TOD(Transit Oriented Development)적용 지역의 보행환경 요소에 관한 연구 = A Study on the Pedestrian Environment Elements in the Area with Transit Oriented Development (TOD)

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

(Background and Purpose) As modernization gathers pace every year, large cities are confronted with serious urban problems. The number of cars is increasing, and the width of their roads are widening gradually, which makes walking by pedestrians increasingly difficult. After rational regional planning was implemented based on the transit-oriented development (TOD) model, an increase in walking activities by pedestrians and lower utilization of cars were seen. This study aims to examine the effect of every element in the environment on the behavior of pedestrians. In addition, it addresses the social value of public design, urban pedestrian paths, motivation to travel, and valuable references and suggestions to improve existing pedestrian paths. (Method) Keywords and descriptions of elements that affected walking behavior were identified based on three methods that evaluated the walking environment, and the analysis was based on three attributes of walking. Using case analysis, five examples of the TOD model were examined and the frequency of each element and its application were determined from interviews. To increase the objectivity of the findings, the final quantitative and qualitative analyses were performed by combining map data with walk scores. (Results) The findings of the comprehensive analysis revealed different frequencies for derived factors in the case analysis. The effects of the factors on gait behavior were also demonstrated. Overall, accessibility (10.8%) and road safety facilities (10%) had the highest score. These were followed by road conditions (9.4%), road continuity (9.4%), caring facilities (8.6%), safety facility spacing (7.9%), public facilities (7.9%), street interfaces (7.2%), street characteristics (7.2%), comfort (6.5%), and public spaces (5.7%). (Conclusions) The findings of this study showed that elements in the walking environment are closely related to diverse walking behaviors. While a high-quality walking environment can stimulate various behavioral activities, pedestrian behavior is single in a low-quality walking environment. To improve the walking environment, various factors should be considered fully. Facilities that consider the needs of pedestrians should be supplemented with access to public transportation and the establishment of a safe and reasonable walking system. In many cases, factors with low frequency were ignored, but their activation can increase social activities in pedestrians, such as rejuvenating the historical and cultural features of streets, enhancing the attractiveness of landscapes, and increasing the number of public spaces.
