Abstract

In the last five years, Korea has supplied many more bicycle facilities than in the last several decades combined. However, have bicyclists increased in proportion to investment? If bicyclists are avoiding existing bicycle related facilities, including off-road bicycle facilities, it could be because suppliers did not consider bicyclists' preferences in their planning process. In this paper, the authors tried to understand the bicyclists' behavioral and route choice characteristics using stated preference surveys and a logit model, using commuting time in Daejeon Metropolitan City, Korea. The results show that nine factors affect the route choice behavior of bicyclists. In particular, bicyclists preferred sub-arterial roads to off-road, dedicated bicycle facilities in residential area. It means that bicyclists like a seamless bicycle route and that a buffer zone between car lanes and bicycle lanes or 50 km/h speed limits for cars are necessary for bicycle lanes that are not physical separated.

자전거시설의 공급에도 자전거이용자가 시설이용을 기피하거나 다른 루트를 이용하여 주행하는 이유는 시설이 자전거이용자의 선호를 충분히 고려하지 않았기 때문이다. 본 연구의 목적은 자전거이용활성화정책의 주요 대상이 되는 통근시간대 자전거이용자의 통행특성과 경로선택에 영향을 미치는 요소를 분석함으로써 자전거도로의 계획 및 설계에 필요한 시사점을 도출하는데 있다. 이를 위하여 SP조사기법을 이용하여 이용자의 선호를 조사하고, 링크레벨 및 경로레벨요소로 구성된 로짓 모형을 도출하였다. 결론적으로, 본 연구에서 검토된 9개 요소가 모두 자전거도로의 루트선택에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며, 특히, 보조간선도로, 분리형자전거차로를 선호하는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서, 차선만으로 설계할 경우에는 분리공간(buffer zone)을 설치하여야 하며, 자전거차로를 설치할 경우에는 자동차의 속도를 50km/시 이하로 제한할 필요가 있다.
