| Summary: | Motorcycle usage in Indonesia’s big cities has been increasing rapidly for the past few years. Increased ownership of private vehicles, including motorcycle, can indeed cause many transportation problems. On the other hand, with the limited public transport services, the lack of private vehicles can cause a person to experience social exclusion. In the field of transportation, the issue of social exclusion arises from the understanding that the provision of transportation services could cause different social impact on certain individuals and groups (Banister and Hall, 1981). Individuals and groups, who are not served by existing transportation systems, can experience social exclusion due to lack of access to opportunities (Preston and Raje, 2007). So far, theories explaining transport-related social exclusion and vehicle ownership are mostly come from the research in well-developed countries. In those countries, motorcycle usage is very rare, so that the research mostly focuses on automobile. This paper is aimed to formulate a conceptual framework of the motorcycle ownership as part of the transport-related social exclusion theory. The framework is developed based on literature review. This framework will be used as the methodology in conducting further study of the role and implication of motorcycle ownership in relation with transport-related social exclusion
