| Abstract |
Recently, parents’ driving children to school is increasing due to anxiety about the crime and traffic accident, which causes various social problems, such as children’s inactivity and obesity, constraint of economic activity of parents, and increase of transportation energy consumption. Against this backdrop, this study examined the relationship between neighborhood environment and Non-motorized and Unaccompanied Trip to School (NUTS) through Morphological Case Study and DSR (Driving force?State?Respond) Model. The result indicates that non-motorized trip is associated with directness of pedestrian routes derived from block size, connectivity of pedestrian network, and openness of school, and unaccompanied trip is related to traffic safety caused by traffic volume and speed, number of crossing, road width, and parking environment. In conclusion, it is expected that the findings of this study can be applied to a neighborhood planning based on elementary school, as well as a site selection and design for elementary school. |
