This study aims to acquire basic data for creating a new landscape forest by examining and analyzing both current and desired images of a forest in a rural neighborhood park. Regarding the forest in Janggye Neighborhood Park, located in Janggye-myeon, Jangsu-gun, Jeollabuk-do Province, this study conducted a questionnaire, using one-on-one interviews, to survey residents in Janggye-myeon who visited the park, and a total of 58 questionnaire copies were used for analysis. The current image about the forest was analyzed as giving a common and non-mysterious impression, and the subjects did not notice seasonal changes very much. Overall, the residents had negative images about the current forest. The desired image of the forest is a forest that is amiable, beautiful, comfortable, safe, and pleasant. A t-test was conducted to identify differences between the current image and the desire image, and its results showed that there were significant differences in most variables. The factor group implying the forest image consists of fascination dimension and diversity dimension. When factor scores of the current image and the desired image were compared, there were bigger differences in the fascination dimension scores than in the diversity dimension scores. As a result, it is drew that it would be much more effective to prioritize images related to fascination dimension in creating a forest landscape in Janggye Neighborhood Park.
