Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze community members' perception due to impacts on use and development of Dulegil in Bukhansan National Park. The study was conducted by questionnaire survey sent to community members of the vicinity of Dulegil. Average score of positive impact on the local community was 3.2. Positive impacts mentioned by community members were 'heightened pride in their community with increased community image' and 'improvement of landscape and natural environment.' Improved residents' awareness of landscape and natural environment indicated that Dulegil almost accomplished intended goal of preservation of ecosystem. However, actual effects on ecosystem preservation and local economy were not perceptible yet. Score of negative impact was 2.8 on average. 'Traffic congestion' and 'increase in noise level' were considered the most serious among the negative impacts. Environmental pollution and destruction of vegetation in the lowland were deemed relatively bad. Regarding resident awareness of community, those in their 50s and older were quite satisfied with the community. However, young people showed lower level of satisfaction. In order to satisfy all ages, infrastructure and programs for the youth should be in place. To minimize negative awareness of impacts of Dulegil, visitor's attitude should be changed, and education and training on the value and mind set of horizontal hiking are required.

본 연구는 북한산국립공원 둘레길의 조성과 이용에 따른 지역주민의 인식을 분석하는데 목적이 있다. 조사방법은 이용자 자기 기입식 조사 방법으로 현장조사를 통해 둘레길 주변 상가 및 민가에 거주하는 지역주민을 대상으로 이루어졌다. 지역사회에 미치는 긍정적 영향은 평균 3.2점으로 보통으로 인식하였다. 주민이 인식하는 긍정적 영향은 지역 이미지 상승을 통한 지역 주민의 자긍심 고취, 지역경관 및 자연환경의 개선이었다. 지역 이미지 상승에 대한 긍정적 인식이 가장 높았으며, 지역경관 및 자연환경 개선에 대한 인식변화로 생태계 보전 효과라는 소기의 목적을 달성했다고 판단된다. 하지만 실질적 생태계 보전 효과와 지역사회 경제적 효과는 아직 체감되지 못하고 있었다. 부정적 영향은 평균 2.8점으로 교통 혼잡 및 소음 증가를 가장 심각하게 인식하였고, 환경오염, 저지대 식생 파괴에 대해 비교적 부정적으로 평가하였다. 주민의 지역사회 인식은 전반적으로 50대 이상 중장년층의 만족도가 높았고 청년층의 만족도는 낮았다. 다양한 연령 계층이 만족하기 위해서 만족도가 낮은 청년층을 위한 인프라 및 프로그램 구축이 필요하다. 또한 지역주민이 인식하고 있는 둘레길의 부정적 측면을 저감하기 위해서는 무엇보다 탐방객의 태도 변화와 수평적 탐방문화의 가치와 자세에 대한 교육과 캠페인이 필요할 것이다.
