This study was conducted to investigate the changes in the frequency of use, users’ behaviour and satisfaction of Seonhaksan and Bibongsan mountains near city center improved through the park and green spaces projects implemented by Jinju City Hall from 2004 to 2016. The number of visitors per day was measured by observation surveys in 2004 and 2016. The users’ behaviour and satisfaction were measured by questionnaires in 2004 and 2017. The collected data were analyzed by frequency analysis and independent sample t-test. The number of visitors per day increased about two times on weekdays and more than 2.5 times on weekends in 2016 than in 2004. Relatively the number of male visitors increased more than that of female visitors. The share of elderly visitors has increased and the number of visitors who live out of 1 km radius has increased. The goals of visit were changed from hiking or walking to various recreational activities, and the number of users visiting by car increased. The number of visits and the duration of visit has decreased. The inconveniences of trails and exercise facilities were significantly reduced, and the necessity of family recreational facilities fulfilled. The necessity of outdoor learning facilities and programs has not been recognized. Comprehensively, the results indicate that the recreational quality of Seonhaksan and Bibongsan mountains has improved. Further implementation of target-oriented parks and green spaces will be necessary in the future.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the recognition and demands of forest interpretation programs. Questionnaire survey was carried out to estimate the awareness, necessity, future participation intent, experience, satisfaction and demands of forest interpretation programs with 100 residents living in Jinju city or Gyeongnam region. The data were subject to frequency analysis, correlation analysis, and path analysis. Overall 63% of respondents didn’t know forest interpretation programs, but 52% of respondents recognized the necessity of forest interpretation programs. 52% of respondents had the future participate intent of forest interpretation programs, and 38.3% didn’t know if they would participate. 74% of respondents had never experienced the programs. In the satisfaction, 80% of respondents who experienced showed neutral. Future participation intent was highly correlated with necessity as shown in the result of correlation analysis among awareness, necessity, future participation intent, and experience of forest interpretation programs. Also future participation intent in path analysis was estimated to be affected indirectly by experience and awareness as well as necessity. Enhancement of future participation intent would be achieved by increasing experience, awareness, and necessity of forest interpretation programs. According to the demands, forest interpreters were required to have the expertise to provide knowledge and information of forests. Attractive content for forest interpretation programs was in the order of recreational activities > forest conservation > education while the proper objective of forest interpretation programs was experience and interest > education > conservation and resource > public relation of forests and parks. Respondents preferred participation and experience the most as a style in selecting the programs. Key condition in selecting the venue was diversity > safety > connectivity > accessibility in order. There was no significantly different preference in proper participation duration or operation season for the activities of forest interpretation programs.

MBTI 성격 유형은 총 16가지 성격 유형으로 사람들의 성격 유형을 구분하며, 세부적으로는 각각의 분류를 나누어 사람들의 성격을 설명 하는 도구로 사용되고 있다. 이중 사람들의 심리기능을 나누는 기준으로 MBTI 검사에서 인식과 판단의 심리 방향성을 이용하여 4가지 심 리유형으로 나누고 있다. 원예활동은 식물을 재배하는 활동에서부터 식물을 이용하여 다양한 공예품을 만드는 활동, 실내에서 하는 활동, 실외에서 하는 활동 등 여러 가지 분류로 나뉘어진다(). Jeong(2012)은 이러한 원예에 대한 선호를 MBTI 성격 유형에 따라 분석하기도 하 였다. 이에 본 연구는 대학생들에게 Choi(2003)가 분류한 원예활동 중 7가지 분류를 기준으로 각 분류별로 4가지 활동을 선정하여 선호도 를 조사하여 학습스타일과 관계가 깊은 심리기능에 따른 선호도차이와 IPA분석을 실시하였다. 설문대상자는 총 223명으로 심리기능별로 는 ST유형(실질적이고 사실적인 유형)이 76명, SF유형(동정적이고 우호적인 유형)이 95명, NT유형(논리적이고 창의적인 유형)이 23명, NF유형(열정적이고 통찰적인 유형)이 29명으로 조사되었다. 심리기능별 유의적인 차이가 있는 원예치료 활동으로는 꽃꽂이, 실내화단꾸 미기, 화분옮겨심기, 허브정원조성, 허브 양초/비누 만들기, 잔디인형 만들기, 함께 나누기 공동작업, 근처 공원으로 소풍, 허브식빵 만들기, 식용 꽃 까나페 만들기였다. 심리기능별 선호하는 활동으로는 ST유형은 정원 산책, 근처 공원으로 소풍, 허브 차 마시기 순으로 나타났고, SF유형은 근처 공원으로 소풍, 정원 산책, 허브 양초/비누 만들기 순위, NT유형은 꽃꽂이, 실내 화단 꾸미기, 옥상텃밭 만들기 순위, NF유 형은 근처 공원으로 소풍, 허브 차 마시기, 정원 산책 순이었다. 연구 결과와 같이 다양한 원예활동이 있지만 심리기능별 선호하는 원예활동 은 조금씩 차이가 나타나는 것을 알 수 있었다. 이에 따라 원예활동을 실시할 때 대상자들의 특성에 맞춘 원예활동을 설계한다면 원예치료 프로그램의 효과가 증진될 것이라 사료된다.

