본 연구는 일개 광역시내 놀이터의 안전실태를 파
악하기 위해 실시된 단면조사 연구이다. 조사는 2004
년 7월 21일부터 2주간 무작위표본추출을 통해 161
개의 유치원, 초등학교, 아파트와 어린이 놀이공원의
놀이터를 대상으로 놀이터와 5가지 다빈도이용 놀이
기구에 대한 안전실태를 조사하기 위하여 훈련된 의
과대학생이 구조화된 조사표를 이용하여 직접 방문조
사하였다.
조사대상기관은 총 161개로써 유치원 23개, 초등
학교 31개, 아파트 74개, 어린이 공원 33개였다. 설립
년도별 조사대상기관의 분포는 유치원은 1990년대,
초등학교는 1969년 이전, 아파트는 1990년대, 그리
고 어린이 공원은 1980년대에 설립된 것이 가장 많았
다. 미끄럼틀이 가장 많이 설치되었으며 철봉이 가장
적게 설치되었다.

Objectives : This study was done to assess the safety of playgrounds and their equipment in the kindergartens, elementary schools, apartments and amusement parks of a metropolitan city.
Methods : We investigated 161 playgrounds from July 21 to August 4, 2004. The playground equipment we investigated in this study consisted of swings, slides, seesaws, iron rods and climbers. We used the safety criteria that was were developed on the bases of the Handbook for Public Playground Safety, the Korean Industrial Standards for Playground Equipments, a source book for designing playground equipment and so on. We divided the safety criteria of the playground equipments into designing and maintenance factors.
Results : For the general safety of the playgrounds, the proportion of all playgrounds that didn’t meet the safety criteria was 50.4% for the ’spacing interval’, 31.1% for ’dangerous hardware’ and 26.7% for ’surfacing protective material’. 69.6% of all playgrounds had a traffic lane around the playground. For the design factor of the swings, the proportion of playgrounds that didn’t meet the safety criteria were high for the line materials(97.8%), chain rings(92.9%), surfacing protective material(80.7%) and the distance from the ground to the footing(67.6%). For the slides, the height of the balustrade(92.6%), the materials(89.5%) and the height of the upper portion(79.6%) were the high risk factors. For the seesaws, the chairs(75.2%) were a high risk factor. For the iron rods, their length(72.4%), height(76.7%) and circumference(66.7%) were high risk factors. For the climbers, their height(82.4%) was a high risk factor. For the playground maintenance, rust on all the equipments and old paint for the iron rod and climber were problems.
Conclusions : The results of this survey suggest that much of the playground equipment didn’t meet the safety criteria, and the children using these playgrounds were at a high risk for child accidents such as falls. Therefore, safety standards for the playground equipments should be developed and the existing equipments should be investigated and repaired immediately.
