Abstract

This study analyzed the influence of the perception of physical environment on user satisfaction and park use when people use the park to improve their health. The study is focused on neighborhood parks in Suseong-gu, Daegu city. Statistical analyses were employed to data collected from 143 visitors on site. First of all, in the perception evaluation of the physical environment of the park, accessibility and pedestrian environment are the highest at 4.04, while water space and attractions in the park as the lowest parts are at 2.32 and 2.66. After conduct factor analysis to type 22 physical environmental awareness components, five main factors--Comfort, Availability, Amenity, Facilities convenience and Visuality--were classified. Then, satisfaction and influence on park use were analyzed. As a result, the factors affecting user satisfaction were comfort, availability, amenity and facility convenience. Among them, the category of amenity was the most influential factor at 0.315. The factors affecting the park use were availability and amenity. Availability factor had a higher influence at 0.396 than amenity at 0.293. Therefore, in order to improve satisfaction and park use for health improvement, it is necessary to secure sufficient green areas and create a pleasant environment. Also, it is necessary to improve the quality of walkability from homes to parks, trail improvement and other improvements.

본 연구는 건강증진 목적으로 공원을 이용할 경우, 물리적 환경에 관한 인식이 이용자의 만족도 및 공원이용에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 연구대상지는 대구광역시 수성구의 근린생활권 근린공원으로 설정하였으며, 총 143부의 설문지를 분석에 활용하였다. 먼저 공원의 물리적 환경에 대한 인식평가에서는 거주지로부터 공원까지의 접근 및 보행환경에 관한 항목들이 4.04로 높게 평가된 반면, 수공간과 공원 내 볼거리에 관한 항목들은 각각 2.32, 2.66으로 낮게 평가되었다. 다음으로 22개의 물리적 환경 인식요소들을 대표 요인으로 유형화하기 위해 요인분석을 실시한 결과, 안락성, 이용성, 쾌적성, 시설편의성, 시각성 등 5개 요인으로 유형화되었다. 이를 토대로 만족도 및 공원이용에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 공원이용 만족도에 영향을 미치는 요인은 안락성, 이용성, 쾌적성, 시설편의성으로 나타났으며, 이 중 쾌적성이 0.315로 가장 큰 영향을 주는 것으로 분석되었다. 공원이용에 영향을 미치는 요인은 이용성과 쾌적성으로 분석되었으며, 이용성이 0.396으로 쾌적성 0.293보다 더 높은 영향성을 가지는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 건강증진 장소로서 공원이용 만족도를 높이기 위해서는 충분한 녹지면적 확보, 수목 및 시설 관리를 통한 쾌적한 환경 조성이 필요할 것으로 판단된다. 또한, 공원이용을 활성화시키기 위해서는 거주지에서 공원까지의 보행환경 정비, 산책로 개선 등의 노력이 필요할 것으로 판단된다.
