This study analyzed the bicycle traffic patterns and identified the influence factors for each traffic purpose using the household traffic conditions survey for Seoul. The results are summarized as follows. First, as a result of surveying the bicycle traffic ratios according to the administrative dongs, there was a difference of 14.2% by region. Second, various personal characteristic variables, such as age, gender, income, occupation, and housing type, affect the bicycle mode choice, and bicycle passage increases when using facilities in residential areas. Third, among the neighborhood environments, the bicycle traffic for commuting purposes appeared to increase more in the areas of higher land use mix and lower crime rates. In addition, the bicycle road density and the inclination of the area commonly affect bicycle travel for commuting, shopping, exercising, and leisure.

예전에 한 아파트 건설현장에 평소에 잘 사용되지 않던 벽오동이 설계에 반영된 적이 있었다. 당시 '시행사명+지명'을 혼합하여 사용하던 아파트 명칭에서 친근함과 의미를 담아 'OO마을'로 명명하기 시작하던 즈음이었다. 오동나무는 봉황의 거처라는 좋은 의미를 가지고 있고, 또한 봉황은 60년만에 열리는 대나무 열매를 먹는다는 전설에 마침맞게 주거동 측벽에는 대나무가 설계되어 있어, 배식설계만으로 보자면 아파트단지에 '봉황'의 의미를 부여하기에 안성맞춤이라고 좋아하였다. 그러나 두세곳의 재배지 검수를 통해 설계도니 규격인 가슴높이지름 8cm의 벽오동을 대하였 때, 도저히 내 현장에 도입할 용기가 나지 않았다. 잎도 얼마 있지 않은 데다가 해당 규격의 벽오동은 마치 길쭉한 뭉둥이 같은 줄기에 맹아지처럼 생긴 가지들이 듬성듬성 달린 모습이었다. 그러한 이유로 결국 녹음이 잘 우거져 당장 심었을 때 효과가 좋은 다른 수종으로 설계변경을 결정할 수밖에 없었다.

The compact city usually provides good accessibility of residents with multiple transportation modes. However, in a compact city, annual average of travel distance per household by car is relatively short due to more congested traffic condition and larger travel cost than disperse city. As a result, total travel demand is decreasing when the region becomes more compact. Therefore compact development is regarded as one of the sustainable choices for future urban planning in many countries. This study aims at an empirical analysis of the relationship between urban compactness and travel demand based upon land-use and travel data for city of Seoul. In this study, 424 sub-districts with the mixed land-use patterns are assessed in a hexagonal diagram. The measurement is based on the relative deviation of each sector's characteristics including numbers of residence, manufacture, and trade & service. Multiple linear regression models are developed to analyze the effects of urban compactness on zonal trip generations. As a result, the trip generation rate in the residence-intensive and mixed-use areas is found to be relatively low. Furthermore, residents in high-compact areas tend to use public transport more often than residents in less compact areas.
