Exploring Trip Chain Pattern Choices at Urban Relaxation Facilities: A Case Study of Lego-Lego in Central Point of Indonesia

Abstract

Lego-Lego at Central Point of Indonesia (CPI) is one of the famous relaxation facility areas currently hosting numerous visitors, specifically on weekends. People tend to spend their time at the first multi-purpose facilities in the morning and afternoon, causing traffic congestion and long queues at the entrance and exit. Therefore, this study explored the trip chain activity pattern and behavior of visitors using the facilities provided in Lego-Lego. This study was considered necessary because the government and stakeholders need to understand the trip chain pattern choices preferred by the people to give infrastructure, manage traffic problems, and formulate relevant regulations. The data were collected through interview-based questionnaires randomly distributed to visitors and analyzed using a multinomial logistic regression model to determine individual and trip characteristics. The results showed the variables with significant impacts on the trip chain and the trip chain models for the morning and afternoon were similar. It was also discovered that the probability of selecting trip chain pattern 1 reduced as the time activity increased while the probability of selecting patterns 2, 3, and 4 increased. This indicated that time activity influenced the trip chain activity pattern, but the cost was not. Another important observation was that the greater the diversity of facilities influencing the activity-travel patterns, the more time was required to engage in the activities.
