Analyzing the Urban Characteristics for Regional Safety Index Classes - Focused on the Transportation sector

Abstract

In this study, an analysis on the properties of local governments was conducted using regional safety index classes in transportation sector. To analyze the characteristics of regional safety index classes, the ANOVA(analysis of variance) is performed using statistics data for five years(2010~2014) of Si, Gun and Gu. At first, the characteristics of Si, Gun and Gu are summarized to variety, simplicity and complexity. Secondly, the regions that are residental and heavily populated districts are relatively safe for traffic accident. Thirdly, in the case of Si and Gun, there are differences among safety index classes depending on the urbanization level and local capacity while in the case of Si it depends on transportation infra. Fourthly, the case of Gu is differ from Si and Gun that has various type of traffic accident. The leaders of local governments concern about safety by announcing regional safety index. Therefore, the research for application plan of regional safety index classes is required from various perspectives.
