Abstract

This study discusses how transportation to connect railway stations in Korea's small and medium-sized cities can be improved, based on analysis of a survey on the Joongang Line. The analysis considered current problems in connectivity between parts of the Korean transportation system and suggests how to encourage more passengers to shift from private cars to railways. It was found that railway users in small and medium-sized cities hope for better connection between different modes of public transportation, especially for urban buses. However, there is not enough connectivity currently available; therefore it is crucial to establish a system of such connections, mainly focusing on urban buses. Furthermore, in order to minimize transfer distances and connect various transfer modes, plans for improvements of facilities are needed and governmental support should be provided.

본 연구는 지역 간 철도인 중앙선 일부 철도역의 실태조사를 토대로 우리나라 지방 중소도시 철도역의 환승교통체계 정비방향을 논하였다. 현재의 환승체계에 무엇이 문제인지를 알아보고 이를 개선하여 보다 많은 통행자가 공로에서 철도로 수단전환을 하도록 하는데 일조하고자 하였다. 연구의 결과 지방 중소도시의 철도 이용자는 시내버스 등 대중교통 중심의 연계교통을 희망하고 있으나 현실은 그러하지 못하며, 따라서 앞으로 시내버스를 위주로 하는 연계교통체계 구축이 강조되었다. 또한 환승거리를 최소화하고 다양한 연계교통수단을 수용하기 위해 역 광장 등 시설정비 방안의 도출과 이를 시행하는 정부지원 필요성이 제기되었다.
