EFFECTIVENESS EVALUATION OF HEALTHY COMMUNITIES BASED ON TRAFFIC BEHAVIOR

Abstract

 In the study, the effectiveness of policies is evaluated that encourage changes in traffic behavior in order to realize healthy communities. The healthy life is used as a major index showing the degree of health of the citizen. Healthy life means the period during which a person can live and work independently, healthy and mentally and physically. In the research, an estimation model of health level is proposed based on environmental factors of municipalities. Since the relationship between environmental factors and health level is considered to be complicated, NN (Neural Network) which is an intelligent information processing method is introduced. As a result, it was possible to construct a model with high estimation accuracy. As a change in traffic behavior, walking time and outing time are focused and analyzed the relation with healthy life. These results revealed the effectiveness of municipalities and gender health promotion policies.
