Objectives: The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of drinking environment in the community and the relationship of alcohol outlets and alcohol related traffic crimes in the community, adapting a socio-environmental approach. Methods: A total of 229 regional units in Korea were included in the analysis. Indicators of drinking environment included on-premise alcohol outlets, monthly drinking rate, and risky drinking rate. Geographically weighted regression was conducted to analyze the influence of alcohol outlets, drinking rate, and risky drinking on alcohol related traffic crimes in the region. Results: Results showed that on-premise alcohol outlets were identified as a predicting factor for alcohol-related traffic crimes in the region. The number of on-premise alcohol outlets (general restaurants, bars) were associated with the increase in alcohol-related traffic crimes. The influence of general restaurants and bars was stronger in Jeollanam-do and Gyeongsangnam-do regions. Conclusion: Study findings showed that social environment that encourages drinking and alcohol availability leads to alcohol problems in the local community. Policy and practice implications based on these results are suggested.
