Abstract

최근 우리나라는 인구감소와 이로 인한 도시 축소를 경험하고 있다. 이 연구는 축소도시의 개념을 인구감소와 공간구조변화 관점에서 정리하고 축소도시에서 사용할 수 있는 도시 내 녹지 활용 방안에 대한 연구이다. 이를 위해 축소도시의 정의를 검토한 후 축소도시의 특징인 인구감소와 도시 내 공간구조의 변화에 대해 정리하였다. 축소도시는 인구감소와 경제적 침체를 경험하고 있으며 이로 인한 유휴지, 유휴건물 등 공간적 변화를 동반하고 있다. 이러한 특성으로 인해 도시 내 지속가능한 발전 방안이 필요하며 녹지의 전략적 활용이 요두된다. 또한 도시에서 활용할 수 있는 녹지의 유형을 도시숲, 도시농업, 벽면녹화, 옥상녹화, 가로수로 구분하여 각 유형의 개념을 검토하였다. 도시 내 녹지 유형은 각 유형에 대한 정의와 함께, 유형별로 필요한 규모를 검토하고, 해당 유형을 제공하는데 필요한 기술의 정도로 분류하였다. 이후 축소도시 활성화에 도움이 될 수 있는 도시 내 녹지 활용 방안을 제안하였다. 축소도시 내 녹지의 활용은 지속가능한 개발을 지향하며 다음 세대를 위한 환경적 비용과 혜택에 대한 고려가 필요하다. 이 연구는 축소도시의 개념과 도시 내 녹지 유형 및 활용 방안에 대한 기초적 연구로 그 의미를 가진다.
