Based on the analysis of congestion conditions in small cities with a population of less than 500,000 in Chungcheong Province, this study conducted a feasibility study on the scope of congestion improvement projects. Further, traffic congestion management standards were further established by analyzing LOS as well as the speed of traffic presented by congestion criteria in the existing Project. According to the analysis according to the congestion management standard LOS suggested in this study, Asan city has the most major number of highways where LOS E occurs for more than 3 hours, followed by Sejong City and Gongju City. In addition, when comparing the ratio of the busy main roads according to the frequency of LOS E by city size, it was analyzed that the ratio and extension of the busy highways relative to the overall extension of the large Chungcheong area are similar to the ratio in small cities in the Chungcheong region. Therefore, traffic congestion occurred in small cities and the feasibility of the improvement project was revealed.

Urban freeway is defined as the roadway with 4 lanes or more which requires a high design criteria for handling a large capacity of vehicles rapidly as a high-speed exclusive roadway in the city. However, most of the urban freeways suffer from severe traffic congestion due to the increased traffic exceeding their capacities regardless of the morning and afternoon rushhours or the inbound and outbound directions. The purpose in this study is to collect and investigate the real-time traffic characteristics based on the ramp junction influence areas of the urban freeway connected with the Busan port, compare and analyze the traffic characteristic relationship for each lane within the ramp junction influence areas, and finally assess and suggest the optimal capacity for each lane within the ramp junction influence areas.

Noise pollution on the residential areas adjacent to urban expressway is a very severe situation. There has been a significant increases in the number of residential areas near urban expressway, and the quality of life in such areas is being degraded due to increased traffic volume and speed. In this study, several factors such as traffic volume, speed, and distance from noise source, etc. that affect the noise level were investigated for the residential areas near urban expressway. A correlation and regression model was built to examine the relationship between such traffic factors and noise. The study result found that traffic volume had a closer relationship with noise than speed had. Therefore, to decrease road traffic noise, it is more imperative to control traffic volume than traffic speed.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to quantitatively identify the environmental contribution generated by urban rail users in the metropolitan area. Method: As for the analysis method, the mode choice and assignment of the traffic demand analysis were repeatedly performed on the assumption that each line was not opened for the metropolitan urban railway lines 1 to 9. After that, the environmental contribution according to changes in demand for the road was analyzed. Result: The total amount of carbon dioxide emissions and benefits were found to be the largest for subway line 1. However, when considering the number of stations and length, it was analyzed that the environmental contribution was the greatest in Metro Line 4. Conclusion: Measures to promote the use of public transportation are representative of environmental improvement policies, but there is a limit in that it is difficult for actual users/non-users to feel it. Therefore, it is judged that it is necessary to quantitatively present the effect in order to improve and spread awareness of the environment.

도시의 발전으로 인해 시 도를 비롯한 시가 및 건조지역의 토지이용은 매우 복잡하게 변화되었다. 과거 농경이 주된 경제활동인 경우 주거지역은 매우 단순한 형태로 구성되었고 논, 밭, 산림 지역 등이 주를 이루었지만, 도시로 산업이 집중, 발달하고 인구가 밀집되며 주거지역, 상업, 공업, 교통지역 등 시가지역은 매우 다양하고 복잡하게 변화되었다. 도시가 발달하며 주거지의 건물가치와 상업 및 공업지역의 자산, 교통 및 공공시설의 공공적 가치가 상승하였고, 침수 발생시 사유재산 및 사회적 피해가 증대되고 있다. 시가 및 건조지역은 대부분 불투수율이 높은 지역으로 구성되어있으며, 이러한 도시에서 침수가 발생할 경우 지표수의 이동, 매설된 관거의 형상과 통수능에 의한 월류가 주된 원인으로 작용하여, 도로 및 건물의 형태에 의해 매우 복잡한 형태로 침수현상이 나타난다. 이러한 도시의 침수피해를 분석하기 위해 복잡하고 고 가치화된 도시의 토지이용 특성을 잘 반영한 침수 피해분석이 필요하고, 피해를 줄이고 재산을 보호하기 위한 치수시설의 도입에 따른 피해액 감소 및 경제성 분석이 우선시 되어 효율성과 타당성을 판단할 수 있어야 한다. 토지이용 특성이 반영되지 않을 경우 피해액을 다소 과소, 과대하게 산정할 수 있다. 홍수피해의 경제성을 분석하기 위한 방법에는 다차원 홍수피해 산정방법이 있으며, 경제성 분석은 하천의 정비상태, 하도 및 관거, 제방 및 유수지 등 홍수 방지시설 등 구조적, 비구조적 대책을 모두 대상으로 하여야 하며, 인명과 재산이 집중된 도시의 경우 보다 정확한 피해액을 산정할 필요가 있다. 본 연구는 과거 침수피해가 있었던 도림천 유역을 대상으로 도시지역의 유출모의에 적합하다고 알려진 SWMM 모형을 활용하여 도시유출 해석 및 침수현상을 분석하였으며, 다차원 홍수피해 산정방법을 활용하여 주거, 상업 및 공업자산을 반영하기 우해 토지이용 특성에 따른 침수피해액을 분석하였다.

