Abstract

The preference of general adult on the forest and forest road was surveyed and analyzed for the development of forest therapy program. This study was conducted for the purpose of providing a basis for the development of more targeted-and differentiated-forest therapy program by analyzing the preference of general adult on the forest and forest road from 19 April 2014 to 30 June 2014 through on-line survey. The sample group of 613 adults has been used in practical analysis. Using SPSS 21.0, We looked at the preference differences of the forest and forest road according to the demographic characteristics(sex, age, education level, occupation and monthly income) through descriptive statistics analysis, frequency analysis, cross tabulation analysis, multiple response analysis. The seasonal preference was spring, autumn, any season, summer, winter in order and there was a significant difference according to one's sex, age, occupation and monthly income. There was a significant difference in the configuration of forest according to one's monthly income. The favorite type of forest as a place of forest healing program was natural recreational forest, healing forest, urban forest, park, school forest in order. There was no significant difference in the favorite forest type regarding to the distance to the healing place from one's residence in all cases. There was a significant difference in the type of forest according to one's monthly income. The most favorite configuration of forest road was gentle sloped road. Once walking into the forest for the purpose of healing, the favorite forest road length was 1.5~3 km, less then 1.5 km, more than 3 km in order and there was a significant difference in preference according to one's sex, age, education level and monthly income. We believe that the healing program should be differentiated from the general form of it according to one's sex, age, education level, occupation and monthly income as a result of this investigation of preference of general adult on the forest and forest road for the development of forest therapy program. In particular, we believe that the differentiated program should be offered according to one's age. We expect this analysis to be used as a basis for the development of forest therapy program.

본 연구는 산림치유 프로그램 개발을 위한 일반 성인의 숲과 숲길의 선호도에 관한 연구이다. 숲과 숲길의 선호도에 대한 수요자 선호를 파악하여 보다 표적화되고 차별화된 산림치유 프로그램의 개발을 위한 기초자료 제공을 목적으로 실시하였다. 이를 위해, 잠재 수요자인 일반 성인 남 여를 대상으로 2014년 4월 19일부터 6월 30일까지 온라인 설문으로 숲과 숲길의 선호에 관한 설문조사를 실시하였다. 본 연구에서는 총 613부의 유효표본이 실제 분석에 사용되었다. 자료분석은 SPSS 21.0 프로그램을 사용하여 기술통계분석, 빈도분석, 교차분석, 다중응답분석을 통해 인구통계학적 특성(성별, 연령, 교육수준, 직업, 월평균 가계 소득)에 따른 숲과 숲길의 선호도의 차이를 살펴보았다. 분석 결과, 선호하는 계절의 숲은 봄, 가을, 계절 상관없음, 여름, 겨울 순으로 나타났고, 성별, 연령, 월평균 가계 소득에 따라 선호도에 유의한 차이가 있는 것으로 조사되었다. 선호하는 상태의 숲은 월평균 가계 소득에 따라 선호도에 유의한 차이가 있는 것으로 조사되었다. 산림치유 프로그램 장소로서 선호하는 숲은 자연휴양림, 치유의 숲, 도시숲, 공원, 학교숲 순으로 응답하였다. 거주지로부터 프로그램 장소까지의 거리에 따른 선호하는 숲을 조사한 결과 모든 경우에 대해 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 없게 나타났다. 숲길의 형태에 관해서는 약간의 경사가 있는 길을 가장 선호하는 것으로 조사되었다. 산림치유 목적으로 1회 걸을 때 선호하는 숲길의 길이는 1.5~3km, 1.5km이하, 3km 이상 순으로 나타났고, 성별과 연령, 교육, 월평균 가계 소득, 교육에 따라 선호도에 유의한 차이가 있는 것으로 조사되었다. 이러한 산림치유 프로그램 개발을 위한 일반성인의 숲과 숲길조사를 통하여, 성별, 연령, 교육수준, 직업, 월평균 가계 소득에 따라 숲과 숲길에서의 프로그램에 차별성을 두어야 할 것으로 판단된다. 특히, 연령에 따라 차별화된 프로그램이 제공되어야 할 것으로 판단된다. 본 연구 분석 결과가 성인을 대상으로 하는 산림치유 프로그램 개발을 위한 기초자료로 활용되기를 기대한다.
