Abstract

The park program can adeptly cope with the diversification of leisure needs in accordance with the changing times. The program also makes the relationship between the users and the park itself closer. For this reason, the Seoul Metropolitan Government has operated a variety of programs, beginning with the Botanical Class Program at the Namsan Outdoor Botanical Garden in 1997. The government additionally began to organize park programs by establishing the Park and Leisure Department and three Park Greenery Offices. However, research on park programs is mainly focused on park users. Therefore, this study intends to reveal the structure of the programs by studying the program operation. The specific purposes of this study are '1. Review the institutional characteristics that underlie the operation of the Park Program in Seoul by examining the relevant laws, the operation organizations, and the personnel composition, 2. Analyze the operation methods, such as procurement and the execution of the program, operation costs, and public-private cooperation methods, etc. 3. Analyze the composition and contents of the program from 2015 to 2017, and process and identify the relationship between the structure of the program operation and the program itself.' Summarizing the results obtained from the study, as far as the structure of the first program operation, the support laws were not systematic, but the operating organization was working to establish a system. The second characteristic of the operation is that most of the budget was funded by local governments, but the level of citizen involvement was low. Third, when we looked at the characteristics of the program, the number of programs increased, but they were focused on a specific theme and few programs actively used the park facilities. Based on the results, three tasks can be proposed. The first is that the 'Act on Parks and Green Spaces' should include the concepts and support for park programs. Second, there is a need to change from the ideas of the quantitative increase of programs to qualitative improvements. Lastly, it is necessary to reorganize the Green Seoul Bureau of the Seoul Metropolitan Government into a citizen-led and leisure-oriented organization to promote the park leisure culture. This study has significance, as it was conducted with a service provider, not a program user, unlike many previous park program-related studies. The results of this study will be able to contribute not only to the Seoul Metropolitan Government, but also to other local governments to suggest the direction of the management and the operation of the park for the consumer, and consequently, it will help prepare the long-term vision of parks as the closest leisure location for most citizens.

공원 프로그램으로 시대 변화에 따른 여가욕구의 다양화에 빠르게 대응할 수 있으며, 이용자와 공원과의 관계를 보다 밀접하게 만들 수 있다. 이러한 이유로 서울시는 1997년의 남산 야외식물원 식물교실프로그램 이후 다양한 프로그램을 개발하여 운영하고 있고, 세 개의 공원녹지사업소에 공원여가과를 신설하여 조직적으로 접근하고 있다. 그러나 관련 연구는 공원 이용자에 집중되어 있다. 이에 본 연구는 프로그램 운영 주체를 대상으로 프로그램을 작동시키는 구조를 드러내고자 한다. 구체적 목적은 '1. 관련 법 및 운영 조직과 인력의 구성을 파악하여 서울시 공원 프로그램을 작동시키는 제도적 특성을 진단, 2. 프로그램 운영비의 조달과 집행, 민관 협력 등 운영방식을 분석, 3. 2015년부터 2017년까지 운영된 구체적 프로그램을 분석하여 프로그램 운영의 구조와 프로그램 간의 관계성 파악'이다. 연구 내용을 종합해 볼 때 첫번째 프로그램 운영의 구조에 있어서는 지원법은 체계적이지 못하나 운영 조직은 체계를 갖추어 나가고 있었다. 두번째 운영방식에서 대부분의 예산은 지방정부가 충당하고 있었고, 민간참여의 단계는 낮았다. 세 번째로 프로그램의 특성을 살펴보았을 때 프로그램은 양적으로는 증가되었지만 특정 주제에 집중되어 있었고, 공원시설을 적극 활용하는 프로그램은 적었다. 이러한 연구 결과를 근거로 세 가지 과제를 제안할 수 있다. 첫째는, '공원 및 녹지 등에 관한 법률'에 공원 프로그램에 대한 개념 및 지원에 관한 내용이 포함되도록 해야 한다는 것이다. 두 번째는, 프로그램의 양적 증가에서 질적 향상으로의 변화가 필요하다는 것이며, 마지막은 공원여가문화 활성화를 위해 서울시 푸른도시국을 시민주도 및 여가문화 지향의 조직으로 개편할 필요가 있다는 것이다. 본 연구는 기존의 많은 공원 프로그램 관련 연구와는 달리 프로그램 이용자가 아닌 서비스 제공자인 공원관리청을 연구 대상으로 했다는데 의의를 갖는다. 연구 결과는 서울시뿐만 아니라, 타 지방정부가 수요자가 중심이 되는 공원 관리 및 운영의 방향성을 제시하는데 기여할 수 있을 것이며, 결과적으로는 시민의 가장 가까운 여가공간으로서 공원의 장기적 비전을 마련하는데 도움이 될 것이다.
