생태계좌제와 연계한 도심 쪽방촌 저소득 노인 대상 폭염 피해 완화 방안: 주거 환경 개선 기금을 중심으로

Abstract

Heat waves can be fatal to the elderly, such as those living in urban Jjokbangchon (a Korean region of high poverty). The health effects and death caused by heat waves and measures to overcome these issues are a global concern. Therefore, this study aimed to propose ways to ensure financial resources for implementing policies on mitigation of heat damage to human health in urban Jjokbangchon. This study focused on securing sustainable financial resources with increased the biotope area ratio. To design a fundraising plan for improving the residential environment, an analysis of existing case studies, interviews, and literature reviews was conducted. This study found that both Germany and the United State have improved urban living conditions by encouraging investment from private companies. Also, the living conditions of the city of Daegu, South Korea, were improved with the participation of the local community. This study emphasized new forms of fundraising and transparency planning to improve the living conditions of the elderly living in poverty. Community participation played a key role in implementing and maintaining policies on residential environment improvement.
