This study investegated the positive effect of the urban agriculture experience program on the mental health of the elderly by measuring the mental health indices of stress and depression. The research subjects included an experiment group of seniors over 65 years old who participated in the program for over six months and a control group of seniors, whom resided in the same city. Stress and depression were surveyed as mental health indices, and the physiological disparity was measured to clarify the disparity in the autonomic nervous system. The collected data were analyzed with t-test using the SPSS WIN 12.0. The results of the stress index analysis revealed that, in terms of communication, stress scores related to loneliness were statistically significantly lower for the experiment group than the control group. Also, in terms of health, the stress levels of the experiment group tended to be significantly lower than the control group. The depression index analysis showed the control group had a much higher level of depression than the experiment group with considerably significant disparity. The autonomic nervous system analysis revealed the stress index was significantly lower for the experiment group than the control group, and also, in terms of pulse diversity, the experiment group was within the range of normality, whereas the control group was exposed to the influence of chronic stress. The research results showed that urban agriculture activities applied to the elderly stabilizes the sympathetic nerve and activates the parasympathetic nerve to increase the resistance against stress.

Community gardens provide the community with a green area for its residents to enjoy and socially interact with other gardeners. The expected benefits of participating in a community garden, aside from greater access to fresh produce, include increased mental health as well as improved general well-being stemming from increased exercise and socialization. The following is the research result conducted to provide a basic data for the construction of a community garden in a village. Once a community garden is put in place, the residents would intend to utilize it for their rest, stroll, exercise and appreciation. The number of respondents who would use a garden more than once a week turned out to be high, the reason behind which is construed as their willingness to utilize the garden as a place where they could relatively spend more leisure time later on given that the higher the respondents’ age became, the more often they would use the garden. Furthermore, as weekday afternoons’ or weekend afternoons’ participation has been high, it would be desirable if the garden revitalization or a community programs were conducted in line with this timeframe. The efficiency of the community garden would be enhanced when it is located within one kilometer where a person can walk in about 20 minutes. It is anticipated that once the community garden is built, it would be utilized as local residents’ hobby place and that it could serve as urban green space conducive to improving the landscape of a village, and overall, there are high expectations relating to this. As living infrastructure, the community garden can be utilized not just as a space for local residents’ leisure activities and rest areas but for their interactions. Thus, it is estimated that instead of applying a cookie-cutter garden design to all communities, a formulation of a garden needs to be made in a way that designs the space reflective of the characteristics of a community and that introduces needed facilities.

This study was carried out to provide the basic informations on the sustainable management methods for soil resources by determining the soil physico-chemical properties of specialized plant gardens (Sedum garden, Fern garden, Medicinal plant garden, Ornament plant garden, Rare & endemic plant garden, and Shrub garden) and forest in Korea National Arboretum. Soil particle size showed similar distribution except for Sedum garden and Medicinal plant garden. Soil bulk densities were significantly difference among forest and specialized plant garden (p<0.05) and ranged from 0.79 g/cm 3 in Sedum garden to 1.13 g/cm 3 in shrub garden. Sedum garden and medicinal plant garden showed significantly low of soil moisture content (p<0.05). Soil pH ranged from 4.87 in Sedum garden to 5.41 in rare & endemic plant garden. Soil organic matter content ranged from 2.61% in Sedum garden to 4.71% in forest. The lower value in total N content was 0.11% in Sedum garden and 0.18% in medicinal plant garden. Available phosphorus was significantly lower in Sedum garden and medicinal plant garden than in other specialized plant garden of ranging from 16.90 ppm to 20.34 ppm (p<0.05). The contents of inorganic NH4 + and NO3 - were significantly different among the specialized plant gardens (p<0.05). The ratios of NO3 - to total inorganic N content ranged from 28% in Sedum garden to 44% in fern garden and forest. N mineralization and nitrification rate were also significantly different among the specialized plant gardens (p<0.05).

