This study is an attempt to present a model of branch library system planning of the public library in Pusan City.
This model is built up through the analysis of the distribution of population and characteristics of community structure, based on the standard for the branch libiary system of a public library.
The results are summarized as follows:
1. Under the circumstances of this country, each radius of the effective service area for branch libraries is as follows: 1∼1.5㎞ is adequate for the central library and major branches; 1㎞ for neighborhood branches; 0.5∼0.8㎞ for sub-branches.
2. Population within the radius of the effective service area of a given branch may range from 80,000 to 100,000 for major branches, from 50,000 to 60,000 for neighborhood branches, and from 20,000 to 30,000 for sub-branches.
3. The radius of the outer boundary for the effective service area may be 9㎞ from the heart of the city, and that of the inner boundary, 1.3㎞.
4. Areas within the width of 3㎞ toward both the east and west from the heart of the city, along the direction of the southwest and northeast, may be selected as the most effective locations for branch libraries, and between 3㎞ and 4㎞ as the second priority, and between 4㎞ and 5㎞ as the third.
5. The number of branches may be 29, that is, 7 major branches (Dongsang, Yangjung, Bumil, Daeyun 6 dong, Kwangan, Ami, Sinsun), 11 neighborhood branches (Myungryun, Yoensan 5 dong, Yoensan 3 dong, Buam, Danggam, Sujung 3 dong, Gaegum, Gamman, Joongang, Nambumin, Chunghak), and 11 sub-branches (Sajik 3 dong, Sajik 2 dong, Yoensan 7 dong, Bumchun, Namchun, Banyoe, Daeyun 1 dong, Guejung, Dukpo, Gamjun, Daejo)
