공공도서관의 복합화 유형별 특성에 관한 연구

Abstract

As a cultural complex, today's public libraries include a variety of cultural programs. Along with the flow and changes of the times, a public library changed from a material-centric library to a users-centric one, accepting a diversity of cultural functions as well as the functions of collecting and opening materials. As a result, a public library expands its roles to a community facility. Additionally, a variety of mixed uses, such as display, watching a video, participating in a cultural program, and leisure, occur in a public library. As such, since a public library changed to a place including pluralistic culture, much research on complexation of a public library has been conducted. However, they often focused on complexation of simple cultural programs. Therefore, this work analyzed the trend of public libraries that have more than one functions except for the spatial component described in 'Manual of Establishment and Operation of Public Libraries' and have complexation in the equal position with a library, and thereby drew complexation libraries and classified the complexation types of the libraries. This researcher conducted literature study to look into the definition of complexation and analyzed the complexation state of 57 study objects in Korea to investigate their general characteristics, the combination structure of the facilities mixed with libraries and the association with the facilities. Based on the analysis, this work looked into the types of domestic public libraries and combination characteristics of facilities.
