  • The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between children's walking safety or risk of traffic accident and the physical environments around 20 public elementary schools in Changwon-si, Gyeongsangnam-do. Field surveys were conducted to assess the street-level objective and subjective walking environments. The GIS method was used for measuring the neighborhood-level land use patterns. Children's walking safety and risk of traffic accident data were collected from the 6,381 grade 5 to 6 students attending 18 elementary schools through the questionnaire survey. Correlation analysis showed that walking safety and risk of traffic accident of the elementary students were associated with the number of temporary or permanent obstacles on the sidewalk, traffic safety signs, driveway and street intersections, street lights, and percentage of detached housing area and road area on neighbourhood-level. This research will promote to help with constructing a safe routes to school and walking-friendly healthy community.

  • 이 연구는 보행우선구역 사업이 얼마나 목적을 달성하고 있는지 평가하고 분석하는 것이 목적입니다. 연구결과 보행우선구역 사업으로 방문객이 증가한 것을 확인 할 수 있으며, 상권의 영향력이 사업 전보다 더 광역화 된 것을 알 수 있습니다. 이에 따라 지역의 주차수요를 증가시키는 요인이 될 수 있기 때문에 주차공간을 별도로 확보하는 것이 바람직합니다. 또한 방문자 수가 늘어나고 체류시간이 길어지면서 주변의 청결상태가 열악해 질 수 있기 때문에 청결유지를 위한 노력을 더 기울여야 합니다.

  • This paper suggests the evaluation method of gait analysis in measurements obtained using the "Foot Scanner" and "Foot Analyzer" system. Previous examination method with the unaided eye on the sole of the foot and analysis method of pressure distribution in gait have been discussed by many researchers. Also they have concerned with pressure curve, COP(center of pressure) trace, and velocity in COP. However experiment results depend on test environment and conditions of subjects. Consequently we need to regard the special energy parameter for solving the problem. The kinetic energy and impulse parameter can be used as parameters of gait analysis. The results of this study confirmed the validity of presented of the parameters through the experiment with eight subjects.

  • The pattern recognition or fuzzy inference, which is mainly used for the development of the automatic walking mode change of the above knee prosthesis, has a disadvantage in that it is difficult to estimate with the immediate change of the walking environment. In order to solve a disadvantage, this paper developed an algorithm that automatically converts the walking mode of the next step by estimating the walking environment at a specific gait phase. Since the proposed algorithm should be implanted and operated in the microcontroller, it is developed using the random forest base in consideration of calculation amount and estimated time. The developed random forest based gait and environmental estimation model were implanted in the microcontroller and evaluated for validity.

  • The main purpose of this study is to discriminate the pedestrian environment by simple calculation such as using the matrix from pedestrian level of service. However, the general use of pedestrian level of service cannot discriminate the environment of footpaths, especially in Seoul. Most of the passages in Seoul are showing level A, which means most passages are spacious, but pedestrians don't agree that passages are wide enough to walk. In conclusion, comparing the pedestrian level of service with pedestrian satisfaction in different circumstances such as use of building in lower floors. Test areas are 1,157 spots in Seoul. First, The new pedestrian level of service shows equally in all spots. Second, spots where the highest pedestrian satisfaction are mostly in level B or level C, thus planning the walkways in future, level B or level C is recommended in most cases.

  • The walking is very important because of its environment friendly and low accident rate, and transferring is also important as increasing public transportation uses. Facilities for transferring such as transfer path in Sadang station and internal stairways in Sindorim station are the object of this paper. Using preexistence methodology for Level of Service is not appropriate to transferring facilities because they are occurred only when the train arrive that station. To solve this problem, this paper uses queuing theory and utilization factor. In result, we can get Level of Service which can simulate real situation of the facilities by using new methodology which introduce by this paper. Also it reveals that preexistence methodology cannot simulate real phenomenon in transferring center.

  • Developing reliable measures of the environment is important to increase our understanding of the environmental effects on walking among seniors. As a preliminary study for developing an instrument for measuring walkability of seniors' environment, the purpose of this study are to identify important assessment indicators associated with seniors' walking and to test their reliability using inter-rater and intra-rater reliability methods. A set of assessment indicators was identified through literature review, and field studies by trained raters were conducted in three senior centers located in Seongnam area in order to test reliability of the audit tool. The results indicated high percent agreement for most indicators and overall 91.6% and 86.1% of items assessed had good or medium inter-rater and intra-rater reliability, respectively. The reliable assessment indicators would provide reliable data for use in community-based audits of built environment in relation to walking among older adults. The findings showed that the indicators of aesthetics had lower reliability compare to safety, convenience, and access. Rater training with various images would improve rater agreement while reduce rater bias.

  • The walkway level of service (LOS) is conceptualized using pedestrian flow rate, speed, and density according to the Korean Highway Capacity Manual (KHCM). However, as it is based on the data of commuters at peak hours, it needs to be reevaluated considering various trip purposes and a pleasant pedestrian environment. Thus, the authors aimed to investigate and analyze the characteristics of each group: pedestrians during the peak hour and those during the non-peak hour. Then they were verified statistically for the walkway evaluation criteria. In this study, the authors investigated pedestrian speed and flow in a complex transit center walkway with diverse trip purposes by peak and non-peak hour. Then the authors statistically verified the differences between the groups. A model was built for estimating pedestrian density by speed and flow; it was used to calculate the walkway capacity (67.3p/m/m) corresponding to LOS E. The authors established new criteria for LOS, applying the LOS from the HCM. These standards can then be used as the design standards for pedestrian walkways.
