Abstract
Purpose: This study aimed to identify audience safety risk factors based on the risk perceptions and accident experiences of performance safety practitioners and to propose audience safety management measures by analyzing accident characteristics according to performance size and venue type. Method: A survey was conducted among practitioners involved in performance and audience safety management. Descriptive statistical analysis was performed on the collected data, and chi-square tests were conducted to examine the relationships between performance size, venue type, and accident characteristics. Results: The most common accidents were fall-related accidents occurring in seating and stair areas, as well as crowd congestion and crowd pressure incidents. Significant relationships were found between performance size and accident areas, as well as between performance size and accident types. Conclusion: Audience safety accidents at performances were found to result from the combined effects of behavioral, environmental, organizational, and technical factors. Based on these findings, this study proposed audience safety management measures.

연구목적: 본 연구는 공연 안전관리 실무자의 위험인식과 사고 경험을 바탕으로 위험요인을 도출하고, 사고 발생과 유의한 공연 특성을 상정하여 안전관리 방안을 제안한다. 연구방법: 공연 안전 실무자를 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였다. 수집된 자료는 기술통계 분석을 수행하였으며, 공연 규모 및 개최 장소와 사고 특성 간의 관계를 검증하기 위하여 카이제곱 검정을 실시하였다. 연구결과: 주요 사고는 낙상사고와 군중 밀집·압박 사고로 확인되었으며, 공연 규모와 사고 구역 및 사고 유형 간에 유의한 관계가 나타났다. 결론: 사고 발생 특성을 고려하여 행동적, 환경적, 조직적, 기술적 요인의 관점에서 공연 관객 안전관리 방안을 제안하였다.
