This study aimed quantitatively to estimate the recent level of recognition of the public value of forests in Korea, to analyze the factors that affect their value, and to present implications. The average annual payment regarding the public value of forests estimated using the contingent valuation method was 234,170 won, broken down into 12 functionalities. The Tobit model was used to analyze demographic factors affecting the degree of willingness to pay, and the analysis showed that area of residence, age, marital status, occupation, household income, and visits to forest facilities all had statistically significant impacts on the degree of willingness to pay. Among these variables, living area (living in Seoul), marriage status (married), occupation (professional and office workers), and household income (more than the median income) were found to have a positive relationship with the degree of willingness to pay, while age and the number of visits to forest facilities were found to have a negative relationship. The implications are as follows: First, it is necessary to establish and implement policies to enhance positive perceptions of the various functions of forests and the legitimacy of protecting forest resources, considering that the public's valuation of various public functions provided by forests is directly related to changes in perception. Second, public evaluations of the public value of forests remain at a low level, meaning that education and promotions regarding the public value of forests need to be implemented and strengthened in the future. Finally, in order to form a consensus among people on the public functions of forests, customized promotions and educational events need to be implemented for non-Seoul residents, non-professionals, the unmarried, and for those who regularly visit forests.

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the difference in facilities of natural recreation forests developed by public and private body to answer the research that what is the difference in development of natural recreation forest between public and private developer\ulcorner After reviewing the literatures, developer's decision-making and motivation of investment, and the planning process of natural recreation forest, we had constructed th conceptual framework and have found the hypothesis of this research. Using data on development status of natural recreation forests and questionnaire surveying of 625 visitors from 9 among 72 natural recreation forests in Korea, We analyzed the data through the comparison of quantity of facilities per 1000 visitors and logistic regression method for quality of facilities. We have found that 1) the six facilities have been turned out to be statistically significant in determining the difference of public and private recreation forests. i.e., infrastructure including roads, maintenance and information and lodging and evacuation, indoor education, outdoor education, and shopping, 2) public recreation forests are well equipped such basic facility as roads, maintenance and information, lodging and evacuation while private recreation forests are well equipped such facility as indoor education, outdoor education, and shopping, and 3) the importance of such facility as roads, maintenance and information, lodging and evacuation, outdoor education, and shopping have been turned out to have 1.99, 2.26, 1.99, 3.01 and 2.24 times more important than that of indoor education, respectively. We can conclude that public recreation forest seems to be equipped with the facilities for sound recreational opportunities for general public, and private recreation forest turned out to have more facilities for pursuit of profits, installed basic facilities for user convenience and service, and special facilities for attracting user and raising revenue. Using the results of this research, we can make a guideline for a market positioning, and standards and provisions of natural recreation forests. We suggest that the relationship between user-satisfaction and recreation facility is needed to be examined in the future research.

Forests are valuable natural resources for people living around the mountains. In particular, the comfortable feeling or healing is one of the most important benefits obtained from forests. This healing can be possible by many aspects of forests, including the landscape, natural sounds, anions, and pleasant aromas. We focused on the volatile organics from forest causing pleasant aromas, phytoncides. Twenty phytoncides were monitored from February to September in a national tree garden (BaekDoDaeGan SooMokWon). Five sites were monitored two times per month and 20 phytoncides were detected. Borneol showed the highest annual average concentration and the order of concentration was borneol > mycene > sabinene > limonene > α-pinene. The average phytoncide concentration was relatively high in spring and summer season when the trees were physiologically active. Daily monitoring showed that the afternoon hours had higher concentrations of phytoncides than the morning hours, which may be due to the stabilized atmospheric conditions at the sites. Among the five sites, coniferous forests gave higher phytoncide emissions than broadleaf tree forests. The current study showed that forests produce several phytoncides that cause a healing effect and a forest bath may be beneficial to the health of visitors to forests.

