This paper identifies public transit-poors and derives spatial characteristics of the poors' distribution in an urban area by utilizing buffering analysis of geographic information systems and remote sensing techniques in the case of Daegu metropolitan city. Since special attention is given to elderlies, this study assigns three hundred meter buffer from bus/subway station as service boundary for elderlies. The results of this study tell us that 1) the transit-poors are concentrated on suburban and rural regions, 2) high proportions of the transit poors are elderlies with spatial variations in many regions, 3) the main housing type of the transit-poors is single detached house. We expect that this study can contribute to build an effective policy-making by showing essential technical processes and methods in identifying policy-need groups and their characteristics of spatial distribution.

본 연구는 대전광역시의 응급의료서비스 취약지를 도출하고 취약지역의 보건학적 특성 및 응급의료서비스 취약여부와의 관련성을 분석하여 응급의료 관련 정책의 의사결정에 유용한 기초자료로 제공하기 위한 연구이다. 응급의료서비스 취약지 도출은 Arc GIS의 공간분석 방법 중 가중분석(Cost Weighted distance) 방법으로 응급의료센터로부터의 접근성 분석을 하였으며, 응급의료서비스 취약지의 보건학적 특성 및 응급의료서비스 취약여부와의 관련성은 SPSS 17.0을 이용하여 비모수 t-검정 및 다중회귀분석을 시행하였다. 본 연구의 주요 결과는 다음과 같다. 연구지역의 응급의료기관 분포는 동구와 유성구, 대덕구는 지정된 응급의료센터가 없으나 서구와 중구는 응급의료센터가 2개소 이상 위치하고 있어 응급의료기관 분포가 편중되어 있으며, GIS를 활용하여 응급의료센터와의 접근성 분석을 수행한 결과, 대전광역시 자치구별 전체 면적 대비 응급의료서비스 취약지의 비율이 높은 자치구는 동구가 41.2%로 가장 높았다. GIS를 활용하여 행정동별 응급의료서비스 취약지를 분석한 결과, 대덕구 신탄진동, 동구 대청동과 산내동, 유성구 구즉동과 노은2동, 서구 기성동, 중구 산성동으로 나타났으며, 응급의료서비스 취약지 중 기성동, 대청동이 노인 인구밀도가 높게 나타났다. 응급의료서비스 취약여부에 따른 보건학적 특성별 차이를 분석한 결과, 국민기초생활수급권자, 장애인등록자, 농업인구 비율의 평균은 취약지가 비취약지에 비해 높았으며 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보였다(p<0.01). 응급의료서비스 취약여부를 종속변수로 하고 지역별 보건학적 특성을 독립변수로 하여 로지스틱 회귀분석을 시행한 결과, 농업인구 비율과 국민기초생활수급권자 비율이 높았으며 이는 통계적으로 유의하여 응급의료서비스 취약여부를 설명할 수 있는 변수인 것으로 나타났다(p<0.01, p<0.05). 이상의 결과를 종합하면 대전광역시 5개 자치구의 행정동 중 응급의료서비스 접근 불평등지역이 도출되었고 이러한 지역은 보건학적 특성 중 농업인구 비율과 국민기초생활수급권자의 비율이 높았으며 이는 통계적으로 유의하여 응급의료서비스 취약여부와 관련성이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 향후 효율적인 응급의료 자원 분배를 위해서는 GIS를 활용한 의사결정이 필요하며, 응급의료서비스 이용의 형평성을 증진시키기 위해서 응급의료서비스의 사각지대에 놓여있는 지역의 보건학적 특성을 고려한 정책이 시행되어야 할 것으로 사료된다.

Fire stations should be located in optimal location to act quickly in case of emergency and minimize damages as a public facility that protects life and property of local residents. Siting fire stations without regard for the accessibility and occurrence factors of an accident may provide fire service unequally. Therefore service analysis is necessary to reduce the blind spot of disaster and safety and to offer equal fire-service at this time. Especially fire stations can service more efficiently than before by reducing a more likely vulnerable area. This study suggests methods of mapping index of value that represents vulnerability of the occurrence of an accident and extracting service zone map of fire stations, as an initial research for offering efficient fire service. Geographical distribution mismatch between service zone map and vulnerability map is figured out and vulnerable area for fire service is defined by using map overlay method.

While attention has been paid to 'core information poor' with low-level information literacy, public libraries are to be social agencies to set policies, and are to provide them with cultural experiences and services as well. In this regard, this study intends to shed light on the current status of public library services for such 'information-poor' as the urban poor, the handicapped, and the aged in Busan metro area. Exploring the statistical data, observations and interviews, the study attempts to illustrate current status and trends. It, specifically, focuses on the following characteristics of information service strategies: types of services provided; infra-structure including facilities and specialized collection; and, barriers and limitation of library and information use.

