A Study on the Assessment of Projects based on Safety Design Principles -Focused on strategic projects on Public Design Promotion Plan of Songpagu-

Abstract

(Background and Purpose) Safety in perspective of public design is an important element to make sustainable urban environment with the design of daily lives. Considering it is impossible to secure safety in the state with nothing by composing urban space that has no problem when urban environment, function, forms, people and actions meet, safety design in the urban environment should be applied and practiced to complement it. This study is to analyze and contemplate about the direction of safety design in practice-focused promotion plan. (Method) This study has chosen its range as Public Design Promotion Plan of Songpagu, Seoul, and tried to grasp the content of safety design projects and analyze them, judging that basic local governments' plans have a certain level of concreteness in presented strategic projects, since they are focused on practice plan to be applied in actual urban environment. This study selected pulic design promotion plan of Songpagu, Seoul. For the methods of study, firstly, safety design was theoretical considered and case-studied. Secondly, this study case-studied assessment index of public design project by seeing strategic projects. Thirdly, this study classified and extracted safety design-related projects out of public design promotion plan project, presented by Songpagu. Lastly, this study is to analyze and contemplate about the direction of safety design, regarding to the strategic projects related with those extracted safety designs. (Result) Among 19 public design promotion plans of Songpagu, there are 9 strategic projects related with safety design, where those concerning vulnerable class took the highest proportion. In addition to that, although public facilities, public space, and improvement of public space in visual image have been presented with the highest proportion to improve safety, it has been analyzed that improvement of visual image can enhance efficiency and enforcement through the table of Spider Diagram Analysis. (Conclusion) Strategic projects should be considered to enhance safety of residents by improving visual images. In addition to that, it should not stop at taking strategies in safety-related design projects but measures to collaborate with other departments to embody it to put those projects into practice effectively, because they can get the connection among those projects only when prior backgrounds to be improved are contained in the promotion plan in vulnerable areas. Regulation revisions and guidelines are be considered afterward, and it is expected to take the public design promotion plan that is able to plan safe urban environment in the district, by studying measures on concrete and practicable safety design-related strategic projects as well as consistent studies about safety design and its applications done by other local governments.
