- Focusing on Korean Cases and its Practice -

1) What is SUTE?

2) What are components of SUTE?

1. Introduction of SUTE

Korea government implements the Sustainable Urban Transport Evaluation(SUTE)

annually since 2014 after 4-year pilot evaluation project by KOTI.

Evaluation is implemented at the base of central government law.

- Article 15 of ‘Promotional Law on the Sustainable Transport and Logistics System’

stipulates that central government should practice the evaluation on sustainability .

Sustainable Transportation System is important to meet citizens’ demand of the current

generation while not compromising those of future generations.

Evaluation

- Component : Status Evaluation + Policy Evaluation

- Method : Evaluation by Group (mandatory) and based on indicators

- Expectation: Central government obtains a clear assessment of status and policies of cities

Local governments diagnoses and improves their transportation condition and policies

Best Practice Contest

- Purpose: Identify and share best practices(BP) to help city governments to build efficient

transportation policies reflecting their conditions

- Method : No By-group Evaluation, Incentives for Winners (voluntary)

- Expectation: Discover, promote and spread successful and desirable practices

Encourage city governments’ efforts to build sustainable transportation systems

24 Indicators of Evaluation: 12 for Status evaluation + 12 for Policy evaluation

Each Evaluation is composed of 3 sectors: Environmental, Social, Economic

Status Evaluation is evaluating for status(and improvement) transport condition of cities

- Status Evaluation Ratio: 60% (Status of this year 36% + Improvement compared to last year 24%)

- Use reliable data such as KOSTAT(Korea Statistics)

Policy Evaluation is evaluating efforts of local governments regarding sustainable transport

- Policy Evaluation Ratio: 40%

- Use the documents that are submitted by local government

- Evaluation organization: Special Evaluation Committee(12 members)

- Policy Evaluation: 40%/Total

- Each Committee member assigned with each indicator gives scores

- Score: 100pt Scale with 5pt Interval(Average Score: 70)

- Evaluation organization: KOTI

- Data from KOSTAT, KTDB and etc.

- Status Evaluation : 60%/Total (Status 36% + Improvement 24%)

- Normalization of the score (Average Score: 70)

- Korea cases will be a good example for ‘Green and Sustainable Transportation System’

- A Need for Proactive Response to the global climate change

* Rio Summit(1992) → Kyoto Protocol(1997) →COP21(2015)

- SUTE facilitates and promotes evaluation on the transport systems of local government

- SUTE will upgrade Korea’s green transport industries
