초록

이번 연구는 치위생(학)과 입학 정원, 활동 치과위생사, 치과의사의 각 시 군 구별 인구 대비 분포 현황을 GIS 방법을 활용하여 시각적인 지도로 보여준다. 이런 분석은 치과위생사의 인력 수급에 대한 보건지리학적 근거를 제시하기 때문에 기존의 인력 수급 정책보다는 좀 더 객관적인 판단의 자료로 활용될 수 있다. Fig. 1, 3, 4를 유기적으로 연관지어 분석할 때, 활동 치과위생사와 치과의사의 시 군 구별 인구 대비 분포는 거의 일치한다. 이에 반해, 치위생(학)과 입학 정원과 활동 치과위생사의 시 군 구별 인구 대비 분포 사이에는 상당히 불균등 현상이 나타남을 알 수 있다. 활동 치과위생사와 치과의사의 절반 정도가 각각 서울특별시와 경기도에 집중되어 있는데 반해, 치위생(학)과 입학 정원의 18.9%가 서울특별시와 경기도에 분포되어 있으며, 81.1%는 전국 시 군 구별로 다양하게 분포되어 있다. 치과위생사의 인력 수급에 관한 기존의 정책적 입장은 치과위생사 인력이 더 증가해야 하며 치위생(학)과를 신설 또는 증설해야 한다는 것이다. 하지만 이번 연구에서 분석한 결과, 현재의 상황은 치위생(학)과 입학 정원과 활동 치과위생사 사이의 지리적 불균등 현상이 지속되고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이렇게 매년 면허를 새로 받는 치과위생사들이 자신이 공부했던 치위생(학)과가 있는 시 군 구를 떠나 서울특별시 및 수도권을 포함한 광역시로 집중되는 상황에서, 치과위생사 인력이 부족한 지역에 치위생(학)과를 신 증설한다고 해서 치과위생사의 지리적 불균등 현상을 해소할 수 없음을 분명하게 보여준다. 따라서 치과위생사의 인력수급 문제해결을 위하여 다양한 요인분석을 통한 후속 연구가 필요할 것으로 생각된다.

The objective of this research is to analyze geographical distribution of Korean dental hygienists to provide the geographical basis of supply-side policy for dental hygienists from the perspective of dental geography by using Geographic Information System (GIS) in which the choropleth map has been regarded as the most popular method. The present report is highly meaningful for the policy of dental hygienist on the supply side of dental care market. The data used in the article derive from the statistics-associated portal site provided by Korean government. It includes the statistics on general population, the regional numbers of dental hygiene students, county-based numbers of registered dental hygienists, dentists, and dental clinics and hospitals. Several maps are created by investigating these statistical data with GIS. This study is focused on the comparative analysis between entrants to the department of dental hygiene, registered acting dental hygienists and dentists in terms of county-based distribution per its population. The main result demonstrates that whereas about half of dental hygienists and dentists are respectively concentrated in Seoul and Gyung-gi, just one-fifth of entrants to the department of dental hygiene in the Seoul-metropolitan area. From the perspective of the supply-side policy of dental hygienists, the research argues that the creation or expansion of the department of dental hygiene does not directly meet social need for dental care services.
