The Korean Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism has held "Travel Week" since 2014 to encourage the people to take a vacation and disperse the seasonal tourism demand that is concentrated in summer in Korea. As part of the program, the Korea National Park Service has also operated the participatory lowland exploration program that offers nature-themed attractions and enjoyment in national parks across the country during the "Travel Week" since 2018. The purpose of this study was to investigate the satisfaction with the program and intention to participate again of participants in the "National Park Spring Week Program" which is held in national parks during the "Travel Week." We conducted a self-report survey of 1,281 participants in the "2019 National Park Spring Week Program" held in 18 national parks across the country. The analysis of responses on the difference in the participants' satisfaction and intention to participate again according to the awareness in advance of the "2019 National Park Spring Week Program" showed that the average satisfaction and intentional to participate again of those who were aware of the program before visiting national parks were statistically significantly higher than those who were not. As for the type of national parks, those who participated in "maritime and coastal national parks" and "historical national parks" showed the statistically significantly higher satisfaction and intention to participate again than those who participated in "urban national parks." As for the type of the programs, those who participated in "cultural performance" and "exploration experience" showed the statistically significantly higher satisfaction than those who participated in "exhibition," "PR booth," and "campaign." Those who participated in "cultural performance" and "exploration experience" showed the statistically significantly higher intention to participate again than those who participated in "exhibition" and "PR booth." This study is expected to provide basic data for establishing a policy to improve exploration services in response to the increasing number of visitors to national parks in spring and fall as well as the peak season of summer.

The purpose of this study was to provide basic data for developing effective park management. For this, satisfaction factors and estimated model by satisfaction variables of user were analyzed through a questionnaire survey in Woraksan National Park, Korea. In the evaluation of the satisfaction, variables of the 'fee', 'lack and cleanness of facility', 'exorbitant pay', 'littering problem' were more unsatisfied than any other variables. Satisfaction factors by Factor Analysis were loaded with 'usual management'. In estimated model of satisfaction by Multiple Regression Analysis order of 'safety for recreation activities', 'parking problem', 'littering problem' were shown.

This study was carried out with the aim to provide basic data for efficient park management by analyzing satisfaction factors and estimated regression model through questionnaire survey method for the visitors to Bukhansan National Park in Korea. As a result of analysis, it was found that visitors are satisfied with such variables as 'illegal camping', 'cooking act' and 'padded bills' but extremely unsatisfied with 'waste problem', 'congestion', 'damage of visiting trails' and 'lack of cultural facilities'. In the result of satisfaction factors, it was revealed that 'facility management factor' was found to have the greatest effect on satisfaction degree. In the estimated model by Multiple Regression Analysis, 'damage of natural resources' and 'damage of cultural and historic resources', and 'lack of traffic facilities' were found to affect visitors' satisfaction.

기술의 발전은 인간의 생활시간을 늘리는데 큰 역할을 하고 있다. 특히 조명 분야의 발전은 야간시간을 주간시간과 같이 늘리는데 지대한 역할을 하고 있다. 현재 야간의 활동 시간을 넓히는데 우요한 역할을 하던 조명의 역할이 경관의 활성화와 미적 공간 의 창출로 활용되고 있다. 또한 야간 조명은 건강과 복지에 대한 인간의 욕구를 야간 시간의 활용을 통하여 충족시킬 수 있도록 도와주고 있다. 이러한 상황에서 근린공원 의 야간 시간 이용자들이 늘어나고 있으며 야간 조명이 근린공원 이용자들의 만족도를 향상시키는 중요한 도구로 작용하고 있다. 본 연구는 근린공원 이용의 만족도와 안전성을 높이는 야간 조명의 배치를 법적 기준에 근거한 평면적 접근법에서 수목의 배치와 생육상태를 고려한 입체적 접근법으로 시뮬레이션 접근법을 제안한다.

This study was carried out to provide basic data for efficient park management by analysing visitors' satisfaction factors and estimated regression model through questionnaire survey method at Taeanhaean National Park in Korea. Performance(satisfaction) variables as 'touting', 'illegal merchant', 'noise', 'indiscreet use' and 'collection of natural plants or animals', and Importance variables as 'littering problem', 'water pollution act', 'careless cooking' and 'exorbitant pay' were relatively high score. It was clarified that the 'souvenir & special product', 'lack of use program' 'lack of public facility', 'lack of information facility', and 'lack of commercial facility' were 'concentrate here' ones by the Importance-Performance analysis. 'Facility management', 'Use management' and 'Resource management' factors were found out by Factor Analysis and the 'Facility management' was the biggest factor accounting for 32.6% of all. In the estimated model by Multiple Regression Analysis, 'lack of employee's guidance or kindness', 'lack of convenience facility', 'noise', 'lack of facilities to stay' and 'charge of user fee, parking fee' were the variables to impact visitors' satisfaction and to need concentrated management. These results were unique characteristics of marine national park and then the different management strategy and policy from mountain national park were necessary.

This study aims at analysing the differences on visitors' satisfactory level based-on personal lifestyles in a Korean national park. The lifestyles were classified and differences of satisfaction level among the groups were verified from a questionnaire survey in Bukhansan National Park, Korea. Lifestyles by the factor analysis, 5 factors were sorted. 4 clusters classified as the suitable clusters by clustering analysis. As a result from differences of satisfaction level on the lifestyle types, satisfaction level for each cluster has been shown to be statistically meaningful difference. Satisfaction level in active tendency cluster was the highest among the 4 cluster types(Social>Individual>Passive cluster). Satisfaction differences according to the lifestyles suggests that a fragmented approach is needed rather than an integrated approach for managing facilities and programs in Korean national park system.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate urban parks and green spaces within the public service framework by identifying priority elements. This study surveyed 455 residents from 80 dongs(neighborhoods), of 5 Gu(districts) districts in Daejeon. The results were as follows. Regarding the evaluation of urban parks as a public service, the average survey score, of all 46 questions, was distributed from 2.46 to 3.54(Likert 5 point scale). Interesting findings can be observed in that most of the survey participants gave high scores to Daejon's natural green environments and geographical traits. That is, Daejon residents perceived their urban nature spaces as a natural geographical environment rather than a public service provided by their local government. Therefore, it seems necessary for the local government, by and large, to improve urban parks and urban green space programs. The low scoring items were 'citizen's participation'(mean 2.46), 'acceptance of complaints, comments, and improvement proposals'(mean 2.54), 'citizen's respect', 'inclusive design' (for the physically challenged-mean 2.55), 'diverse programs and activities in the urban park'(mean 2.55) and 'implementation of revision proposals by citizens'(mean 2.61). These results indicate that citizen participation in planning and opinion sharing is needed to build public services that are satisfactory to users. To evaluate the park and green space from the viewpoint of public services is a useful method with a new point of view. In accordance with this study, the factor of 'supply decision maker' is a statistically meaningful variable of resident satisfaction while earlier studies on the satisfaction studies of physical environment, hardly discovered variables on 'supply decision maker', 'acceptance of resident opinions', and 'information usage'. Responding to or taking positive action according to significant factors, such as the findings of this study, can expand the role of public officials to exert a more positive influence on urban parks and green spaces.
