최근 공동체 활성화 및 도시경관 향상을 위해 공동체정원을 조성하는 움직임이 활발히 진행되고 있으며 다양한 공모사업이 추진되고 있다. 공동체정원 조성은 지속적으로 증가하고 있으나 조성 방향 및 기능에 관한 연구와 고찰은 미진한 편이다. 이에 따라 본 연구는 공동체정원 조성을 위한 기본방향 설정에 필요한 기초자료를 제시하기 위하여 실시하였다. 연구는 도시민 320명을 대상으로 거주유형에 따라 공동체 정원의 조성방향 및 기대효과, 참여도 등을 조사하였다. 도시민은 공동체정원의 필요성을 높게 인식하고 있으며, 공동주택에 비하여 단독 주택 거주민의 요구도가 높다. 공동체정원의 쾌적성과 심미성 측면의 기능을 중요하게 평가하며 단독주택 거주민은 어린이의 생태체험 제 공의 교육적 효과를 우선하였으나 공동주택 거주민은 녹지공간 확보의 쾌적성과 심리적 안정감을 중요하게 인식한다. 공동체정원의 조성 으로 생활환경개선과 주민의 신체적/정신적 건강 증진을 기대하고 있다. 단독주택에서는 지역 공동체성 향상에 대한 기대도가, 공동주택 에서는 삶의 질 향상에 대한 기대도가 높다. 도시민은 공동체정원 계획, 시공, 유지관리에 참여할 의사가 있으며 특히 공동체정원의 조성 및 유지관리를 위해 연평균 79,000원을 기부할 의사가 있다. 공동체정원의 조성으로 다양한 효과를 기대할 수 있고 필요성 또한 높게 인식 되고 있으나 거주 유형에 따라 조성 방향과 기대효과가 다르기 때문에 입지하는 지역의 특성에 따라 조성 방향과 도입기능이 결정되어야 할 것이다.

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.

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 paper is a study on the visitor’s motivation and satisfaction to invigorate the Garden Expo that is spreading gradually since it was first held in 2010. 209 visitors of the Gyeonggi Garden Culture Expo, which was held in Gyeonggido Anseong, 2015, were surveyed. As the result of the survey, it was possible to find out that the visitors’ demographical/social economical backgrounds were so diverse the interest of Garden culture was highly popular. As the result of measuring the motivations using Maslow’s needs, the safety needs were the biggest but all 5 needs were shown relatively balanced. Women than men, and older generations than the younger generations showed higher self-actualization needs for creating a garden. The influence of the motivation on satisfaction was the highest in safety needs and self-esteem needs. Thus, it is able to see that in rest-oriented gardens decorated with plants, visitors feel safe and pleasant, while having pride that they are leading high level cultural life rather than mere entertainment. This result indicates the public's interests on what are not only high but also quite positive in Korean society, where Garden Expos are just starting out.

Perceived Restorativeness Scale (PRS), which was developed based on the attention Restoration theory, can be regarded as important, since it helps in finding out garden restoration mechanisms and factors that can be applied to garden components or design directivity that a user requires. However, PRS shows sub-factors, which differ from domestic studies, or has a problem with reliability. In addition, there has been a shortage of studies on new factors considering individual environments. Therefore, this study designed a PRS to be used in garden environments by newly applying Hartig et al.’s PRS (26 components) and RPRS (Revised PRS with 16 components, which is mainly used in Korea and pleasantness that is predicted, based on perceived restorativeness of garden. The study finding displayed that the traditional PRS (26 components) could explain restoration-related variables better and when pleasantness was additionally applied, the explanatory power of restoration-related variables was extremely high.

This study aims at exploring the elements of contemporary garden design reflecting the spirit of Kim Chong-Young, a pioneer of contemporary Korean art, and his art work by reinterpreting the garden in Kim Chong-Young’s birthplace. The study focuses on analysis of his art works and correlation between the plants and them, and spatial composition of the garden based on the literature and Kim Chong-Young’s art works, followed by the process of garden design which examines each element of garden. The components of spatial composition have been reinterpreted into visual, auditory, olfactory elements and humanities, which proves their values to be considered in the garden design. Finally, this study demonstrates the feasibility of establishing the garden which applies internal and external form of Kim Chong-Young’s art works to the plants reflecting symbol, humanities, philosophy and the spirit of Seonbi.

