Travel behavior of urban kampong residents and formal housing residents for shopping activity: Case of Yogyakarta City

Shopping is one of the important activities that is carried out by the residents to meet their daily needs. It also has some relationship with the built environment condition around the resident's houses. If the residential area cannot provide the needs of the residents, then the residents will travel out of the residential area, especially using private vehicle. Yogyakarta is one of the city in Indonesia which has a type of settlement that can support sustainable development by increasing pedestrian trips. On the other hand, the number of private vehicles in Yogyakarta always increase year by year. Therefore, the aim of this study is to identify the travel behavior for shopping activity at two kinds of urban settlement which have some differences in their built environment condition. This study is conducted by quantitative method with data collection using questionnaires and it is assisted by field observation. The result of this analysis using Mann Withney U-test shows that there are some differences of shopping travel behavior between urban kampong residents and formal housing residents. However, the chi-square test shows some weak relationships between travel behavior and built environment. In the other words, built environment does not significantly affects the shopping travels in Yogyakarta city, as well as many developed theories.
