This study analyzes what has changed in the road safety management systems (RSMS) of local governments after evaluating the related indicators continuously from 2015 to 2019. It has evaluated 24 indicators in four areas of RSMS such as institutional management, intervention, intermediate outcome, and the final outcome, according to Han and Lee (2020). It seems that continuous evaluation of indicators of RSMSs in local governments for five years has helped to improve road safety performance in local governments. The result shows that the average overall scores have increased from 77.92 to 83.89, a 7.7% increase. This improvement should have resulted from the competition between local governments, which do not want to be at the bottom in the score comparison. The most remarkable increase has been identified in the areas of institutional management and intervention. They have increased by 13.3% and 16.0%, respectively. In terms of types of local governments, it has been found that the increase in overall scores is higher in provinces which include most rural areas than in metropolitans. However, it has been found that the improvement of institutional management and interventions are not directly associated with the increase of the intermediate and final outcomes, at least during the five years. Further studies examining the relationship between the four areas of RSMS are needed.
本研究通过连续四年(2015-2019 年)评估相关指标,分析地方政府道路安全管理系统(RSMS)在这期间发生的变化。该研究依据 Han 和 Lee(2020)的研究成果,从制度管理、干预、中间结果和最终结果四个方面对 RSMS 的 24 个指标进行了评估。连续五年对地方政府 RSMS 指标进行评估,似乎有助于提高地方政府的道路安全绩效。结果显示,地方政府的 RSMS 综合得分从 77.92 分提高到 83.89 分,增长了 7.7%。这种改善可能源于地方政府之间的竞争,它们不愿意在得分比较中垫底。制度管理和干预两个领域的得分增长最为显著,分别提高了 13.3%和 16.0%。就地方政府类型而言,在包含大部分农村地区的省份,整体得分的增长高于大都市。然而,研究发现,制度管理和干预的改善与中间和最终结果的增加并没有直接关联,至少在这五年内是如此。需要进一步研究 RSMS 的四个领域之间的关系。
