감염병 확산으로부터 안전한 초등학교 디자인 제안을 위한 탐색적 연구

Abstract

Purpose: The Study is an exploratory study to propose design of elementary schools to control and prevent infection spread. In the COVID-19 pandemic, children are less likely to be infected and spread the disease. However, students had to take distance education for safety concern resulting learning gaps and care deficit. Schools are crucial facilities especially for younger children so it is important to make a safe learning environment. Method: First, This research conducted literature review to investigate empirical studies and identify environmental factors to control infection. In addition, infection cases were analyzed to identify the transmission modes and causes. Environmental factors to control COVID-19 were identified and classified into two categories; architectural planning and HVAC system planning. Second, the characteristics of school building were analyzed in the aspect of an infection control. Moreover, the study went through current COVID-19 prevention guideline for school review to find an improvement. Result: This study proposes design considerations for safer school environment, improving the current guideline for schools. Finding can be used to develop or improve current infection control guidelines for various facilities.
