  • Students with intellectual disabilities typically have great difficulties communicating their needs and wants and may get frustrated, anxious or show signs of aggressive behaviour. They are often unable to understand the concept of relationships with other people as well. This lack of social communication and interaction leads to poor motivation which increases other areas of difficulty in their lives. Therefore, to teach students with intellectual disabilities, it is essential to find special teaching methods to support their positive behavior. This paper proposes that special educational curriculum for students with intellectual impairments utilize natural environments(forests) and materials. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of Educational Programs Utilizing Forests on maladjusted behavior of students with mental retardation and to examine the positive effects of such planning practices. The subjects were middle school students who attended a special school for mentally-retarded students. They were divided into two separate groups- an experimental group and a control group. All subjects received the pre and post test using the same method. This program was applied to the formal educational process of middle school from March 1st to October 30th, 2009. In this experiment the results indicate that the effect of using a natural environment(forest) and the materials within a formal educational curriculum was positive as a type of horticultural therapy and that it supports positive behavior strategies in students with intellectual impairments. The usage of various natural materials including plants and flowers within the natural environments provide students with increased opportunities to participate. Teaching methods including natural materials help teachers engage with their students more easily during routine activities as their interest is already stimulated. This project will help students with intellectual impairments to build skills which enable effective participation and increase independence throughout their lives. This should be embedded into both routine and planned activities of the classroom Also, it offers a needed interior plan for the treatment space through an analysis of psychological factors of how the environment affects students.

  • 국가 발전과 국민생활수준 향상으로 조경수를 이용한 경관조림이 생태공원, 도시숲, 학교숲. 거리숲 등의 이름으로 확대되어가는 현상을 보게 된다. 경관조림지를 보면서 행정가의 눈에 의한 행정적 조림, 작업원의 눈에 의한 사업적 조림은 있으나 전문가에 의한 경관조림기술이 부족하다는 것을 느끼곤 하였다. 수많은 조경수들 중에서 본연의 형태와 생태적 요구 특성에 알맞고, 입지특성 및 지역의 문화사회적 특성을 고려한 수종을 선택하고 배치하는 일은 물론 쉬운 일은 아닐 것이다. 그러나 경관조성과 관리사업에 대한 사회적 수요는 지속적으로 늘어날 전망이고, 경관의 질도 향상시켜 나감은 물론 경관조성사업의 투자 효율도 증대시키는 측면에서 조경수 배치 설계사 양성의 필요성을 제안해 보고자 한다.
