In this study, we provide empirical evidence of whether a spatial correlation among mode choices at the TAZ(Traffic Analysis Zone) level exists based on transit smart card data observed in Seoul, Korea. The results show that the areas with a higher probability that passengers choose to take a bus are clustered and that those regions have fewer metro stations than bus stations. We also found that the spatial correlation turned out to be statistically meaningful and provided an opportunity for the potential use of the spatial correlation in modeling mode choices. A reliable spatial interaction would constitute valuable information for transportation agencies in terms of their route planning and scheduling based on the transit smart card data.

Recent huge losses of both life and property have occurred by unexpected natural disasters. We studied snow damages, an important natural disaster issue because it happens more frequently in recent years. This study tries to select vulnerable areas of snowfall in advance and then establish climate change adaptation policy for minimizing unexpected snowfall damage. Busan, where is our study area, has hilly in downtown areas so that topography characteristics of the roads such as slope, elevation and aspect are vulnerable to snowfall. The sudden snowfall in Busan causes traffic jam and causes some schools in hilly to close some schools. At this moment, the adaptation policy has to be established for infrastructure (such as roads) in advance, because prediction of anomaly climate due to global warming is so difficult beside the damage of natural disaster is huge. Therefore, the purpose of this study is contribute to selecting and assessing vulnerable zones of snow damage focusing topography characteristics of the roads and then evaluating the degree of risk of vulnerable zones.

This study aims to identify spatio-temporal land price change pattern in Gongju city including the area incorporated and surrounding area depending on the Multifunctional Administrative City Construction. For this, GIS data was built by calculating the average land price each 209 Dong and Ri by the time of the year 2000, 2005 and 2010 based on. The first, the change in the land price was to identify in the 5-year intervals through a kriging interpolation as a kind of geostatistical techniques. The second, a trend analysis was conducted to know directional change pattern of the east-west axis and the north-south axis. Finally, the weighted mean center was calculated by the land price at a weight to examine moving direction on the center point of land price, point of view. The result is that the land price change pattern appeared visible higher growth on the eastern built in the Multifunctional Administrative City, moving direction on the center point of the land price appeared that the phenomenon was concentrated in the northeastern area.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to analyze the prevalence and consequences of verbal abuse in the operating room nurses by physicians and other nurses. Method: The data were collected from 761 operating nurses. The period of data collection was from September 7 to November 25, 2004. For this study the following tools were used: the verbal abuse scale, the emotional stress scale and the long-term negative effect scale. The data were analyzed by using SPSS Win 11.5. Result: 744 nurses reported experiencing some type of verbal abuse from a physician and other nurses. The emotional stress and long-term negative effect were significantly increased by verbal abuse. The nurses of less than one year increased emotional stress from verbal abuse. The physician was the most frequent source of emotional stress by verbal abuse, followed by other nurses. The long-term negative effect was significantly increased in the factors of emotional stress and the physician was the most frequent source than other nurses. Conclusion: Verbal abuse of nurses by physicians and other nurses continues to exist and is associated with negative consequences. Nurse administrators have to assess the present state for workplace verbal abuse and must endeavor in order to reduce verbal abuse.

In this study, we propose a methodology of center setting based on commuter traffic in the Seoul metropolitan area, and compared with the center setting method in previous studies. For this purpose, the center was derived by performing factor analysis and spatial autocorrelation analysis using the interregional commuting traffic for the administrative districts of the metropolitan area. In addition, we compared the results of applying each methodology of previous studies by classifying the methodologies into four categories: single index - based, multiple index - based, nonparametric, and spatial statistical method. As a result, some similar centers including major centers in Seoul were derived, but different results were obtained for each methodology and it was found that there were limitations in setting the multi sub-centers. Through this study, it can be reaffirmed that it is necessary to establish and supplement the spatial structure plan based on the new center system in the situation where the seoul metropolitan area of the polycentric spatial structure is now being discussed in the context of the urban realms.

Recently Korean government announced the vision for low-carbon green growth. Quantifying of the carbon storage, distribution, and change of urban trees is vital to understanding the role of vegetation in the urban environment. In the city planning the carbon storage estimation has become an important factor. In this paper, KOMPSAT-2 satellite imagery was used to develop a method to predict the urban forest carbon storage from the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) computed from a time sequence image data. The total carbon storage change by trees in the 6 administrative zonings of Jinju was estimated using the image data in 2007 and 2009. Therefore the paper presents a method based on the satellite images, which can estimate the spread of urban tree and carbon storage variation using KOMPSAT-2.

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the blind spot for public transportation by level of service(LOS) in public transportation supply service. For the purpose, we proposed indices of service coverage area, service frequency and hours of service and analysis method for them. Service coverage area analysis is to decide station location and network design for the maximum beneficiary area. Moreover, we can use the service frequency is for the maximum service frequency decision and hours of service is for the minimum operation hours. The results of this study are applied to the plan of minimum supply service, minimum service frequency and minimum operation hours for city and national public transportation plan.

Studying the operation of urban control plan and control program of urban plan facilities to present development direction of urban plan in the future by performing multi-variate analysis, the research acquired the following conclusion. It is required to institutionally activate the inhabitants' participation by reflecting spontaneous participation and opinion of inhabitants to adminstration so that the effect of business can be maximized in the stage of establishing urban control plan. Furthermore, the participation of role dividing type is necessary to adjust and connect the interest of expert that has experience in practical business of overall urban plan, inhabitant and self-governing body. It is required to reduce the service supplied by government so as to enhance policy of plan-first and development last for facilities with high importance and utility such as road, park and water supply/sewage, etc as well as to seek control program that expands the participation of private sector for administration for which private service is possible.

Community infrastructure contains national facilities that directly affect the quality of life of citizens. They need to be evenly supplied to every one of citizens. However, the services provided by infrastructure differ by region. In this paper, we propose a method to analyze the current status of the supply of community infrastructure consisting of accessibility and capacity. Accessibility can be evaluated by the time between residence blocks and facilities, which is an indicator of the convenience of citizens. Capacity is assessed by the area supplied for the local population, to assess whether facilities are being sufficiently supplied to the region. The method presented in this paper was applied on a case region to test the applicability. The analysis method of the supply status of community infrastructure in this study is considered to be used as a basic framework for regional supply plan of community infrastructure and urban planning.

To create dynamic and bustling urban environments, a diverse array of commercial facilities is indispensable. These facilities are recognised as pivotal in attracting and accommodating a larger floating population, thereby suggesting that a greater diversity of commercial establishments fosters heightened consumer expenditure. With this premise, our study endeavours to explore the influence of commercial facility diversity on the Consumer Centre Index. Focused on the temporal context of 2021 and the spatial context of Seoul, our analysis utilizes the Consumer Centre Index, derived from Kernel Density analysis, as the dependent variable. Independent variables encompass factors reflecting commercial attributes and urban characteristics. Employing spatial regression analysis at the administrative district level, we discern that the clustering of similar industries exerts a more pronounced positive effect on consumer activation compared to the clustering of disparate industries. Additionally, the findings underscore the importance of concentrating industries that bolster consumer activation. Anticipated outcomes of this study include insights beneficial for optimizing commercial facility location policies within the consumer market.
