Abstract

In this study, the indicators for evaluating the level of green growth in transportation are proposed. The authors reviewed the existing philosophies such as sustainable development and eco-efficiency and explained the differences between the philosophies and green growth. The planning hierarchy and indicator framework are proposed and the idea of indicators is also introduced. In order to decide the weighting value for objectives and targets, a questionnaire survey for transportation experts was conducted. The survey results show that low-carbon/environmentally-friendly development is the most important objective. In addition, the results reveal that transportation experts do not fully understand the concept of green growth and cannot differentiate the concept of green growth from that of sustainable development and eco-efficiency.

본 연구의 목표는 전문가 조사를 통해 교통부문 녹색성장을 구성하는 부문들의 상대적 중요성을 밝히고 각 부문별 평가 지표를 개발하는 것이다. 이를 위해 먼저 지속가능한 개발이나 생태효율성이라는 기존의 개발 개념과 녹색성장이 어떠한 공통점을 가지며, 녹색성장 고유의 속성은 무엇인지를 설명하였다. 그리고 기존의 연구들을 토대로 교통부문에서 그간 이용되어온 지표들을 선정하였다. 본 연구의 목표인 올바른 지표설계를 위해 평가지표의 구조를 전체목표, 개별목표, 상세 목표로 위계화하여 제시하였으며, 균형있는 지표 설정을 위해 부정적 지표와 긍정적 지표의 개념도 제시하였다. 각 개별목표와 상세목표의 전체목표에 대한 상대적 기여도의 결정을 위해 교통부문 전문가들을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하고 설문조사 결과를 토대로 AHP 분석을 통해 각 목표들의 가중치를 계산하였다. 분석결과 저탄소 친환경성이 가장 높은 가중치를 갖는 것으로 나타났으며, 경제활동성이 전체 목표달성에서 가장 낮은 비중을 차지하였다. 이를 통해 현재 교통전문가들이 녹색성장 중 성장 부문에 대한 인식이 부족하며, 녹색성장이라는 새로운 개념과 과거의 지속가능한 개발이나 생태효율성을 명확히 구분하지 못한다는 사실을 확인하였다.
