This study researches attributes , behaviors , satisfaction factors and degrees of curiosity of visitors to recreational forests in the suburbs of a large city. It aims to present suggestions for urban forest development and management policy by offering basic data which help to plan, design and manage recreational forests to increase the quality of these environments. The results are as follows First, in attribute, the visiting rate of males is higher than that of females, and the main users are in their thirties and forties. Sixty percent of visitors graduated from university and their rate of employment is evenly distributed. 95 percent of visitors are residents of the metropolitan area. In terms of behavior, major visitors are family units visiting during summer seasons and for overnight stays. 75% are re-visitors. 85% of visitors came to escape the city with families and friends, keep in good health and experience nature. Second, to extract the factors affecting visitor satisfaction in recreational forests, the natural environment, facilities, and management/use systems were identified as independent variables, while subordinate satisfactions were dependent variables. so regression analysis was used. Thus, the variables affecting the natural environment are quality of water, stream use, biodiversity, fresh air and landscape factors. The variables affecting facilities are puking, convenience, play facilities, sanitary arrangement and camping. Most important among the variables affecting management/use systems are educational facilities and access condition. On the basis of generalizing the study in the existing individual site, we must verify the visiting characteristics in recreational forests in the suburbs of a large city. Since development of recreational forests is understood as a sequence considering a site and a given condition, and since management and improvement must unfold according to these characteristics, a strategy is needed to reveal visitors' opinions about the site. Depending on the facilities and service, satisfaction of recreational forests is generally influenced by social and economic qualities. Also, this study can look into the effect according to use pattern motive and season. As suburban recreational forests have many overnight-users and younger men, programs suitable for these groups are needed. On the basis of variables affecting satisfaction according to natural environment, facilities, and use system, policies which can manage the natural environment and introduce educational programs are needed.

Recent economic and income growth in Korea has caused people to seek healthier and happier lives. Forests are seen as spaces that provide tourism and recreation. The Korea forest service and local governments are developing and designating recreational forests but previous studies on the subject have only covered customer satisfaction and how forests are used. As such, the current study aims to find issues with designation criteria for recreational forests used by Gwangju city in Gyeonggi province and suggest improvements to the system. Site E was deemed the most adequate in evaluations of five candidate site. The criteria used in the evaluations were problematic due to (1) a lack of differentiating power in evaluation items, (2) blanket coverage of score ranges, (3) a lack of additional points for special sites, and (4) unclear evaluation indices. Based on the identified issues, the current study suggests introducing additional points and clearly detailing evaluation indices and items to enhance the evaluation of recreational forest candidate sites.

본 연구는 산책로 환경을 정비하여 산림내 휴양기능의 개선방안을 모색하고저 1996년 일본의 동경 근교 공원에서 산책로의 환경특성, 이용 및 관리실태를 조사하였다. 그 결과 현재 조사지역 모두 환경보전이나 휴양환경을 개선하기 위한 정비보다는 이용 활성화를 위해 노력하고 있었다. 그러나 최근 공원의 방문목적이나 이용행태를 감안하면 휴양공간에서 경관성과 쾌적성의 확보는 가장 시급한 요인이라고 판단되었다. 따라서 산책로에 경관성과 쾌적성을 확보할 수 있는 정비방안으로는 자연성이 확보된 산책로의 정비 및 노선선정, 혼잡감을 억제할 수 있는 이용자의 조절방안 마련, 도로변에 시각적 이미지의 제고와 학습효과를 부가할 수 있는 식생관리기법의 도입 및 자연생태계의 보전을 도모할 수 있는 효율적인 운영관리 등이 요구된다.

