Abstract

For urban parks' rational and efficient management, research on creating green spaces in living area through citizen participation is continuously being conducted. However, in existing studies, citizens are recognized as a homogeneous group, and research on the intention to participate in park management according to user characteristics has not been conducted. A few studies have attempted to show differences through conceptual variables, such as user satisfaction and attachment to parks, but studies on sociodemographic factors, such as the users' age, have not been conducted. This study was conducted to ascertain the differences in preferred parks and park management participation methods by age, targeting various parks located in ten districts of Incheon Metropolitan City. Regression analysis was performed after collecting 1,226 questionnaires, applying a population-proportional allocation in the ten districts. As a result of the study, it was found that the difference according to the age of users has the most influence on the willingness to manage the park rather than the satisfaction or other factors. Also, a chi-square analysis was conducted to find the differences in preferred urban parks and management methods by age. The results showed that the choice to manage parks was statistically higher for those in their 50s or older, and the differences in preferred park types and desired park greening methods suggested implications for park management plans by age.

도시공원의 합리적이고 효율적인 관리를 위해 시민참여를 통한 생활권 녹지 조성방안에 대한 연구가 지속적으로 이뤄지고 있지만, 기존의 연구에서는 시민을 동일한 성격의 집단으로 인식하고 이용자의 특성 차이에 따른 공원관리 참여에 대한 연구는 진행되지 않고 있다. 특히 기존의 연구는 이용자의 만족도나 애착심과 같은 개념적인 변수를 통한 차이만 보고자 하였고, 이용자의 연령과 같은 사회인구학적 요소에 대한 연구는 아직까지 수행되지 않고 있다. 이러한 연구의 한계점을 가지고 본 연구는 인천광역시의 10개 구·군에 광역적으로 존재하는 도시공원을 대상으로 연령별 선호하는 공원과 공원관리 참여방법의 차이에 대한 연구를 진행하였다. 인천시 거주주민과 공무원을 대상으로 하였고, 10개 구·군에 인구 비례 할당을 적용하여 총 1,226부의 설문을 걷어 회귀분석을 수행하였다. 연구결과, 만족도 및 다른 요인보다 이용자의 연령에 따른 차이가 공원관리 의지에 가장 영향을 많이 미친다는 결과를 얻었고, 이를 바탕으로 연령별 선호하는 도시공원 및 관리방법 차이를 알아내기 위해 카이스퀘어 분석을 수행하였다. 연구 결과, 젊은층보다는 50대이상의 연령층이 공원관리 의지가 통계적으로 높음이 확인되었으며 선호하는 공원유형과 희망하는 공원녹지화 방법에 대한 차이를 통해 연령별 공원관리방안에 대한 시사점을 제시하였다.
