초록

(Background and Purpose) Low birthrates are becoming a social problem today due to various factors, including the increase in dual-income families, women's social advancement and increased child care costs. Therefore, this study aims to identify the composition and characteristics of child care space through theoretical consideration and analyze the characteristics of child care space through the case study of workplace daycare centers and to use it as basic data for planning quality child care space of workplace daycare centers. (Method) This study analyzed four child care facilities in the workplace of 400㎡ or more, opened since 2010, mainly in Seoul. A checklist was drawn on the spatial characteristics of the child care space analyzed in the preceding study, and the spatial characteristics of the workplace care facility were identified through a case study. (Results) Through theoretical consideration, the main nursery spaces were divided into nursery rooms, playrooms and toilets. Most workplace day care centers were being used on a one-story scale in the workplace. Through the analysis and re-organization of preceding studies, the nursery space derived four things: applicability, accessibility, safety and comfort. According to the characteristics of the nursery space, nursery room were found to be high comfort and low safety. The playroom showed high comfort, low applicability and safety. The toilet showed high comfort and low applicability. Looking at the entire nursery space, the comfort was high, and the applicability and safety were low. (Conclusions) The results of the case analysis showed comfort, accessibility, applicability and safety in order. Almost all cases provided regular hygiene control and a pleasant nursery atmosphere. However, in terms of safety, it was found that the corners of furniture were not rounded or the use of safety devices and protectors in the windows was insufficient. It was found that the characteristics to be supported by each functional characteristic of the nursery space are partly different, and nursery rooms should enhance the safety and accessibility of the space, and playrooms should be placed as spaces that enhance the physical and motor development of the child, thereby promoting the development of the small and medium muscles of the child. According to the survey, due to the limited nature of work buildings, indoor child care environment conditions such as the size of nursery or playroom and outdoor child care environment such as sand play and outdoor playgrounds were not provided properly. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a qualitative child care environment by supplementing these problems in the child care environment.
