공원녹지에 대한 도시주민의 의식분석과 정책에의 활용방안：마산.창원 연담도시권을 사례로

Abstract

A municipal government needs to develop urban policies based on the residents’ needs for agreeable urban environments and sustainable urban developments. This study offers some policy implications for developing sustainable urban developments and open space policies based on the survey of the residents’ perception toward open space. The study suggests several policy recommendations as follows. First, the residents recognize informal open spaces, such as small park nearby, small sport park, hill, campus and school garden as well as formal open spaces, such as public park or urban park as important open spaces. Therefore, the government should change the open space policies which have focused on formal open spaces under the urban planing law and the urban park law. Secondly, they recognize the roles of open spaces as residents’ emotion purification (psychologistic utility) and environment preservation. Thirdly, they have used the open spaces for psychological and emotional consolation, such as liberation from sentiment, stress relief and breading clean air rather than social purposes, such as sport, recreation, game, friendly relation, and child education. Finally, they prefer near community open spaces which are small and natural ones to remote huge ones with many artificial facilities. The possibility of citizen participation in managing open spaces is also identified.
