본 연구는 빅데이터 분석 기법을 활용하여 COVID-19전·후의 도시공원의 이용행태를 파악하고자 하였다. 연구의 결과를 요약하면, COVID-19와 공원이용행태는 접근성이라는 물리적 요인이 큰 영향을 미친다는 것을 알 수 있다. 다음으로 COVID-19 이전의 공원이용행태는 다양한 행태가 나타났지만, COVID-19 이후에는 행태의 종류가 줄어들고 공원 이용의 제한으로 인한 스트레스, 우울과 같은 부정적인 심리적 표현이 나타나 공원이용 제약이 시민들의 여가활동에 큰 영향을 미치는 것을 알 수 있다. 또한, 2021년에는 COVID-19 이전과 같이 적극적인 활동을 수반하는 행태는 나타나지 않지만 드라이브, 차박 등 제약적인 환경을 개선하여 공원을 이용할 수 있는 새로운 이용행태가 나타나며 점점 적극적인 활동을 수반하는 행태가 나타나고 있다. 본 연구는 COVID-19 이전에는 별다른 제약 없이 공원을 이용하던 시민들에게 어떠한 행태변화가 일어나고 있는지, 또한, 사회적 거리두기 등 COVID-19 감염의 확산을 완화하기 위한 제약에 어떠한 방법으로 공원을 이용하는지 알아보는데 의의가 있다. 향후 공원 이용자를 대상으로 심층면담 등을 실시하여 질적 연구가 진행된다면 도시민들에게 공원이 어떠한 의미를 가지고 있는 공간인지, 장기화되는 COVID-19 시대에 공원이 필요로 하는 요구가 무엇인지 심도있게 탐색하는데 도움이 될 것이다.
본 연구는 서울시가 산업 유산을 공원화한 도시재생공원인 문화비축기지의 이용특성을 파악하였다. 분석한 문화비축기지의 인식 및 이용행태의 특성은 다음과 같다. 첫째, 기존 폐산업시설의 모습과 재해석된 건축물을 통해 시각적 매력을 느껴 독특한 정서적 의미를 부여하고 애착을 형성 하고 있다. 둘째, 사람들은 문화비축기지를 도시공원보다는 다양한 문화활동이 이루어지는 광장으로 인식하고 있다. 셋째, 문화비축기지의 공간의 규모에 비해 휴게 공간이 부족하다. 이와 같이 문화비축기지가 가지고 있는 물리적 환경에 매력을 느끼면서도 다양한 경험 및 행태를 지원하기 위한 쾌적한 환경을 제공하지 않고 있어 문화비축기지에서 도시공원으로서의 목적, 욕구를 충족 하는데 불리한 것으로 나타났다. 서울시의 도시재생공원 중 하나인 문화비축기지는 ‘문화·예 술’, ‘교육’ 등의 문화적 도구를 매개로 문화 공원이 조성되었다. 그러나 ‘문화’가 지나치게 강조되고, 휴게 공간 부족 등 공간의 활용도가 낮아 효율적이고 합리적으로 운영하기 위한 활용방안과 공간계획이 필요하다. 문화비축기지의 이용특성을 파악하고 만족에 영향을 미치는 요인을 제시함으로써 향후 문화비축기지가 문화와 역사를 지니고 있는 도시공원이자 지역사회의 중심 공간으로 발전할 수 있기를 기대한다.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the concentration of airborne particulate matter and heavy metals in the houses of the respiratory tract disease patients and a control group of residents in the city of Gwangyang. The particulate matter was measured using a mini-volume air sampler and then weighed three times using a micro balance to calculate the weighted average value. The heavy metals in the particulate matter were extracted using a hot plate and analyzed using an inductively coupled plasma/mass spectrometer. The average concentration of particulate matter in the outdoor air (34.478 μm/m3) was higher than that in the indoor air (16.794 μm/m3), showing a statistically significant difference (p<0.001). The average concentration of copper, manganese and chromium in the indoor and outdoor air were higher in the houses of those in the study group than those of the control group. In addition, there was a generally high correlation between particulate matter in the outdoor air and heavy metals in the indoor and outdoor air concentration (p<0.05).
