Abstract

Recently, urban parks are required to actively participate with residents in order to strengthen social functions and maintain sustainable management. This study analyzed the formation process of volunteer resident groups (Chamsamo) in the neighborhood parks in which local residents can participate in an ongoing basis based on the solidarity of a daily living space. The important factors in the activation of resident activity are derived from 5 aspects including resources, local area, resident group capacity, resident group role, and public support. The results of the study are as follows. 1) Life-friendly resources: It was important to find life-friendly resources such as 'Chamsaem' in the park. The combined resources of continuous human activities provided various benefits to the residents. This has led to stronger attachment and community activities to continue to utilize attractive resources in the park. 2) Sharing Common Daily Spaces and Expansion: As the Chamsamo activities were centered around the neighborhood, the network of activists in the local community expanded. This led to continued resident interest and favorable participation as well as to the regional expansion of Chamsamo activities. 3) Park management as part of everyday life: Park management became a part of everyday life, and pleasant park management was facilitated by utilizing the talents of the residents, who carried out diverse activities and constantly streamlined their hard labor. 4) Chamsamo's Leadership Linking Residents and the Public Sector through Leading Park Management Activities: Chamsamo served as a middle leader in linking the public sector and its users. 5) Role and Support of the Public Sector: In order to be able to sustain the activities of residents, the government's willingness to support the resident-led activities of the park in planning and operating the public sector was required. In the public management system of the park, support for residents' activities such as financing, education, and consulting was necessary.

최근 도시 공원의 사회적 기능을 강화하고, 지속가능한 유지관리를 위해 적극적인 주민 참여가 요구되고 있다. 이에 본 연구는 지역 주민들이 일상생활공간을 기반으로 형성한 연대의식을 바탕으로 지속적인 참여가 가능한 근린생활권 공원에서 활동하는 자발적 공동체의 형성과정을 근거이론으로 분석하였다. 이를 바탕으로 공동체 활동이 활성화되는데 중요하게 작용하는 요인을 자원, 지역영역, 공동체 역량, 공동체 역할, 공공지원 5가지 측면에서 도출하였다. 연구 결과는 다음과 같다. 1) 생활 밀착형 자원: 공원 내 '참샘'과 같은 생활 밀착형 자원의 발굴이 중요하였다. 이는 강한 애착을 형성시켜 공원 내 매력적인 자원을 지속적으로 활용하기 위한 공동체 활동을 유도하였다. 2) 공통의 일상공간 공유와 확장: 공동체 활동이 근린생활권을 중심으로 이루어지면서 주민사회 내 활동자들의 네트워크가 확장되었다. 이는 지속적인 주민의 관심과 호의적 참여를 이끌어내고, 공동체 활동의 지역적 확장도 이끌어냈다. 3) 일상의 한 부분으로서의 공원관리: 공원관리가 일상의 부분으로 결합되면서 쾌적한 공원관리가 가능하였다. 주민들의 재능을 활용하여 다양한 활동을 진행하고, 고된 노동을 지속적으로 효율화하였다. 4) 주도적 공원관리 활동을 통해 주민과 공공부문을 연결하는 공동체의 리더십: 공동체가 공원관리기관인 공공부문과 이용자집단인 주민들을 연결하는 중간자적 리더 역할을 수행하였다. 5) 공공부문의 역할과 지원: 지속적인 주민 활동이 이루어지는데, 공공부문의 공원 계획과 운영 측면에서 관리자의 주민 주도 활동 지원 의지가 중요하였다. 그리고 공원의 공공관리 시스템 내에서 재정, 교육, 컨설팅 등의 공동체 활동지원이 요구되었다.
