Abstract |
: |
Private transportation plays the most important role among other transportation
modes in moving people either within cities or between them. Since the city of Jeddah is the
second largest city in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, this study is covering demand for new
private cars in it, explaining the most important factors affecting it. The data used are drawn
from a sample of families resident in Jeddah in order to estimate the demand function.
Factors affecting demand are classified into two categories; socio-economic characteristics
of households and characteristics of cars. Meanwhile, cars were classified into three
categories according to their prices.
Using (OLS) to estimate the suggested demand function, the research results found
that the most factors affecting demand for the first category are age of head of family,
number of drivers and the variables representing full consumption and services provided by
car agents. The demand for the second category cars is affected by average price of the car,
number of children, age of head of family, number of drivers, and the variables representing
cars appearance, fuel consumption and services provided by car agents. The demand for the
third category cars is affected by income, number of driver license holders in the family,
number of drivers per family, and finally the variables representing cars appearance, and the
services provided by car agents. |
