초록

이 연구의 목적은 노인들의 보행활동에 영향을 미치는 요인을 분석하는 것이다. 연구의 공간적 범위는 분당신도시 야탑3동이며, 이곳에 거주하는 노인 25명의 보행 GPS데이터를 수집하여 전문가평가, 인터뷰 및 동행조사, 관찰조사를 통해 노인들의 보행활동을 분석한 결과 노인들은 보행의존도가 높으며, 보행안전성과 연결성이 높고 감각적으로 편안한 거리, 공공공간을 더 많이 이용하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 노인들의 보행활동 특성을 실증적으로 분석하고 보행영향요인을 도출하여 고령친화적 근린환경 설계의 기반을 마련했다는 점에서 의의가 있다.

As the world approaches a super-aged society, urban-level responses towards the elderly are being actively carried out in the forms of an Age-Friendly City and a Healthy City. Through several preceding studies, the pedestrian-friendly neighborhood environment affected the health of residents was revealed. This study aims to analyze factors that influence the walking activities of elderly people. The spatial scope was set to Yatap-3-dong in Bundang-gu, Seongnam-si, and the subject was set to 25 elderly people living in that area. The elderly's gait activity data was collected using GPS, and the factors influencing gait activity were derived through expert evaluations, interviews, and observational surveys. The analysis results of 413 of the 600 trips or 68.8% of the elderly were derived from the GPS survey and the trip log survey showed that the elderly had high walking dependence. The average walking distance of the elderly per week was 9,419.0 m, and the average walking time was 248.1 minutes. The comparative analysis results of the space frequently used by the elderly and the control group from expert evaluation revealed that the elderly often used streets and public spaces with high pedestrian safety, connectivity, and was sensually comfortable. In the 28 routes or 6.78% of the walking trips taken by the elderly, not only were detours confirmed, but they walked an additional 285.1 m. An accompanying survey and interview results showed that the elderly considered their safety from vehicles, crime, social activity opportunities, slopes, stairs, and scenery when choosing walking routes. This study was significant in that it laid the foundation for the design of an age-friendly neighborhood environment by empirically analyzing the characteristics of elderly walking activities and deriving walking influence factors.