This study is conducted with the questionnaire survey of 174 participants to investigate the psychological effect of workers with the indoor-garden in lounge of public building. The measurement of mental state was investigated and compared with loyalty, attention restoration, profile of mood states (POMS) and semantic differential method (SD Method) while statistical analysis was compared and analyzed with paired t-test, frequency analysis, cross correlation analysis, one-way analysis of variance, and Pearson’s correlation analysis. As the result of analysis of three psychological index, the rate of attention of restoration to the worker was significantly higher in the area where the indoor-garden is installed than the area with no indoor-garden (p≦0.001). Emotional examination showed less negative emotions, such as, the tension, depression, anger, exhaustion or confusion while more positive feeling was vitalized in the area where there is indoor-garden in the lounge than the place with no garden. In addition, as the result of comparison for the index of emotion by gender, negative emotions of men decrease but positive feeling increase more than the group of women in the area where there is indoor-garden in the lounge than the place with no garden. As the result of evaluating the emotion of pleasant, natural and relax with SD method, worker might feel them more in indoor-garden of lounge. Detailed items of plant does not seem to affect to the loyalty in the interest of indoor-garden to the workers, however, behavioral element, such as, feasible investment-cost, provides extremely positive effect (p≦.05). Based on this study, the cognizance of healing effect, attention restoration, profile of mood state (POMS) and emotional quotient by the existence of indoor-garden can be concluded that it will provide the positive effects to diffuse indoor-garden and promotion of emotional health for the staff. In addition, indoor-garden can be practically used to reduce the stress and provide the stability of the indoor-staff.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of horticulture occupation therapy program via healing garden which is increasing the emotional stability and hand Dexterity enhancement on pre-vocational rehabilitation of chronic mental disorder. The current study included 29 patients who were diagnosed as chronic mental disorder under the rehabilitation service at E capital hospital in Seoul from February to December 2010. All of patients participated with agreement in this study, then were divided randomly by experimental (n=17) and control groups (n=12). Therapeutic program was consisted with total 38 sessions, and performed once a week for 10 months. Experimental group was treated with horticultural occupational therapy program using a healing garden (one time), as well as general occupational therapy (four times) in a week. Control group was conducted only general occupational therapy five times a week. To evaluate the effects of program, physical and psychological stress test and hand dexterity test was used before and after program. The program was based on the person-centered therapy, then paired t-test was used to compare the results before and after the program. In the results of present study, there were no significant differences of psychological and physical stress between before and after the therapy in experimental and control group, respectively. However, hand dexterity of experimental group was markedly changed between before (112..4±50.9 sec) and after (82.1±40.6 sec) therapy. Moreover, the speed of performance in GPT was increased with rising therapeutic sessions, indicating the hand dexterity was improved after program. These results demonstrated that horticultural occupation therapy program using the healing garden is beneficial for pre-vocational rehabilitation of chronic mental disorder.

The study aims to examine preferences between community residents and visitors in designing a rural community garden. It analyzed diverse aspects of a garden design including garden’s function, location, management subject, components and so on. The survey was conducted on residents or visitors participants with a self-administered survey questionnaire. The results revealed that both residents and visitors highly preferred a rural community garden as a role of relaxation, appreciation, and healing. Meanwhile, there were differences of preference for location and garden components between residents and visitors. The results implicated that residents’ preference and characteristics of a community are essential in designing a rural community garden, which will lead to sustainable garden construction.

The purposes of carrying out this research were the efficient formation and management of the house gardens of the farming villages in the future by stereotyping the house gardens of the farming villages and the garden spaces and the facilities through the analysis of the present situation of the farm villages and the suggestion of the basic materials for the improvement of the farming village environments. As a result, there were the limitations that this research had been limited to the garden spaces of the farm village houses, without considering all the environments of the farm villages. It was thought that, if, based on these results, the researches for drawing the item of the concrete creation of the gardens and the management are proceeded with through the in-depth analysis in the vein of the relationship between the farm village homestead gardens and the villages in the future, this will prove helpful in practically formulating and putting into practice the policies for supplying the farm village gardens for the farm villages.

Various types of parks such as ecological park, dragonfly park, etc. are tried to design in order to resolve different environmental issues in urban areas. Parks are considered organism habitats that not only improve the biodiversity but also give people a chance to observe living organisms in urban area. This study was conducted to select basic materials for planning a butterfly garden through reference reviews. The following 21 species of butterflies belonged to 1 order, 4 families, and 16 genera were selected: Phengaris teleius, Pseudozizeeria maha, Thecla betulae, Argynnis hyperbius, Dichorragia nesimachus, Hestina assimilis, Polygonia caureum, Sasakia charonda, Vanessa cardui, Vanessa indica, Boloria selene, Byasa alcinous, Papilio machaon, Papilio macilentus, Papilio protenor, Papilio xuthus, Papilio bianor, Sericinus montela, Colias erate, Eurema hecabe, and Pieris rapae. 85 species belonged to 22 families, 59 genera, 74 species, 10 varieties, and 1 subspecies were selected for host and nectar plants for butterflies selected above. These results would be expected to useful in butterfly gardening. After that, we think it is necessary to be applied these study results in field. This study requires a test in the butterfly garden. The test results will be make the butterfly-plant matrix.

Sosaewon and Villa D’este were built in the early of 16th and mid-of 16th each. Sosaewon was built based on the accommodation of topography of the surroundings whilst Villa D’este highlights the distinction of terrace and axis existed on the configuration of the grounds and natures. Both gardens have reflected the social and political influence in that period of constructing tat the builders had been through. These factors have been analyzed by iconological methodology to interpret the inherent meaning of the garden in philosophical, mythological, religious and Feng-shui context and discovered the interconnected relations between two gardens. The characteristic of Sosaewon’s space is based on the Mu-yi-gu-gok, which is derived from a Taoist, due to a builder’s Neo-Confucianism value. Hence Sosaewon contains the adaption of the nature itself based on the values of Mu-yi-gu-gok, which are expressed by visual, auditory and literary elements, brining about the poetic beauty of waiting. The structures of Villa D’este reveal the combination of nature and art whilst it also connotes the theme of ‘The Choice of Hercules’, indicating the builder’s philosophy and will symbolically. Each space of Villa D’este has diverse space for various interpretations followed by this theme. For the interpretation of meaning of Sosaewon and Villa D’este, Sosaewon has adapted the nature of surroundings which contain a view of nature, on the other hand, Villa D’este borrowed the nature of surroundings to build and decorate the garden, using natural terrace and axis for the variation, and drag the river near the garden artificially to fit into the axis of the garden. Villa D’este contains significant mythological and iconological factor intended to highlight the builder’s dignity, status and position.
