철도역의 특성이 이용객 수에 미치는 영향 분석

Abstract

Railroad stations and train users are related to each other by providing and using station service and convenience functions. Therefore, this study investigated the relationship between railway station characteristics and the number of passengers. The subject of this study is 163 railway stations in the metropolitan area operated by Korea Railroad Corporation. The research model is a multiple regression model. The railway station characteristics are the independent variable, the number of passengers is the dependent variable, and 15 hypotheses were established and empirically analyzed. The results of this study showed that the characteristics of railway stations and the number of passengers were statistically significant. In detail, among the characteristics of railway stations, land use (industrial/residential/green land), land price (individually announced land price), total floor area, construction year (elapsed years), and complex station (neighborhood living facilities/complex station) were statistically significant and was a positive (+) influence. In other words, the relationship between railway stations and passengers was confirmed. In the future, railway institutions need a strategic plan to increase the number of passengers in the development and operation of railway stations in order to improve the railway management environment.
