제주도내 어린이 놀이터에 대한 실태조사 = A Study of the Children's Playgrounds of Chejudo

국문 초록 (Abstract)

본 연구는 제주도내에 있는 어린이 놀이터에 대한 실태조사를 하고, 문제점을 파악하여 개선책 을 제시하고, 아동의 요구에 보다 적합한 놀이터 환경을 조성하는데 도움을 주려는 것이 목적이다.
이를 위하여 제주도내에 있는 173개 놀이터 중에서 4개지역, 87개소를 조사하여 필요한 자료를 수집 하였다.
연구 결과는 제주도내에 있는 대부분의 놀이터가 고정된 놀이기구 즉 미끄럼틀, 시소, 그네, 철봉, 지구위, 정글짐 등이 대부분이었으며, 색상도 빨강, 노랑, 초록의 획일적인 색상을 사용하 였다. 놀이기구의 재료 역시 철재가 주를 이루고 있었다.
이와 같은 놀이터 환경은 아동들이 놀이를 통한 창의성 개발에 도움을 주기에는 부적합한 환경 이다. 다양한 색상과 재료를 사용하며, 고정되어 있지 않은 놀이기구를 설치하는 것이 아동들과 건전한 심신발달에 도움을 줄 수 있을 것이다.

Plav for young children is their work and education as well as their fun it is not a joyous work but also the most essential part of their early childhood, The purpose of this study is to survey the outdoor playgrounds and play environment to explore problems and suggest a way of solution to them because children call play safely, freely, and joyfully in the proper play environment.
For this purpose, the researcher has chosen 87 out of 173 playgrounds in Chejudo. Cheju City has 116 playgrounds, Seogwiepo City has 26 ones. The northern part of the rest area has 14 playgroundsm while the southern part has 17 ones. Since the palyground of Chejudo has much similarity to one another, the reseacher has selected 30 out of 116 playgrounds of Cheju City, 26 from the Seogwiepo playgrounds, 14 from the northern part of chejudo, and 17 from the sourthern part.
The method of the survey is to visit the selected playgrounds three times and take a photograph of them for the record of the survey. The acquired results are as follows:
1. The most popular play materials for children on the playground are slide, seesaw, junglegym, swing horizontal bar, and balance beam. Only one of Seogwiepo City's playgrounds has a playhouse beside these materials. Play materials of Chejudo's playgrounds have uniformity.
2. The size, width, and height of the paly materials are for the children whose age is over 7, and unfortunately those children do not use a playground anymore because they have already reached the age for the compulsory elemetary school. The children under the age of six who tend to spend more time on the playground cannot handle these play materials. They can only play with the play materials such as seesaw, slide, and swing, which help develop children's motor ability rather than their creatlvity.
3. Most of the play materials are made of iron which is not ideal for children to play with. Few playgrounds in Cheju City have wooden materials with iron ones. Tire and rope can be very exciting for children to play with, but only a few places have these stuffs.
4. The color of the play materials is red, yellow, green, blue, and white, which is visually very strong. It will be more desirable if they paint them in Pastel color.
5. The environment of the playground is not favorable to the children who are playing. The ground has too many stones, broken glasses, and even waste gas units, etc. Some place is being used as a parking place or a dry place for farm products or for clothes and sheets. Some play materials are broken, they are too old to use. If the children play with these materials, they can easily get hurt. They are dangerous. Most playgrounds are located too close to the road which has the heavy traffic.
6. A sandbox is one of the children's favorite materials which develops their creativity, but only the southern part of Chejudo keep this material on the playgrounds.
The Adventure playground started in Denmark in 1943 by SΦrenson. The materials on this playground primarily consisted of bricks, boards, posts, concrete pillars, and tools for construction. The usual age range was from 4 to 17 for this playground.
In England, the size of the playground ranges from one-third of an acre to two and a half across. The materials are for building houses or dens and climbing structures with waste materials. Childrens can have bonfires, cook in the open, dig holes, make a garden, or just play with earth, sand, water, and clay The group of the usual age range, from 5 to 15, can participate in the activities on the playground.
This Adventure Playground has two full-time leaders who help children play and operate the fercilities on the ground, caring for the safety of the children. Children love junk, raw materials more than pre-made ones because they can create and make things with their own hands according to their ideas. Such activity gives them satisfaction ad joy, not only fulfilling their needs for achievement but aslo developing their ability to create a new thing.
Play can help a child keep healthy developing his/her physical, mental, intellectual, emotional, social, and psychological parts. The well-prepared playground can be a little heaven to children where they are playing and happy. Societies and adults are responsible for such an environment in order to help a child grow a healthy person.
