본 연구는 도시경관향상을 위한 기본 정보를 제공하기 위하여 경산시를 대상으로 시민인식을 분석하는데 목적을 두었 다. 설문 구성은 크게 2부분으로 구성되었다. 첫째, 경산시 응답자의 일반적인 사항으로 성별, 연령, 거주기간 등에 관한 3개 문항으로 이루어졌다. 둘째, 경관 인식에 관한 설문으로는 경관이 과거보다 좋아진 이유 또는 나빠진 이유, 경관의 개선방안에 관한 3개 문항으로 구성되었다. 경산시의 경관이 좋아진 이유로는 ‘하천이 정비되어서’가 24.3%로 가장 높 았고, ‘도심가로가 정비되어서’가 22%로 다음으로 빈도가 높았다. 경산시의 경관이 나빠진 이유로는 ‘도심가로가 복잡 하게 되어서’가 25.4%로 가장 많았고, 다음으로는 ‘고층건물 및 아파트 건설’ 17.3%의 빈도로 나타났다. 시민들은 경관 을 개선하기 위해서는 우선‘하천 등을 정비(26.8%)’하고, ‘가로수 및 간판 정비 등 가로경관 개선(21.8%)’을 우선적 개 선 방안으로 생각하고 있는 것을 알 수 있었다. 이 연구결과, 행정중심의 하천 및 도심가로 정비가 도시경관향상에 많은 영향을 미치고 있음을 알 수 있다. 또한 더 많은 공원녹지 조성, 기존 공원 및 광장 정비, 산림보호 강화 등과 같이 도시의 녹지가 도시경관향상과 깊은 관계성을 가지고 있음을 이 연구결과에서 시사하고 있다.

This study aimed to investigate educational, social, and environmental effects of city parks on the citizens of Anyang, South Korea. The study conducted a questionnaire survey for 30 days on a sample of 1,080 Anyang residents. Parks can be used for different purposes that have benefits like improving the appeal of the local environment as well as promoting health. The respondents highlighted preferred activities including participating in events, learning eco-practices at school, volunteering, and collaborating with the government to enforce environmental quality laws. The identified effects of parks on citizens according to this study were the benefits obtained from parks in the city, the improvement of their quality of life, and enhancing the environmental quality and sustainability. The study also undertook a correlational analysis to establish the relationship between the citizens’ experience in the park and the level of satisfaction they demonstrated in the study for continuity purposes. The data collected was divided into 2 data forms entailed in a comparative analysis chart for the city’s 12 parks at different times of the day, and a clustered analysis using 4 data clusters grouped based on the profiles of survey responders. The study concluded that the educational, social, and environmental effects of the parks are significant, suggesting an array of programs that can be used to enhance urban redevelopment and showed the role of parks in environmental awareness for cities in the future.

This study was designed to identify citizens’ awareness and satisfaction of Green Roof Projects (GRPs) in Changwon City, South Korea. Changwon City implemented a “Green Roof Promotion Planning” project according to the city’s codes and regulations from 2009 to 2011. The project introduced guidelines for ecological area rates and provided financial subsidies for the green roofing of private buildings. A citizens’ survey shows that 64.8 percent of respondents have a positive awareness of GRPs and think the projects’ priority should be on public buildings and commercial/office buildings. About 43.1 percent of green roof users were satisfied with green roofing in terms of housing improvement and energy saving. However, 34.6 percent of green roof users were not satisfied with regard to plant management. Educational level made a statistically meaningful difference in terms of the awareness of the project’s needs and participatory spirit. Statistics of the survey showed that citizens’ attitude of participation spirit was influenced by the increase in value of a building, green space expansion, and ecosystem conservation. However, their satisfaction was determined by housing improvements. The results of this survey call for a deliberate policy effort on the part of Changwon City to increase the projects’awareness, satisfaction, and participation

The purpose of this study was to investigate the awareness of Daegu citizens on urban agriculture. A questionnaire was conducted for 15 days from May 9, to May 25, 2015, and a sample group consisting of 328 residents of Daegu. The cognitions of awareness to effects and preferences of urban agriculture were analyzed. The cognition level of urban agriculture is in a very low state, the level of satisfaction in experienced groups were high. In addition, intentions of participation in the future were very high. The potential capability of urban agriculture is very strong. In motivation and purpose of urban agriculture activities, such as ‘Hobby and leisure activities’, ‘Safe food production’ were shown as high frequency. In cognition towards the effects of urban agricultural activity, ‘Safe agricultural products’, and ‘Change in dietary life’ were shown to be in high points of agreement. Furthermore, in preferences of the type and activities, ‘Rooftop garden’, ‘Learning/education type home garden’, ‘Home garden utilizing the pieces of small land’, ‘Box home garden’, and ‘Personal weekend farm’ were shown to be highly preferred types. Within the effects of urban agriculture, 4 factors were categorized; ‘Negative effects of urban agriculture’, ‘Positive effects of urban agriculture’, ‘Environmental Improving effects’, and ‘Benefits effects’. In addition, 3 factors are prevalent in type and activities of urban agriculture, ‘Participations of experiencing/education programs’, ‘Cultivation of rental home gardens’, and ‘Lifestyle home garden type’. Conclusively, although the situation of urban agriculture is in the beginning stages, the potential capability of urban agriculture is great. In the future, diverse types of hardware and software programs, such as diverse education/experiencing programs and information supporting programs, will both be required for development
