Abstract

This study determined the communicative characteristics of public libraries through locality, communality, interactivity, and organism and sought to measure the validity of their components to define the role of libraries based on the analysis. According to the analysis results, there are four communicative characteristics of public libraries: locality, communality, interactivity, and organism. This study defined the role of public libraries according to communicative characteristics. First, libraries should encourage the formation of a healthy society by providing a space for diverse community activities, contributing to the building and strengthening of their local communities, and offering the necessary information to do so. Second, libraries should contribute to the formation of local cultural communities and strengthen interpersonal relations among community members to reinforce a sense of community, while also supporting the heightening of social adaptability to foster a sense of belonging and community activity participation among members. Third, libraries act as a space for sharing ideas between generations, provide a space to carry out leisure activities, and enable the cultural prosperity of local communities. Lastly, as a representative space of local communities, libraries raise the value of the residential environment and contribute to their communities and members.

본 연구는 도서관의 지역성, 공동체성, 상호작용성 및 유기체성이라는 소통적 특성을 발굴하고, 이들을 이루는 구성요소가 타당한지 측정하고자 하였으며 연구결과를 통해 소통적 특성을 기반으로 한 공공도서관의 역할을 정립하고자 하였다. 연구결과, 최종적으로 도서관은 '지역성', '공동체성', '상호작용성', '유기체성'의 4개의 소통적 특성을 지는 것으로 나타났다. 4개의 소통적 특성은 16개 구성요소, 이에 따른 63개의 세부요소로 구분할 수 있다. 또한, 본 연구에서는 델파이 조사결과를 종합하여 소통적 특성에 따라 공공도서관의 역할을 정립하였다. 첫째, 도서관이 건강한 지역사회를 형성하는 공간으로 커뮤니티 활동을 위한 다양한 공간을 제공하고, 커뮤니티의 생성과 강화에 기여하며 이에 필요한 정보를 제공하는 역할을 한다. 둘째, 도서관은 공동체성 강화를 위해 지역의 문화공동체 형성과 대인관계 향상, 사회적응력 향상 지원을 통해 지역사회의 소속감 형성에 기여하며, 지역주민 간의 활발한 지역 활동을 지원해야 한다. 셋째, 도서관은 다양한 세대들이 의견을 공유하고, 여가활동을 위한 공간, 지역공동체의 문화 성장을 위한 공간으로 역할을 한다. 넷째, 소통적 특성으로서 도서관 유기체성은 내·외부 환경변화에 따라 도서관의 전통적인 역할과 기능인 정보전달, 정보서비스뿐만 아니라 새로운 개념이 도입되어, 확장된 서비스를 통해 이루어지는 것으로 볼 수 있다.
