Abstract

Korea entered the aging society in 2000 and has been officially classified as an aged society as of 2019. As a result thereof, the number of aging seamen and the number of marine accidents of aging crews have consistently increased every year. The aging of drivers, in the relam of road traffic, is the same as those in the field of shipping. However, research and policy-making to solve these problems in the realm of road transportation are more active than in the shipping field. Therefore, this study is aimed at finding education methods for reducing traffic accidents by old aging drivers and determining the benchmark in terms of maritime education. In the area of domestic and foreign road traffic, traffic safety education for older aging drivers is implemented as a way to reduce the causes of human factors in traffic accidents. This study analyzed the current situation of the maritime education field and combined it with the solution in the field of road traffic. First, it is deemed necessary to implement professional license acquisition education. Second, job refresher training for the renewal of the license for aging seamen has to be implemented. Lastly, it is imperative to implement the age transition education for aging seamen. This study, however, is limited to determining the improvement plan for maritime education in relation to aging seamen. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate varying studies in the future.

우리나라는 2000년 고령화 사회에 진입한 이후 2019년 현재 고령사회로 분류되고 있다. 이에 따라 고령선원의 수는 해를 거듭할수록 증가하는 추세이고, 고령선원의 해양사고 건수도 해마다 증가하고 있다. 도로 교통분야에서도 운전자의 고령화가 해운분야와 동일하게 나타나고 있다. 하지만, 도로 교통분야에서는 이러한 문제를 해결하려는 연구와 정책 등이 해운분야에 비해 활발하게 진행되었다. 이에 본 연구에서는 도로 교통분야에서 고령운전자에 의한 교통사고 발생원인을 줄이기 위한 노력 중 교육분야에 한정하여 살펴보고 이를 해기교육에 벤치마킹하였다. 국내·외 도로 교통분야에서는 인적요인 등의 발생원인을 줄이기 위한 방안의 하나로 고령운전자 교통안전교육을 시행하고 있다. 고령화에 따른 교육분야 문제 현황을 분석하고 도로 교통분야의 해결방안과 접목하였으며, 그에 따른 해기교육 개선방안은 다음과 같다. 첫째, 전문적인 면허취득교육을 시행하는 방안이다. 둘째, 고령선원의 면허갱신 시 직무 보수교육을 시행하는 방안이다. 마지막으로 고령선원 연령전환 교육을 시행하는 방안이다. 다만, 본 연구는 선원고령화에 따른 해기교육분야의 개선방안에 한정된 연구인 만큼 향후 다양한 분야에서의 연구가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.
