ABSTRACT

The purpose of the present study was to explore evidence needed to educate male and female drivers who remained vulnerable to the risk of car accidents in Korea. Given the importance of motor vehicle use, the present study aimed at describing and analyzing human factors related to the risk of traffic accidents among Korean drivers. Relevant gender sensitive studies were nearly non-existent in Korean context compared to the western exuberance. The statistical procedures of the present study using data from the Survey on the Public’s Attitude towards Traffic Regulations (2000) from Korean Institute of Criminology included descriptive analysis, Chi-square analysis and binary logistic regression analyses. Binary logistic regression models of the risk of traffic accident contrasted male drivers with female counterparts. Theoretical and practical implications of the findings were discussed exploring policy evidences and policy implications to reframe gender sensitive traffic accidents prevention programs.
