지역 커뮤니티 활성화를 위한 문화예술공간 운영 방안 ? 양평군을 중심으로 -

국문 초록 (Abstract)

본 연구에서는 커뮤니티 활성화를 위한 문화예술공간의 운영 방안에 관해 연구했다. 연구의 범위 지역인 경기도 양평군은 도농 복합 도시임에도 자녀의 교육을 위한 이주이거나 귀농 귀촌하는 이주민이 늘어가며 꾸준히 인구가 증가하고 있다.
그로 인해 발생하는 선주민과 이주민의 갈등이 잦아짐에 따라 지역 커뮤니티가 약화 되는 문제를 겪고 있다. 문화예술을 통해 지역의 문제를 해결하기 위해 양평군의 문화예술공간 사례지를 분석하고 지역 커뮤니티 활성화를 위한 문화예술공간의 운영 방안을 제시하고자 했다.
양평군의 문화예술 프로그램은 관광객을 대상으로 하는 경우가 많아 지역주민들의 요구와 지역적 특성을 반영하지 못하고 있다는 문제가 있었다. 따라서 시민들이 문화예술에 대한 접근성을 높일 수 있도록 매개가 되어 주는 문화예술공간과 더불어 문화예술공간이 지역 커뮤니티 활성화에 미치는 영향, 문화예술공간이 지속성을 갖고 자립 가능한 운영 방안을 다음과 같이 제시했다.
첫 번째는 지역성 강화를 위한 문화예술 콘텐츠 개발이 필요하다. 문화예술공간에서 읍·면 단위의 지역 콘텐츠를 발굴하여 개발하여야 하며 기존에 활용하고 있는 콘텐츠를 발전시켜야 한다.
두 번째 방안으로는 문화예술 활용방안으로 지역 커뮤니티 활성화를 위한 문화예술교육 프로그램과 지역 커뮤니티 참여형 공공예술 프로젝트 운영이 있다.
양평군의 문화예술 관련 체험의 기회가 적기 때문에 공공기관에서 운영하는 교육프로그램의 경우 문화예술 체험에 가까운 원데이 클래스를 지원하고 있다. 이러한 프로그램을 반가워하는 주민들도 있지만, 일회성 행사나 체험으로 그칠 수 있어 지역의 특성을 반영하지 못하고 있으며 교육에 참여한 지역주민의 지속적인 관심을 끌기 어렵고 커뮤니티 활성화를 기대할 수 없다.
또한 문화예술 공간 주체의 지역 커뮤니티 참여형 공공예술 프로젝트를 운영하여 지역 커뮤니티 활성화에 이바지할 수 있다.
기존의 양평군 지자체가 운영한 공공예술 프로젝트는 특정 단체에서 자체적으로 진행하여 일부 예술가들이 받는 혜택에 지나지 않았다. 문화예술공간과 공공공간을 활용하여 직접 참여함으로써 공간의 상태를 개선하는 동시에 지역과 공간에 애착을 형성할 수 있다.
세 번째로 양평군은 지리적 특성상 산지와 농가가 많아 문화예술 공간 간의 거리가 멀어 교류가 어렵다는 문제가 있어 교류 부재의 문제가 있다. 이를 위한 협력체계와 양평문화예술 거점 공간 구축이 필요하다. 거점 공간은 물리적 공간뿐만 아니라 온라인을 통한 가상공간에서도 실현하여 문화예술공간의 공생과 협력의 기반이 될 것이다.
본 연구는 양평군의 문화예술 공간을 중심으로 지역 커뮤니티 활성화를 위한 문화예술 공간 운영 방안을 중점적으로 다루었다. 양평군의 문화예술 공간이 지속성을 가지고 자립하기 위해서는 지역의 특성을 바탕으로 지역주민들의 적극적이고 자발적인 참여와 운영 주체와 주민들 간의 소통이 기본으로 되어야 한다. 또한 공공 운영공간과 민간 운영공간의 교류를 통해 공간 간의 협력과 각 공간의 역할에 맞는 프로그램과 지원하여 양평군의 문화예술공간에서의 활동이 지역 커뮤니티와 지역 문화예술 활성화를 기대한다.
