The purpose of this study is to investigate a vegetation structure around Tongdosa temple forest and provincial park and to provide preliminary data. In order to look over the vegetation status, an actual vegetation map was drawn around study area. Vegetation structure survey was carried out for 6 representative communities of actual vegetation which were Quercus variavilis community, Carpinus tschonoskii community, Pinus densiflora community, P. densiflora-Broadleaf deciduous Forest community, Q. mongolica community and Broadleaf deciduous Forest community. The area of the Tongdosa district measured 29,202,262 ㎡. Actual vegetation type were divided into 35 types, and the ratio of Q. variavilis community was 32.35 % (9,447,932 ㎡). To investigate the structure of 6 representative communities, 58 plots were set up and unit area plots measured 100 ㎡. The estimated age of the forest is 50~100-years-old and the oldest tree P. densiflora is 113-years-old.
