Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to quantitatively identify the environmental contribution generated by urban rail users in the metropolitan area. Method: As for the analysis method, the mode choice and assignment of the traffic demand analysis were repeatedly performed on the assumption that each line was not opened for the metropolitan urban railway lines 1 to 9. After that, the environmental contribution according to changes in demand for the road was analyzed. Result: The total amount of carbon dioxide emissions and benefits were found to be the largest for subway line 1. However, when considering the number of stations and length, it was analyzed that the environmental contribution was the greatest in Metro Line 4. Conclusion: Measures to promote the use of public transportation are representative of environmental improvement policies, but there is a limit in that it is difficult for actual users/non-users to feel it. Therefore, it is judged that it is necessary to quantitatively present the effect in order to improve and spread awareness of the environment.

연구목적: 본 연구는 수도권 도시철도 이용자에 의해 발생하는 환경 기여도를 정량적으로 파악하는데 목적이 있다. 연구방법: 분석방법은 수도권 도시철도 1~9호선을 대상으로 각 노선이 미개통되었다는 전제하에 교통수요분석의 수단선택과 통행배정을 반복 수행한 후, 공로의 전환수요에 따른 각 노선별 환경기여도를 분석하였다. 연구결과: 이산화탄소 배출량의 총량적인 측면에서는 도시철도 1호선에서 환경기여도가 가장 큰 것으로 나타났으나, 역수 및 연장을 고려할 경우, 도시철도 4호선이 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 결론: 대중교통 이용 증진 방안은 대표적인 환경 개선 정책이나, 실제 이를 체감하기 어렵다는 한계가 있다. 따라서 환경에 대한 인식 개선 확산을 위해 그 효과를 정량적으로 제시할 필요가 있을 것으로 판단된다.