이 연구의 목적은 오래전부터 인정되어온 산하주민(山下主民)들의 관습적인 산림이용권이 일제하 산림소유권의 재편과정을 겪으면서 어떻게 처리되었는가를 밝히는 데 있다. "어느 지역의 주민이 집합체의 관계로 촌락공유림(村落共有林)이나 타인의 토지에서 초목, 야생물 및 토사의 채취, 방목 기타의 수익을 하는 권리"로 정의할 수 있는 관습적인 산림이용권은 총유(總有)와 특수지역권(特殊地役權)으로 구분할 수 있으며, 그러한 권리가 적용되는 산림을 촌락공유림(村落共有林) 및 특수지역림(特殊地役林)으로 구분할 수 있다. 이러한 관습적인 산림이용권은 삼림법(森林法)(1908), 삼림령(森林令)(1911), 조선임야조사사업(朝鮮林野調査事業)(1917~1924) 및 조선특별연고삼림양여사업(朝鮮特別緣故森林讓與事業)(1926~1934)을 거치면서 그 권리가 사유(私有) 또는 공유(公有)로 전환 해체되었다. 특히, 조선특별연고삼림양여사업(朝鮮特別緣故森林讓與事業)의 결과 관습적인 산림이용권은 소유권과 이용행태의 측면에서 큰 변화를 초래했다. 즉, 소유권이 공유(共有)(연고(緣故) 포함)에서 사유(私有) 또는 공유(公有)로 전환되었고 관습적인 산림이용권의 핵심내용인 집합체로서의 공장이용권이 해체된 것이다.

국유림은 사유림에 비해 높은 수준의 자본과 기술, 노동력을 투입할 수 있고 상대적으로 집약적인 관리가 가능하다. 따라서 국유림은 장기적인 목재 수요에 대비한 산림자원의 비축기지로서의 역할뿐만 아니라, 사회가 필요로 하는 산림의 다양한 기능을 안정적으로 발휘할 수 있어야 한다. 하지만 현재 국유림은 4영급 이상인 임분이 대부분으로, 영급이 불균형한 상태에서 목재수확기에 도달하고 있다. 따라서 체계적인 경영계획에 의한 목재수확이 이루어지지 않으면 국유림의 다양한 기능의 지속성을 보장하기 어렵다. 본 연구는 국유림의 영급구조를 개선하면서도 경제적·공익적 기능을 지속가능하게 유지하기 위한 국유림의 적정 목재생산량을 추정하는 것을 목표로 하였다. 이를 위해 먼저 국유림 내에서 목재생산에 적합한 지역을 분석하고, 다목적 선형기법을 적용하여 경제적 기능과 공익적 기능을 동시에 고려할 수 있는 산림경영계획모델을 개발하였다. 분석 결과, 국유림 내 목재생산 적합 지역의 면적은 약 488천ha로, 이를 중심으로 목재수확을 적절하게 관리하면 영급분포가 개선되고 공익적 기능도 지속가능하게 유지되는 것으로 나타났다. 향후 100년 동안 국유림에서 생산 가능한 목재량은 연평균 약 200만m³으로, 이는 연간 국산목재 공급량의 44% 수준을 차지하는 것으로 나타났다.

이 연구는 국유림과 같은 공공부문의 산림면적에 영향을 미치는 요인을 도출하고, 우리나라 국유림의 적정 면적을 파악하는데 목적이 있다. OECD 가입국인 35개국을 대상으로 국 공유림률과 1인당 국 공유림면적을 종속변수로 하여 영향을 미치는 15개의 독립변수를 가지고 선형회귀분석을 실시하였다. 분석 결과, 우리나라의 적정 국공유림면적은 OECD 가입국을 기준으로 최소 약 2,136천ha에서 최대 2,667천ha로 나타났다. 우리나라 2010년도 국 공유림면적이 1,984천ha이기 때문에 우리나라는 국 공유림 면적을 적게는 152천ha에서 많게는 683천ha까지 늘리는 것이 OECD국가의 평균수준에 달하는 것으로 나타났다. 우리나라 국 공유림면적의 확대는 지자체림의 증가를 통해서 확보하기는 현실적으로 불가능하기 때문에 국유림을 확대하여 확대하는 것이 타당할 것으로 판단된다.

