ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study is to derive vulnerable areas for elderly pedestrians and evaluate the pedestrian environments in terms of safety in Daegu. In order to derive vulnerable areas, density-based clustering and hotspot analyses are performed, and the pedestrian environments is evaluated for the derived areas. The evaluation items are classified into street environment and walking network environment, for a total selection of 22 detailed items. The results of deriving vulnerable areas for elderly pedestrians are Cluster 3 (around Daegu Station and Chilseong Market Station) and Cluster 4 (around Daegu-Gonggo Intersection). In addition, the vulnerable areas are evaluated at a low level for the level of illegal parking, existence and adequacy of resting spaces and information signs, and adequacy and condition of pedestrian safety facilities. Also, there is a need to improve the items of the crossing facility and openness of lower floors. Through this, it is expected that the research can be used as basic data for creating a safe pedestrian environment for the elderly in the future.
