Abstract

This study attempted to find ways to recognize public libraries as social institutions with spatial functions to integrate generations for older adults in the face of Korea's entry into a super-aged society. In particular, the goal of this study is to find out the implications and strategies for the design of libraries and facilities for older adults. And to this end, major guidelines related to senior citizens' service spaces and facilities were analyzed to derive implications for senior citizens' services. In addition, an in-depth interview survey was conducted on elderly users with experience in using library services to identify the priorities of creating spaces and facilities for the elderly. As a result, "Open elderly service space" and "Integrated elderly service space" were proposed as a way to organize the elderly service space in public libraries.

본 연구는 우리나라가 초고령화 사회로의 진입을 앞두는 상황에서 공공도서관이 노인이용자에게 편리한 여가시설이자 세대를 통합하는 공간적 기능을 지닌 사회적 기관으로서 인식되기 위한 방안을 모색하고자 시도되었다. 특히 도서관의 공간 및 시설 설계에 대한 시사점과 전략을 찾기 위한 것이 본 연구의 목표이며, 이를 위해 해외 도서관 노인서비스 공간·시설 관련 주요 지침을 분석하여 관련 시사점을 도출하였다. 또한 도서관 서비스 이용경험이 있는 노인이용자를 대상으로 심층면담 조사를 수행하여 노인을 위한 공간·시설 조성 시의 기준과 우선순위 등을 규명하고, 그 결과 공공도서관이 노인서비스 공간을 구성하기 위한 방안으로서 '개방형 노인서비스 공간'과 '통합형 노인서비스 공간'을 제언하였다.
