주거환경만족도와 주거이동의향 실증분석 : 내포신도시 인접도시를 중심으로

Abstract

There is ongoing concern that Naepo newtown having been constructed for balanced regional growth could make the centers of Hongsung and Yesan vacant. Thus, this study analyzes the residents’ satisfaction of residential environment and intention to move to Naepo, and suggests policy implications for improvement of residential environments. The empirical results can be summarized as follow. The degree to which residents are satisfied with residential conditions is measured as 3.16 out of 5 points and affected obviously by a convenient facility and job-related factor. According to the results on intention to migrate to Naepo, 26.0% of respondents wanted to move and the most influential factors for migration were summarized as (i) convenient facilities and job, (ii) safety and cleanliness, and (iii) disaster. Thus, dissatisfaction with respect to physical, psychological, and safety perspectives works as a key reason for residents to leave. It is expected to be deepened after COVID-19. Especially, people who are in their thirties or forties or college-educated, work in government offices, white-collar or professional jobs, or have higher income are more likely to move to Naepo. That is, relatively young and elite people tend to leave, and thus the area would lose its vitality. In order to improve residential environments with help of local government which is unfortunately limited in finance, it is necessary to link the central government’s project of supplying living SOC. In addition, it is required to supply living SOC which is multi-purposed with various functions because both population and the demand are decreasing in rural areas.
