A Study on the Types and Characteristics of Monstrum Playground

Children's satisfaction with local playgrounds installed in Korea is not very high. Most of the playgrounds installed in Korea have a similar structure and shape, and slides, swings, and combination playgrounds with the same height and angle make up the playground wherever they go. For this reason, children are not interested in the rides in these playgrounds. This is creating a tedious playground because of the excessive protectionism that it must be protected from all injuries and dangers as much as possible according to strict safety standards. A dangerous playground that awakens imagination and creativity increases children's development, imagination, creativity, and problem-solving ability, as well as the ability to cope with danger, rather than a boring and safe playground. Therefore, domestic playgrounds need more changes that foster diversity and creativity, and for this, we looked at the types and characteristics of the Monstrum playground, which is famous as a playground that stimulates and inspires children's imagination with creative innovation. 49 Monstrum playgrounds were investigated and the overall composition principle and type of playgrounds, major planning elements of the playground, creative design characteristics, and eco-friendly characteristics were investigated. As a result of the investigation, the expression method of the Monstrum playground simplifies the form of natural elements and artifacts, exaggerates, enlarges, reduces, and characterizes the characteristic elements by emphasizing them, and constructs the space using the storytelling technique. The space composition of the playground consists of a theme that connects with the surrounding natural elements or a story theme that expresses regional colors, and play facilities with artificially varying levels of difficulty using wood as the main material. In the creative design characteristics, 48 aesthetic spaces, 44 exploratory spaces, 36 challenging spaces, 18 natural spaces, and 9 variable spaces were investigated. And environmental characteristics were investigated in location and layout, ecological environment, play space, play equipment and facilities, ancillary facilities, materials and resources, environmental load reduction, design and construction, operation and maintenance. Accordingly, the basic data for the development of creative eco-friendly playgrounds and rides that promote creativity by analyzing the characteristics of the Monstrum playground were provided.
