Basic Research Reports
Urban Transport Policy Paradigm Shift: - Focus on Health and Road Safety -
While the invention of automobile transportation was innovative with regard to the possibility of door-to-door mobility instead of mobility through railroads, it also brought about negative impacts such as damage to life and property due to traffic accidents and health impacts due to air pollution.
Metropolitan transportation centered upon automobiles resulted in issues such as slower traffic flow, an increased rate in traffic accidents, and particulate matter discharged by automobiles.
Multiple countries have changed their urban transport system to be focused on people instead of cars [Woonerf, Netherlands (the 1970s), Sustainable Development (the 1990s), Smart Growth, Transit Oriented Development, Compact City (the 2000s)].
Korea has experienced remarkable economic growth since the 1990s, and citizens are interested in their quality of life, including safety and health. However, urban transportation policy focuses on the rapid movement of cars.
