Abstract

As social anxiety is increasing due to the spread of the COVID-19 epidemic, the responses at the level of local governments are also changing depending on the characteristics. We analyzed the factors influencing perceptions of social safety as they relate to the trustworthiness of local governments. Based on a 2020 social survey of 16 cities, counties, and districts in Busan Metropolitan City, the effects of householder characteristics, economic characteristics, local attachment characteristics, and social safety perception characteristics on the reliability of the local government were analyzed through an ordinal logistic regression analysis. It was found that the more vulnerable the class was and the safer the region was, the higher the trust was in the basic local government. In order to respond and preemptively recover damage in natural and social disaster situations, continuous efforts are needed to strengthen the capabilities of basic local governments.

코로나19 유행의 확산으로 인해 사회적 불안감이 높아지고 있는 가운데 기초지방자치단체 수준에서의 대응도 그 특성에 따라 달라지고 있다. 이에 2020년 부산광역시의 16개 시군구를 대상으로 한 사회조사를 바탕으로 가구주의 특성, 경제적 특성, 지역 애착 특성, 사회 안전에 대한 인식 특성이 기초지방자치단체 신뢰도에 미치는 영향을 순서형 로지스틱 회귀분석을 통해 분석하였다. 취약계층일수록, 지역이 안전하다고 느낄수록 기초지방자치단체에 대한 신뢰도가 높은 것으로 나타났다. 자연 및 사회적 재난 상황에서의 피해를 선제적으로 대응하고 회복하기 위해서 기초지방자치단체의 역량 강화에 지속적인 노력이 필요하다.
