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.

This study applies the results of iconological interpretation of Sosaewon and Villa D’este’s constructed areas to the context interpretation methodology of contemporary aesthetics, which is based on writer’s own artistic context derived from writer’s own artistic works. This approach intends to develop and apply new forms of garden art and imagification into writer’s own artistic works by mixture and juxtaposition of these whole heterogeneous implications of Sosaewon and Villa D’este. In addition, the study attempts to construct new value in garden art by applying the diverse artistic aspects of Sosaewon and Villa D’este derived from their diverse iconological interpretation, seeking transition from current standardized garden planning system to compound and fusion system of garden art in the modern times. The study attempts to draw new flow of contemporary garden art. For this, de-constructivism perspective, which contains post-modern cultural characteristic, is applied to examine the Sosaewon and Villa D’este’s hidden but intended factors and spirits by the builders.

The Tree of apartment building is important to achieve a sustainable design for urban environment and to increase residental satisfaction. This study presents the solar shading effect of trees for multi-layer planting. The site for field test is located in Junju, Korea. Four main factors, daylight, illumination, temperature and relative humidity for planting, is tested for 3 months from June to August. Results from the field test are as following; The highest value to block the sunlight is at mean 553.1 W/m2 in shading space under Prunus serrulata var. spontanea, that height is 8.3 m and crown diameter is 6.7 m and The lowest of that is at mean 253.8 W/m2 under Malus prunifolia (willd.) Borkh. The difference of temperature between sunshine space and shade one ranged from 0.6°C to 6.7°C because of tree in Summer. The results shows that solar shading effect of trees can be used to estimate the change of plant growth condition for ground cover planting.

근래 우리나라에서 정원장미는 가장 인기 있는 화목류로 자리잡아가고 있다. 그러나 국산 정원장미 품종의 육성 및 보급이 미미한 실정이어서 보급되고 있는 품종은 대부분 외국 수입품종이다. 우리나라에서 절화장미의 감마선 처리 돌연변이 육종 방법은 잘 확립되었다(고, 2011). 즉, 감마선을 처리하여 기존의 우수한 품종의 특성은 대부분 유지하되 화색이나 화형 등의 변이를 유발하여 신품종을 매우 효과적으로 육성할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 정원장미 신품종을 육성하기 위해 정원장미 2품종(‘러브’ 20주, ‘로잔나’ 30주)에 감마선 70Gy 선량을 각각 처리하여 화색 및 화형 돌연변이를 유기하였다. 감마선 처리한 삽목묘는 포장에 심어 3년에 걸쳐 변이발생을 조사하였다. 품종별 화색 및 화형 변이 형태 등을 조사하였고 발생한 변이는 삽목하여 고정변이주로 작성하였다. 감마선 처리로 러브 품종은 주로 화색변이가 발생하였다. 적색인 러브 품종에서 적자색(Lo1), 분홍색(Lo2), 미색(Lo3), 꽃잎 모자익 무늬변이(Lo4, Lo5)가 발생하였다. 화형 및 화경 크기 변화는 미미 했고, 꽃잎수는 러브품종(37.6장)에 비해 적어지는 계통(4계통, 32.5-25.0장)과 현저히 꽃잎수가 많아지는 계통(1계통 Lo3, 69.0장)이 발생하였다. 잎색은 분홍변이(Lo2)에서 약간 옅어졌다. 로잔나 품종에서 5개의 변이가 발생하였다. 변이의 발생 형태는 화색, 화형, 화경, 꽃잎수 등에 있어 다양한 모습이었다. 로잔나 품종과 화형이 같으면서 화색만 변화한 것(1계통, Ro1), 화형은 같으면서 화색과 화경크기가 변화한 것(1계통, Ro2), 화형과 화색은 같으면서 화경 크기가 줄어든 것(1계통, Ro3), 화형과 화색이 변하고 꽃잎수가 현저히 많아진 것(1계통, Ro4), 화형이 열린컵형태에서 로제트로 변하고 꽃잎수가 현저히 증가한 것(2계통, Ro4, Ro5)) 등 다양한 특성이 조합되어 발생하였다.

