Abstract

Over 80% of Korea's cargo transport relies on public roads. Such over-reliance has created a range of social problems including environmental damage. Korea thus faces an urgent need to establish an alternative mode of cargo transportation. In view of the changing international logistics environment, railway is clearly a superior mode of transport. The prerequisite task today for Korea is to enhance the competitiveness of inland railway by switching to railway and spurring new demand for cargo. This study examines inland railway cargo transport from the demand perspective. Specifically, through the use of a survey, the study identifies key factors influencing the decisions of container shippers regarding the use of railway for cargo transport. The survey responses were statistically tested using Smart PLS structural equation modeling. The results indicate that attitude toward railway use had the strongest influence on choice, while the key variable affecting attitude formation was cost.

국내 화물운송의 80% 이상을 분담하고 있는 공로중심의 내륙운송체계는 환경문제를 비롯한 다양한 사회적 비용을 야기시키고 있어 다른 운송수단으로의 화물전환이 요구되고 있다. 특히 변화하는 국제 물류환경을 고려해볼 때, 철도는 지속가능한 대안적 운송수단임에 분명하며, 도로화물을 철도로 전환시키고 새로운 수요를 창출하여 내륙철도의 경쟁력을 확보하는 일은 미래를 예측하고 대비하기 위한 필수적 선행과제가 되었다. 따라서 본 연구는 내륙철도 이용 확대를 위하여 컨테이너화주를 대상으로 컨테이너 화물을 철도로 유인하기 위한 핵심 요인을 밝히고자 설문조사를 실시하고 SmartPLS구조방정식모델링 분석기법을 통하여 결과를 도출하였다.
