Abstract

The increasing use of personal mobility has led to a rise in traffic accidents and social issues. Consequently, the government is continually revising laws and regulations to address the problems associated with personal mobility. This study conducted a survey that reflects user characteristics and public perceptions based on the law revised in May 2021. The personal characteristics, legal awareness, usage patterns, risk characteristics, and risk factors were analyzed. The analysis indicated that driving on roads without separate sidewalks, speeding, and carrying passengers are hazardous practices. Moreover, Poor awareness of the legal framework governing personal mobility results in law violations. These results are significant as they highlight the need for policy measures regarding institutional and legal improvements, and they underscore the importance of enhancing social awareness about safety as personal mobility become more widespread.

개인형 이동장치의 사용 증가에 따라 관련 교통사고와 사회적 문제가 증가하는 상황에서 정부는 문제 해결을 위해 관련 법규를 지속적으로 개정하고 있다. 개정된 법규가 개인형 이동장치 안전에 미치는 영향력을 분석하기 위해 본 연구에서는 2021년 5월에 개정된 법규에 기반하여 사용자가 느끼는 위험특성과 법제도에 대한 대중의 인식을 반영한 설문조사를 실시하였다. 설문조사 결과, 보도와 차도가 구분되지 않은 도로주행, 과속주행, 2인 탑승 등이 개인형 이동장치의 위험특성으로 분석되었으며 이는 개정된 개인형 이동장치 관련 법제도에 대한 인지도가 낮기 때문이라는 결론을 도출하였다. 따라서 개인형 이동장치의 보급이 확대됨에 따라 개인형 이동장치 관련 제도개선에 대한 시민들의 인지도 및 개선된 법규의 준수율 향상이 반드시 필요하다.
