사회문화 변화를 고려한 펜스 디자인 다양화에 대한 연구 = A study on the diversification of fence design considering socio-cultural changes

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The fence, a structure made of lightweight materials with openness for the purpose of delineating and protecting specific areas, occupies a significant part of the micro-landscape of the city. This study focuses on fence design centered around urban sidewalks, reflecting socio-cultural changes and diversifying types, along with the development of guidelines for this purpose, aiming to enhance the quality of public design. As a public facility, the fence has functions such as safety and security, spatial partitioning and boundary marking, traffic control and guidance, as well as aesthetic and environmental functions. The government and local authorities have established public design guidelines and developed standard designs to enhance the quality and management of fence designs. In many design guidelines and standard designs, fences are limited to pedestrian fences, bicycle path fences, children's protection area fences, and bridge fences, with similar detailed guidelines for each. To attract tourists, many regions are increasing the installation of suspension bridges, observation decks, and walkways, which expands the areas for fence installation as they develop connecting trails and walking paths. Fence types should be diversified to support the walking of the elderly and to suit various purposes such as installation conditions and tourism, while design guidelines must also be subdivided accordingly. It is desirable to categorize fences spatially into types for walking trails, exploration paths, and waterfront areas; functionally into safety assurance, path guidance, and scenic types; and based on installation conditions into flat, sloped, and curved terrain types.
