Pro-Environmental Behaviour in Travel Mode Choice of Graduate Students: Case Study in Jakarta

The choice of public transportation is considered a pro-environmental behavior in regards to emissions mitigation, therefore leads to sustainability. This paper attempts to understand graduate students’ pro-environmental behavior in travel mode choice towards public transportation, and to observe correlation between socio-demographic factors and pro- environmental behavior. This research was conducted in University X in Jakarta with 82 respondents, analyzed in quantitative approach (SPSS) and mix method. Using Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB), this research concludes that attitude is the most dominant sub-variable of behavior, seen from correlation between attitude and subjective norm, intention, and respondents’ age.
