초록

본 연구의 목적은 도서관 이용자의 도서관 내부 공간 이용행태를 분석하고 이를 바탕으로 도서관 이용률을 높이기 위한 방안을 제안하는데 있다. 도서관 이용자들의 스마트폰 와이파이 신호를 이용하여 도서관 내부 공간에서의 이동 패턴을 분석하였다. 서울 소재 공공도서관을 연구 대상으로 선정하고 와이파이 수신기를 설치하였다. 2016년 9월부터 12월까지 데이터를 수집하였고 분석결과를 바탕으로 도서관 이용률 향상을 위해 다음과 같이 제안하였다. 도서관 공간 중에서 한 공간만을 이용하는 이용자는 전체 중에서 27.17%로 나타났고 이들 중에서 28.69%는 1층 로비에서 도서반납만을 한 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 이용자들의 도서반납 편의성을 위한 방안 마련이 요구된다. 또한 도서관 문화프로그램과 서가 공간의 연계성이 낮다는 점에서 도서를 연계한 프로그램의 개선이 필요하다.

The purpose of this study is to analyze how library visitors use spaces in the library and to make suggestions for improving library use environments. Library use patterns were analyzed by tracking the users' smartphone WiFi. A library located in Seoul, Korea was selected and detectors were installed in the library. The suggestions from the results analyzing data collected between September, 2016 and December, 2016 were as followed. 27.17% of library visitors used a space in the library. Among them, 28.69% used the lobby to return their checked-out materials. Therefore, the library is recommended to install a device in the area in which users are easy to return their items. Additionally, since the spatial relationship between cultural program room and book shelves was low, those programs might be improved by providing library materials related with them.
