본 연구는 이용자참여를 통한 도시농업공원의 운영관리방향에 관한 연구이다. 공공성과 텃밭, 정원에 대한 개념정리를 통해 도시농업공원의 주제정원으로서 ‘텃밭정원’의 도입을 가정하였다. 이에 대하여 도시공원 이용자와 전문가를 대상으로 설문조사를 하여 각 집단의 선호 인식을 분석한 결과를 바탕으로 도시농업공원의 텃밭정원의 운영관리방향을 제안하는 데 목적이 있다. 텃밭정원을 위한 도시농업공원의 입지조건은 도심 내 평지 공원으로 집으로부터 걸어서 10분 이내, 500m~1km이내 이다. 텃밭정원의 취미활동은 텃밭농사, 꽃가꾸기, 휴식이며, 설치물은 식물재료와 이동식 시설이다. 조성비용은 참여자 개인부담과 지자체의 지원비로 확보한다. 임대면적은 16~33㎡이고, 임대기간은 2년이며 1회 연장할 수 있으며, 연간 임대료는 5만원이다. 임대구획은 일괄적으로 부여된 번호순으로 배정하며, 다수임대는 연속된 구획으로 최대 2구획이다. 텃밭정원은 이벤트 시 공공에게 개방하며, 텃밭정원 참여자는 텃밭정원 교육을 통해 텃밭정원의 조성 및 운영관리에 필요한 역량을 확보하고, 도시농업공원의 관리활동에 참여할 수 있다. 주민참여 텃밭정원은 공원시설부지면적에 산입하지 않는다.

This study intended for Cheongryongsan Community Garden in Gwanak-gu, one of the demonstration places for 'Community Garden' Project recently implemented by the Seoul Government. This study had two major purposes: investigating the current status of the management and usage and identifying its characteristics; investigating users' awareness to consider the construction and operation directions of sustainable community gardens. This study was conducted based on several surveys such as an investigation into the spatial configuration and the management system of parks through a field study, a use survey through a questionnaire survey for vegetable garden users and an awareness survey about the construction direction of gardens direction preferred by users through the analytical hierarchy process (AHP). As a result of a questionnaire survey for vegetable garden users, the usage status was summarized as follows: Considering the common trends in the 2012 and the 2013 user survey, women used Cheongryongsan Vegetable Garden more than men. Over fifties used it most of all users. Users were mostly neighborhood residents. They used to visit there three to five times a week and stayed for about 30 minutes to one hour. Users differently responded to the question related to the order of priority for the use of the garden in the 2012 and the 2013 survey. They had increasingly used it for individuals' production activities more than social exchanges. As a result of making an AHP analysis for general park users, vegetable garden users there were clear differences in the targets which each subject put emphasis on in relation to the construction and operation of vegetable gardens. General park users recognized a vegetable garden as a park where park functions and the functions of the vegetable garden coexisted. On the other hand, vegetable garden users viewed it as a space where they attached importance to the functions of the vegetable garden like an allotment. Last, this study contemplated subjects related to the construction and operation of vegetable gardens which had to be considered in the future. Vegetable gardens tended to be biased as personal hobby places. It was viewed that the main reason was insufficient support activities for vegetable garden education and exchange programs originally planned when vegetable gardens had been constructed. Vegetable garden users recognized vegetable gardens as places for individuals' farming activities like allotments. For the desirable operation of vegetable gardens, it would be necessary to give priority to the park management before the production activities in individuals' vegetable gardens. The important role of the government would be to build the base through the provision of education and opportunities so that a local resident organization could actively participate in the management of a vegetable garden after a vegetable garden was constructed. It would be necessary to make a use survey and an awareness survey for users conducted in this study on a regular basis because the surveys could be important basic data in the decision-making process for the sustainable operations of the vegetable garden.
