| Abstract | This study aims to propose the suitable Transportation Demand Management (TDM) strategies through the untraditional transportation planning approach, the bottom-up planning approach. In this approach, some feasible TDM strategies were developed by public involvement to promote the acceptance of people toward the proposed strategies. Furthermore, the mentioned causes and solutions by stakeholders were used to develop the cause and solution structures of traffic congestion. It was found that the inefficiency of traffic management and improper public transport services are the principal problems, while the TDM strategies are the best solutions for relieving traffic congestion in Bangkok. To determine the suitable TDM strategies and to examine the behavior of stakeholders in selecting the proposed strategies, the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) was conducted. Three stakeholders groups: government; consultant; and general people, and thirteen selection criteria were identified in the AHP model. Results of the AHP analyses revealed that the public tranSportation improvement is the most important strategy for every groups. Traffic constraint measures are the second priority in general people group, while the government group ranked as the third strategy. In addition, the sensitivity analysis was also conducted to examine the role of each stakeholder group. It was known that if the role of general peOple is increased, the prOposed solutions by general people may be different from the offered solutions by government. Finally, to meet the ultimate benefits of society, it is obvious that the transportation planners should provide the opportunity for community to participate in the transportation planning process. |
