이용자 형태 중심 광역버스 환승정류장 가이드라인에 관한 연구

Abstract

(Background and Purpose) The use of public transportation has increased due to large numbers of people living in the Seoul metropolitan area and commuting between the metropolitan areas; however, the user satisfaction has been low. As it is necessary to resolve the qualitative inconvenience experienced by users by focusing only on quantitative expansion, this study aimed to evaluate the guidelines of transit stops for users of wide-area buses at various times and suggested universal design guidelines after examining the current situation. (Method) First, to conduct a case study on the domestic and foreign transfer stations, the street bus station, central bus station, and transfer center, which are defined as transfer station in this study based on the bus station guidelines, the scope of the research transfer station was set through theoretical consideration. Second, the transfer station facilities and design considerations were derived from the bus station guidelines, and four universal design elements, seven elements, and three keywords were derived from prior research. Third, based on the analysis of the three types of domestic and foreign transfer stations considering user behaviors, the applicability of the current guidelines was determined. (Results) According to domestic and foreign case analysis, the central bus stop and transfer center are relatively equipped with facilities and considerations compared to the street bus station. The street bus stop, which has been used for a long time, was not given any consideration in the guidelines. Overseas, the unified design was reflected by establishing a consistent policy for a long time, and its role as a transit stop was highly recognized. (Conclusion) With the growth of metropolitan population, the transfer station lacks facilities and considerations compared to the increasing number of metropolitan buses. First, considering the facilities and current guidelines in terms of universal design, and focusing on user behavior, the street bus station and facilities are insufficient, so it is necessary to improve them. Second, it necessary to urgently apply integrated guidelines and universal design to minimize confusion. Third, compared to the increasing number of commuters and the utilization rate, the current guidelines only mention the installation location of the rapid bus transfer station, which will require detailed regulations. Fourth, integrated design guidelines for the transfer station divided into three types are necessary.
