The purpose of this study was to analyze the correlation between conservation activities and the development of tourism in the modern period in the Korean peninsula. The main building of Jangansa Temple, located in Mt. Geumgang, was repaired in the 1930s. During the repairs, the Japanese General-Government actively engaged in the development of Mt. Geumgang and raised funds for the operation of the Korean Peninsula through tourism revenue. The repair work was carried out under the influence of the Mt. Geumgang development project. And its influence is revealed by reviewing official documents recording repair work. This study tried to clarify the relationship between development and repair work through official documents.

계림은 자연관광과 역사문화의 관광 명소로 풍부한 자연관광자원과 문화․사회관광자원을 확보하고 있는 관광명소이다. 2009년에 관광지개발을 효율적으로 관리하고 추진하기 위하여 중국 정부는 계림에 국가관광종합실험구를 설립하여 본격적으로 관광권역개발을 추진하기 시작하였다. 그러나 계림의 관광지 개발은 많은 문제점을 안고 있어 국제관광지를 개발하는 데 과학적인 대책을 꺼내지 못하고 있다. 그리고 원래 존재한 단일한 관광지 개발구조 등 문제는 여전히 해결하지 못하고 있는 상황이다. 한국은 1970년대부터 관광권역개발에 착수하였고 현재 체계적인 관광관역개발제도를 형성하여 관광지 개발에 있어 많은 성공적인 경험도 쌓였다. 관광지의 분류에 의한 관광지지정제도, 관광법의 법적 보증 그리고 다양한 관광 지원정책 등 그 예들이다. 순천관광지의 개발은 바로 관광권역 개발전략의 현실화 중의 한 예이다. 우수한 관광자원에 의하여 순천은 관광자원의 보호, 관광권역계획의 편성, 제도․법적 보증, 관광지 선정과 지역경제 활성화, 편리한 교통서비스의 구축 등 일련의 대책을 통하여 관광지개발사업이 잘 이루어지고 있다. 한국의 성공적 관광권역개발전략은 계림관광지의 개발 사업에 일조가 될 수 있다.

Tourist destination remodeling project is the tourist destination activation program to promote underdeveloped tourist destination that the Ministry of Culture and Sports has been implementing as a pilot program since 2005. Since previous tourist destination development programs focused on developing facilities, they could not quite cope with the changes in the tourism paradigm. Especially for caves, they could not escape from the simple sightseeing for the characteristics of the resource were fit to the caves. These results failed to meet tourist demands to experience and participate that the number of tourists is continuously decreasing. To cope with the circumstances, the government introduced a pilot program, a comprehensive tourist destination reorganization plan designed to comprehensively promote the tourism contents development (software) that can differentiate the region such as the tourism activation programs, tourist destination management and operation system reorganization (humanware) along with the repair of facilities (hardware project). This study emphasized the participation of residents who are the actual subject of management and operation of tourist facilities and programs in the course of establishing the master plan for remodeling for Gossi Cave that it can be used as the reference for establishing remodeling plan based on resident participation in the future.

Hot springs development will be more activated with the five-day work week system than before. Nevertheless, investment and development achievement of hot springs has not resulted in a successful performance to foster townships, and this calls upon locals to build a guideline to develop hot springs. This study intends to analyze laws on hot springs, which influence mostly on the hot spring development, to gather up the information on the present state of the development, and to suggest considerations for further development plans. Features of the hot spring development are as follows: One is that metropolitan cities will discover hot spring resources more than small cities. Therefore the development will be twofold : one for resort tour and the other for one-day rest and recreation. In addition, Korean laws on hot springs are more site development-oriented to support tourism and recreation than to protect environment and discover unused resources. This makes hot spring development easier and efficient being supported by hot spring law, law on territory development and use, and tourism promotion law. On the other side, planned landscape trimming can be uniformized and unharmonized in terms of local identity and environment-friendliness. This is why careful considerations such as goods and bads of the local resources, local history and culture are needed in hot spring development. A long-term development project should include remodeling based on local identity and development trends. The third point indicates that Korean hot springs development has recorded relatively low performance due to difficult private capital attraction, and a high fence on land purchase and development approval. It is essential to release restrictions on the hot spring development-especially on those whose development performance has not been successful so that best practice can be supported by the government in remodeling and marketing. New plans on hot spring development should be also examined based on developer's capacity and local authorities' volition on the plan. Last point shows that most hot springs development plans have been designed only based on territory utilizing plan and facilities arrangement, not considering much on fund-raising, operational plan or feasibility analysis. Therefore the tourism promotion law should reinforce guidelines on tourist site approval system by supplementing criteria. At the same time, an education on tourism development planning is necessary to deepen developers' understanding, since most developers are experts more on city development, landscape architecture, designing, constructing and engineering than tourism development.
