This study was conducted to find methods of qualitative landscape assessment for vegetational landscapes using ecological analysis. The study site was Seoraksan National Park in Korea. For this study, differing unique landscape resources were categorized and identified according to ecosystems. After identifying the study areas, the relationship between trail visitor preference and the amount of visible overexposure caused by people to the resources was examined. Landscape resources chosen for ecological analysis at Seoraksan National Park were subalpine vegetation community, high mountain rocks, ombrogenous deciduous broadleaf forest in the valley area, edaphic climax community, big tree community, flowering tree dominant community, autumnal tree dominant community and needle-leaf forest in the subalpine area. As a result of the study, it was found that the landscape resources with the highest correlation to visitor trail preference were big tree community area, flowering tree dominant community area, and needle-leaf forest in the subalpine area. As a result of overlapping the analysis of the amount of visible overexposure to the landscape resources and the analysis of preferential use of trails by visitors, guidance for the appropriate season for each trail can be provided. Since a positive correlation exists between certain sections of the natural landscapes and visitor preference, ecological impact on landscape resource ecosystems did not appear to cover wide areas of the trails, but was limited to certain areas preferred by visitors.

Many different Visitor Guide Programs are active in order to explain the park-visitors of the superiority of National Park ecosystems and to make them aware of the importance of national park conservation. One of those VGPs is Nature Observation Trail. In this study, we analyzed the course and program of Sangui Nature Observation Trail in Juwangsan National Park. We suggest new course and interpretation plates to make explorers understand their contents easily.

The purposes of this study were to understand visitors' park use characteristics and provide effective directions fur managing facilities and programs of ecological interpretation in Incheon Grand Park, Korea. To accomplish the purposes of study, a questionnaire survey with 376 samples was carried on the park. As for the results, most respondents were pointed relaxation with natural environment as a main visiting purpose. Visitors highly interested in programs of ecological interpretation and also respondents' intension of participation to those programs showed far more positive. Based on the results, there was a need fer introducing facilities and programs of ecological interpretation as a park management strategy in order to induce nature-friendly park use and connect to environment education in the school system. In addition, some suggestions which should be developed a base facilities and various programs were made.

This study explores the geographic characteristics of ecotour resources in Oceania based on the concept of ecotourism along with global education and investigates the global educational applications of eco-resources through a field survey of the Australian Cairns region. The field survey areas are the Green Island within the Great Barrier Reef, Barron Gorge National Park, the Australian Butterfly Sanctuary in Cairns, and the Tjabukai Aboriginal Cultural Park. This case study of the Cairns region is applicable to global education in these aspects: The underwater Observatory and Glass bottom boat in Green Island is used in efficient exploration of ocean ecology; Barron Gorge National Park provides an excellent forest tour with a well-made track, detailed directory, and trained park rangers; the old industrial trains are being recycled for tourism uses; the Australian Butterfly Sanctuary provides various language interpretations and experts to help further visitor's understanding of the surrounding eco-resources; The Aboriginal Cultural Park also utilizes a special program that helps people understand their culture.

계룡산국립공원의 탐방객 수는 매년 조금씩 감소하는 추세를 보이고 있으며, 천제 탐방객 중 56.4%가 접근성이 용이한 동학사지구로 탐방하고 있었다. 이용이 가장 많은 기간 중 일요일에 4개의 매표소를 기준으로 정상을 향한 등반비율을 각각 갑사매표소(72.2%), 천장(47.7%), 동학사(30.6%), 신원사(6.9%)의 순으로 조사되었으며, 나머지는 등반하지 않고 매표소 근처만을 탐방한 후에 되돌아가는 것으로 조사되었다. 계룡산국립공원의 탐방패턴은 지역별, 요일별로 차이를 보이는 것으로 조사되었다.

Most local governments make an attempt to attract tourists through the large-scale development projects or regional festival events. But, its possibility of success is actually low, so they must take care of ecotourism industry which has higher efficiency in comparison with investing expense. Seocheon area couldn't be focused greatly in spite of the excellent ecological and cultural resources. However, there are lots of possibilities to be a new center of ecotourism because of newly opened National Institute of Ecology and National Marine Biology Resource Institute. Therefore, the purposes of this thesis are to analyze several eco-cultural property all over Seocheon, introduce ecotourism, a main function of ecosystem services, and develop the program satisfying 3 elements of ecotourism; natural environment, visitors and residents. In Seocheon located in where the sea meets the river, ecological property could be reorganized into 4 areas in relation to existing famous tourist attractions. As a measure to let visitors stay, we induced them to lodge in the region through the field work. To realize slow life, we designed it so that they can enjoy each landscape slowly. we also suggested the program which can guide visitors onto the vicinity of habitat for migratory birds at the mouth of Geumgang River and Seocheon foreshore nominated as Ramsar wetlands by focusing on National Institute of Ecology and National Marine Biology Resource Institute which will be the Mecca of ecology research. Through this research, there will be an opportunity to satisfy visitors of Seocheon and enrich local residents' lives.
