A Study on the Effect of Middle-Aged People’s Use of Cultural Programs in Public Library on their Library Perception and Life Satisfaction
Abstract
This study designed the research model to identify whether the characteristics of cultural programs of public libraries and middle-aged people’s experience of the programs impact on their life satisfaction. To verify our model, we conducted our survey to random middle-aged users of five public libraries in Gyeonggi-do and nine public libraries in Seoul, and 246 valid samples are used. Our analysis showed that the characteristics of cultural programs and middle aged people’s experience of the programs affect their perception of cultural programs, and the regional perception of public libraries had a significant effect on fulfilling personal needs for life satisfaction. Our analysis also showed the change in values of public libraries that spread to the realm of daily life. This study is meaningful in suggesting directions for national and local public library policies and public library cultural programs.
