碩士 === 國立交通大學 === 交通運輸研究所 === 84 === This research is undertaken to study the adolescents'' risk perceptions for using different transportation modes and violating traffic laws.The Fuzzy sets theory s applied to measure the risk perception for different modes which are commonly used by adolescents.The study results show that motorcycles are perceived as the riskiest mode by adolescents,and buses are thought as the safest mode .Female adolescents'' risk perception are found significantly higher than those of male adolescents for all modes.Furthe rmore, the study results also show that adolescents'' risk perceptions decrease with the increase of their ages. In order to understand the relationship between the risk perception and the frequency of violating traffic rules,an face-to-face interview with adolescents was also conducted in this study .The results show that almost all the adolescents feel risky for their traffic violations as walking and riding bicycle or motorcycle on the road ,however, there are still significantly proportion of adolescents not to obey the traffic regulations.The study also finds the more involvement into severe traffic accidents the adolescents have experienced, the more risk perceptions they will have for traffic violations and results less frequency of violating traffic rules. This study provides the valuable information about adolescents'' risk perception to their traffic environment and their feeling for traffic violations.It might be helpful to draw related education or enforcement strategies based on this finding.
