Abstract

This study is a descriptive and exploratory one aiming to develop a systematic/diagnostic manual that is necessary for the improvement of the pedestrian safety of a neighborhood and show the practical application and usefulness of the manual through a case study. The diagnostic manual developed on the basis of the previous research review adopted a mixed research method including three investigation tools of map/data analysis using secondary data, field observation by investigators, and resident survey interview. In the case study applying the manual to Changsin-dong, Seoul, the author analyzed the results of the three investigations in integrative ways and showed the usefulness of the manual by systematically deriving the places prone to pedestrian-vehicle accidents and the influencing factors. This study contributes to the practical field in that it provides planners with a systematic tool to diagnose the pedestrian safety in the neighborhood environment while it contributes to the academic field in that it provides the concrete process that empirically compares the differences between different environmental investigative methods and deduce integrative implication from them. In a follow-up study, the author plan to apply the diagnostic manual presented in this study to more cases and improve them to work in various contexts.

이 연구는 근린 보행안전 개선에 필요한 체계적 진단 매뉴얼을 개발하고, 사례연구를 통하여 매뉴얼의 구체적 적용과정과 유용성을 보여주는 것을 주목적으로 기술적 탐색적 연구이다. 선행연구 검토를 통해 개발한 진단 매뉴얼은 간접자료를 활용하는 도면/데이터 분석, 조사원에 의한 현장관찰, 그리고 주민을 대상으로 하는 이용자 설문인터뷰의 세가지 조사방법을 포함하는 혼합연구방법을 채택하고 있다. 저자는 서울 창신동 대상으로 진단 매뉴얼을 적용한 사례연구에서 세 가지 조사방법에 따른 연구결과들을 통합적으로 분석하여 대상지 내 위험지역과 위험요인들을 체계적으로 도출하는 과정을 구체적으로 기술함으로써 진단 매뉴얼의 유용성을 보여주었다. 이 연구는 실무적으로는 계획가들에게 근린 보행안전성 진단을 위한 체계적 수단을 제공했다는 점에서, 학술적으로는 여러 조사방법 간의 차이를 비교하고 통합적인 결론을 도출하는 삼각검증 프로세스를 실증적으로 보여줬다는 점에서 의의를 갖는다. 후속연구에서는 진단 매뉴얼을 더 많은 사례들에 적용하여 봄으로써 다양한 맥락에서 보다 정교하게 작동할 수 있도록 개선할 계획이다.
