초록

한국은 2026년에 초고령화 사회(super aged society)로 진입될 것으로 예상된다. 그럼에도 불구하고 보행은 인간의 기본적인 이동권리라는 측면에서 교통약자의 대부분을 차지하는 고령자의 안전하고 편리한 이동권리 확보는 가장 기초적인 복지로 중요하지만 간과되기 싶다. 이러한 측면에서 본 논문에서는 교통시설물을 설계시 활용을 위한 고령자의 보행특성을 분석하여 제시하였다. 운동 역학적인 보행변수들을 일반인과 비교한 결과, 모든 변수들이 일반인에 비하여 약 75% 수준으로 분석되었다. 고령자는 일반인에 비하여 보행속도가 느리고, 어깨의 움직임이 적은 대신 발목의 움직임이 많으며, 발을 낮게 들며, 지면반발력이 크게 작용되는 등의 보행변수별 보행특성이 조사되었다. 또한 고령자 집단은 집단 안에서도 보행변수별로 서로 차이가 크며, 이를 walking Balance Muscles Factor별로 2개 혹은 3개로 집단화가 가능함을 군집분석을 통하여 알아보았다. 이와 같은 고령자 보행특성은 보도, 경사 및 단차 등의 교통시설물 설계에 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

Korea is expected to enter 'Super Aged Society' in 2026. However, as walking is the very basic human right of mobility, securing safe and convenient moving of elderly people comprising the majority of transportation vulnerable is thought to be the most basic welfare, which can be easily neglected. From this perspectives, this study provides the walking characteristics of elderly people to be used in design of pedestrian facilities. The analysis of the measurements using Motion Analysis Systems shows that all walking factors of elderly people is 75% level of the younger group. Elderly group shows slower movement, reduced shoulder movement and increased ankle movement compared to the others. Also, foots are risen less and ground repulsive force is increased. Cluster analysis shows that the group of the elderly shows high variability inside the group, and 2 or 3 clusters can be formed with factors of Walking, Balance and Muscles. These walking characteristics can be used in designing pedestrian road, slope and step height of roadway facilities.
