Social Factor to Determine Social Acceptance Toward ELV Management

Abstract

Abstract Indonesia, as a country with a highly developed automotive sector, is ranked 2nd under Thailand in the number of 4-wheeled vehicle production. However, the high number of automotive industries in Indonesia has directly threatened the high number of vehicles classified as end-of-life vehicles (ELV). Until now, Indonesia has been unable to address the ELV problem adequately; all efforts have been made to reduce the number of vehicles that are not suitable for use in Indonesia, such as the implementation of periodic emission tests, euro 2 and euro 4. Still, this regulation has not received a positive response from the public. This study attempts to test the previously designed acceptance model, in which external and internal factors from within the individual are considered. The findings of this study provide an overview of the social acceptance model for new policies, indicating that the government must consider each factor before developing and implementing new regulations.
