Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze the choice behavior of the mode of transportation for travel from Korea to China. Discrete choice analysis is utilized to establish the factors that affect travelers' choice and to quantify the importance of these factors in transportation mode choices. The proposed choice models were constructed by using stated-preference (SP) data obtained from Chungcheongnam-do. This study also examined different choice behavior in order to capture any previously unobserved differences in the residence area. Results showed that the access time and frequency attributes are the most significant factors, while the travel time attributes are the least significant factors for travelers' choice behaviour. The insights of the results described in this research provide some practical suggestions to transportation providers for planning and strategic management endeavors in the future.

항공 및 해상교통수단의 발전과 소득 및 여가시간의 증대로 해외로 출국하는 여행객의 수는 매년 증가하고 있는 실정이다. 하지만 충청남도는 한국에서 유일하게 공항이 없는 지역으로 충남도민들은 해외 여행 시 인천 등 타 지역을 통해 여행을 하여야 하는 불편함을 겪고 있다. 이에 본 연구는 충남도민들의 접근교통에 따른 운송수단 선택행동에 관하여 분석하였다. 이를 위하여 Stated-preference(SP) data를 활용하여 Multinominal Logit Model(MNL)을 이용하였다. 충남도민들이 해외여행 시 운송수단 선택의 경우 거주지에 따라 다른 특성을 보이는 것으로 분석되었다. 또한 거주지-공항/항만까지 접근성이 공항/항만-목적지까지 운송보다 교통수단 선택행동에 더 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 분석됐다. 특히 접근소요시간 및 접근교통 운영 빈도요인이 가장 큰 영향을 미치고 있는 반면 운송시간이 상대적으로 적은 영향을 미치고 있는 것으로 분석되었다. 운송수단의 선택은 여객터미널 선정에도 영향을 미치는 것으로 여객터미널 운영사는 접근성을 중요하게 고려하여야 한다. 접근교통수단의 개선은 인천공항을 이용하여 중국으로 출국하는 이용객 중 일부 여객 수요가 전환될 수 있다는 결론이 도출되었다.
