The study considers some exogenous characteristics of the households, such house types, family size, income, motorcycle ownership, trip number, and worker number. To construct the relationship between those characteristics and the car ownership, we applied the multinomial logit model approach. This study surveyed seven residential areas in the sub-urban area of the city. The survey conducted an interviewing method using a questionnaire sheet. The survey respondents as representative of the households, which selected randomly from the residential areas. The results show that the goodness of fit of the car ownership model is acceptable enough. Further, all of the exogenous variables significantly influence the households in car ownership. We expected that the results provide a basis for further studies such time valuation of car riders, mode choice model of the households, etc. © The Authors, published by EDP Sciences, 2018. %O cited By 1; Conference of 2018 International Conference on Civil, Offshore and Environmental Engineering 2018, ICCOEE 2018 ; Conference Date: 13 August 2018 Through 14 August 2018; Conference Code:140464 %L scholars9955 %J MATEC Web of Conferences %D 2018 %R 10.1051/matecconf/201820305005 %T Car Ownership of Households in Sub-Urban Area in Makassar City %I EDP Sciences %V 203 %A M.
