Since 1996, the Health Promotion Programme spearheaded by the Korean Central Government has been actively developing and recently, the Healthy City Project led by the local autonomous entities have also been actively promoted. Healthy City is one in which the health and well-being of the citizens are given the utmost importance in the decision-making of the city. While the Health Promotion Programme focuses on changing the "health behavior" of the people, the Healthy City Project, a policy to improve the existing inequality of public health services, deals with more essential health factors and requires political support as well as a new organization. The Healthy City paradigm based on the New Public Health started in England and ever since the Healthy City Model Project spearheaded by the EURO WHO began in 1986, the Alliance for Healthy Cities centered in the West Pacific region supported by the WHO in Oct 2003 was inaugurated. 19 Korean cities are full members of the Alliance for Healthy Cities and 2 laboratories are associate members. The Ministry of Health and Welfare has held the Healthy City Forum consisting of related officials, experts and representatives of civic bodies on 6 occasions since Dec 2005. The need for adequate administrative and financial support from the Central Government to the local autonomous entities governing the Healthy Cities was raised. It is hoped that this Healthy City Project will bring about the improved health conditions of the people as well as promote the equality of the public health services.

본 연구의 목적은 원주 건강도시사업을 평가하여 문제점을 확인하고 건강도시사업의 원칙과 전략에 근거하여 사업을 발전시키고자 하는데 있다. 연구를 위하여 건강도시연맹에서 개발한 과정평가 도구인 SPIRIT Checklist를 사용하였다. 평가팀은 39개의 관련문서를 분석, 평가하고 건강도시사업 담당자, 관련부서 담당자, 자문위원과의 회의를 통해 평가 결과에 대한 의견수렴을 실시하였고 최종적으로는 AFHC의 SPIRIT평가 전문가와의 연석회의를 통하여 분석 결과를 검증하였다. 원주시의 건강도시사업을 평가한 결과 강력한 정치적 지원에 근거하여 지속적인 건강도시사업을 가능하게 하는 자원, 중기사업계획, 인프라, 협력적 조직, 건강도시네트워크 등이 갖추어져 있는 것을 확인하였고, 건강증진 전략을 적용한 사업의 보완 및 개선이 필요한 것으로 나타났다. 건강도시사업의 과정평가를 위해 개발된 SPIRIT 체크리스트는 질적 평가도구로서, 향후 건강도시간의 비교를 위하여 질적 평가방법에 기초한 양적 평가 지표를 추가할 필요가 있다.
