Abstract

Introduction: In order to solve the problems of air pollution produced by mobile transportation, especially in cities, micromobility transportation was invented. Micromobility is a lightweight vehicle used for short distance (8km) travel by one person. Micromobility is noted for enhancing public transit accessibility, lowering automotive emissions, and improving the environment. Because there is no research on micromobility knowledge, attitudes, and practises in Malaysia, it is uncertain whether all Malaysians are aware of the benefits and risks associated with micromobility. Objectives: To determine the level of public knowledge, attitudes, and practices related to micromobility usage in Cyberjaya. Methodology: A cross sectional study was carried out between October until December 2021 involving 400 respondents from Cyberjaya’s residents using a convenience sampling. Online self-administered questionnaire has been distributed to the respondent. Data on the socio-demographics, knowledge about micromobility, attitudes towards micromobility, and practice of micromobility had been collected. Descriptive analysis, and Chi-square analysis had been used for data analysis by using SPSS. Results and Discussion: The median knowledge score was 7.00 (IQR=2.0). Result shows that majority of the respondents (79.5%) had good knowledge on micromobility, and a less than a quarter of the respondents (20.5%) had poor knowledge. The median attitude score was 6.00 (IQR=2). About half of the respondents (54.8%) have positive attitude toward micro-mobility usage, and another half of the respondents (45.3%) had negative attitude about micromobility usage. Favourable attitude was among those aged <35 years old. Conclusion: Study participants preceded good knowledge. However, positive attitude and good practice on micromobility usage is still not sufficient based on our survey. Further study on factors associated with the knowledge, attitudes and practice of the micromobility usage to prioritize the significant factors that should be tackled when implementing the micromobility. Keywords: micromobility; knowledge; attitude; practice; Cyberjaya residents