The main objective of study was to analyze the effectiveness of transit mall. To this end, this study compared operational status of transit malls in operation (Daegu, Seoul and Busan). For the city of Busan where the latest transit mall became operational in 2015, a discriminant model was proposed to determine user satisfaction/dissatisfaction. The outcomes of comparative study showed that each city has different operational focus - Seoul has focus on traffic demand management, Busan has focus on walking environment, and Daegu has focus on accessibility to public transportation. Also, the discriminant model indicated that market sentiment, convenience of bus service, traffic accident risk, number of pedestrian, market user number have effects on user satisfaction. These results implied that, to improve user satisfaction, measures for market revitalization such as opening events and forming consultative groups need to be prepared and traffic conditions should also be improved through expansion of curfew time, linkage with subway station.

This study was to construct the linear density predictive models on the on-ramp junctions in urban freeway. From the analyses of the real-time traffic characteristic data, and the construction and verification of the linear density predictive models, the models showed a considerable explanatory power with the determination coefficients ($R^2$) of over 0.7 between the density and speed data. Also, they showed a considerably high correlativeness with the correlation coefficients (r) of over 0.8 between the calculated density data and the expected ones estimated by the models.

In this study, climate change considerations are an important measure to create a resilient city that conforms to the principle of sustainable development that balances the economic, social and environmental harmony of a country or city and can preserve its size, function and characteristics to the maximum extent possible. In this regard, the public transportation system being built and operated in Dublin City, Ireland, illustrates the city's system through green traffic. Therefore, based on the urban-based conditions equipped by Dublin, Ireland, in that Dublin is realizing preemptive mass-traffic-oriented urban development (TOD) considering climate change, the purpose of the study was to classify the methods of research as internal (strong and weak) and external (opportunity and threat) factors through SWOT analysis and to present mass-oriented urban development strategies and policy implications.

This study aims to develop urban scenarios for future cities and validate the future city scenarios using a Delphi method. The scenarios of future city was derived from urban structure, land use, transportation, and urban infrastructure and development using big data analysis, environmental scanning techniques, and literature review. The Delphi survey interviewed 24 erudite scholars and experts across 6 nations including Korea, USA, UK, Japan, China, Australia and India. The Delphi survey structure was designed to test future city scenarios, verified by the 5-point Likert scale. The survey also asked the timing of each scenario likely happens by the three terms of near-future, mid-future and far-future. Results of the Delphi survey reveal the following points. Firstly, for the future urban structure it is anticipated that urban concentration continues and higher density living in global mega cities near future. In the mid-future small and medium size cities may decrease. Secondly, the land use pattern in the near-future is expected of increasing space sharing and mixed or layered vertical land-use. In addition underground space is likely to be extended in the mid-future. Thirdly, in the near-future, transport and infrastructure was expected to show ICT embedded integration platform and public and private smart transport. Finally, the result of Delphi survey shows that TOD (Transit Oriented Development) becomes a development norm and more emphasis on energy and environment fields.
