42nd Doctoral Promotion

Doctoral Study Program in Engineering Sciences (PSDIT) Faculty of Engineering, Udayana University on Friday, August 12, 2022, at 10.00 WITA located in the Wiswakarma Hall, Udayana University, held the 42nd Doctoral promotion. Promovendus I Made Rai Ridartha with the dissertation title Analysis of the Effects of Push-Pull Policy on Behavior Changes for Students Using Motorcycles in Bali Province. Promovendus's study period is 2 years 4 months (excluding 1 semester leave) and is declared to have passed with a GPA of 3.71 with a very satisfactory predicate.

Dr. Ir. I Made Rai Ridartha, ATD., M.Eng.Sc in his presentation conveyed that the phenomenon of student shuttle activities using motorbikes was one of the causes of transportation problems. This phenomenon appears in almost all of Indonesia regions, including in Gianyar Regency. The frequency of these activities is influenced, among others, by the timetable for teaching and learning at school (half-day school) and the behavior and habits of the community in road traffic. Students riding motorbike are getting stronger along with the low quality of public transportation services. Data collected from 14 Junior High Schools in Gianyar Regency shows that almost 48% of students are picked up by their parents using motorbikes. Meanwhile, 17.80% of students ride their own motorbikes for school activities. The consequences of this problem include congestion and possible traffic accidents, inefficient use of time and money and air pollution. On the other hand, the Gianyar Regency Government has operated free student transportation #AMAN to serve students in 43 Junior High Schools, although its operations have not covered the entire region. The purpose of this study was to analyze both push and pull strategies in influencing student activities using motorbikes The results of the study indicate that the success of the policy in reducing motorbikes as a mode of student transportation must include an integration between non-transportation policies such as full day school and transportation policies such as the use of free school bus.
