Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze the effect of volunteering experience at a small library in an apartment complex on the formation of a sense of community through a qualitative method. To achieve the study purpose, thirty-three volunteers from five small libraries in an apartment complex in DS-gu at D Metropolitan City were interviewed. According to the study results, they started volunteering at the libraries as a main user of the libraries. Through the volunteering experience, they had positive feelings about the libraries and were aware of the problems with the libraries. Furthermore, the volunteering experience facilitated communication among the residents of the apartment and they recognized the libraries as a shared community space. Finally, through the above processes, the volunteering experience contributes to formimg a sense of community.

본 연구의 목적은 아파트 단지 내 작은도서관에서의 자원봉사활동 경험이 지역공동체 의식 형성에 기여하게 되는 과정을 질적분석을 통해 알아보는 데 있다. 연구목적 달성을 위해 D 광역시 DS 구에 있는 5개 아파트 도서관에서 자원봉사활동을 하고 있는 33명의 봉사자와 인터뷰를 진행하였다. 분석결과 자원봉사활동의 시작은 본인이 도서관의주 이용자가 되어서 도서관을 통해 긍정적 경험을 하고 동시에 도서관에 대한 문제점을 인식하면서인 것으로 나타났다. 자원봉사활동을 통해 그들은 지역주민들과 더욱 활발히 소통하게 되고 도서관이라는 공간을 함께하는 공간으로 인식하게 되며, 이러한 인식을 통해 자원봉사활동경험은 지역에 대한 공동체 의식을 형성하는데 기여하는 것으로 나타났다.
