사회교통지리학의 발전과정 및 전망 = Social Transportation Ceography ; Progress and Perspectives

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Two major research fields can be identified in the progress of transportation geography since the 1960s. In the 1960s transportation geography was the leading research field in the quantitative movement in geography. But in the 1970s there was strong criticism of the quantitative approach to transportation geography. The center of the criticism appeared to be that transportation geography had become dehumanized in its academic and applied form, and it had become a tool used by the planners to preserve a system which was basically inhuman and unjust. This paper examines the progress of social transportation geography since 1970s, and proposes several research agenda for the field. The relationship between socio-political structure and transportation systems, social meaning of travel behavior, mobility and accessibility differences between social classes, and urban community devastation due to through traffic are proposed as major prospective research agenda in social transportation geography.
