Abstract

Urban green spaces, as a means to mitigate social problems and environmental risks, are getting more attention in evaluating urban environment. The inequity of green space distribution is becoming a major issue in urban planning and management. This study investigated the characteristics of green space in 3 districts (Jung-gu, Dongdaemun-gu, Seongdong-gu), that are composed of 46 administrative divisions in central Seoul, to analyze the environmental equity of urban green spaces. The correlations between the amount of green space, including the coverage of street trees, and the socioeconomic status of each administrative division were analyzed. To deduce the effects of plant coverage on the urban temperature regime, the relationship between the normalized difference of vegetation index (NDVI) and land surface temperature (LST) was analyzed. The research revealed that the mean NDVI of an administrative division was negatively correlated with the percentage of basic living recipients and disabled people. The LST of a division with low NDVI was higher due to the lack of green coverage. Such environmental inequities were closely related to residential building type, which was strongly affected by the economic status of residents. The LST of an apartment area was $2.0^{\circ}C$ lower than that of single-family houses and multi-housing areas. This is expected as the average NDVI of the apartment area was more than twice as high as the other environments considered in this study. The inequity can be exacerbated without urban planning which is deliberately designed to reduce it.

도시지역의 사회문제 및 환경위험을 완화시킬 수 있는 수단이자 사회적 측면에서의 지속가능한 발전을 위해 질 좋은 도시녹지의 양적인 확대 및 관리에 대한 중요성이 부각되고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 서울시 중구, 동대문구, 성동구 등 3개 자치구의 46개 행정동을 대상으로 각종 사회경제적 데이터와 녹지데이터, 위성영상 등을 활용해 녹지의 분포 현황과 이의 분배적 형평성을 파악하고자 했다. 연구의 분석과정은 1) 행정동별 녹지분포 현황과 사회경제적 현황, 녹지의 효과를 체감하기 쉬운 가로수 면적 등을 파악하고, 위성영상을 이용한 정규식생지수와 지표면온도를 확인했다. 2) 이를 바탕으로 각 변수들의 상관관계 및 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 연구지역 녹지의 분배적 형평성 분석결과, 행정동별 환경특성 중 녹지율과 면적에서 큰 편차를 보였으며, 정규식생지수, 지표면온도 모두 동별 차이가 큰 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 환경변수와 사회경제적 변수와의 상관관계 분석결과, 기초생활수급자비율과 장애인비율이 높은 동의 정규식생지수가 낮고 지표면온도는 높은 것으로 나타나 환경형평성이 낮은 것으로 평가되었다. 환경불평등은 주거지역의 환경요인뿐 아니라, 주거형태와도 밀접하게 관련되어 있는 것으로 판단된다. 아파트 단지의 지표면온도는 단독 및 다가구 주택 밀집지역에 비해 $2.0^{\circ}C$ 가량 낮았으며, 정규식생지수 평균은 아파트 단지가 단독 및 다가구 주택 밀집지역에 비해 2배 이상 높은 것으로 나타났다. 녹지분포의 행정동별, 주거유형별 환경불평등성이 확인된 만큼 소외지역에 녹지의 양적 확충이 필요하며, 녹지 환경에서의 사회적 배제 극복을 위한 정책 등을 통해 배제된 지역 주민들의 삶의 질 개선 노력이 필요하다.
