Nowaday, the local governments eager to change their transport system aiming for public transport oriented one. However, it is more important to change the land use system in the catchment areas of public transport in order to enhance its usage sustainably for the long run. This research aims to seek maximal spatial extent of the catchment areas of the Seoul Metropolitan Subway in consideration of its urban spatial structure in order to accommodate the potential users living around the subway stations. For this task the empirical data of the household travel survey for the Seoul Metropolitan Area conducted 2002 were analysed. It was founded that the walking access times to the subway stations, which can represent their spatial extents, are related to their travel times, but differently according to their given positions in the urban spatial structure. The characteristics of subway commuters also affect them with the conditions. It is to be expected that the results of this research can contribute to an enhancement of its usage by applying to land-use policies of the catchment areas.

City of Incheon opened rapid transit(urban railroad line 1) in 1999 in order to relieve traffic congestion on major arterials. This research analyzed urban space changes of each station influenced area by examining the changes of residents, industrial employees, and floor area ratios before and after the open of Incheon urban railroad line 1. Analysis of variance was applied to change of station influence area. This research found out that the types of central business and agricultural station influence area had been changed significantly after the open of urban railroad. However, the residential, semi-residential, and suburban type of station influence area had not been changed after the open of urban railroad. Thus, it is necessary to provide diverse facilities for inducing residents and employees to the station influence area of residential and semi-residential. Furthermore, the suburban type of station influence area which is difficult to develop naturally by the law of Green Belt is needed to develop station influence area simultaneously with the construction of a station building.

The current research aims at classifying the bus stops as transfer center in order to establish the rational bus transfer systems. Existing research typically identifies characteristics of demands for bus stops and land use surrounding the bus stops and classifies and profiles the bus stops. A common problem with this type of research is that the results with cross-sectional characteristics of land use and bus stop usage do not capture the details of trip chain, the fundamental characteristics of the trips with transfer. This paper therefore examines bus stop classifications with such variables as transport mode chains, intermediate stop chains and timing chains. The analysis on the data collected on Monday 20 April 2009 for passengers of Gyeong-gi bus results in a clear classification among bus stops in terms of such trip chain variables. The research would provide useful information for the decision support of transfer stops location choice and infrastructure design.

Among public transportation facilities within urban area, electric railway (subway) has been a regionally based facility that has played an important role in improving the foundation of territory development and arrangement of living foundation and living environment while supplementing the regional road network. In this regard, the subway stations should be allocated in the right place to ensure mobility, convenience and economic feasibility, some of transportation characteristics of road network combined with the subway. However, it would be very hard to evaluate quantitatively the effects of public transportation facilities such as subway in metropolitan cities on regional development and change in land use and to suggest the data that would be utilized in future city planning corresponding to their results. Therefore, this study evaluated the change in land use by the conditions of location of subway stations quantitatively; then, it evaluated and analyzed the change in land use for the internal and external parts of the surrounding areas of subway stations through the GIS spatial analysis and classification of landsat TM satellite image for utilizing it as reference material for the new establishment of subway stations in the future.

Public transportation ridership and walkability of urban district can be enhanced through high quality of TOD(Transit Oriented Development) elements. Generally, TOD have been evaluated several physical components such as the diversity of land use pattern, accessibility of public transportation and aspects of urban design around the station area. Especially, Spatial characteristics of TOD planning elements have many potential dependent when considering the characteristics of Rail Station-Influenced Area Development which is performing around subway station. Therefore, researchers should be considering the variation of spatial properties for planning elements according the set of spatial area and their socioeconomic factors. However, existing many cases related TOD does not consider about this point. In this paper, the changes of TOD characteristics were analyzed by different spatial units surrounding subway station in Busan Metropolitan City. Multiple Regression Analysis was performed for an investigation of effective spatial unit of TOD planning elements in this area using subway ridership data. In addition, the application validity of socioeconomic variables was examined through a comparative analysis of regression results with the multiple regression that implied only physical TOD elements. As the result, the variation of spatial properties for TOD planning elements according to the set of spatial unit was found. Furthermore, the specific spatial unit to applicable TOD elements in this area was derived. And the multiple regression model which added socioeconomic variables was derived more improved estimate results than the multiple regression model that implied only physical TOD elements.

