Abstract

Recently many local governments have carried out dong merger and abolition process to cope with rapidly changing administrative demand and environment. This administrative effort impacts substantially the locational characteristics of the existing dong offices which directly involve in the quality of local community life. In this paper, we attempt to analyze the location pattern of current dong community service centers (formerly, 'dong office') and suggest the optimal locations maximizing spatial accessibility. As an application, we examine the location pattern of the existing dong community service centers in Mapo-gu, Seoul. Moreover, we compare current spatial configurations with the optimally selected locations such as, a Median maximizing spatial efficiency, a Center maximizing spatial equity, and a Centdian exploring compromising solutions regarding the tradeoff between efficiency and equity. The analytical results present that each of dong community service centers was systematically evaluated in terms of spatial efficiency and equity and in general the community service center locations are not spatially optimized with respect to efficiency and equity, compared with the optimal locations.

최근 많은 지자체들이 빠르게 변화하는 행정수요와 환경에 대해 효과적으로 대처하기 위한 일환으로 동통폐합 사업을 적극적으로 추진하고 있다. 이러한 행정적 노력은 지역 주민생활의 질에 직접적으로 관여하는 동사무소의 입지 특성에도 크게 영향을 미치고 있다. 본 연구에서는 행정 변화에 따른 동주민센터(구'동사무소')의 입지 변화를 체계적으로 분석하고, 공간적 접근성을 최적화하는 입지 대안을 제시한다. 이를 위한 사례 분석으로 서울시 마포구를 대상으로 현 동주민센터의 입지 패턴을 분석하고, 공간적 효율성이 최적화된 메디언(median), 공간적 형평성이 최적화된 센터(center), 효율성과 형평성 사이의 상충관계를 고려한 절충적인 대안을 제시하는 센디언(centdian)을 도출함으로써 기존의 입지 패턴을 보다 체계적으로 비교분석한다. 분석 결과는 각 동주민센터의 입지 특성을 공간적 효율성 및 형평성에 따라 체계적으로 평가하고 있으며, 선정된 최적 입지 대안들과 비교해서 현 주민센터의 입지가 전반적으로 효율성 및 형평성 측면에서 공간적으로 최적화되어 있지 않음을 보여주고 있다.