This study aims to analyze the spatial accessibilities to urban greens considering the catchment areas of urban parks to improve those areas with lower spatial accessibility in the neighborhood units. Nam-gu in Daegu was selected as the study area. In the results of the analysis of 16 existing parks, Daemyung6-dong and Daemyung5-dong had high ratios of green service area to administrative district, with values of 94.4% and 92.3%, respectively. Low ratios of green service area(vulnerable area of green service) were recorded in Icheondong(1.6%) and Daemyung10-dong(24.1%). However, the ratio of Icheondong may increase by 88.6%, when the 12 unexecuted urban parks are established. The ratio of Daemyung10-dong can also increase up to 40.1% by establishing green spaces in public institutions such as government offices and schools. This study suggests possibilities to improve the spatial accessibilities to urban parks and indicates the policies required for enhancing the even distribution of green spaces.

This study analyzed the vulnerable areas to the fire service in regard to 119 safety centers, currently established in Jinju city. In this study, the district of fire was examined through the analysis of the OD cost matrix to find the transference or increase methods of the existing centers for improving the fire services. The study results demonstrate that the numbers of 119 safety centers were lacking in comparison with the areas of the administrative district in Jinju. In particular, relocation and the transference or increase of centers were required for the Cheonjeon 119 safety centers, which is the creation area of the National Industrial Complex among five 119 safety centers located in Jinju, and the fire service jurisdiction of Munsan 119 safety centers (including Banseong 119 regional unit), which is the location of a big fire risk due to the increase of population according to the development of the new town. In addition, the OD cost matrix analysis in this study reveals the fact that the time of fire service in the Jeonchon Industrial Complex, which is the significantly vulnerable area, will be reduced from 8 minutes to 3.3 minutes if the current Cheonjeon 119 safety center is moved to Gaho-dong. It indicates that the increase of safety centers in Geumsan-myeon areas, where the population has increased rapidly in recent days due to the development of the new town, is keenly needed.

This study was to investigate the differences of functional health status and medical service experience and needs between general and vulnerable older people in community. This study is a cross-sectional descriptive research. The data obtained through direct visit surveys from November to December 2016. The target population of the study was older people over 65 years old, the final study subjects were 444 older people residing in one district of Seoul. The chi-square test was conducted to confirm the difference in their functional health areas and medical service experiences, and the necessity of medical service utilization in accordance to the social class. In the experience of abnormality in functional health, the vulnerable older people had higher experience in cognitive function, nutrition, hydration, pain, and falling than the general older people. The rate of experience of using medical service to solve the cognitive function problem for general older people was 31.9%, higher than that of the vulnerable older people. In contrast, the medical service utilization needs of the vulnerable older people in the pain management category was significantly higher than that of the general older people. In setting policy of public medical service programs for general and vulnerable older people in community may be differentially developed based on this study. In order to improve the medical accessibility of the vulnerable older people, public medical institutions should be actively supported to overcome obstacles to medical use due to economic barriers.

Purpose: The study aims to demonstrate regional diagnosis methods and results combined with geographical information to expand the physical infrastructure related to community care services. To this end, the physical infrastructure for the core elements of community care was analyzed in terms of the fulfilment and access of facilities to derive the underserved elements and regions. Methods: Utilizes GIS network analysis techniques that can derive physical infrastructure service areas. Underserved elements are derived by comparing and analyzing the service area for each core element. Next, the underserved regions for each core element are derived through the overlapping of the set service area and the diagnosis population. Results: Among the physical infrastructure by core elements for community care, the housing support element was considerably weak, and the nursing care facility compared to health care was also analyzed to be weak. In addition, underserved regions by dong in Mapo-gu were deduced and presented for each diagnosed population. Implications: The discovery of underserved elements and underserved regions is meaningful as a diagnostic process that can derive the physical infrastructure that needs to be expanded urgently for the realization of community care and determine the priority projects and targets of the projects.

This study examines the mobility of the disadvantaged population groups in terms of public transportation using the 2014 smart card data in Seoul, Korea. Particularly, we focus on the disadvantaged population such as senior group, junior group, and low-income population group. Based on the spatial distributions of public transportation mobility levels and the disadvantaged population groups, we identify specific areas where public transportation service should be improved for the disadvantaged population. As a result, we identify 15 administrative-dongs where the ratio of the disadvantaged population is high while the mobility index of public transit is low. The main contributions of this study are as follows. First, we use the smart card data which contains the information of actual trip made by individuals and develop the evaluation process of urban mobility for the disadvantaged population groups. Second, we identify the specific areas where public transportation service should be improved for the different group of the disadvantaged population. Lastly, we discuss policy implications to improve the urban mobility of the disadvantaged population.
