Abstract

The diversity of urban landscapes is established by dynamic characteristics such as language, color, and their movement, which are the building environment, street patterns, and people. With the increase of foreign migrants in Korea, new guidelines are needed in terms of local community administration and land policy. Administrative, sociological, and geographical studies have been conducted on the steadily increasing number of foreign migrants since the 2000s, but it is difficult to establish for making safe and healthy communities through which different cultures and lifestyles of each country and ethnic group undergo some integration with the existing host society. There are limitations in identifying the lack of statistical data and the representation of a minority proportion of foreign residents. In order to analyze the core elements of the integrated strategy of the local community, the residential behavior and spatial characteristics of foreign migrants must first be identified.

도시 경관의 다양성은 건축물과 가로패턴, 그리고 사람들의 인문적 특성 이른바 언어와 색과 움직임 등의 동태적 특성에 의해 정립된다. 한국의 해외이주민의 증가와 함께 지역사회의 행정과 국토정책상 새로운 지침이 필요하다. 2000년대 이후 꾸준히 증가하는 외국인 이주민에 대해 행정, 사회학적, 그리고 지리적 연구가 이루어지고 있지만, 각 국가별 민족별 상이한 문화와 생활양식이 기존 주류사회와 어떠한 통합 과정을 거치고 안전하고 건강한 공간성을 구축할 수 있는지에 대한 정밀한 실험은 미흡한 상황이다. 통계적 데이터의 결핍된 부분과 소수 비율의 외국인 거주자에 대한 대표성을 파악하기에 한계가 있다. 지역사회의 통합적 전략에 대한 핵심요소를 지표화하기 위해서 외국인 이주자들의 거주지 행태와 공간적 특성이 우선 파악되어야 한다. 통계적으로 계량화하기 어려운 소수의 공동체에 관한 공간적 요소를 분석을 위해 경관적 접근을 실험해보고자 한다.
