Abstract
The implementation of shared parking program can effectively increase the utilization rate of existing parking space resources. At present, shared parking program has not been widely practiced in China, and the prerequisite for this prospect to be implemented is whether the private parking space owner group can quickly and widely accept shared parking program. In this study, considering the differences in the economic development, urban planning, and parking pressure in cities of different levels, the theory of planned behavior and the benefit-risk perception model (C-TPB-BRA) are combined as the theoretical framework to explore the intention to share parking space from the perspective of the owners of private parking spaces in cities of different levels. Based on China’s empirical data, structural equation models are built to verify the hypotheses proposed. Our results show that (a) the intention of private parking space owners in different levels of cities to participate in shared parking and the mechanism of action of the psychological factors are different, and not all psychological factors have a direct impact on the intention to share. In first-tier, second-tier, and third-tier cities, Subjective Norm (SN) and Perceived Behavioral Control (PBC) indirectly affect Behavior Intention (BI) through Attitude (ATT), Perceived Benefit (PB), and Perceived Risk (PR). In the fourth-tier cities, SN and PBC directly affect BI. Except for BI, other psychological factors influence each other significantly; (b) the psychological factors affecting the intention to supply shared parking spaces in first-tier, second-tier, third-tier, and fourth-tier cities, respectively, are PB > ATT > PR, PB > PR > ATT, PB > PR > ATT, and PB > SN > PBC > ATT > PR. Our research results could help determine the internal factors that affect the intention of parking space suppliers and their mechanisms of action to participate in shared parking, and on that basis, our findings could also help governments and platform operators to promote shared parking development plans.
Highlights
In recent years, the economy has developed rapidly and the number of motor vehicles has increased greatly, but the infrastructure construction and management level have not been correspondingly improved, so the contradiction between supply and demand of parking has become increasingly prominent
There are many studies on parking pricing, such as parking pricing strategies based on the marginal cost principle and suboptimal pricing theory [22, 23] and the demand-side competitive auction mechanism based on distribution rules and transaction payment rules [24]
From the existing literature on shared parking, there are few studies on the sharing intention of private parking space owners and due to the large differences in economic levels, urban planning, parking pressure, and information popularization among cities of different levels, there may be differences in the intention of private parking space owners in different levels of cities to supply shared parking spaces. In response to this problem, this paper uses the C-TPB-benefit-risk analysis (BRA) as the theoretical framework and constructs the structural equation models of cities of different levels to verify the proposed hypothesis based on China’s empirical data. is study aims to predict the intention of private parking space owners in different levels of cities to provide shared parking spaces and determines the mechanism of action of each influencing factor on the sharing intention under different urban development forms
Summary
The economy has developed rapidly and the number of motor vehicles has increased greatly, but the infrastructure construction and management level have not been correspondingly improved, so the contradiction between supply and demand of parking has become increasingly prominent. Erefore, it is very important to explore the mechanism of influencing factors of private parking space owners’ intention to provide shared parking spaces. Is paper explores the differences of parking space sharing intention and the mechanism of psychological factors from the perspective of the suppliers of shared parking spaces in cities of different levels. Some scholars used the RP/SP survey to collect data related to the traveler’s parking space choice behavior and constructed multiple Logit, nested Logit, and mixed Logit to calibrate the model of parking space search time [12,13,14]. Wang [21] developed a dynamic optimal supply strategy for parking permits and constructed a stochastic optimal control model to minimize the expected value of the total time loss of the system
