Abstract

Urban parks are important spaces of ecological and socio-cultural value to citizens who lead busy lives in increasingly complex and densely populated megalopolises. However, creating and maintaining city parks takes the will of the authorities to put it into practice and provide the attendant financial resources. That explains why we are focused on the budget aspects for the Seoul Metropolitan City in relation to creating park spaces. Our findings were as follows: 1) The overall city budget has steadily increased, but the budget allocated to Green Seoul Bureau and new park development has decreased since 2011. 2) As for elected officials, the budget grew during the time of the first, third, and fourth mayors as the creation of parks was considered to be a major priority, but after the sixth popularly elected mayor, the budget was sharply cut. 3) About 10% of the budget was allocated to the parks managed by the self-governing districts, compared to the ones under the direct management of the city. Furthermore, the analysis of the average annual budget for each park and how long (in terms of year) the budget for each park is invested showed that it was classified into three different types of category. Local governments adhere to the principle that their budget must be compiled and expended for a single year, which makes it hard to establish and push ahead with a long-term plan. However, as parks and green areas should not be approached from a short-term perspective for performance but from a long-term perspective, securing the consistent amount of budget is essential. This study has significance in that it attempted to analyze the budget issues related to parks, which has not been studied in depth so far, but the subject in this paper was limited to the budget for Green Seoul Bureau. Therefore, further research is needed because the parks managed by the self-governing districts were not considered.

도시공원은 복잡하고 과밀한 도시에서 도시민들에게 생태적 가치뿐만 아니라, 사회문화적 가치가 있는 중요한 시설이자 공간이다. 하지만, 도시공원을 조성하고 유지관리하기 위해서는 다양한 주체의 의지와 실행이 필요하며, 특히 재정적인 부분이 뒷받침되어야 한다. 이에 본 연구에서는 서울시를 대상으로 도시공원 조성 관련 예산분석을 진행하였다. 연구결과, 첫째, 서울시 예산은 지속적으로 증가한 반면, 푸른도시국 및 공원 조성 예산은 2011년 이후 감소하였다. 민선시기별로 보면 공원조성이 주요 시책사업이었던 민선 1기, 3기, 4기에는 예산이 증가한 반면, 민선 6기 이후부터는 예산이 급격하게 감소하였다. 시공원에 비해 자치구에서 관리하는 공원은 예산이 10% 내외로 분석되었다. 둘째, 예산편성 특징인 공원별 연평균예산과 예산투입기간(연단위)을 기준으로 3개의 유형으로 구분할 수 있었다. 단년도 예산편성을 원칙으로 하는 지방자치단체 여건상 장기적인 관점에서 계획을 세우고 추진하는 것은 어려움이 있을 것이다. 하지만, 공원녹지는 단기적인 성과를 위한 사업이 아닌 장기적인 관점에서 접근하여야 하는 만큼 지속적인 예산확보를 위한 방안이 필요하다. 본 연구는 그동안 연구되지 않았던 공원 관련 예산분석을 시도하였다는 점에서 의의가 있으나, 연구대상을 푸른도시국 예산으로 한정하여 자치구 관할 공원에 대해서는 검토하지 못한 한계가 있어 추가 연구가 필요하다.
