Abstract

The purpose of this research is to identify the factors affecting the intention to adopt a transcontinental railway in Korea. We develop an empirically testable model that demonstrates the effects of factors including cost, service, and efficiency of railway transportation, on modal shift intention to railway, attitude of a Railway, and intention to adopt a Transcontinental Railway (KTAR) as a railway transportation mode in the end. A survey method enables us to analyze the model with a structural equation modeling. The empirical analysis reveals that two most influential factors-the modal shift to railway transportation and the attitude of a Railway-play roles in determining intention to adopt the Transcontinental Railway (KTAR). Of the factors of transportation mode, transportation cost has a greater impact than transportation service and transportation efficiency on the intention to adopt a Transcontinental Railway (KTAR).

본 연구는 한국과 아시아 및 유럽간 국제 무역이 확대되어 감에 따라 국제 운송에 있어서 새로운 운송대안이 모색되어져야 할 것으로 보고 그 대안을 철도에서 찾고자 하였다. 특히 대륙횡단철도(KTAR)는 한국을 기 종점으로 유럽까지 잇는 세계 최장의 철도 노선으로서 그 실현가능성이 높아지고 있다. 본 연구는 이러한 변화와 가능성에 앞서 대응하고자 대륙횡단철도의 선택 의도에 대한 실증적 연구를 수행하였다 연구를 위해 운송수단 선택 요인으로 6개의 잠재변수(운송 서비스, 운송 비용, 운송 효율성, 철도에 대한 태도, 철도로의 운송수단 전환 의도, 대륙횡단철도 선택 의도)를 도출하여 이들 변수 간의 관계를 구조 방정식 모델링을 통하여 실증적으로 분석하였다. 구조 모형의 분석 결과 대륙횡단철도 선택 의도에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 요인은 철도로의 운송수단 전환 의도와 철도에 대한 태도로 나타났으며, 그리고 이들 요인에 강력한 영향을 미치는 선택 요인으로는 운송 비용 요인임을 확인할 수 있었다.
