率分析数据,并使用Excel 2020版本使用表格和图表呈现。然而,访谈中的回答被逐字记录下来,并根据研究的目标进行主题讨论。研究发现,校园汽车拥有量的增加影响了校园道路交通拥堵。此外,道路交通拥堵浪费了人们的时间,延误了交通,提高了当地的温度,增加了燃料费用,降低了生产率和交通事故。此外,私家车和的士是大部分受访者使用的车辆类型。调查还发现,汽车保有量的增加,尤其是私家车、出租车、小巴和穿梭巴士的增加,是校园道路交通拥堵的主要原因。因此,建议大学的交通部门在校园内提供足够的停车空间。最后,学校的交通部门应该教育校园里的汽车使用者交通管理者和其他人的本质。

Rising Car Ownership and Traffic Congestion in the University of Cape Coast Campus
The study sought to examine the effects of rising car ownership on traffic congestion in the University of Cape Coast. The study used a quantitative and descriptive design of which convenience sampling was used to select 250 respondents (senior members, workers (TEWU), students (private car owners), commercial taxi drivers, shuttle drivers as well as minibus drivers). Questionnaire and structured interviews were the main data collection instruments used. The data was then analysed with the help of Statistical Product for Service Solution using percentages and frequencies and presented by using tables and charts using Excel 2020 version. However, the responses from the interviews were transcribed verbatim and discussed thematically based on the objectives of the study. It was found out that rising car ownership on campus influences road traffic congestion on campus. Also, road traffic congestion waste people’s time, delay movements, increase local temperature, increase expenses on fuel, low productivity and road accidents. Moreover, private cars and taxis were the type of cars used by majority of the respondents. It was also found that rise in car ownership, especially private cars, taxis, minibuses and shuttle buses were the major cause of road traffic congestion on campus. It is, therefore, recommended that the transport section of the University should provide enough spaces on campus for car stopping and parking. Lastly, the transport section of the University should educate the car users on campus on the essence of traffic regulators and others.
