Time activity pattern assessment focused on transportation on subpopulation groups
̺ء̼롤ٿ̡šȣ*
Abstracts
This study was a time activity pattern assessment focused on transportation in subpopulation groups using the
Time-Use Survey conducted by the National Statistical Office in Korea in 2009. The time activity patterns of
transportation on weekdays were analyzed, looking at average travel time in Seoul, Gyeonggido and the whole
country. Various subpopulation groups were classified such as students, the elderly, workers and housewives. The
population of Gyeonggido had a higher average transportation time than that of Seoul. Workers showed the highest
weekly average travel, while the students group showed the lowest tendency. The times spent in walking, bus,
subway and taxi were the highest in areas other than Gyeonggido, where the use of private vehicles such as car
was higher. Therefore, exposure to hazardous air pollutants may vary depending on the transportation method and
time spent. This results indicate that time activity pattern assessment on transportation may be an important element
of exposure assessment.
