The purpose of this study is to provide scientific data to support policy making on core area management in national parks, particularly to resolve conflict regarding trail closure, by analyzing the physical characteristics of trails in the Seoraksan and Songnisan National Park on the Baekdudaegan mountains. For the analysis, we surveyed 112 points selected from three sections and one section of closed trails in Seoraksan and Songnisan, respectively (17.1 km in total). The surveyed trails had, on average, trail width of 0.98m, baresoil width of 0.84 m, maximum erosion depth of 11.6cm, and trail slope of 14.2%. Of 53 out of 112 surveyed points (47.3%), we found exposed roots. Only 47 points (42.0%) did not show any type of physical deterioration. The magnitudes of deterioration in the surveyed closed-trail are relatively lower than those in open-trail in other national parks and are similar to those of ridge trails on the Baekdudaegan mountains.

Vegetation established through the natural process, such as Quercus mongolica, Pinus densiflora, Q. variabilis, Q. acutissima, Carpinus laxiflora, Q. aliena and Q. serrata communities and artificially introduced vegetation, which are composed of Larix leptolepis and P. rigida plantations, are established in the mountainous land of the Mt. Songnisan National Park. On the other hand, the developed lands, which are consisted of agricultural folds, residential areas, commercial areas related to tourism, etc. appear in the lowland around streams. Based on the spatial distribution of vegetation, the southern district, which is attributed to Naesongni-myun by administrative system, showed higher natural degree and vegetation diversity. However, most of the other districts, which are attributed to Cheongcheon- and Chilseong-myuns, are covered with the Korean red pine forest, a product of artificial influence, and plantation also occupied higher percentage. Thereby both vegetation diversity and natural degree are lowering. A result of ordination by DCA showed that sands tended to be arranged by depending on the topographic condition. Species diversity of plant communities was higher in broad-leaved stands rather than in coniferous ones and in stands of the early stage than in ones of the late stage. The result of analysis on vegetation dynamics implied that vegetation of this region would be dominated by Carpinus laxiflora, Quercus mongolica and Pinus densiflora communities in the future. However, considered occurrence the of disturbance and response of vegetation on that, this estimation may different somewhat from an actual situation. Conservation strategies of the Mt. Songnisan National Park were discussed in viewpoints of landscape ecology, and conservation of major plant communities and biodiversity.

The purpose of this study is to survey and analyze of the visitor's cognition of admission fee collection system in National Park. To accomplish the purposes, a questionnaire survey was employed in Songnisan National Park. The contents of questionnaire consist of the socioeconomic characteristics and the types of visiting, the activity, the cognition of admission fee collection system.339 samples of total 345 respondents were used for final analysis. As a result of the analysis, the socioeconomic characteristics and the types of visiting, the visiting purpose were showed similar trends with results from other National Park visitors survey. Most of respondents didn't recognize the raise of admission fee and how to use the admission fee. And they recognized that it is too expensive. Most of respondents recognized the joint collection of admission fee but they were strong against it. About the range of cultural assets in National Park, the cognition of 'Only Buddhism's assets in temple' was almost equal with the cognition of 'It includes not only cultural assets of inside and outside temple but also thick forest in National Park'. But most of respondents were strong against the collection of admission fee of cultural assets.

본 연구는 속리산국립?공원에 위치하고 있는 낙영산탐방로에 대하여 탐방로 관리와 공원관리에의 기초적인 자료제시를 목적으로 낙영산 탐방로 3곳에 대한 통행량 조사와 탐방로에 대한 훼손존사를 실시하였으며 이에 대한 결과로서 낙영산을 찾는 등산객은 대부분 공림사를 통해서 낙영산정상을 경유 매표소로 내려오는 비정규 탐방로를 이용하여 있었으며, 이를 분석해본 결과 주차장문제와 탐방객극 인식과 홍보 부족인 것으로 나타났다. 공림사$\~$낙영산구간에 대한 훼손이 대단히 심각한 상태이며 뿌리노출이 가장 흔한 훼손의 유형으로 나타났다. 낙영산탐방로의 평균 나지폭은 2.6m이며, 평균최대침식깊이는 1.25m이며 종속변수인 침식에 대한 각 요인별 회귀분석결과 경도에 대해서는 음의 상관관계를 입장객과 물매와는 양의 상관관계나 나타났다. 이는 탐방객의 홍보를 통한 인식의 변화와 탐방객의 입장에서의 적절한 탐방로의 지정과 출입통제와 현재 훼손된 지역에 대한 노면정비와 훼손지복구를 실시해야 한다는 것을 의미한다.

User's impacts on trail deteriorations and edge vegetation were studied in Sokri Mountain National Park in 1990. The entire width, bare width and maximum depth of trail as the trail condition were significantly greater on the more heavily used trail. Deteriorations of trail which were surveyed at the total of 52 were significantly different from those of non-deteriorated points. The dominant trees in the crown layer of trail edge are as follows. According as the altitude rises, the changes happen from Quercus serrata to Quercus variabilis, Pinus densiflora, and to Quercus mongolica at Joongsajaam course, and from Pinus densiflora, Quercus variabilis to Quercus mongolica at Birosanjang course. And Stephanandra incisa, Symplocos chinesis for. pilosa show high relative dominant value at Joongsajaam course, Lindera obtusiloba, Fraxinus sieboldiana show one at Birosanjang course.

To investigate edge vegetation structure in the Mt. Sokri National Park, field survey was executed in August. 1990 and the result are as follows. Dominant edge species by crown-layer and smilarity of species composition seemed to be affected by existing upper layer vegetation, altitude aspect and physiographical location. and the edge vegetation at summit was severely different with one of the other environmental types. Species diversity of edge vegetation was highest at Northern midslope, lowest at Southern mid-slope. and Acer pseudo-sieboldiamun var. koreanum was appeared as a dominant species at all environmental types. Frequency classes of edge species were different by altitude, aspect, physiographicallocation. Acer pseudo-sieboldiamun var, koreanum, Quercus mongolica, Fraxinus rhynchophylla, Lespedeza maximowiczii, Weigela subsessilis showed high frequency class at all environmental condition.
