ANALYSIS OF CONSCIOUSNESS ABOUT USING TRANSPORTATION IN REGION BEFORE OPENING NEW EXTENSION HIGH SPEED RAIL -FOCUSED ON FUKUI PREFECTURE COMPARING WITH VARIOUS REGION-

Abstract

Domestic local air routes are declining. In response to this decline, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism evaluated regional aviation routes as "a major role to play in regional revitalization and tourism-oriented nations, and is expected to maintain and revitalize them." "Study Group" is being held. The background to the de- cline of local air routes is competition with the developing Shinkansen network. There- fore, in this study, we conducted a questionnaire survey targeting Fukui Prefecture, which is the area before the opening of the Shinkansen extension. Therefore, using the SP survey, we analyzed the residents’ intention to use the aviation and Shinkansen. We also conducted a questionnaire survey in areas where competition with the Shinkansen occurred, and clarified the importance of transportation selection criteria for each area. In addition, the characteristics of Fukui Prefecture were considered by comparing the results with Fukui Prefecture, which is the main target area of this study, in other areas.
