Abstract

This study was conducted to find out availability of a urban forest (Eudeungsan) as a substitute place of Mudeungsan Provincial Park (MPP) in overuse problem and to identify related factors to place substitutability. During June-August of 2012, 232 samples who have ever visited both of the two places (i.e., MPP and Euduengsan) in Gwang-ju city were selected by using convenient sampling and snowball sampling methods. Self-administered questionnaire survey was conducted, and the valid responses from 225 samples (97.0%) were used for data analysis. 24.2% of respondents had "considerably" or "very much" intention to use the substitute place, and 65.5% of respondents showed "a little" or "somewhat" 10.3% of respondents didn't have any intention to visit Eudeungsan as a substitute place of MPP. Generally, socio-demographic and visiting characteristics were not related with intention to visit Eudeungsan as a substitute place of MPP. It was only found that respondents who largely visit 'alone' to Eudeungsan tended to have higher intention to visit the substitute place than those who visit 'in group.' Three factors of reasons to visit Eudeungsan (i.e.,Challenge/self-development: ${\beta}=0.35$; Accessibility/familiarity: ${\beta}=0.27$; Adventure: ${\beta}=-0.19$) influenced intention to visit the substitute place. Relationship between reasons to visit and intention to visit the substitute place was found. No direct relationship was found between perceived similarity of the places and intention to visit substitute place, and similarity of recreation experiences showed perfect mediating effects between the two variables.

본 연구는 과용문제가 있다고 판단되는 무등산도립공원의 이용분산을 위한 도시근교림(어등산)의 대체자원으로서의 이용가능성 타진과 더불어 휴양자원의 대체성(substitutability)에 영향을 미치는 관련요인을 규명하기 위하여 시행되었다. 2012년 6~8월 중 광주광역시 근교림의 하나인 어등산과 무등산도립공원 두 장소를 모두 방문한 경험이 있는 휴양객을 대상으로 편의샘플링과 스노우볼 샘플링에 의해 추출된 232명을 대상으로 자기기입식 설문조사를 실시하였으며, 이중 225명(97.0%)의 응답이 본 연구의 분석을 위해 이용되었다. 24.2%의 응답자가 "상당히" 또는 "매우 많이", 65.5%의 응답자는 "약간" 또는 "다소" 무등산의 대체장소로서 어등산 이용의도를 나타냈다. 응답자의 10.3%는 어등산을 무등산의 대체장소로서 이용할 의향이 전혀 없는 것으로 조사되었다. 전반적으로 인구사회학적 특성(성별, 연령, 결혼상태, 소득 및 교육수준, 지역거주기간)과 방문행태(방문경험수준, 방문요일)는 무등산도립공원의 대체장소로서 어등산의 이용의사와 관련이 없었다. 단지 '주로 혼자서' 방문하는 응답자는 '그룹' 방문 응답자에 비해 대체장소에 대한 높은 방문의도를 나타냈다. 또한 7개 요인의 방문이유는 대체장소 방문의도의 25.0%를 설명하였으며 이들 중 3개요인 즉 '도전/자기계발(${\beta}=0.35$)', '접근성/친숙성(${\beta}=0.27$)', '모험(${\beta}=-0.19$)'은 P<0.05수준에서 유의성이 있는 것으로 조사되었다. 두 장소 간 장소속성의 유사성은 대체장소 방문의도와 직접적 관계가 없었으며 휴양경험의 유사성은 장소속성의 유사성과 대체장소 방문의도와의 관계에서 완전매개효과를 나타냈다.
