생태민감지역 내 트레일 이용객 인식연구 : 평화누리길을 중심으로 = Trail user perception on ESA : focused on a natural trail

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

There are explosive interests in eco-friendly leisure activities such as trekking. Trekking is one of most popular recreational activities which is based on trails in natural areas. Development of trekking courses in environmentally sensitive areas relies heavily on natural trail uses that could encourage sustainable leisure and recreation. Environmentally sensitive areas, in other words, fragile ecosystem areas need to be protected by government regulation because of its landscape, wildlife and/or historical value (Victoria, 1989). On the other hand, their vulnerable landscape is also spotlighted by stakeholders who desire to explore and experience its primitive condition. One of most sustainable means to adopt those requests is to plan natural trails and corridors. Despite increasing attention to planning trails in environmentally sensitive areas, research has rarely examined the human-perception on trails and how perception may relate to planning and management.
This study is to examine user perception of a trekking course called Pyeonghwa Nuri Gil in a potential environmentally sensitive area in Korea. The study investigated to specify interrelationships between such variables including NEP (New Environmental Paradigm), constraints, motivation, and loyalty. Samples are selected from a trekking event using random sampling method. Results of study as follows.
The relationship between NEP and constraints was statistically significant (p<0.01, r=-0.152). It might be inferred that visitors who indicated more environmentally-oriented awareness were likely to be constrained to visit the site. A significant positive relationship between constraints and motivation to the site was explained about 23% of the variance (p<0.01, r=0.229). Results also indicated that motivation was significantly correlated with loyalty (p<0.01, r=0.491).
Results provided some essential information as trail planning guideline from user perspective. In addition, the study can assist planners, designers, and managers of trekking trails in environmentally sensitive areas at several points: environmental conservation, preservation of historical and cultural value, provision of place for eco-friendly leisure activities. The implication suggested might be used as trail planning and development guidelines in other environmentally sensitive areas.
