공공도서관 건립 운영 매뉴얼 내 공공도서관 통합디자인의 이용자 중심 디자인 반영 분석 연구

Abstract

This study examines the transition from material-focused to user-oriented approaches in public libraries and analyzes the corresponding spatial requirements. It explores user-oriented design concepts and identifies three key categories: user-oriented spatial organization, user participation and preferences, and the library's relationship with the local community and urban environment. The study evaluates the Integrated Design of Public Libraries in the 2022 Manual for Comprehensive Planning of Libraries (MCMPL) guideline. Key findings include: 1) Partial consideration of user-oriented spatial organization and elements in task performance planning and the library's spatial layout, highlighting the need for new spatial configurations prioritizing user-oriented design. 2) Partial integration of user participation and preference surveys into the spatial organization and planning, but overlooking them in task performance planning, emphasizing the importance of incorporating diverse user opinions. 3) The connection between public libraries, the local community, and the urban environment was briefly mentioned in spatial organization, but it lacked sufficient emphasis. Progress towards concrete image construction is demonstrated through Library Identity (LI) but, there is a predominant focus on individual libraries, indicating the importance of collaboration with other institutions and the local community. This study contributes to the application of user-oriented design in public libraries, emphasizing the need for improved spatial configurations, increased user participation, and stronger connections between libraries and their urban environments. The findings provide valuable insights to enhance the user experience, inform future design practices, and bridge the gap between user-oriented design principles and the existing manual.
