거주민의 동네 영역 인지와 가로 특성 간의 관계 : 충남 아산시 온양동을 중심으로

Abstract

Purpose: The size and concept of community has changed for decades of urbanization and the rapid change of technology. The concept of neighborhood has also been vague as a result, and the neighborhood territory should be redefined reflecting the time and area of the society. This study was conducted to investigate the physical and social elements that affect the concept of neighborhood. Method: A sample of the residents’ area cognition map of neighborhood territory was surveyed in Onyang, A-san in South Korea. The land use and environments of the area as well as the following physical conditions were investigated; surrounding conditions and levels of the selected three east-west streets divided into six areas were investigated. Result: Analysis revealed that streets generally play as boundaries rather than territories, however, accessibility across the street, commercial facilities along the street, and some features such as mega-stores or cultural/sports facilities blurred the boundary and residents included the street as part of territory. This study confirmed findings from previous researches on urban territory and boundary, and can be introduced as the base information for future studies on neighborhood territory and eventually propose socially sustainable environments of urban planning and architecture.
