Abstract |
This study aims to analyze actual conditions and problems of subway station influence areas (SSIA) in Seoul, which were developed under the system of urban planning first and then transportation planning next. Especially, the study tries to understand how urban development characteristics influence the level of services and activities in public transportation. By utilizing Partial Least Square - Structural Equation Modeling, the results come as the followings. First, there are statistical associations between urban development characteristics and SSIA. Failing consideration of the balance between urban planning and transportation planning would suppress active usage of public transportation. Moreover, the high density commercial development is not associated with the better subway services. Second, generally, dense development and population attractive facilitates influence public transportation usage. Lastly, it depicts that mixed land use of SSIA is associated with the higher activities of subway usage. Especially, the balanced residential and non-residential planning makes better accesses to pedestrian and bicycle to public transportation and eventually, it would help activate public transportation usage. The results may contribute to develop more diverse and effective SSIA plans in Seoul |
