Abstract
The aim of this research is to analyze factors affecting bicycle accidents using the PLS structural equation. Accident types in this study were categorized into total accidents, serious injuries including death, and light injuries which occurred at nationwide Si Gun Gu. It was found that urbanization was the main factor for bicycle accidents through the accident models developed in this study. Population, ratio of economically active population, density of intersections, ratio of urbanized area, commercial and industrial land-uses, number of drive license holders, number of education institutions, number of parks were the main factors causing bicycle accidents. Besides, length of bicycle roads, number of bicycles, and ratio of bicycle as mode choice also increased bicycle accidents.
