The central government was provide for the world of best aging speed, Ministry of Health and Welfare, Ministry of Education, Science and Technology, Ministry of Employment and Labor etc. as union of government set a 「the second plan about low rate of childbirth and aging society」and established a goal of making familiar social environment for senescence. accordantly, Korea Forest Service also brought forward a 「G7 forest welfare service by lifetime」and formed the basis of forest service to the whole lifetime from birth to death. forest welfare service by lifetime is supporting diverse program whole age such as forest programs for prenatal eduction, a forest kindergarten, forest programs for experience eduction, forest recreations and sports, forest for resting and healing, a tree funeral etc. however, Of the whole age, service for senescence nearly has not been done. And that was the issue of this study. Therefore, this study aims to find activating solutions of forest service and forest welfare-policy for senescence.
Checked on the Plan of moving ahead in detail of forest welfare-policy for senescence, it focuses on activating a forest service for change of air and forest volunteering service. At this study, focused on the first one. Activating solutions of forest welfare-policy for senescence can conclude as follows.
First of solutions make connect with Long-term Care Insurance, it is called social insurance of the fifth, for third-grade persons who is able to receive insurance benefits. They will receive monthly benefits up to 878,900won from social insurance. So if it use, a lot of elderly people could be gave high quality forest healing service. But, it have to be established a cooperation system with Ministry of Health and Welfare and NHIS(National Health Insurance Service) so as to act a new service.
Second of solutions make connect with Integrated Care Service for senescence. The subjects are underprivileged senescence in social as elderly people over sixty-five years of age who have senile disease and aside form grade people who is able to receive the long-term care service, 1 to 3 grade of handicapped people. This service is different from Long-term Care Insurance in service time and benefits but forest welfare service will give for senescence as the government expenditure that is a meaning. Also it have to be established a cooperation with municipal governments.
The third, this study suggest to create a Voucher system for Forest healing service. The Forest healing Voucher is issued by a ratio of 70 : 30 rate as the green-foundation using for the underprivileged people and the government expenditure, and then offer to underprivileged senescence in social. It is important to be established a cooperation with municipal governments and to make gradual activation.
Finally, this study propose founding the Forest Healing Town for senescence, it can be applied foregoing three activating solution. The Forest Healing Town means that a "forest healing week protection town" for healing and a change of air by using the health promotion factors from diverse forest environment. To balanced land development, the forest healing town divided to 6 part of nation will be planning as long-term policy. This study suggest among the central part of them that is located national mountain 136-1, Kang-chon ri, Nam-san meon, Kang-won do and the area is about 15ha. This plan is not relative to a real plan of operation but it can be the showing model for activating forest healing policy. accordingly it is including a basis conception, a master plan, a business plan.
Because this study is considered the public benefit and business profitability on forest healing activity, I judge the feasible plan. Of course, preventing disease and promoting health for underprivileged senescence in social, also it help forest-welfare and forest healing activity for them.
