Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze the effect of neighborhood environmental perception on park use for health. The study area is focused on neighborhood parks in Suseong-gu, Daegu city. The analysis results are based on questionnaires of 303 respondents. According to the results, park use for health improvement was significantly associated with the perceptions of accessibility to a marketplace, availability of public transit, accessibility to the park, enough sidewalks, number of crosswalks, and athletic population. The probability of park use increased by 2.326 times as the satisfaction of accessibility to the park increased. Also, greater athletic population, fewer crosswalks, and more sidewalks lead to increase of park use by 1.701, 1.617, and 1.642 times, respectively. Therefore, it is important to increase the available neighborhood parks around residences and to develop exercise programs that people can use continuously in order to vitalize park use for health improvement. Also, it is necessary to improve the convenience of walking such as development of pedestrian streets or malls between residences and parks.

본 연구는 건강증진 목적의 공원이용 유무에 따른 거주지 주변 환경 인식의 차이를 살펴보고 거주지 환경인식특성이 공원이용에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 연구대상지는 대구광역시 수성구의 근린공원 및 유원지로 설정하였으며, 총 303명의 설문응답 분석을 통해 결과를 도출하였다. 연구결과를 요약하면, 총 16개의 물리적 환경인식 지표들 중 시장 및 상가시설의 접근성, 대중교통의 이용성, 공원 등 녹지공간의 접근성, 충분한 보도, 횡단해야 하는 도로의 수, 운동인구를 포함한 6개의 지표가 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 공원을 이용할 확률은 공원 등 녹지공간의 접근성에 대한 만족도가 증가할수록 2.326배, 주변에 운동하는 인구가 많을수록 1.701배, 횡단해야 하는 도로의 수가 적을수록 1.617배, 충분한 보도가 설치되어 있다고 인식할수록 1.642배 증가하는 것으로 분석되었다. 따라서 건강증진 목적의 공원이용을 활성화하기 위해서는 거주지 주변에 이용 가능한 공원녹지를 확대하고 주민들이 지속적으로 이용할 수 있는 운동 프로그램을 개발하는 것이 중요할 것이다. 또한 주거지와 공원을 연결하는 보행자 전용도로를 계획하는 등 보행의 편의성을 높이기 위한 노력이 필요할 것으로 판단된다.
