This study, by focusing on the concept of accessibility to the central city, analyses its importance for understanding baward regions and aims to investigate a new spatial strategy for developing backward regions in Korea. The study investigates the EU accessibility case study and formulates the methodological framework for the analysis, which is applied to the case of Jeonnam-do and Gyeongbuk-do in order to evaluate the backwardness of the regions in terms of the accessibility to the central city. Finally, this paper discusses a new spatial strategy for developing backward regions based on the concept of the accessibility to the central city, which includes the creative expansion of rural public services and promoting efficient delivery system, improving public and private service provision through the accessibility to the central city and securing long-term development potential through investing in regional human capital.

This paper proposes new algorithms of accessibility indices to analyze the connectivity of the Korean highway network. First of all, we find a transportation network that presents Korea's highway network in graphs in 2011 and 2017. And we analyze and compare the nation's highway network in 2011 and 2017 using concepts such as associated number, the relative distance, the accessibility, the degree of connectivity, the index of dispersion, the diameter of graph theory. To do this, an algorithm is presented which can easily obtain various accessibility indices from a given transportation network. Using the simulation results of this study, we can find city that is the center of traffic in the highway transportation network. In addition, cities that are included in the network but are relatively underdeveloped can be found and used as basic data for enhancing the connectivity of the nationwide traffic in the future. Moreover, the proposed algorithms of accessibility indices, which are modeled on highway transport networks, can help identify the accessibility space structure of each city and provide criteria for efficient and reasonable selection of alternatives in various regional planning processes, including transportation.

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the residential location preference factors by households' characteristics in the case of Daegu Gyeongbuk households. Under this research purpose, firstly, questionnaire survey of Daegu Gyeongbuk was done, and nextly, AHP(Analytic Hierachy Process) with questionnaire survey results was analyzed. The main results of this study are as follows. Firstly, residential location factors most preferred by Daegu Gyeongbuk households is capital gain, followed by living environment, accessibility of public transportation, accessibility of private car traffic and security. Therefore, we can see Daegu Gyeongbuk households prefer investment value and living amenity together as residential location factors. Secondly, according to the results of AHP by age, below 30th prefer accessibility factors, 40th prefer capital gain and school district factors, and above 50th prefer living environment, natural environment and security factors, relatively. Thirdly, according to the results of AHP by household income, low income households prefer living environment and accessibility factors, middle income households prefer capital gain and accessibility factors, and high income households prefer security, accessibility of private car traffic and view/sunlight factors, relatively.

웹 접근성(Web Accessibility) 평가를 위하여 웹 접근성 표준 가이드라인에 기반 한 120여개의 자동화 평가 도구들이 존재한다. 국외 평가도구는 WCAG 1.0과 미국 재활법 508조를 기준으로 만들어진 A-Prompt, Bobby 등이 있으며, 국내에는 KWCAG 1.0에 기반하여 한국정보문화진흥원에서 제작한 KADO-WAH가 유일한 자동화 웹접근성 평가도구이다. KADO-WAH는 국외 평가도구와 비교하여 상세한 검사를 진행하지 않으며 자동화 평가 범위가 한정되어 있어 상당부분 전문가 평가를 필요로 한다. 이를 보완하기 위하여 개선된 웹 접근성 평가도구의 개발이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 국내 자동화 평가도구인 KADO-WAH의 기능을 향상시키기 위하여 국외 자동화 평가도구와 비교 분석을 통해 KADO-WAH의 문제점을 제시하고, 이 문제점을 개선한 웹 접근성 평가도구를 구현한다.

The purpose of this paper is to empirically examine whether there are significant relations among rankings of cross-efficiency, web accessibility, and website evaluation. For this purpose, the study uses the KWAH-4 method developed by the Web Accessibility Laboratory in Korea, website evaluation method developed by the Business Development Bank of Canada (BDC), and the cross-efficiency model for 13 Asian container seaports including Korean, Chinese, and Japanese main ports in 3 years (2009, 2010, and 2013) using data for two cases: three inputs (depth, total area, and number of crane) and one output (TEU) in the first case and three inputs and two outputs (TEU and BDC overall score) in the second case. The main empirical results are as follows. First, the ranking orders of cross-efficiency, web accessibility, and website evaluation overall scores are not significantly correlated with each other. Second, if the BDC overall score is included in the output element, the correlation results are improved. However, the correlation coefficient is still low. The container port policy planners should introduce and consider the web accessibility and website evaluation scores when evaluating an efficiency-increasing plan for Korea's main container ports.

정부는 보건의료취약지역의 주민에게 보건의료를 효율적으로 제공케 함으로써 국민의 의료균형과 보건향상에 목적을 두어 보건진료원을 1981년부터 훈련 배치하였다. 본 연구는 사전 Pre-test, Post-test, Control Group Design에 의하여 이들 보건진료원이 배치되기 이전에 baseline data를 수집 분석하여 3년 후(1984년)에 보건 진료원의 활동성과를 종합적으로 평가하기 위해 실시된 것이다. 본 연구에서 농어촌 벽지에 보건진료원이 배치됨으로써 보건진료원 투입 전 후, 투입지역과 비투입지역(대조지역, control area)간 비교분석에 의하여 보건진료원이 보건의료서비스 접근성의 변화에 준 순효과가 종합적으로 평가될 수 있다. 그러나 본 보고서는 1981년에 농어촌 벽지 4,083 가구의 표본에서 수집된 자료를 이용하여 벽지의 보건의료서비스 접근성의 현상분석에 치중하고 있다. 보건의료서비스는 의료 서비스와 예방서비스로 구분되었고 예방서비스는 모성보건, 영유아보건, 가족계획으로 세 분류 되었다. 보건의료서비스와 접근성은 Aday와 Andersen의 모형에 의하여 4개 component로 나누어 분석되었고, 각 component의 특성은 지표(indicator)에 의하여 설명되고 있다.

Accessibility is the generalized definition on how ease of access. Accessibility is used to appraise transportation project such as capturing the quality of the existing state of the transportation system at diverse spatial levels, It also reflects on the effect of improvements to the existing travel modes and the intoduction of new modes. The overall goal of this study is to propose a measure of urban accessibility in Seoul which can analyze various behavior of travelers in the city and to present applications. In this study, we apply measures of accessibility which are developed by CTR(The Center for Transportation Research, the University of Texas at Austin) to construct the urban accessibility index applicable for explaining trip behavior in Seoul. We evaluate sustainability of urban transport system in Seoul in 2002 by using the MAG(Modal Accessibility GaP) index which is developed to measure the accessibility gap between the more energy-efficient mode and less energy-efficient mode of transport. By analyzing the change of MAG index between 2002 and 2004 based on network data, we show how the public transportation system reform affect the sustainability in transport system.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the choice behavior of the mode of transportation for travel from Korea to China. Discrete choice analysis is utilized to establish the factors that affect travelers' choice and to quantify the importance of these factors in transportation mode choices. The proposed choice models were constructed by using stated-preference (SP) data obtained from Chungcheongnam-do. This study also examined different choice behavior in order to capture any previously unobserved differences in the residence area. Results showed that the access time and frequency attributes are the most significant factors, while the travel time attributes are the least significant factors for travelers' choice behaviour. The insights of the results described in this research provide some practical suggestions to transportation providers for planning and strategic management endeavors in the future.
