최근 초소형 자동차의 디자인 경향 연구

The bigger the city where we live gets, the more problems the city confronts. The increase of the number of the cars invented for the quick movement has been causing severe traffic environmental pollution. As the number of the automobile increases, it takes much more time for us to get to our destination. Actually, the average speed of the automobiles in Seoul fell to almost half between in 1989 and 1997. Also we reached the time we discuss the energy, hour, and pollution consumed while the vehicle is in traffic jam. Although the number of automobiles is on the rise every day, the parking space is restricted. Therefore, people park even at a residental street or a back street. The increasing number of the automobiles cannot keep up with that of the underground parking lot or parking tower, so the problems concerned with parking is quite severe. The illegal parking is one of factors that bring about the traffic jam, so it causes a vicious circle. With the change of our life style, there are a lot more drivers than before, and the problem of wasting resources caused by the one who drives a car alone is being discussed. Therefore this research intends to find the necessity of the micromini cars as the alternatives to the problems mentioned before, analyze several design cases and suggest other alternatives.
