Abstract

This survey was conducted to study the mountain village residents' needs and awareness of eco-tourism. The survey included opinions about introducing Eco-tourism, Residents' willingness to join, types of policies to push forward, requirements to Korea Forest Service and expected outcomes. 346 residents were selected for this survey from 33 mountain eco-villages established by Korea Forest Service and 24 rural experience villages established by Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, and they respectively participated in this survey through interview from June $17^{th}$ 2015 to September $17^{th}$ 2015. As a result of major analysis, the survey showed that 86.7% of residents were in favor of the introduction of mountain village eco-tourism and 78.3% of those questioned showed the willingness of their participation of the program. Also 42.2% of respondents reacted positively that Korea Forest Service, associated administration agency and local government should be cooperated when the policies are established. 60.4% of respondents said they expect installment of recreational facilities and 67.6% said they expect development of eco-tourism program, which were respectively the highest rate as the requirements to be supported when the eco-tourism program are introduced. 86.1% said that increasing visitors will help mountain villages more revitalized as eco-tourism is introduced. This research is expected to provide information when making the mountain eco-tourism policy in the future.

본 연구에서는 산촌주민의 산촌생태관광에 관한 인식 및 요구를 파악하기 위해 설문조사를 실시하였다. 설문조사 내용은 산촌생태관광 도입의견, 주민 참여의향, 정책추진 유형, 산림청에 대한 요구사항, 기대효과 등에 관한 사항으로 구성하였다. 조사 대상 및 방법은 산림청에서 조성한 33개 산촌생태마을과 농림축산식품부에서 조성한 산촌진흥지역 내 농촌체험휴양마을 24개 마을의 마을주민 346명을 대상으로 2015년 6월 17일부터 9월 17일까지 개별면접 설문을 실시하였다. 주요 분석 결과로 산촌생태관광 도입 의견에 대한 설문에 86.7%가 찬성한다고 응답하였고, 산촌생태관광 도입 시 78.3%가 참여의향을 나타냈다. 또한 산촌생태관광 정책 수립 시 응답자의 42.2%가 산림청 연관부처 지자체가 협력하여 추진해야 한다고 응답했으며, 산촌생태관광 도입 시 지원해야할 요구사항은 환경 및 시설과 관련하여 휴양시설 설치가 60.4%, 프로그램 및 서비스 관련하여 산촌생태관광 프로그램 개발에 67.6%로 각각 높게 나타났다. 산촌생태관광 도입을 통한 기대효과에 86.1%가 산촌방문객 증가로 산촌활성화에 도움을 줄 것이라 응답하였다. 본 연구는 산촌생태관광 정책수립 시 주민들의 인식 및 요구를 수렴할 수 있는 기초자료로 활용될 것으로 기대된다.
