Abstract

This study aims to analyze and compare perceptions of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) between border and non-border regions in Thailand, addressing a gap in understanding how geographic proximity influences BRI project views. Using a sample of 3,200 respondents, this study employed confirmatory factor analysis and measurement invariance techniques to examine perceptions across eight key constructs related to BRI impacts. The findings reveal significant structural differences in BRI perceptions between border and non-border regions. Non-border regions generally showed more consistently positive perceptions across all constructs, while border regions demonstrated more varied and nuanced views. Notable differences were observed in perceptions of economic benefits, logistics improvements, and social impacts. This study contributes to the field by providing a comprehensive comparative analysis of BRI perceptions across different geographical contexts within a single country, employing advanced statistical methods to ensure valid comparisons. The results suggest the need for tailored approaches to BRI implementation and communication in different regions, implementing inclusive policy-making processes, and establishing robust monitoring and evaluation systems to address the varied perceptions and potential impacts of BRI projects in Thailand. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2024-010-12-010 Full Text: PDF

Abstract

Truck drivers play a crucial role in industrial development but face disproportionately high risks of traffic-related injuries and fatalities. These risks arise from complex traffic conditions, especially in truck-congested industrial zones, and economic pressures that encourage risky driving behaviors. This study investigates key factors influencing these behaviors among truck drivers in industrial zones using an integrated framework combining the Health Belief Model and Protection Motivation Theory, a novel approach in this context. A random parameter model was employed to account for unobserved heterogeneity in drivers’ responses. The results highlight several significant psychological factors: perceived susceptibility (when drivers perceive the risk of crashes while driving), perceived severity (when drivers feel that crashes will impact their work), perceived barriers (when truck drivers perceive that fastening seat belts causes discomfort and when they perceive safety equipment for vehicles as expensive and unaffordable), cues to action (when truck drivers encounter safe driving campaigns), and health motivation (when truck drivers prioritize adequate rest and relaxation). Additionally, the study identifies route familiarity as a random effect, revealing variations in how this factor influences behavior across individuals. The study provides practical, evidence-based policy recommendations aimed at reducing road injuries and fatalities among truck drivers, offering valuable insights for policymakers, transport authorities, and logistics stakeholders.
