Abstract

The objectives of this study are to identify specialization themes for three new libraries to be established in Suwon City and to propose appropriate programs based on these themes. The study analyzed the demographic and regional characteristics of the planned library locations and conducted focus group interviews with Suwon library officials and external experts. Based on these, specialization themes were derived for each library and corresponding programs were proposed. As a result, the specialization themes were identified as 'Entrepreneurship and Artificial Intelligence' for Imok Library, 'Ecology (Animals and Plants)' for Geumgok Library, and 'Digital' for the Maetan Library Complex. The proposed programs include 'Startup support for prospective entrepreneurs', 'Writing with ChatGPT' for Imok Library, 'Reading with Pets', 'Animal-Assisted Therapy Programs', 'Making Companion Plants' for Geumgok Library, and 'Cybersecurity and Copyright' and 'IT Education by Target Group' for the Maetan Library Complex.

본 연구의 목적은 수원시에서 신규 건립 예정인 도서관 세 곳의 특성화 주제를 설정하고, 이에 기반한 적정 프로그램을 제안하는데 있다. 이를 위해 신규 도서관이 들어설 지역의 인구와 지역 여건을 분석하고, 수원시 도서관 관계자와 외부 전문가를 대상으로 포커스 그룹 인터뷰(FGI)를 실시하였다. 이를 바탕으로, 각 도서관별 특성화 주제를 도출하고, 해당 주제에 부합하는 프로그램을 제안하였다. 연구 결과, 이목도서관의 경우 '창업 및 인공지능(AI)', 금곡도서관은 '생태(동물, 식물)', 매탄도서복합시설은 '디지털'로 선정되었다. 또한 제안된 프로그램으로는 이목도서관은 '(예비 창업자를 위한) Start 창업', 'ChatGPT로 글쓰기', 금곡도서관은 '반려동물과 함께 책읽기', '동물 매개 치료 프로그램', '반려 식물 만들기', 매탄도서복합시설은 '사이버 보안과 저작권', '대상별 IT 교육' 등이 포함되었다.
