도시근교 자연휴양림의 이용객 특성과 이용행태 : 비슬산 자연휴양림을 사례로 = The visitors' characteristics and behaviors in urban fringe natural recreation forest

국문 초록 (Abstract)

원래 자연휴양림은 대국민 휴양서비스의 제공과 산촌지역주민의 소득증대를 목표로 개발되었으나, 실제 개발방법이나 분위기가 일반 유원지 및 관광지과 뚜렷한 차별성을 찾아보기 어렵다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해서는 휴양림 이용객의 이용행태 및 만족도에 관한 연구가 전제된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 비슬산 자연휴양림을 연구대상으로 이용객속성, 이용행태 그리고 만족도를 분석하여 개발방향을 제시하고자 한다. 비슬산 자연휴양림은 2계절형(여름ㆍ가을), 주말형, 당일이용형, 통과형 자연휴양림의 특성을 지니고 있다. 이러한 특성을 결정하는 가장 중요한 요소는 ‘접근성’이며, 이는 휴양림 이용객속성과 이용행태에 결정적인 영향을 미친다. 휴양림의 유인력을 높이기 위해서는 다양한 측면에서의 접근성 제고가 최우선과제이다. 그리고 기대도에 비해 만족도가 낮은 활동 및 시설의 보완 그리고 산촌지역주민들의 소득증대라는 측면에서의 임산물 생산기능과 관광기능을 연계하는 대책도 강구되어야 할 것이다. 결론적 편의시설 위주의 현 개발방식의 재검토가 요구된다.

Recreation and leisure activities are recently increased and spread over all the social classes. Many people interest in natural recreation forest for recreation and leisure, and then the number of visitors is rapidly increased. There are few studies on the visitors' characteristics and behaviors.
The purpose of this study was to analyze the socio-economic characteristics of visitors and their behaviors of Mt. Bisul natural recreation forest [BNRF], which is located in the close to a large city, Taegu. The data were collected by interviewing 59 visitors with a constructed questionnaire in BNRF.
Like general natural recreation forest, BNRF is two season(summer, fall) and weekend type. In the socio-economic characteristics of visitors in BNRF, the noticeable characteristics of visitors were that the sex ratio was 1.17 and the high proportion of visitors of BNRF worked in professionㆍfreelancer and housewife. Most lodgers of BNRF were from Taegu and attracted by lodge itself.
In terms of the visitors' behaviors in BNRF, the visit motivation in BNRF was accessibility and convenience of facilities. The informations were obtained by face-to-face. Most visitors were with their families and 3 to 9 persons. Most visitors traveled less than one hour to arrive in BNRF. The tour course of BNRF was mainly a piston type and a key type. The resource-used activities such as resting, walk, and talks with companions were preferred, and walk road and log cabin were most convenient.
In the satisfaction for activities, most visitors of BNRF were satisfied with forest-recreational activities such as walkㆍforest-bathing, but not satisfied with sightseeing or exploring of adjacent resorts and forest products & local foods. This was resulted from no famous tourist resorts near BNRF.
The level of satisfaction was more low than the level of expectation, generally. The gaps between two levels were considerable in watetplay and forest products. In BNRF the activities of waterplay and forest products should be developed to enhance the level of satisfaction.
The studies on the visitors' characteristics and behaviors in the natural recreation forest are required to help develop natural recreation forest to compete with recreation resorts and make to improve the marketability. This study contributes to help make programs to attract more people to natural recreation forest and to improve the facilities that people want.
