초록

숲공간에서의 경험과 놀이가 유아의 성장과 발달에 효과적으로 작용하는 것으로 밝혀지면서, 최근 숲활동공간에 대한 연구와 관련 조성사업이 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 그러나 많은 연구들이 숲활동의 효과를 중심으로 하고 있어, 숲활동을 위한 공간설계에 적용하기에는 한계가 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 숲활동공간의 물리적 환경특성이 유아놀이행태와 유아발달 과정에 미치는 영향을 파악하여, 숲활동공간 설계 시 적용할 수 있는 근거를 제공하고자 한다. 연구방법으로는 우선 유아발달과정의 지표인 인지 사회놀이를 유아의 놀이행태유형으로 선정하고, 숲활동공간은 놀이시설공간과 숲속공간으로 구분하였다. 각 공간의 환경특성으로는 놀이시설공간의 경우, 놀이영역과 포장재, 숲속공간의 교목 및 관목밀도, 경사, 포장재, 자연낱개재료로 선정하였다. 환경조사와 행태관찰조사를 바탕으로 만 4, 5세 유아들이 각 공간에서 보이는 놀이행태의 유형과 발생빈도를 조사분석하였다. 연구결과, 1) 놀이시설공간에서는 시설과 모래장이 함께 있는 시설물놀이터에서 놀이행태가 높게 발생했으며, 인지 사회놀이는 기능-혼자와 기능-병행놀이가 우세하게 발현되었다. 2) 숲속공간에서는 낮은 밀도의 식재공간과 자연낱개재료가 있는 환경에서 다양한 유아놀이행태가 나타났고, 기능-집단놀이와 발달단계의 최상위인 상징-집단놀이가 높은 빈도로 나타났다. 3) 상징-집단놀이는 소밀도 이하의 교목, 10~20도 경사, 땅에 고정된 대형 그루터기의 환경특성에 더 큰 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구의 결과는 유아들의 놀이행태를 직접 관찰하고 분석함으로써, 유아들의 숲활동을 위한 공간조성시 적용할 수 있는 물리적 환경특성의 기준이 될 것으로 기대한다.

The experience and play activities in forest spaces have played an effective role in children's growth and development, therefore, many studies and projects related to forest activity space have progressed actively. However, the focus of previous research has been merely on the effectiveness of forest activity but little on providing the basis for the spatial design of these types of forest activity spaces. Thus, this study aims to identify the relationship between children's developmental play activity and the physical characteristics of forest activity spaces for evidence-based design. First of all, indicators for Cognitive-Social play(CSP) was selected and forest spaces were categorize into play facility spaces and forest spaces. More detailed environmental characteristics of each space were 'play area' and 'paving materials' for play facilities and 'density of tree and shrub', 'slope', 'paving materials' and 'fixing and type of natural loose parts' for forest space. Through environmental inventory and behavior observation, the types of play behaviors and the occurrence frequency of children aged four to five were collected and analyzed. The results were as follows: 1) In play facility spaces, play behaviors occurred at a high frequency at the facility playground with play facilities and sand area. In terms of CSP, functional-solitary and functional-parallel plays occurred predominantly. 2) In forest spaces, various play behaviors occurred at high frequency in the environment with low density planting and various natural loose parts. For CSP, functional-group and symbolic-group plays occurred at a high frequency. 3) Symbolic-group play appeared to be highly affected by environmental characteristics like tree area of scatter density or less, 10~20 degree slope, and the presence of fixed large stumps. In conclusion, this study provides standards of physical environmental characteristics for forest activity space design through direct observation and analysis of children's play behaviors.
