초록

본 연구는 서울어린이대공원 내 동물원의 개선방향 설정을 위한 변화과정 연구로 어린이대공원 동물원의 시대적 변화를 물리적 변화가 뚜렷한 세 시기로 구분하여 각 시대적 특징을 도출하고, 이를 기반으로 개선방향을 제시하였다. 동물원 계획 시 고려해야할 요소를 기반으로 공간계획, 동물복지 및 프로그램으로 나누어 변화 양상을 분석한 결과는 다음과 같다. 종합테마공원 시기의 동물원은 유희적 측면에 초점을 맞추고, 관람객을 위해 동물을 전시하고, 방문객의 수요에 맞게 동물원의 영역을 확장하는 시기였다. 환경공원으로서의 동물원은 분류학적 개념을 도입하여 동물사를 배치하고, 행동풍부화 등의 동물복지 프로그램과 관람객 체험 프로그램을 도입하여 유희적 기능과 교육적 기능의 동물원을 조성하였다. 도시문화공원 속의 동물원은 동물들의 복지를 위해 노후한 동물사와 시설을 개선하고, 교육 프로그램을 확대하여 종 보존 및 환경 교육을 제공하는 시기로 특징지을 수 있다. 그러나 어린이 대공원의 동물원은 여전히 계통분류학적 전시방법에 머물러 있고, 공간의 물리적 확장이 제한된 상태에서 생태적인 서식처 구현에는 못 미치고 있다는 것을 확인할 수 있다. 시기별 특징과 변화과정을 통해 분석한 결과를 토대로 앞으로의 지향점인 생태적 동물원을 구현하기 위한 개선 방향은 세 가지로 요약할 수 있다. 우선 경관몰입을 통해 동물의 야생성을 드러낼 수 있도록 동물사 경계를 개선하고, 둘째, 기존 계통분류학적 분류 방법에서 생태 서식지를 고려한 배치 방법으로 변경하여 서식지가 유사한 동물에게 동일한 환경을 제공해 주어야 하며, 마지막으로 전문 교육 인력을 충원하여 다양한 생태 교육 프로그램을 개발하여 어린이들의 자연에 대한 생태적 인식과 체험에 기여하는 어린이 동물원으로 기능해야 한다.

This study aims to analyze the change process in order to set the improvement strategies for the zoo in the Seoul Children's Grand Park. The zoo can be reviewed through three significant time periods with noticeable changes. As a framework to analyze the major changes that happened in the zoo, this study looks at the changes in terms of the planning aspect as well as the animal welfare and program operation aspect. The findings are as follows: first, the era of general theme park turned out to have focused on exhibiting animals to meet visitor demands by expanding the zoo area of the zoo without enlarging stockyards for the animals. Second, the environmental park era created a zoo having entertaining and educational functions by arranging animal houses with the concept of zoological taxonomy and introducing animal behavioral enrichment, animal welfare programs and visitor participatory programs. The era of the zoo as an Urban Cultural Park improved old animal houses and facilities for the welfare of the animals and increased educational programs to preserve species and provide environmental education. The current status of the zoo turns out not to meet the conditions for creating an ecological zoo, which is the overall goal for contemporary zoos. The improvement strategies based on the analysis through three different eras are three-fold. First, the zoo needs to improve the boundary conditions of the animals to showcase animal wildness through landscape immersion. Second, the zoo should provide a shared environment for animals from the same habitats by changing the classification methods from the existing polyphyletic taxon to a classification that considers ecological habitat. Third, the zoo needs to develop various ecological education programs by supplementing specialists in professional education.
