ABSTRACT

This study aims to explore measures to help establish a management direction and policies of local public libraries based on local residents’ needs for library services based on the community characteristics. To that end, a community survey was conducted focusing on eight urbans (gus) and two rural districts (guns) in Incheon Metropolitan City. The districts were categorized into three types, original urban center (Area 1), new urban center (Area 2), and urban-rural complex (Area 3). The residents in each type were analyzed in terms of library use, awareness, needs, and satisfaction. In terms of library use, awareness, and satisfaction, we identified differences among the area types. This paper suggested management directions of local public libraries based on the community characteristics.
