교통약자의 보행안전성 평가에 미치는 영향요인 연구

Abstract

This study surveyed and analyzed the factors that influence children’s and the elderly’s pedestrian safety evaluations among Gyeongi Province’s transportation vulnerable. The study developed an ordered logistic model to analyze pedestrian safety, given the survey results. The analysis result reports that safety is evaluated highly when children and the elderly think the pedestrian environment in the neighborhood is comfortable. School parents who believe that pedestrian cleanliness is important, that the walking comfort of the neighborhood is highly valued, that the protection zone should have adequate crossroad facilities, that drivers should obey traffic signals, and that the protection zone should be equipped with improved traffic safety facilities, should evaluate that children walk safely. With regard to the elderly, when they think that the cleanness, green space, and street light arrangement of the pedestrian path are important, and the walking comfort of the neighborhood is evaluated highly, they acknowledge the protection zone of the neighborhood, and when there are enough crossroad facilities in the elderly protection zone, the elderly evaluate pedestrian safety highly. If the protection zone-centered policy for the transportation vulnerable considers various factors that can evaluate pedestrian safety and comfort at the level of the city, the transportation vulnerable would feel safe when they walk.
