Abstract
Purpose: This study aims to derive improvement directions for civil defense shelter guide signs from the perspective of problem awareness regarding the continuous exposure of colors associated with prohibition or hazard warnings during peacetime, not civil defense emergency situations. Method: This study aimed to survey on the current status of domestic and international cases related to civil defense shelter guide signs, conduct a public survey, analysis of differences in perception of guide signs by color using analysis of variance (ANOVA), analysis opinions regarding the change of guide sign colors between normal and emergency situations. Result: The results of the preference analysis by color of the guide sign were green (4.1333), red (3.2083), and yellow (2.6750), and the preference for green was high in all items (stability (psychology), visibility, reliability, and informativity) as a result of the analysis of differences in image recognition by color. In the case of normal and emergency, the method of changing from green to red in the case of emergency was the highest at 62.5%. Conclusion: In order to clearly distinguish between normal and emergency situations and to ensure accessibility and speed of information transmission during emergencies, it is necessary to review the color change of the sign and prepare an operation plan for it.

연구목적: 본 연구는 민방위 사태가 아닌 평시 상황에서의 금지 및 위험경고등의 의미를 지속적으로 노출하는 것에 대한 문제 인식 관점에서 민방위 대피시설 안내표지판에 대한 개선방향을 도출하고자 한다. 연구방법: 민방위 대피시설 안내표지판 관련 국내외 현황조사, 국민대상 설문조사 실시, 분산분석(ANOVA)을 통한 색상별 안내표지판 인식차이 비교, 평상시와 비상사태시 색상변경 관련 의견을 분석하고자 하였다. 연구결과: 안내표지판 색상별 선호도 분석 결과는 녹색(4.1333), 빨강(3.2083), 노랑(2.6750) 순으로 평상시 녹색 바탕의 안내표지판을 선호하고, 색상별 이미지 인식 차이 분석 결과, 모든 항목(안정성(심리), 시인성, 신뢰성, 정보성 )에서 녹색에 대한 선호도가 높게 도출되었다. 평상시와 비상사태시의 경우, 평상시에는 녹색에서 비상사태시 빨간색으로 변경하는 방안이 62.5%로 가장 높게 나타났다. 결론: 평상시와 비상사태시를 명확히 구분할 수 있고, 비상사태 발생시 정보전달의 접근성 및 신속성을 보장하기 위해 안내표지판의 색상변경검토 및 이에 대한 운영방안 마련이 필요하다.
