Korea’s Road Act lacks a legal basis for the use of such functions in a way that prioritizes people and urban activities over motor vehicles. This is because of the dearth of guidelines on the application of the Regulation on the Criteria for Road Structure and Facilities (Article 17). Despite the inextricable relationship between roads and urban regeneration projects in project zones, central government offices have not reflected this and instead have implemented urban regeneration projects through piecemeal efforts receiving budgetary support. This problematic situation demands a shift toward road policy that extends beyond the traffic function of roads to utilize their public space functions, developing person- oriented spaces for urban activity in accordance with special purpose areas and road functions. Regulations related to the Road Act should be amended to ease the implementation of urban regeneration projects and raise the synergy effects of land and transportation policy. Guidelines also needed for both urban regeneration and the use of such road functions are expected to contribute to boosting urban activities without discrimination and stimulating regional economies. Korea’s Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport (MOLIT) needs to form a cooperative system connecting departments tasked with roads, urban planning, and traffic while simultaneously providing budget to ensure a synergy effect on policy. Pilot projects for urban regeneration and using the public space functions of roads are also required. The MOLIT Road Policy Bureau must devise a budget support program for such functions in urban regions to allow them to raise city competitiveness and improve quality of life. 181210_국토연구원_레포트 42호_.indd 6 2019-01-09 오후 1:11:13 CHAPTER I.

    The Pennsylvania State University The Graduate School College of Health and Human Development RAIL-RO, AN EMERGING RAIL TRAVEL PHENOMENON: A STUDY OF DOMESTIC TOURISM, RAILROAD, AND CULTURE AMONG YOUTH IN KOREA A Dissertation in Recreation, Park, and Tourism Management by So Young Bae 2013 So Young Bae Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy December 2013 The dissertation of So Young Bae was reviewed and approved* by the following: Garry Chick Chair of Committee Professor of Recreation, Park, and Tourism Management Dissertation Advisor Deborah Kerstetter Graduate Program Chair Professor of Recreation, Park, and Tourism Management Alan Graefe Professor of Recreation, Park and Tourism Management Robert Schrauf Professor and Head of Applied Linguistics *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School iii ABSTRACT Rail-Ro (Railo1) is the name of a rail pass in Korea that allows passengers of 25 or under to enjoy an unlimited amount of travel for 7 consecutive days. While the original intention of Railo was to increase train use, it has become a popular travel culture phenomenon among youth since its inception in 2007. Passengers traveling with a Railo pass call themselves Rail-ers (Railers2) and identify themselves as a cultural group. It has not only increased the number of rail users, but also strongly influenced domestic tourism by adding an inflow of young travelers into local areas and changing their perception of domestic tourism. It is remarkable that a distinct youth culture has been created through Railo, considering the lack of healthy leisure opportunities for youth in Korea.
