| Abstract |
Public libraries should be used as teenagers' learning and recreation space. There is a need for educational facilities that teenagers can easily use after school. The learning space for adolescents in public libraries requires various forms of planning. The purpose of this study is to analyze the characteristics of the indoor space of public libraries' reading rooms where teenagers can do learning and recreation activities. Basic resources for planning public libraries will be provided through a survey. The targets of the survey are limited in Seoul and Gyeonggi areas. The characteristics of the indoor space such as space planning, colors and material design are analyzed by case. With a survey, satisfaction levels and preference for public libraries are researched. The results of this study are as follows. 1)The connection between the reading room and the data room is insufficient. 2)There is no discrimination in the design of each public library. 3)There was a difference between elementary school students and middle-high school students in the overall public library use and preference of learning space, which indicates the difference of each age in the use of reference room. Therefore, it is necessary to plan separate space for each age among teenagers as well as children's reading room. |
