Abstract

The increasing use of various types of data to capture travel behavior relatively discredits the utility of traditional national-scale household travel surveys. However, the surveys are still arguably meaningful in their clarification of purposes and means of travel. Accordingly, this study reviews travel survey cases and related literature, to identify the status of the Korean National Household Travel Survey (KNHTS). It discusses improving the KNHTS's survey method, focusing on its long investigation cycle, short survey period, reduction in sample size, and questionnaire format biased toward mandatory travel. To address these issues, this study suggests reducing the survey cycle, conducting a year-round survey, combining weekday and weekend surveys, and specifying items on nonmandatory travel. These practical suggestions duly consider the validity and reliability of the KNHTS within budget constraints and its applicability to related fields, such as tourism, public health, and sociology.

통행을 포착할 수 있는 자료가 양적으로 방대해지며 가구통행실태조사와 같은 전통적 교통조사에 대한 무용론이 제기되고 있다. 그러나 통행의 목적과 수단을 파악할 수 있는 등 가구통행실태조사는 그 중요성이 여전하다. 이에 본 연구는 국내외 교통조사 사례 및 관련 문헌을 검토하여 가구통행실태조사의 현황을 파악하고 개선방안을 논의한다. 본 연구는 가구통행실태조사가 직면한 한계점 중 긴 조사주기, 짧은 조사기간, 유효표출률의 감소, 의무통행 중심의 문항 구성에 대해 다룬다. 이에 대한 개선방안으로 조사주기 단축, 연중조사 시행, 주중조사와 주말조사의 병행 시행, 주말통행 관련 항목 세분화 등을 제안한다. 본 연구는 교통분야 외에 관광, 보건, 사회 등의 분야에서도 응용할 수 있도록 확장성을 감안하며, 제약된 예산 하에서 현실적인 개선방안을 고려한다는 데에 의의가 있다.