A chi-square test was performed in terms of MBTI personality types and horticultural preferences, where the MBTI personality types were obtained from the predicted results from the typical expressions of the Korean Psychological Testing Institute’s self-speculation MBTI preference indicator. The analysis results were organized into two types: intuition type and sensing type. The results suggest that the intuition type preferred the herbs with fragrances, while the sensing type showed their preference towards flowering plants. Also, there were significant differences between the intuitive and sensing types with respect to ‘five senses that are the most stimulating in the horticultural process’, ‘plant characteristics’ and ‘interesting horticultural activities’, which imply that different types have different choices. In the comparison between thinking type and feeling type, the thinking type showed their interest in the overall shape of the plant, while the feeling type showed their first interest in the flowers of the plants. The result showed that thinking type and feeling type had a significant difference in terms of ‘degree of preferences in horticultural activities’, ‘initially interested plant tissues’, ‘five senses that are the most stimulating in the horticultural process’ and ‘effects of horticultural activities’. Regarding the judging type and perceiving type in their choices of plant characteristics, the judging type preferred flower plants, while perceiving type preferred herbs with fragrances. The results of self-speculation MBTI personality test showed significant differences according to the personality types, regarding the most interested plant tissue and plant characteristics, which leads to a difference in their choices.

The objective of this research was to understand the role of table floral decorations through the examination of the relationships that exist between satisfaction level and reuse intention which both result from one’s cognitive reactions and emotional effects from encountering table floral decorations in party catering. The survey was conducted to gather data from respondents about their cognitive reactions, emotional effects, satisfaction level, and reuse intention on table floral decorations being used as a part of party catering. The results of hierarchical multiple regression analysis between the cognitive factor and satisfaction level showed that ‘mood’ (β=0.404, p<0.001) and ‘artistry’ (β=0.288, p<0.001), among cognitive sub-factors of ‘artistry’, ‘mood’, and ‘harmony’, had large portions of positive effect on the satisfaction level, while harmony (p=0.494) did not show a significant effect on the satisfaction level. Examining the sub-factors of the emotional factor, ‘dignified’ (β=0.420, p<0.001) was shown to have a larger effect on the satisfaction level than ‘unique’ (β=0.263, p<0.001). From the Pearson correlation coefficient (r=0.827), high satisfaction level had a causal link to high reuse intention. Party catering will inevitably grow with the growth of Korea’s national income and as the leisure industry further develops, the main contribution of this research is that it provides various approaches to conducting segmented research on table floral decorations in party catering.

The object of this study is about ‘how a place make meaning to people’. This study starts with understanding internal mechanism of generative meaning through following a blog as a case study. With Greimassian perspective, meaning is not fixed but is being made through trajectory; deep structure, surface structure and discoursive structure. And this kind of hermeneutic approach can provide better understanding with in-depth insight. As a result of the study, 4 main key findings are summarized as follows. At first, there is smallest meaning (seme) in a form of semiotic square in deep structure. Secondly, there is a story that visitor wants to acquire the value of place. Thirdly, this narrative is found in behavior and words of visitor. Finally, meaning is in dynamic process and people participate in it where meaning is generated.

Scientific analysis and inter-Korean cooperation are needed to reduce North Korea’s environmental pollution and deforestation. Many efforts to reduce North Korea’s environmental issue have a fundamental weakness because they are generally influenced by internal and political conditions. To overcome such a weakness, two approaches may be effective; the first is to use new technology such as Google Earth and the second is to build collaborative governance that is invulnerable to political conditions. This study focuses on building collaborative governance models based on Google Earth data investigation, a previous research’s release of Google Earth database, and literature review of North Korea’s environmental issues. This research’s results are as follows. First, North Korea’s industrial regions suffer from environmental pollution and many other regions experience severe deforestation according to Google Earth-based spatial images. Second, we can discern environmental pollution such as air pollution, water pollution, soil pollution, and deforestation using Google Earth-based spatial image. In reality, we are able to identify deforestation and partially soil pollution with Google Earth-based spatial image. Third, there are different environmental problems among North Korea’s local regions. South Korea has to prepare and plan various collaborative governance models depending on North Korea’s local needs on environmental problems.

