Abstract

Purpose: This study is the analysis of the relationship between the physical safety of the urban spaces and the aging in place tendency of the elderly. Method: For analysis, the physical safety of the urban space is divided into four elements: outdoor space and building safety, pedestrian safety, transportation safety and living safety, and for aging in place, the 5-point Likert scale was used. A questionnaire survey was conducted for 411 elderly people aged 65 or older living in Seoul for each of the five urban community in Seoul. Results: 78.6% of the respondents answered that they are good at continuing to live in the present living area, the elderly living in Seoul has the high tendency of aging in place. The ratio of respondents who answered that good at living continuedly is in the order of southeast, northwest, southwest, northeast, and downtown. Conclusion: When the percentage of respondents who answered that they are good at staying in the current living area is high, not only the overall physical safety but also the average of the physical safety factors of the urban space are also high, physical safety of urban spaces is a factor affecting aging in place. Based on the results of the study, it can be applied as a method to create a safe city in the process of city development or urban renewal in the future.

연구목적 :본 연구는 노인들이 인지하는 거주환경의 물리적 안전과 노인들의 계속 거주 의향과의 관계에 대한 분석을 목적으로 한다. 연구방법 : 연구를 위해 도시공간의 물리적 안전은 옥외공간과 건물의 안전, 보행안전, 교통안전 및 주거안전의 4가지 요소로 구분하였으며 계속거주의향에 대해서는 5점 리커트 척도로 구성하여 서울시거주 65세 이상 노인 411명을 대상으로 서울시 5개 권역별로 설문조사를 실시하였다. 연구결과 : 분석결과 응답자의 78.6%가 현 지역에서의 계속거주에 좋다고 응답하여 서울의 노인들은 에이징 인 플레이스(Aging in Place)의 경향이 강하다는 것을 알 수 있었으며 서울시 권역별로는 동남생활권, 서북생활권, 서남생활권, 동북생활권, 도심생활권 순으로 계속 거주가 좋다고 응답하였다. 결론 :현재 사는 지역에서 계속 거주하는 것에 대해 좋다고 응답한 비율이 높은 경우, 도시공간의 물리적 안전 전반 뿐 아니라 물리적 안전 요소들의 평균도 높아 물리적 안전이 현 지역에 계속 살고자 하는데 영향을 끼치는 요인이라는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 연구 결과를 바탕으로 차후 신도시 조성 혹은 도시 재생의 과정에서 안전한 도시를 조성하는 방안의 일환으로 적용될 수 있을 것이다.
