Authors : Lakehal Rafika . Chikhi Billal .

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to understand the economic impacts of social representations of transportation modes; in particular, the cost estimation of mobility using the two modes of transport in relation to its social representations. In order to achieve that we developed a questionnaire for collecting social representation that we passed with users sample of the two modes; by asking respondents to associate qualifiers car and public transport and to structure these elements together, according to their significance and connotation. Also, participants were asked about the annual cost of vehicle and the monthly cost of their travel using public transport. A survey was conducted amongst 56 users of both types of transport. Participants ranged in age from 19 years to 56 years; as a result the average was 37 years. The results indicate that the car is the most widely used in mobility for the purpose of travel, tourism and it's the absolute choice and that total by over 70%. The majority of people have positive social representations of car and negative social representations of public transport. For costs estimation of car, 93% of participants who overestimate their spending think that car requires a lot of expenses. 60% of participants who underestimate their expenses think that public transport is expensive. Contrary to participants how overestimate their expenses, 67% of them think that public transport is inexpensive.
