Abstract

This study conducted research with the intention of making a contribution to the future light pollution prevention and lighting condition enhancement in Inchoen area, through analyzing the lightening equipment installation/management condition and the light pollution of the artificial light. In order to research on the actual condition of light pollution occurred in Incheon, the study have selected 300 possible light pollution outbreak locations, and checked the light emission characteristics by each lighting environment management region. Out of 40 spatial lightening management locations, group 1~3 have exceeded the permissible standard by 92.31 %, and group 4 have exceeded the permissible standard by 35.7 %. Although the excess rate for group 4 displays lower number, civil complains are expected in the future since high standard value had been applied due to the fact that it is a residential area adjacent to the commercial area. Advertising lighting was measured in 241 locations, as a result of maximum luminance measurement analysis, group 3 have exceeded the permissible standard by 32.9 %, and group 4 by 58.4 %. Maximum brightness value of decorative lighting showed the $54.13{\sim}40,400cd/m^2$ for group 3, and $285.61{\sim}96,874cd/m^2$ for group 4. The source of light which displayed each group's maximum value were white fluorescent lamp and sodium lamp. Regardless of the light source type, light pollution damage is expected in most of the location due to the high value. City of Incheon should establish the standard of lighting management by designating the lighting environment management zone according to the local characteristics, and also by setting up the detailed light pollution allowance standard for the correct use of lighting suitable for night life in Incheon.

본 연구는 인천광역시 조명기구의 설치 및 관리 환경 현황과 인공조명의 빛공해 실태 분석을 통해 향후 인천시 빛공해 방지와 조명환경 개선을 위한 도움이 되고자 실시하였다. 인천시 빛공해 발생 실태 조사를 위해 빛공해 발생 예상 300 지점을 선정하여 조명환경관리구역별 빛방사 특성을 확인하였다. 총 40 개 지점의 공간조명은 관리구역 1~3종 26 개 지점에서 92.31 %의 허용 기준 초과율을 보였으며, 4종 14 개 지점에서 초과율은 35.7 %로 낮게 나타났으나 상가와 인접한 주거지라는 이유에 의해 높은 기준치가 적용된 것으로 향후 빛공해 민원 발생이 예상된다. 광고조명은 총 241 개 지점에서 측정하였으며, 정지된 형태의 광고물만을 대상으로 하였다. 최대 휘도 측정분석 결과 3종 구역 32.9 %, 4종 구역 58.5 %가 허용 기준치를 초과하였다. 장식조명의 최대 휘도 값은 3종 구역 $54.13{\sim}40,400cd/m^2$, 4종 구역 $285.61{\sim}96,874cd/m^2$로 나타났다. 각 구역의 최대값을 나타낸 광원의 종류는 백색형광 램프와 나트륨 램프였다. 장식조명에 사용된 램프는 광원의 종류에 관계없이 높은 값을 나타내어 대부분의 지점에서 빛공해 피해 발생이 예상되었다. 인천시는 야간 생활에 꼭 필요한 조명의 올바른 사용을 위해 세분화된 빛공해 허용기준의 마련과 지역특성에 맞는 조명환경관리구역 지정에 의한 조명 관리의 기준이 확립 되어야 할 것이다.