Japan is one of the major forest-rich countries in the world with two thirds of its national territory covered with forests. The various functions of forests, including the prevention of global warming, conservation of national land, recharging of water resources, and maintenance of biotic diversity, play an important role in our safe, secure, and comfortable living. With the increasing national expectations on the role of forests to contribute to the prevention of global warming and "Accelerating forest carbon-sink measures to achieve Kyoto Protocol Commitment", it is necessary to make efforts toward a large-scale forest regeneration in order to secure an absorption of 13 million carbon tons through forest carbon sink for the achievement of the target of six percent reduction under the Kyoto Protocol. Most importantly, however, is to accelerate the measures for forests as absorption sources, including thinning and other forestry management activities. However, there is a situation, among others, where thinning is not implemented properly due to the decreased willingness of forest owners to manage forests, because of the long-term low demand for domestic lumber and lumber prices. In addition, forestry workers are aging and decreasing in number. Thus, the circumstances surrounding forestry are severe. It is necessary for the protection of our precious forests to make efforts to create and maintain forests with activities that involve citizens such as the "National Movement for Utsukushii Mori Zukuri(Fostering Beautiful Forests)".

Purpose: In recent years, many attempts have been made to examine the effects of forest therapy on health and to develop related policies. This study aimed to explore the current status of health promotion programs using forests provided by public health centers and to identify program diffusion strategies employed within different communities. Methods: For this descriptive study, we analyzed the 5th regional public health care program plans and explored the perceptions of health care workers attached with the programs using open-ended questionnaires and a focus group interview. Results: This study confirmed the necessity for health promotion programs using forests, as well as administrative and educational demands for such programs. The target population of the programs ranged from individuals with specific diseases to healthy local residents. In addition, the programs covered a wide range of topics, including disease management and health promotion strategies. However, the number of well-structured regional specialized programs remained limited. Collaboration among local governments, schools, and public health centers was found to be ineffective. Conclusion: To further disseminate health promotion programs using forests, the central government will need to develop well-structured programs, provide funding and resources to support local governments, and focus on raising public awareness of the health benefits of forest therapy.

Beopseongpo has been one of the most thriving ports of the Jeolla region since the Goryeo Dynasty (918-1392). During the time of King Seongjong (r. 1469-1494) of Choseon Dynasty, a navy garrison had been deployed and the port was named Beopseongjin, as recorded in the 1485 edition of Grand code for state administration (Gyeongguk daejeon). Dangsan forests and Bibo forests have been maintained by local residents since hundreds of years ago. Dangsan forests have been applied to the scale of government and public offices. The objectives of this study were to understand the characteristics of the "Wooded Fortress of Beopseongjin in Yeonggwang" as "Scenic Site No. 22", and to investigate the conservational problem of the wooded fortress of Beopseongjin and seashore. The "Wooded fortress of Beopseongjin in Yeonggwang" consists of a Dangsan forest and two Bibo forests. But, the presence of the Dangsan forest has not been well known to the public. Although the wooded fortress has been somewhat disturbed by cultural activities, the Dangsan rituals have been held until the present every January 15 by lunar calendar. On the other hand, the seashore in front of Beopseongpo plays an important role as a scenic view. It was one of the reason that the "Wooded fortress of Beopseongjin in Yeonggwang" had been designated as a national cultural property of "Scenic Sites". However, the sandbar was reclaimed in 2009 to build commercial buildings. An integrated plan should be prepared to conserve the landscape of "Wooded fortress of Beopseongjin in Yeonggwang", which requires close partnership among local residents, experts, and local government. At present, four new buildings have been built. Although we have lost the sandbar, it is indispensable to secure the visibility of Wooded Fortress of Beopseongjin at the entrance of the village.
