| Abstract |
Applying the 2016 Chungbuk Household Travel Survey data, this study aims at analyzing the spatial hierarchy of the zone of life reflecting upon travel characteristics of the elderly population. In specific, dichotomizing the elderly population into the early elders (60~69 and 70~74) and the later elders (75 or more), this study examines the spatial hierarchy of the zone of life matched with their travel types and locations, in addition to travel modes. Its main analytical tools are community detection approaches. Key findings are as follows: First of all, the mainstream of the travel types among the elderly population (65 or more) comes from commuting purposes. The highest travel volume is recorded in the mid-zone of life. Furthermore, as spatial hierarchy rises to a higher level, the number of the zone of life is downsized. Secondly, regardless of the boundaries of the administrative area, the elderly aged 65 to 69 will form the same living area in Chungju (Suanbo-myeon) and Jecheon (Hansui-myeon). Similar trends are repeated in the early elder groups in Cheongju (Bukil-myeon) and Jeungpyeong-eup (Jeonpyeong-eup). The later elders in Jincheon-gun (Gwanghaewon-myeon) and Eumseong-gun (Daeso-myeon) also share the same living area. These results imply that travel characteristics of the elderly population should be actively reflected in designing elderly-friendly spatial planning. |