휴양을 통한 개인의 자아개발과 주위사람들과의 교유의 장소, 자연에 대한 교육의 장소, 심리적 안정과 정신적 편안함의 장소로서 자연휴양림이 각광받고 있다. 하지만 다양한 기능을 제공해 주는 자연휴양림의 자연적 가치와 그 공간이 가지는 소중함을 간과하기 쉽다. 누구나 정해진 입장료와 사용료를 내면 맑은 공기와 쾌적한 환경, 휴식을 위한 공간을 이용할 수 있게 된다. 그러나 이용객들이 지급한 금액이 누리고 있는 자연의 올바른 가치인지는 깊이 고려해 봐야 할 과제 중의 하나라고 생각된다. 그리고 이용객들이 머무는 환경이 경제적으로 어느 정도의 가치가 되는지 그 금액을 추정하여 제시함으로 휴양 및 환경의 가치를 바르게 인식하도록 본 연구가 수행되었다. 이러한 목적을 달성하기 위한 가장 효율적인 방법이 경제학적인 접근이며, 이에 따른 방법은 기존에 제시된 연구방법을 충실히 이행하여 적절하고 정확한 금액을 산출해 내는 것이다. 하지만 자연휴양림의 환경가치는 시장에서 거래되지 않는 공공재의 성격이 강하기 때문에 이러한 공공재의 환경가치를 평가하는 여러 방법들을 고려하여 조건부가치측정법(Contingent Valuation Method: CVM)을 이용하여 자연휴양림의 휴양가치를 추정하였다. 조사대상지의 1인당 연간 휴양가치는 지불의사액(Wlingness To Pay: WTP) 중앙값 약 16,000원에서 WTP 평균값 약 25,400원 사이이며, 조사대상지 자연휴양림 1개소의 휴양가치는 연간 약 17억 원에서 27억 원 정도로 나타났다. 모집단으로 지정한 85개소 전국 국, 공유 자연휴양림의 연간 휴양가치는 약 1,400억 원에서 2,300억 원 사이로 추정하였다. 이 추정된 금액은 이용객들이 단순히 재화와 시간을 투자하면 언제든지 가질 수 있는 환경이지만 추정된 환경의 가치를 현재 통화량으로 제시함으로써 자연과 환경의 소중함을 알려 주고, 더 나은 휴양 만족을 느끼도록 하는데 의의가 있다고 할 수 있다.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the prime factors that affect user satisfaction of area and facilities in urban forests, to classify those factors, to find out factorial structure of user satisfaction about them, and then to suggest important indicators in the urban forest planning, design, and development. The survey research was done using the self-administered questionnaire method by the people in the city of the Pusan who participated in recreational activities in the Mt. Keumjung. Factor analysis was used to extract the prime factors related to the recreational satisfaction concerning the area and facilities of the urban forest by the SPSS program, and then prime factors were used to investigate the factorial structure of user recreational satisfaction in the urban forest by the LInear Structure RELation program. According to the factor analysis concerning the 13 variables, 4 prime factors by the statistical values were considered as effective, indicating, 'health and recreational facilities', 'convenience and management facilities','facilities for the physical and psychological training' and 'historical and cultural areas'. The results of the causal structure analysis were identified as having significant effects mutually on endogenous variables, 'overall recreational satisfaction of the areas and facilities in the Mt. Keumjung','health and recreational facilities','convenience and management facilities','facilities for the psychological training', and 'historical and cultural areas'. But exogenous variables which have significant effects on endogenous variables were also indentified. Overall fits of both causal model were very good. The hypothetical causal structural equation models based on the results found partially significant correlation between dndogenous variables and between envogenous and exogenous variables. These significant relationships indiate important factors and variables that should be considered in planning, design, and development of the urban forests. Therefore, development direction of the Mt. Keumjung has to be analyzed as significant factors concerning user recreational satisfaction in a systematic was, recognized as important variables for planning process. The plan for development and management also should reflect the natural conservation policy from the environmental conservation movement like natural conservation advertisement and environmental education.

Arguments against charging fees for use of recreational forests and parks generally rest on the assumption that the public sector has the responsibility to provide as many recreational opportunities as it can to all visitors in Korea. The entrance fee in recreational forests allowed some governmental resource management agencies to keep a portion of user fees generated on-site, instead of returning all revenue to the general treasury. Funded primarily through entrance, activity, parking, and mountain villa-use fees, this legislation has been successful in reducing the maintenance backlog for participating agencies. However, it is unclear what effect user fees might have on visitors attending interpretive programs and the benefits that agencies might receive from implementing this policy. From this point of view, this study is a similar case at the Visitor Center and Species Restoration Center at Jirisan in terms of fee-based field trips to the places. In this research, two hundred twenty-three visitors at the Visitor Center and Species Restoration Center at Jirisan National Park answered questions about their trips from 2005 to 2006. Results indicted that the ecoguide not only increased visitor's appreciation of the resource, but also enhanced their perceptions of the Korean National Park Service (KNPS) fee policies.