급속한 도시화로 인하여 도시 내부에 획일적인 도시 구조물이 건설되었다. 이것은 도시의 경관을 악화시켰다. 이러한 도시 경관 을 개선하기 위한 방법은 도심지 녹지 면적의 확대이다. 하지만 도 시 공간은 다양한 환경조건에 의해 미기후가 만들어지고 이로 인하 여 동일 종 · 지역이라도 개화기의 차이가 발생한다. 이러한 식물계 절의 차이는 도시 경관을 고려한 녹지 조성 시 식물 사용의 어려움 을 준다. 때문에 본 연구에서는 식물계절 예측을 위하여 맹아 80% 수준까지 필요한 적산온도를 구명하였다. 연구 결과 대체적으로 처 리 온도가 고온일수록 맹아기를 촉진하였다. 하지만 식물의 특성에 따라 일정 수준 이상의 고온은 식물의 맹아기를 억제하는 현상이 나타났다. 식물별 개화속도는 산수유, 히어리, 개나리 순이었다. 하 지만 15℃ 수준에서는 일시적으로 개나리가 히어리보다 맹아속도 가 빠르게 나타났으며 20℃에서는 개나리가 히어리보다 맹아속도가 빠르게 나타났다. 그리고 맹아율 80% 수준에 필요한 적산온도는 산수유 169.3±7.7℃, 히어리 226.0±18.0℃, 개나리 279.0±0.4℃ 나타났다.

본 연구는 만성 뇌졸중 환자 30명을 대상으로 무작위로 실험군 17명과 대조군 13명으로 나누워서 주 5회 30분씩 12주 동안 실시 하였다. 실험군은 주 4회는 일반적인 작업치료(상지기능증진치료 및 일상생활훈련)를 실시하고, 주 1회 치료정원을 이용한 원예치료 를 실시하였다. 반면에 대조군은 주 5회 일반적인 작업치료만 실시 하여, 치료정원을 이용한 원예작업치료가 삶의 질에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 하였다. 실험결과 실험군과 대조군 모두 통계적으로 유 의하게 삶의 질 향상이 나타났지만, 실험군이 대조군보다 통계적으 로 높게 나타났다. 본 연구에서의 치료정원을 활용한 원예작업치료 프로그램은 환자가 활동을 이해하고 적절한 수준의 활동을 제시받 기 위해 작업분석 후 동기부여, 적응, 수행기술, 사회적응기술이란 4단계로 등급화(garding)하여 각 단계에 적합한 프로그램으로 구 성하였다. 치료정원에서의 원예활동프로그램을 통해 병원생활에 서 자기만족감이 향상되고, 우울감이 감소되어 삶의 질 향상으로 이어졌다고 사료된다. 이러한 결과를 통해서 만성 뇌졸중 환자에게 치료정원을 이용한 원예작업치료가 삶의 질에 미치는 영향을 주는 것으로 생각하지만, 원예작업치료 프로그램이 구체적으로 뇌졸중 환자의 삶의 질에 어떤 영향 미치고, 구체적 개선부분을 찾기엔 제 한이 있으므로 앞으로 지속적인 연구가 필요하다고 사료된다. 만성 뇌졸중 환자의 치료기간이 늘어나고 지역사회 중심의 재활치료공 간이 확대됨에 따라 장기치료계획의 수립이 필요하며 만성뇌졸중 환자가 지역사회에 생활 할 수 있는 활동 프로그램이 필요한 시기 라고 생각한다. 앞으로도 원예를 활용한 다양한 프로그램이 만성뇌 졸중 재활과정 및 삶의 질에 영향을 미칠 수 있는 연구가 필요하다 고 사료된다.