In this study, this researcher measured the indoor concentration of radon in elementary schools located in Chungcheongnamdo, and conducted a questionnaire survey from June 2008 to June 2011. Indoor radon densities of elementary schools by season were 86.4 Bq/m3 in winter, 71.2 Bq/m3 in fall, 61.1 Bq/m3 in spring, and 40.5 Bq/ m3 in summer in order. Among flooring materials by construction material, the radon level of concrete was 57.8 Bq/ m3, and cement was 71.5 Bq/m3. For exterior wall materials, it was established that the density of cement, concrete, wood, and soil was 102.9 Bq/m3, 64.4 Bq/m3, 51.0 Bq/m3, and 48.7 Bq/m3, respectively. In addition, for radon densities according to distances between a detector and floors, 150 cm and under was recorded at 99.3 Bq/m3, 151 to 200 cm was recorded at 62.6 Bq/m3, and 201 cm and more was recorded at 59.2 Bq/m3 sequentially. From the results of analyzing correlations between radon concentrations and factors affecting the indoor radon concentrations in elementary schools, it was discovered that the nearer the distances to floors were and the older the construction was(r = 0.300), the higher were indoor radon concentrations. With regard to factors influencing the indoor radon concentrations in elementary schools, derived from multiple regression analysis, it was revealed that distances from floors has the greatest influence(β = 0.354, p < 0.05). And it was determined that the construction year was also a factor contributing to indoor radon levels. This had an explanation power of 27.9%.
Indoor pollutants seem to have a negative affect on people from vulnerable households who are considered to be weak by the department of environmental health, such as the elderly, infants, children, patients, and pregnant women. In this study, the concentrations of pollutants were measured, especially those pollutants that endanger vulnerable households such as PM10, HCHO, TVOCs, TBC and fungi. The measurements were taken from September to October of 2013 in the Chungnam area. The results were as follows: PM10 33.2 μg/m3, HCHO 20.35 μg/m3, VOCs 132.30 μg/m3, TBC 562.71 CFU/m3 and fungi 362.04 CFU/m3. In the case of TBC and fungi, there were excessive concentrations at 30.9% and 49.3% compared to the standards set by WHO. In the case of fungi, buildings built before the 1980s showed a concentration of 446.23 CFU/m3, those built in the 1980s and 1990s had a concentration of 320.21 CFU/m3 and those built in the 2000s had a concentration of 313.43 CFU/ m3 indicating that fungi concentration was higher when the building was older. The correlation analysis between indoor air pollutants and factors affecting indoor concentrations indicate that HCHO (r = 0.423), TVOCs (r = 0.329), and humidity (r = 0.359) showed a significant difference (p < 0.01). The current study focused on vulnerable households that were unable to protect themselves from indoor pollutants and where poor living circumstances prevailed such as households that do not receive much sunlight; thus, more attention and focus needs to be given to these particular households
In this study, the concentration distribution of radon, we analyzed from 55 house, 37 government office, 54 schoolfrom June 2008-June 2011 in Chungnam area. From the result of surveying indoor radon degree of 146 facilities,the annual average geometric concentration of indoor radon was 69.4Bq/m³, 40.5Bq/m³, 51.4Bq/m³ in house,government office, school respectively. As for distribution of concentration based on seasons, the radonconcentration showed the highest concentration in winter in all facilities. According to the result of the analysisby dividing the construction year, into before 60s, 60-70s, 80-90s and 2000s, the radon concentration was lowerin all the newly constructed facilities. As for difference in radon concentration due to the presence or absence ofbasement, concentration of house, government office and schools having basement was 52.2Bq/m³, 44.5Bq/m³,36.4Bq/m³ that of having no basement was 75.2Bq/m³, 53.6Bq/m³, 67.4Bq/m³ respectively. Place having nobasement tend to show higher concentration.
In this study, the characteristic of the facilities and indoor environment for the senior citizens nursing facilities of Kyeonggki and Seoul-total 30 facilities;10 facilities in Seoul and 20 facilities in Kyeonggki from January to December in 2007. In the result of surveying indoor and outdoor pollution degree of 30 senior citizens nursing facilities, the average geometric concentration of indoor and outdoor TVOCs were 264.11 ㎍/㎥ and 162.63 ㎍/㎥, respectively. On the other hand, the average geometric concentration of indoor and outdoor HCHO were 22.76 ㎍/㎥ and 9.55 ㎍/㎥, respectively. The concentration ratio of indoor and outdoor air pollutants were 1.21, 1.23, 1.62 and 2.38 for benzene, toluene, TVOCs and HCHO, respectively. The concentrations of toluene, TVOCs and HCHO were 31.40 ㎍/㎥, 274.30 ㎍/㎥ and 24.17 ㎍/㎥ in the building constructed after 2000. On the other hand, The concentrations of toluene, TVOCs and HCHO were 27.99 ㎍/㎥, 248.54 ㎍/㎥ and 20.48 ㎍/㎥ in the building constructed before 2000. As the constructed year was not late, low concentration was indicated. In the facilities using carpet or not, the concentration of toluene, TVOCs and HCHO were 50.50 ㎍/㎥, 342.73 ㎍/㎥ and 32.94 ㎍/㎥, respectively, in the facilities using carpet. On the other hand, the concentration of toluene, TVOCs and HCHO were 29.35 ㎍/㎥, 261.41 ㎍/㎥ and 22.40 ㎍/㎥, respectively, in the facilities using no carpet. The concentrations were presented higher in the facilities where carpet exits.
