보행자 연령대별 보행만족도에 영향을 미치는 가로환경의 특성분석

초록

This study examines the impact of street environment on pedestrian walking satisfactionfor different age groups using the 2012 Pedestrian Satisfaction Survey Data(PSSD) in Seoul,Korea. This study confirms that multilevel ordered logistic model was an appropriate methodto control for both personal-level and location-level differences on walking satisfaction whichhas an ordered unit. The results indicate that street level physical environments haveconsistent or different impacts on pedestrian satisfaction by age groups. In particular,pedestrian specialization street has statistically significant and positive association withpedestrian satisfaction regardless of different age groups. In addition, it shows strongerimpact on walking satisfaction for the aged population. We also found that some physicalenvironmental variables including sidewalk width were important variables for walkingsatisfaction. However, street-level land use mix variable did not show any statisticalsignificance to the level of pedestrian satisfaction. This study concludes that pedestrian streetdesign strategies should consider specific determinants of pedestrian satisfaction for differentage groups.
