Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate utilization behaviors of smartphones while walking that are increasing recently and to examine the effects of smartphone usage patterns on human factors of pedestrian safety. In order to understand the motives and actual conditions of pedestrians' use of smart phones, a online questionnaire survey was conducted on people in their 20~30s who use smartphones. As a result, 98.6% of the respondents had experience using smartphones while walking. After performing the survey by extracting 17 uses the synchronization elements in the prior studies was extracted with two factors from the factor analysis. Particularly, respondents whose motivation to use smartphones was 'pandemic' were analyzed to have an influence on the risk of accident due to use of smartphones among human factors of pedestrian safety.

본 연구에서는 최근 증가하는 보행 중 스마트폰의 이용실태를 파악하고 스마트폰 이용행태가 보행안전도의 인적요인에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 살펴보았다. 보행자의 스마트폰 사용동기 및 실태를 파악하기 위해 스마트폰을 사용하는 20~30대를 대상으로 온라인 설문조사를 진행하였으며 그 결과 보행 중 스마트폰 사용경험은 98.6%로 대부분의 응답자가 보행 중 스마트폰 사용경험이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 선행연구에서 17개의 이용 동기 요소를 추출하여 설문을 실시한 후 요인분석을 통해 2개의 요인으로 추출하였다. 다중회귀분석 결과 F-value는 12.967, P-value는 0.000으로 유의미한 것으로 분석되어 스마트폰 이용행태는 보행안전도의 인적요인에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 특히 스마트폰 이용 동기가 유행성에 있는 응답자들은 보행안전도 인적요인 중 스마트폰사용으로 인한 사고위험에 영향을 미치는 것으로 분석되었다.
