Abstract
Purpose: The recent increased use of Personal Mobility (PM) has been accompanied by a rise in the annual number of accidents. Accordingly, the safety requirements for PM use are being strengthened, but the laws/systems, infrastructure, and management systems remain insufficient for fostering a safe environment. Therefore, this study comprehensively searches the main problems and improvement methods through a review of previous studies that are related to PM. Then the priorities according to the importance of the improvement methods are presented through the Delphi survey. Method: The research method is mainly composed of a literature study and an expert survey (Delphi survey). Prior research and improvement cases (local governments, government departments, companies, etc.) are reviewed to derive problems and improvements, and a problem/improvement classification table is created based on keywords. Based on the classification contents, an expert survey is conducted to derive a priority improvement plan. Result: The PM-related problems were in 'non-compliance with traffic laws, lack of knowledge, inexperienced operation, and lack of safety awareness' in relation to human factors, and 'device characteristics, road-drivable space, road facilities, parking facilities' in relation to physical factors. 'Management/supervision, product management, user management, education/training' as administrative factors and legal factors are divided into 'absence/sufficiency of law, confusion/duplication, reduced effectiveness'. Improvement tasks related to this include 'PM education/public relations, parking/return, road improvement, PM registration/management, insurance, safety standards, traffic standards, PM device safety, PM supplementary facilities, enforcement/management, dedicated organization, service providers, management system, and related laws/institutional improvement', and 42 detailed tasks are derived for these 14 core tasks. The results for the importance evaluation of detailed tasks show that the tasks with a high overall average for the evaluation items of cost, time, effect, urgency, and feasibility were 'strengthening crackdown/instruction activities, education publicity/campaign, truancy PM management, and clarification of traffic rules'. Conclusion: The PM market is experiencing gradual growth based on shared services and a safe environment for PM use must be ensured along with industrial revitalization. In this respect, this study seeks out the major problems and improvement plans related to PM from a comprehensive point of view and prioritizes the necessary improvement measures. Therefore, it can serve as a basis of data for future policy establishment. In the future, in-depth data supplementation will be required for each key improvement area for practical policy application.

연구목적: 최근 개인형 이동장치(PM : Personal Mobility) 이용이 지속적으로 증가하면서 사고 또한 매년 폭발적으로 급증하고 있다. 이에 따라 PM 이용에 대한 안전 요구가 강화되고 있으나 여전히 안전한 환경을 위한 법/제도, 인프라, 관리체계 등은 부족한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 PM 관련 선행연구 검토를 토대로 주요 문제점과 개선방안을 종합적으로 모색하고, 델파이조사를 통해 개선방안의 중요성에 따른 우선순위를 제시한다. 연구방법: 연구방법은 크게 문헌연구와 전문가 설문조사(델파이조사)로 구성된다. 기존의 선행연구와 개선사례(지방자치단체, 정부부처, 업체 등)를 검토하여 문제점, 개선사항을 도출하고 키워드를 기반으로 문제점/개선사항 분류표를 작성한다. 분류 내용을 토대로 전문가 설문조사를 실시하여 우선순위 개선방안을 도출한다. 연구결과: PM 관련 문제점은 인적요인과 관련하여 ‘교통법규 미준수, 지식 부족, 조작 미숙, 안전의식 부재’가, 물리적요인과 관련하여 ‘기기 특성, 도로-주행 가능 공간, 도로시설물, 주차시설’이, 관리적요인으로 ‘관리/감독, 제품관리, 이용자관리, 교육/훈련’이, 그 외 이 모든 요인들과 관련한 법률적요인을 ‘법률 부재/미흡, 혼선/중복, 실효성 저하’ 측면으로 나눠볼 수 있었다. 이와 관련한 개선과제로 ‘PM 교육·홍보, 주차·반납, 도로개선, PM 등록·관리, 보험, 안전기준, 통행기준, PM 기기안전, PM 부대시설, 단속/관리, 전담조직, 서비스제공업체, 관리체계, 이와 관련한 법/제도 개선’의 14개 핵심 부문에 대해 42개 세부 과제를 도출하였다. 세부 과제에 대한 중요도 평가결과 비용, 시간, 효과, 시급성, 실현가능성 평가항목에 대해 평균이 종합적으로 높은 과제는 ‘단속/계도활동 강화, 교육홍보/캠페인, 무단방치 PM관리, 통행규정 명확화’로 나타났다. 결론: PM 시장은 공유 서비스를 기반으로 점차 시장 규모가 커지고 있으며, 산업 활성화와 더불어 PM 이용의 안전환경이 보장되어야 한다. 이러한 측면에서 본 연구는 PM 관련 주요 문제점, 개선방안을 종합적인 관점에서 모색하고 우선적으로 필요한 개선대책의 순위를 알아본데 있어 그 의미가 있으며 향후 정책수립 자료의 기초가 될 수 있다는 점에서 그 가치가 있다. 향후에는 실질적인 정책 적용을 위해 개선 핵심 분야별로 심층적인 자료 보완이 필요할 것이다.
