Abstract

This study aims to analyze safety indicators for various types of pedestrian accidents (traffic accidents, crimes, crowd crush incidents, and falls) in urban community roads. The need for this research arises from the complexity and narrowness of these streets, which significantly threaten pedestrian safety. The study employed literature reviews, case studies, and field surveys to identify risk factors for pedestrian accidents. These risk factors were then systematically evaluated using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to determine the relative importance of each safety indicator. The analysis revealed that for traffic accidents, factors such as the separation of pedestrian and vehicle paths and the effective sidewalk width are critical. For crime-related incidents, lighting and CCTV coverage were found to be the most important. In crowd crush incidents, pedestrian traffic volume and effective sidewalk width were identified as key indicators, while slope and effective sidewalk width were crucial for preventing falls. These findings contribute to the development of targeted safety improvement measures for urban community roads.

이 연구는 생활도로에서 발생하는 다양한 유형의 보행자 사고(교통사고, 범죄, 군중 압사 사고, 낙상)에 대한 안전 지표를 분석하는 것을 목표로 한다. 이 연구의 필요성은 이러한 도로의 복잡성과 협소함이 보행자 안전에 큰 위협이 된다는 점에서 비롯된다. 연구에서는 문헌조사, 사례조사, 현장조사를 통해 보행자 사고의 위험요인을 도출하였으며, 이러한 위험요인들을 계층적 분석법(AHP)을 사용하여 각 안전 지표의 상대적 중요도를 체계적으로 평가하였다. 분석 결과, 교통사고의 경우 보행자와 차량의 경로 분리 및 유효 보도 폭이 중요한 요인으로 나타났다. 범죄 관련 사고에서는 조명과 CCTV 설치가 가장 중요한 요인으로 분석되었다. 군중 압사 사고에서는 보행자 통행량과 유효 보도 폭이 주요 요인으로 확인되었으며, 낙상 사고를 예방하기 위해서는 경사도와 유효 보도 폭이 중요한 요인으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 생활도로의 안전성 개선을 위한 구체적인 대책 마련에 기여할 수 있을 것이다.
