Abstract

This research is to explore resident's assessment of the Automated Vacuum Waste Collection System (AVWCS), which is devised to attain sustainability of residential environment. A number of AVWCS has been installed in Gyeonggi Province, so 283 households in 11 new public housing estates of 5 cities participated in a self-administered questionnaire survey. The data collected from 133 respondents in for-sale housing estates and 150 participants in rental housing estates, and the primary findings were as follows: a vast majority of both owners and renters had neither been aware of nor used the system before moving to their current housing estate. Also, most of the respondents learned how to use the AVWCS from on-site housing management staff, and the learning among renters was greatly delayed. Renters were in stronger favor of the system than owners, and their satisfaction was greater than the counterpart. Although few items were unsatisfactory, many emphasized that AVWCS should be augmented with user-centered, environmentally friendly features, and also they viewed that the system would substantially contribute to sustainable urban environment.

본 연구는 쾌적한 주거환경과 지속가능한 도시를 구현하기 위한 일환으로 신규 공공주택단지에 건설된 생활폐기물 자동집하시설을 이용하는 거주자를 대상으로 그 사용 평가를 분석하는데 그 목적이 있다. 6개 도시 소재 분양 및 임대 아파트 단지 11곳의 거주자들을 대상으로 설문조사를 하였으며, 통계분석한 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 거주자들 대부분은 현주택단지에 이사 오기 전까지 생활폐기물 자동집하시설을 들어보거나 사용해 경험이 없었으며, 대부분 이사 직후 관리사무소 직원을 통해 사용법을 습득하였다. 다만, 분양아파트 거주자들에 비해 임대아파트 거주자들의 이용법 교습시점이 3배 이상 늦어졌다. 생활폐기물 자동집하시설에 대한 만족도는 분양아파트 거주자보다 임대아파트 거주자들에게서 더 높았고, 세부적인 항목에서도 임대아파트 거주자들이 보다 더 긍정적으로 평가하였다. 생활폐기물 자동집하시설에 대한 부정적으로 평가된 항목은 거의 없었으나 사용자 중심의 편리성이 강화된 시설로 거듭나는 요구가 있었다. 분양 및 임대아파트 거주자들 대부분은 생활폐기물 자동집하시설이 쾌적한 주거환경 구축하므로 확대 보급되어야 한다고 하였다.
