Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of park type and inner elements of parks on the number of walking days of walking out of Ulsan Metropolitan City, And to make policy suggestions for them. The elderly people aged 65 and 1,274 persons or over in Ulsan Metropolitan City were selected as the subjects using the raw data of the 2015 community health survey. A multilevel analysis was conducted using a hierarchical linear model to find out the factors affecting the number of days of walking according to the level of regional level factor according to the five wards of Ulsan Metropolitan City. The number of walking days increased with the number of sports facilities and the number of walking days decreased with the number of amusement facilities mainly used by children. In the case of Jung-gu in Ulsan, the number of walking days was low even though the number of parks and the area of the park were large, In the case of Buk-gu, the number of walking was high even though the number of parks and the area of the park were small. Elderly people in Jung - gu, Ulsan metropolitan city are expected to need a health promotion project to promote walking, and it is necessary for seniors in Buk - gu, Ulsan Metropolitan City to make a good walking environment.

본 연구는 울산광역시 노인에 대해 구군별 공원 형태와 공원내부 요소들이 실외에서 얼마나 자주 나와서 걷는지에 대한 걷기 일 수에 미치는 영향을 검증하여, 울산광역시 노인 건강증진을 위한 도시개발 및 물리적 환경개선과 발전에 대한 정책적 제언을 하는 것에 목적이 있다. 지역사회건강조사 2015년 원시데이터를 이용하여 울산광역시의 65세 이상 노인 1,274명을 대상자로 선정하였다. 울산광역시 5개 구군에 따른 지역 수준 요인 변수가 걷기 일 수에 영향을 미치는 요인을 파악하기 위하여 위계적 선형 모형으로 다수준 분석을 시행하였다. 노인의 걷기 일 수에 영향을 미치는 지역 수준 요인은 체육시설이 많으면 걷기 일 수가 증가하였고, 어린이가 주로 이용하는 유희시설이 많으면 노인의 걷기 일 수가 감소하였다. 울산광역시 내에서 중구의 경우는 공원 개수와 공원 면적이 많음에도 걷기 일 수가 낮았고, 북구의 경우는 공원 개수와 공원 면적이 적음에도 걷기 일 수가 높았다. 울산광역시 중구의 노인은 걷기 촉진을 위한 건강증진 사업이 필요할 것으로 생각되며, 울산광역시 북구의 노인은 걷기 좋은 환경을 만들어주는 것이 필요할 것으로 생각된다.
