Abstract

This study aims to propose improvement plans and directions of existing policies to build a Barrier-Free city for the socially underprivileged. We conducted correlation analysis and T-test based on the results of a survey of the general public including the socially underprivileged to understand how their satisfaction with the use of facilities close to their daily lives, such as housing, sales·business facilities, affects their happiness. The results are as follows: First of all, the socially underprivileged experienced discomfort and barriers in urban life more than the privileged, and there was a negative(-) correlation between the degree of discomfort and barrier that the socially underprivileged experienced and happiness in urban life. Second, as a result of analyzing the difference in satisfaction with the life·welfare·leisure environment indicators, the satisfaction with the life environment showed a significant difference between the socially underprivileged and the privileged, and it was found that satisfaction in the life environment had the greatest effect on happiness to the socially underprivileged. We examined the current status and the spatial distribution of BF-certified facilities, one of the representative policies for the socially underprivileged to support their urban life without any obstacles, based on the above outcome, and most certified facilities were concentrated in welfare environment. In addition, we used ArcGIS to analyze that BF-certified facilities have been being supplied to people who really need them and saw that the spatial distribution of the socially underprivileged (elderly, children, and infant) and the distribution of BF certification facilities were somewhat consistent, but were intensively supplied to urban areas.

본 연구는 장애인, 노인, 임산부 등 사회적 약자들이 체감할 수 있는 무장애도시를 구현하기 위한 정책의 개선방안 및 방향을 제시하고자 한다. 주택, 판매·업무시설 등 시민들의 일상생활과 밀접한 시설의 이용 만족도가 시민의 행복감에 미치는 영향을 파악하기 위하여 일반인과 사회적 약자를 대상으로 진행한 설문조사 결과를 바탕으로 상관분석과 T-test를 진행하였다. 연구 결과 첫째, 사회적 약자가 일반인보다 더 높은 비율로 도시생활에서 불편·장벽을 경험하고 있었으며, 사회적 약자의 불편·장벽 경험 정도와 도시생활의 행복감은 음(-)의 상관관계를 보였다. 둘째, 시민의 생활·복지·여가환경부문별 이용만족도 차이를 분석한 결과, 생활환경부문에서 일반인과 사회적 약자 간 만족도가 유의미한 차이를 보였으며 사회적 약자의 경우 생활환경부문의 만족도가 행복감에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 위와 같은 연구결과를 바탕으로 사회적 약자들의 장애물 없는 도시생활을 지원하기 위한 대표적인 정책 중 하나인 BF 인증시설 인증현황을 살펴본 결과 복지환경부문의 시설이 주로 공급되고 있었다. 또한 BF 인증시설이 실수요자 중심으로 공급되고 있는지 파악하기 위해 ArcGIS를 활용하여 분석한 결과 사회적 약자(고령인구, 어린이, 유아)의 공간적 분포와 BF 인증시설의 분포는 다소 일치하나 도심지역에 집중적으로 공급되는 것을 확인하였다.
