Abstract

The purpose of the study is to come up with counter plans to the spatial change caused by an aging society. To achieve the purpose of this study, research methods are conducted in the literature survey and the census data are compared. This study focuses on an aging society, the current status of space and related problems, based on political economic spatial concepts, and then presents five countermeasures as follows. First, the planning considering the aging populations. Second, increase in total fertility rate and increase population absorption. Third, increased economic vitality of the elderly due to increased participation in the production of senior citizens. Forth, establishment and implementation of regional development plan for the elderly. Fifth, needs to transform the spatial policies of the aged to prepare a large gap in space. The result of this paper proposes the need to change the living space policies and planning to avoid mismatching between them, reducing the aging speed simultaneously. The study is expected to contribute to the establishment of a space plan for areas where the aging population is rapidly increasing.

본 연구의 목적은 고령화에 따른 공간변화의 대응방안을 제시하는 것이다. 본 연구의 목적을 달성하기 위해 연구의 방법은 문헌조사 방법을 활용하고, 분석에 있어서는 인구 통계자료를 비교 분석한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 정치경제학적 공간개념을 바탕으로 고령화와 공간의 현황 및 문제점을 파악하였고, 다음과 같은 5가지의 대응방안을 제시하였다. 첫째, 고령인구격차를 고려한 공간계획 수립, 둘째, 합계출산율 증가와 인구 흡입요인 강화, 셋째, 고령자의 생산활동 참여 증가로 공간의 경제 활력 증대, 넷째, 초고령 도시공간에 대한 지역개발계획 수립 및 시행, 다섯째, 고령화의 공간적 격차 심화에 대비한 공간정책의 전환이 필요하다. 결론적으로 고령화 속도를 늦추면서 동시에 관련 공간정책과 계획들이 미스매칭되지 않도록 공간정책과 계획의 전환이 필요함을 제시하였다. 본 연구는 고령화율이 급격히 증가하고 있는 지역에 대한 공간계획 수립에 기여할 것으로 기대된다.