This study investigated the background thoughts and geographical characteristics of the trees planted in Soswaewon garden located in Damyang, Jeollanam-do, South Korea. This study also investigated the tree species in the early years of the garden and their chronological changes. The number of trees planted in Soswaewon garden is presently 135 in 22 species, which consists of 107 arboreals in 15 species and shrubs in 7 species. Tree species which showed high frequency rates were Zelkova serrata, Lagerstroemia indica, Acer palmatum, Sophora japonica and Rhododendron indicum. The background thoughts of these trees were Feng Shui, Yin Yang, and Confucianism for Zelkova serrata; Shin-sun, Taoism, and Confucianism for Lagerstroemia indica; Confucianism for Acer palmatum; Shin-sun, Taoism, and Confucianism for Sophora japonica. Rhododendron indicum was planted just for decoration without any particular background thoughts. In exploring geographical characteristics, all of 5 trees species were found to grow well everywhere in southern regions of Korea, especially in maritime climate of the south west coasts. Literature survey revealed the tree species planted in the early years of the garden. Back in 1548 when Soswaewon was first established, there were 11 tree species growing, then 12 species in 1755, 28 species in 1983, 23 species in 1999, and 24 species in 2012. At present, there are 22 tree species growing in Soswaewon garden.

This study is conducted to investigate users recognition on wild flowers as garden plants, and to suggest methods of improving the competitiveness of wild flowers compared to ornamental flowers. 1,000 people with purchasing power were selected as a population from all across Korea and an online questionnaire survey was conducted on them. The survey questionnaire was divided into four parts, such as information about plants that they have, perception level of wild flower, purchasing behavior and spending habit of wild flower and circumstances for the industrialization of wild flowers. First, Korean people have 3.22 plants per family but wild flower accounts for a very low percentage. Second, regarding the perception of wild flower, the purchase frequency of wild flower is lower than that of other plants. Third, regarding purchasing behavior of wild flower, wild flower had lower competitiveness than introduced plants in flower market but some wild flowers including a lily of the valley, a dicentra, a pasqueflower and aceriphyllum rossi were competitive in the market. Forth, the purchase frequency of processed products made of wild flowers is higher. Fifth, 80% of the people surveyed have visited festivals associated with industrialization of wild flowers. Based on the results, increasing frequency of exposure of wild flowers focused on botanical garden and arboretum, offering management information and technologies of wild flowers to public and promoting wild flowers through festivals can be solutions to enhance competitiveness of wild flowers. To enhance garden culture, a wide range of researches need to be conducted on what kind of plants people use for the construction of garden and the relation between gardener and plants, and different approaches and attempts are needed.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness of the forest healing program for improving the mental health of urban elderly people. Most participants were over 70 years old (87%) among total participants (46 people). The period was from May 5, 2015 to September, 4, 2015. During the experiment, research was stopped for one month due to the spread of Mers. The 46 subjects who were over 60 years old were divided into 4 groups by the number of participation (0, 4, 8, 12 times). Psychiatric tests and blood melatonin concentration test were performed before and after the experiment and the mean difference was determined by the corresponding sample t-test. Differences between the groups were analysed by ANOVA analysis. The change of melatonin concentration was examined by enzyme immunoassay. According to the result of the psychiatric test, mental health of the aged people who did not participate in the forest healing program was worse than 16 weeks ago. People who participated 4 times also had worse mental health. 8 and 12 times participated people showed improved mental health which indicate the need of long-term forest healing for mental health. The result of melatonin test showed that blood melatonin did not increase in the elderly people who did not participate, whereas blood melatonin of the elderly who participated for 12 times showed an increase tendency. This result is similar with the previous study, which suggested that melatonin can be increased by activity of body stimulation or mood change. In conclusion, we can say that forest healing programs have a positive effect on the mental health of elderly people. However, this study had several limitations. There is a need for follow-up studies to study age and individual differences, and to identify differences between periods
