Abstract

This study examines whether and how ages of child affect accessibility experiences of women and men differently. Space-time accessibility measures based on Time-geographic framework with activity-travel diary datasets in Portland Metro, US were calculated using GIS-based geocomputation, and spatial-temporal patterns of accessibility of dual-earner couples by ages of their youngest child were compared. The results are as follows. (1) Although more women than men work part-time, which would render women more spatial-temporal autonomy, accessibility levels of women are not higher than men's. It implies that there exists another constraint placed on women which largely stems from gender inequality. (2) It is distinctively women with child under age 6 of which accessibility spaces are found to be restricted doser to home compared to men. Women with no child or with child aged over 6, however, show more or less similar spatial-temporal patterns of accessibility with men's which are quite unvarying regardless of parental status and their child age. Women's accessibility experiences characterized by spatial-temporal entrapment, thus, can be seen as problems associated with gender rather than sex. (3) Intensified spatial-temporal entrapment of women with young child are associated with the significant spatial pegs shaping their accessibility spaces, which are located much closer to home compared to men's: workplaces and child's daycare centers.

본 연구에서는 자녀의 연령대에 따라 남녀간 그리고 여성 집단간에 차별화된 도시기회 접근성 경험이 어떻게 나타나는가를 살펴보았다. 미국 Portland Metro의 개인통행자료를 이용해 시간지리학적 분석틀에 기초한 GIS-기반 지오컴퓨테이션을 통해 시 공간적 접근성을 측정하고, 접근성의 시 공간적 특성을 중심으로 젠더화된 접근성 경험 양상을 분석하였다. 주요 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 여성이 남성에 비해 시간제근무 비율이 훨씬 높아 시 공간 재량권이 많을 것으로 예상되지만, 실제로는 남성보다 접근성 수준이 높지 않았다. 이는 여성에게 또 다른 제약조건이 존재한다는 것을 의미하며, 젠더 불평등에 기인하는 것으로 해석할 수 있다. 둘째, 여성의 전근성 공간이 남성에 비해 훨씬 집에서 가까운 거리에서 주로 형성되는 패턴은, 모든 여성집단에서 보편적으로 나타나는 것이 아니라, 집약적 육아부담을 갖는 영 유아기 자녀를 둔 여성에게서 관찰되었다. 남성은 자녀 유무나 연령대에 상관없이 일정한 패턴을 유지하여 여성과 대조를 이루었다. 자녀가 없거나 초등학생 이상의 자녀를 둔 여성은 남성과 유사한 접근성의 시 공간 패턴을 보여, 시 공간적 구속성(spatial-temporal entrapment)으로 특징지을 수 있는 여성의 접근성 경험은 성별 즉 남녀(sex)의 문제라기보다는 젠더(gender) 즉 사회적 성 역할(gender roles)과 연관된 문제임을 알 수 있다 셋째, 직장과 자녀의 탁아/교육시설은 집과 더불어 접근성 공간을 결정짓는 중요한 공간적 축인데, 영 유아기 자녀를 둔 여성은 남성에 비해 훨씬 집에서 가까운 직장을 다니며 또 그보다 더 집에서 가까운 탁아시설을 주요 축으로 접근성 공간이 형성됨으로써 시 공간적 구속성이 극대화되어 나타나게 된다는 것을 알 수 있다.
