이용객의 이용압력에 의한 토양 및 식생에 대한 영향을 알아보고자 부산시의 어린이대공원과 금강공원의 이용 통제구역과 이용지역내에 20개의 조사구를 설치하고 본 조사를 실시하였다. 토양경도는 이용지역에서 평균90kg/ cm2 이상을 보여 식물생장에 지장을 주었고 이용객통제에 따른 토양경도의 완화효과가 있었으나 다른 토양특성들은 그 효과가 나타나지 않았다. 식물군집분석결과 이용압력에 의해 특히 관목층식생의 피해가 매우 컸으며 종다양성을 떨어뜨리게 하는 결과를 보였다. 그러나 단기간(2년)의 이용객통제는 식생의 자연복원과 종다양성 증진에 좋은 작용을 하고 있었다.
This study was executed to investgate the impacts of vegetation and soil characteristics on the user's impact in Children's Park and Kumkang Park, Pusan. In survey sites, twenty plots of 100m2 size were set up. The degree of soil hardness was showed above 90kg/ cm2 in using area, which was prevented to the plants growth. The user's control was effective to the soil surface softening, while that effects of the other soil characteristics were not cleared. In the analysis of Plant community structure, especially, shrub vegetation was severely damaged. And the user's impact was due to the lowering of species and maximum species diversity. The recreation area protection of the two years was positively operated to the natural vegetation restoration and species diversity enhancement.
