초록
본 연구의 목적은 기후변화 적응에 관한 지자체 공무원의 인식 특성을 분석하여 기후변화 적응대책 집행에 관한 정책적 시사점을 도출하는 데 있다. 기후변화 영향과 취약성은 지역에 따라 다르게 나타나므로 상향식 접근이 필요하다. 특히 선행연구에 의하면 정치적 리더십과 공무원의 인식이 기후변화 정책에 중요한 역할을 한다. 경기도 및 기초지자체 공무원 대상 설문조사 결과에 대한 분산분석(ANOVA)을 수행하여 기후변화 적응정책에 대한 공무원의 인지 수준과 정책지지 특성을 분석하였다. 공무원의 특성은 개인 및 조직 변수로 구분하였다. 분석 결과 적응에 대한 인지 수준은 기후변화 전반에 대한 인지 수준보다 낮았으며 적응에 대한 인지 수준과 정책지지에 교육이 중요한 차이를 나타내었다. 또한 기후변화와 담당업무 및 조직목표의 상관성 정도에 따라 적응정책에 대한 지지가 유의미한 차이를 보이고 있다. 아직까지 기후변화 적응정책에 대한 지자체의 우선순위가 높지 않은 현실을 고려할 때 우선적으로 교육과 가이드라인 제공 등을 통해 정책담당자인 지자체 공무원의 적응 역량을 높일 필요가 있다.
Abstract
This study aims to examine the characteristics of local public officials' perception on climate change adaptation and to draw some policy implications. Adaptation needs a bottom-up approach because climate impacts and vulnerability are location-specific. Climate change literature suggests that political leadership or public official's understanding plays a key role in responding to climate change. A survey was made among 324 local public officials in Gyeonggi-Do. ANOVA was used to investigate the relationship between their personal and organizational variables and the perceived support of adaptation policy. The result shows that the knowledge level of adaptation is lower than that of general climate change. Climate change education makes the important difference in their adaptation knowledge and policy support. Another important implication is that the more they perceive the relevance to their job responsibilities and organizational goal, the more they support local adaptation policy. It is concluded that, considering the priority of the adaptation policy is not high at the local level, enhancing the adaptive capacity of public officials through education and guidelines is critical.