지하철역별 수요는 개통 후 경과 연도에 따라서 S자 형태로 증가한다. 즉 개통 초기에는 잠재되어 있던 지하철 수요가 시간의 경과에 따라 계속적으로 증가하다가, 개통 후 10$\sim$13년 정도가 경과하면 최대를 나타낸 후 거의 정체하는 현상을 보인다. 그러나 지금까지 지하철 수요를 추정하기 위해서 이용되었던 4단계 모형은 이러한 지하철 수요의 증가 추세를 반영할 수 없기 때문에 실제 수요와 많은 차이를 보였다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 이러한 문제를 해결해 보고자 서울시 지하철 2$\sim$8호선의 실제 수요를 토대로 지하철역별 수요, 특히 순수한 승차인원을 추정하는 모형을 개발하였다. 모형에 적용되는 함수식은 실제 지하철역별 수요와 가장 유사한 형태를 보이고 있는 로지스틱 함수식을 이용하였다. 또한 각각의 지하철역별로 나타나는 상이한 특성은 카테고리로 분류하여 모형에 반영하였다. 카테고리는 토지이용도, 사회경제활동의 규모, 그리고 지하철역의 특성에 따라 분류하였다. 각 카테고리별 특성을 대표하는 독립 변수로 인구 종사자수, 학생수와 개통 후 경과 연도 등을 선정하였다. 그 결과 카테고리별로 추정된 지하철역별 수요는 통계적으로 매우 유의한 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 지하철역별로 승차하는 순수한 수요를 보다 정확하게 추정하기 위한 모형을 개발하는 것이 주된 목적이다. 반면에 본 모형을 이용하여 지하철역별 하차 수요 및 횐승 수요를 추정하는 것은 어렵다. 따라서 기존에 지하철 수요를 추정하는 데에 가장 많이 사용된 4단계 모형과 접목하여야 하며, 이에 대한 방안도 본 연구에서 제시하였다.

The aim of this study is to suggest a methodology for calculating the peak-hour ratio of passengers at urban railway stations by reflecting the characteristics of passenger demand patterns and the land use inventory of stations. To achieve this, urban railway stations in Seoul are divided into three groups by using factor analysis and cluster analysis. For each station group, we calculate five and four variables related to the passenger demand patterns and the land use inventory of stations, respectively, as well as the peak-hour ratios of passengers. Among these nine variables, average daily passengers and the location quotient (LQ) index for business services are selected as the classification criteria for station groups based on statistical tests. Using the two variables, a group allocation process is suggested to estimate the peak-hour ratio of passengers for a newly-constructed station. Evaluation results based on thirteen stations show that the proposed methodology produces lower errors than the currently-used guideline does. The results of this study contribute to establishing efficiently construction and operation plans for newly-constructed stations.

The aim of this study was to suggest characteristics and strategies of urban development focused on Transit Oriented Development (TOD). For this study, the relevant concepts of TOD were reviewed, and the types of urban development based on TOD was surveyed. As a case study, 7 TOD projects implemented in advanced countries were analyzed in the terms to change in urban spatial structure, urban balance development and connection of public transportation. The conclusions are as follows. First, the regal system and the support mechanism for success of the public-private partnership are essential for TOD. Second, the role of public sector leads planning, implementation and management should be emphasized in the development process, and mitigation of the development density and revision of a municipal ordinance for promoting TOD are necessary. Third, a public transportation plan and land-use plan in the downtown areas should be integrated, and the enlargement of the urban infrastructure through public assets by the local authority is essential.
