Abstract

The purpose of this study was to develop and study an experiential natural education program that could emphasize the importance of the natural environment by providing natural experience opportunities using the natural resources of the urban forest parks using Youngheung Park in Suwon, Gyeonggi Province as a target site. The research target was limited to Suwon Yeongheung Park, which had the potential to become a place for education, where urban forest conservation and sustainable use already coexist. The natural education resources derived by surveying and analyzing the basic environment and the ecology of plants and animals in Suwon Yeongheung Park were organized to establish program goals, directions, and themes. Suwon Yeongheung Park is a water-rich forest that forms an ecological system of wetlands, including rice paddies, muknon wetlands, and dungbun, near a valley area. The U-shaped walkway was smoothly formed along the ridge and includes Doran-gil, which is among the Palochrome Road, designated by the city of Suwon. The soil is acidic, with a pH 4.40, due to urban pollution and acid rain, and is not good for plant growth. Most of the artificial forests, natural forests, and arable land were found using land use and extant life surveys. Old trees were distributed in artificial forests, the oak clusters in natural forests, and the fields and darrinones were distributed in the arable areas. As the forest vegetation declined, the cedar forest was underway, and the cedar trees and red bean pear trees were cultivated due to their adaptability to the urban environment. There are 13 large of 180 sacks, one being 109 centimeters in diameter, the largest silvery tree, and 105 oak trees, provide food and shelter for animals. Six species of waterfowl that used the 22 kinds of forest wetlands, while four species of amphibians and two species of reptiles reside in the wetlands. Natural Monument No. 327, Mauryuk, Class II Endangered Wildlife, was also observed in the wetlands. Eight other species of surface dragonflies and three species of butterflies were observed. By systemizing the resources, members, and characteristics of the forest ecosystems in Suwon Yeongheung Park based on five criteria, the program for a hands-on natural education was presented with the aim of understanding the urban forest ecosystem in Suwon Yeongheung Park, having an affinity with the city, and recognizing its relationship with the community and society. However, further research is needed as there are limitations of research on programs characterized by different ages and classes.

본 연구의 목적은 경기도 수원 영흥공원을 대상지로 도시 산림공원의 자연자원을 활용한 자연체험기회를 제공하고, 자연환경의 중요성을 인식할 수 있는 체험형 자연교육 프로그램을 개발·연구하고자 하였다. 연구대상지는 도시 산림 보전과 지속가능한 이용이 공존하는 교육의 장소가 될 잠재성을 가지고 있는 수원 영흥공원으로 한정하였다. 수원 영흥공원의 기반환경과 동·식물생태를 조사·분석후 도출된 자연교육 자원을 체계화하여 프로그램 목표와 방향 및 주제를 설정하였다. 수원 영흥공원은 물이 풍부한 산림으로 계곡부 주변에 논경작지와 묵논습지 및 둠벙 등 습지 생태계를 이루고 있다. 산책로는 U자형 능선을 따라 완만하게 형성되었고, 수원시가 지정한 팔색로 중 도란길이 포함된다. 토양은 도시의 대기오염과 산성비로 인해 식물 생장에 좋지 않은 pH 4.40의 산성토양이다. 토지이용 및 현존식생조사에서 인공림, 자연림, 경작지가 대부분이며, 인공림에서는 아까시나무림, 자연림에서는 상수리나무군락, 경작지에서는 밭과 다랭이논이 분포하였다. 산림식생중 아까시나무림은 쇠퇴하고 갈참나무군락으로 천이가 진행 중이며, 도시환경 적응성이 강한 때죽나무, 팥배나무 등이 생육하였다. 큰나무는 13종 180주로 흉고직경이 109cm으로 가장 큰 은사시나무, 105주의 상수리나무 대경목이 분포하고 있어 동물이 서식하기 위한 먹이, 은신처를 제공하고 있다. 야생조류는 산림에서 사는 산새류가 22종, 논습지를 이용하는 물새류 6종이 서식하였고, 양서류는 4종, 파충류는 2종이 서식하였다. 천연기념물 제327호 원앙, 멸종위기 야생생물II급인 맹꽁이도 논습지에서 관찰되었다. 그 외 지표 잠자리류 8종, 나비류 3종을 관찰하였다. 수원 영흥공원 숲 생태계 구성원과 특성을 담은 자원을 5가지 기준으로 체계화하여 수원 영흥공원의 도시숲생태계를 이해하고, 친밀감을 가지며, 자신과 공동체, 사회와의 관계성을 인식을 위한 목표로 체험형 자연교육 프로그램을 제시하였다. 그러나 다양한 연령과 계층에 특성화된 프로그램에 대한 연구의 한계가 있어 차후 연구가 필요하다.
