Keywords:
Road Safety Management, Participation, ModelAbstract
This Participatory Action Research (PAR) aimed to develop a participation model on road safety management with a kindergarten community situated in Ubon Ratchathani. Observation, testing interview, meeting record, and satisfaction survey were used to gather data. The participants were 165 stakeholders and developers. Statistics used were frequency, percentage, and pair t-tests.
Results revealed that 13 teachers and 122 kids were traveling to and from kindergarden by motorcycle (86.49%), by car (12.21%), or by foot with parents (1.30%). Most of parents (62.82%) who used motorbike were not using a helmet and nearly all kids (92.68% were travelling without any head protection. In the previous academic year, one kid had passed away from a traffic accident. Moreover, 3 places were the risk of accident. The participation model of road safety management consisted of 6 steps: 1) build relationship for cooperation, 2) investigate accident situation, 3) establish the goals, 4) design activities for road accident reduction, and 6) evaluation. Evaluation of the model trial found that 98.5% of respondents were satisfied with the model. It is the place as a learning model from 50 agencies in Thailand.
The results of this study suggest that participation model of road safety can be applied within kindergartens and schools, depending on context.
