Abstract

Public library usage is closely related to the accessibility to library facilities. Therefore, public library planning and development authorities should consider the policies for improving the library accessibility of community, for releasing disparities of the spatial accessibility and for increasing location efficiency of public libraries. In this regard, this study strives to analyze the spatial distribution of public libraries in Busan and to derive the regions that lack public libraries by identifying main characteristics using geographical information systems (GIS): identify the blind spot for public library service, analyze the hot and cold spot for the supply of libraries, and identify the vulnerable areas of library based on population density. The result of the study will contribute to understand the spatial distribution of public libraries in Busan and to prioritize sites where public library should be constructed in order to improve the accessibility to public library services.

공공도서관 접근성은 도서관 이용과 밀접한 관련이 있으며, 따라서 도서관 건립 시 지역 주민의 도서관 접근성 향상과 지역 간 격차 완화, 공공도서관 입지의 효율성을 제고할 수 있는 정책이 필요하다. 이를 위해 본 연구는 GIS 분석을 통해 부산 지역 내 공공도서관의 공간적 분포 특성을 분석하고, 공급 불균형 지역을 파악하는 것을 목적으로 하였다. 구체적으로 부산 지역 내 공공도서관 서비스 사각지역을 파악하고, 도서관 공급 양호 및 부족 지역 분석, 인구밀도에 근거한 공공도서관 공급 불균형 지역을 확인하여 도서관 건립을 위한 최우선 고려 지역을 도출하였다. 이 연구의 결과를 통해 부산 지역 공공도서관의 공간적 분포를 이해하고, 향후 공공도서관의 신규 입지 결정에 참고자료로 활용할 수 있을 것이다.
