Abstract

The Daegu Metropolitan Transit Corporation Advisory Committee has chosen 5 styles of bridge-pier designs, including coating, graphic, planting, billboard and safety-facility style, based on the results of landscape simulations from a previous study. This study was conducted to investigate citizen's preferences and emotional images for each style of bridge-pier design, by aiming at the pilot urban landscape improvement section from Daebong Bridge in Suseong Gu to the crossroads near Dongseong Elementary School in Daegu Metropolitan City. The questionnaire was drawn up regarding the urban landscape improvement plans applied to the research area, and the questions were about citizens' perception of bridge-pier structures generated by constructing a light rail transit, important factors to consider when designing bridge piers, preferences for each style of bridge-pier design and emotional impact. 60.4% of the survey participants were found to perceive bridge-pier structures as unattractive, so it was necessary to improve them aesthetically. Regarding visual factors of bridge-pier designs, color was most important at 5.81, followed by form at 5.57. Regarding aesthetic component factors, harmony was most important at 6.07, followed by amenity at 6.00. In the survey participants' preference for each bridge-pier design, the graphic style was preferred most at 4.14, followed by the planting style. In emotional adjectives used for each bridge-pier design, the coating style, the safety-facility style and the non-treatment style showed similar results, and all of these styles were evaluated as artificial, lifeless and desolate. The graphic style and the billboard style showed different tendencies, depending on visual factors and aesthetic component factors applied to the graphic design used for these two bridge-pier styles. Since natural materials were used for the planting style, however, it showed high preference for such emotional images as natural and lively. The emotional adjective 'amiable' was found to affect citizens' preferences for each bridge-pier aesthetic improvement plan most, and it was also analyzed to have an effect on all the styles of bridge-pier designs. To improve the landscape of a light rail transit being constructed inside the urban area, this study quantitatively extracted citizens' preferences and emotional adjective for every style of bridge-pier design applied to the pilot urban landscape improvement section, and it is expected that the results of this study will be used as basic data to improve the landscape of bridge piers.

본 연구는 대구도시철도 3호선의 교각미관개선 시험구간을 대상으로 경관 개선을 위한 방안을 제안하고자 하였다. 연구방법은 교각에 대한 인식과 디자인 시 중요요소를 조사하고, 코팅, 그래픽, 피복식물, 광고판 등의 선호도 및 감성평가를 실시하였다. 경전철의 교각은 평가자들의 60.4%가 부정적으로 인식하고 있으며, 미관개선이 필요한 것으로 조사되었다. 교각디자인 시 고려해야할 시각적 요소는 색채 5.81, 형태 5.57, 미적구성 요소에는 조화 6.07, 쾌적성 6.00 등의 순서로 높게 나타났다. 미관개선별 선호도는 그래픽 4.14, 피복식물 3.57, 코팅 3.23, 광고판 2.82 등의 순서로 분석되었으나, 연구대상지 피복식물은 생육이 나빠 피복율이 낮은 상태에서 이루어진 점을 고려해야 할 것으로 판단된다. 감성평가에서 코팅, 안전시설, 무처리는 '인공적인', '생기없는', '삭막한'이 대표적인 경향으로 나타났고, 자연재료를 사용한 피복식물은 타 유형에 비해 '자연적인', '생기있는'이 높은 것으로 분석되었다. 반면, 그래픽과 광고판은 대표적인 감성 요소 없이 디자인에 따라 상이한 것으로 나타났다. 교각 미관개선을 위해서는 우선적으로 주변 환경과 조화로움, 이용자의 정감성을 고려할 필요가 있으며, 본 연구의 결과는 경전철 교각의 경관문제 개선에 필요한 기초자료로 활용할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
