1950년대 『새벗』에 나타난 아동의 놀 권리 고찰

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to examine how children's perception of their right to play was in the text published in the children's magazine "Seabut" before and after 1957, when the <Korea Children's Charter> was declared. Through this, two facts were conclusive in this paper. Starting the declaration of the 'Korean Children's Charter' in 1957, it can be seen that works dealing with the problem of children's right to play appears in "Seabut." Back then, children were exposed to various risks because they cannot play with equipment or cannot secure a safe play area even if they want to play. The environment to foster play was absent. Therefore, the academic work published during this period were urging social awareness of the lack of play areas and securing safety. Second, children seek to secure a lack of play space with an independent attitude and reveal various play desires with their peers. Children independently participate in various play activities such as "playing house," "Sledding," "Skating," "Singing," "Hide and Seek," "Talking," "Swimming," and "Fishing," and communicate with others. As such, the text published during this period is significant as it discusses the importance of children's right to play and emphasizes the need to provide playgrounds and facilities so that children can play safely and joyfully.
