초록

아동친화도시는 아동이 행복하게 살 수 있도록 지역사회 환경을 조성하는 것으로 아동권리가 보장된 환경이 조성될 때에 가능하다. 이에 본 연구는 아동권리와 행복감의 관계에 대해서 검증하여 아동이 살기 좋은 아동친화도시구축을 위해 지원해야할 사항이 무엇인지 탐색하였다. 이를 위해 아동친화도시 인증을 받은 W지역의 초등학생과 중학생 1000명을 대상으로 설문조사하여 이를 분석하였다. 분석결과 첫째, 초등학생이 중학생보다 아동권리인식이 높은 것으로 조사되었다. 둘째로, 행복감에 영향을 미치는 아동권리는 건강과 사회서비스, 교육환경으로 나타났다. 셋째로, 행복감에 영향을 미치는 아동권리는 학교급에 따라 다르게 나타났는데, 초등학생의 경우는 가정환경, 안전과 보호, 교육환경이 중요하게 부각되며, 중학생은 건강과 사회서비스, 안전과 보호가 중요한 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 연구결과를 토대로 아동친화도시 구축을 위해 보건, 복지, 교육, 안전 등의 다양한 측면을 고려한 융복합적 개입과 접근이 필요함을 제언하였다.