As a part of research to improve the satisfaction of residents on natural recreation forests near/within a city, the recognition of the residents was investigated and evaluated by using five-point Likert scale or frequency analysis for the plan of Mt. Wora natural recreation forest in Jinju city, which included the awareness, importance, preference, and visit intention of the residents. Until now, the personal goals of most visitors at Mt. Wora have been exercising or walking, and showed different from those of visitors at recreation forests with lots of recreational facilities and natural resources. Also the satisfaction was 3.6 and tended to be lower than that at natural recreation forests. The awareness and necessity of natural recreation forest were 3.3 and 4.0 respectively. As a result, the awareness was lower than the necessity though most respondent (84.5%) had already visited and experienced natural recreation forest before this survey. In the importance of facilities and programs, recreation/relaxation places, family accommodation, education, and leisure and sports were 4.2, 3.7, 3.7, and 3.4 respectively. The result shows a feature that the education was equal/similar to the family accommodation and the leisure and sports was over 3.0. In the preference of the types of accommodation and outdoor stay, the frequency of bungalow was 57.4% and higher than others. And then the frequency of autocamping and glamping were 36.5% and 32.9% respectively, and higher than that of camping. It indicates that users prefer more convenient types to typical/common types. The awareness and necessity of forest culture education were 3.1 and 4.1 respectively. The awareness of leisure and sports facilities was 3.2. The preference of adventures (zip line, eco-adventure etc.) was 3.4 and higher than those of others.

As the interest in and demand for urban agriculture have recently increased, more and more people want to be engaged in urban agriculture. In this respect, horticultural exhibitions held on university campuses can be utilized as a space to share knowledge on and experience urban agriculture. Against this backdrop, this study was conducted to evaluate the satisfaction of visitors with horticultural exhibitions, and to develop strategies to plan a horticultural exhibition based on the results of the evaluation. A survey was conducted in an horticultural exhibition held on the campus of G University in J city in South Gyeongsang Province for three days (May 2-4, 2016). In this survey, a self-administered questionnaire was used, and statistical analysis was performed on a total of 275 collected questionnaires. The satisfaction of visitors with the exhibition was analyzed by content sections and items of information and services. As a result, the level of satisfaction with the section of flower plants (83.7%) and the level of satisfaction with the docent service (78.2%) were the highest respectively. A correlation analysis was conducted between the satisfaction of visitors and their intention to revisit, which can affect the action of the visitors. The correlation of all of the content, information and services of the exhibition with the overall satisfaction and the intention to revisit were positive (+). In particular, among the items of information and services, the satisfaction with activity experience showed the highest correlation with the overall satisfaction (0.659, p<.001) and the intention to revisit (0.519, p<.001). This indicates that activity experience is a very important factor in promoting the overall satisfaction of visitors and their intention to revisit. Therefore, if the demand for the experience and instructive benefits is met by horticultural exhibitions, they can be utilized not just as an event held on a university campus, but also as a means to promote urban agriculture by providing basic information and knowledge about it for local residents. By doing so, it will be also possible to encourage the participation of local residents as well as university students

This study was designed to identify citizens’ awareness and satisfaction of Green Roof Projects (GRPs) in Changwon City, South Korea. Changwon City implemented a “Green Roof Promotion Planning” project according to the city’s codes and regulations from 2009 to 2011. The project introduced guidelines for ecological area rates and provided financial subsidies for the green roofing of private buildings. A citizens’ survey shows that 64.8 percent of respondents have a positive awareness of GRPs and think the projects’ priority should be on public buildings and commercial/office buildings. About 43.1 percent of green roof users were satisfied with green roofing in terms of housing improvement and energy saving. However, 34.6 percent of green roof users were not satisfied with regard to plant management. Educational level made a statistically meaningful difference in terms of the awareness of the project’s needs and participatory spirit. Statistics of the survey showed that citizens’ attitude of participation spirit was influenced by the increase in value of a building, green space expansion, and ecosystem conservation. However, their satisfaction was determined by housing improvements. The results of this survey call for a deliberate policy effort on the part of Changwon City to increase the projects’awareness, satisfaction, and participation

As a part of research to improve the recreation and tourism of Mt. Keumwon, this study undertook a visitor survey and investigated a structure model analysis to evaluate visitors’satisfaction of sightseeing. In socio-demographic background, the 60 percent of visitors was male, the 71.3% was 40s age and over, and the 80.7% was resident in Gyeongsang-do. A theoretical model with measurement was designed to explore and deduce a structural equation model (SEM), which was developed with hypotheses and data from 150 questionnaires collected in 2013. The results supported that display quality has a significant and positive influence on satisfaction more strongly compared to the influence of convenient use, convenient use has a significant and positive influence on satisfaction, and also display quality has a very significant and positive influence on convenient use. The visitors tend to evaluate convenient use to be better as display quality increases.

This study was carried out to assess the covering of 11 Sedum species on an extensive green roof system under the urban climate of South Korea for 2 years. The eleven Sedum species which came up to the criteria were selected: S. acre, S. album, S. kamtschaticum, S. oryzifolium, S. polystichoides, S. reflexum, S. rupestre, S. sarmentosum, S. sexangulare, S. spurium, and S. telephium. The plants were planted in the extensive green roof system with the substrate of porous glass+bark+field soil (v:v:v, 3:2:5) and then evaluated. The covering area of the Sedum species were about 72㎠ at the start after the establishment. When a year had passed since the systems were established, S. acre, S. oryzifolium and S. sexangulare maintained 200-500㎠/plant of covering area and the others maintained 800-1200㎠/plant. Most covering area increased continuously for about two years and showed a large quantity of increment in summer season with the exception of S. kamtschaticum, S. polystichoides, S. sarmentosum, and S. telephium, whose above-parts were not alive in winter.

겨울철 도시경관의 향상과 생태적 건전성을 위해 조경용 상록활 엽수 종자 및 묘목의 수요가 빠르게 증가할 것이다. 본 연구는 종가 시나무에 대하여 채종시기와 종자크기에 따른 종자발아 및 유묘생 장의 특성을 구명하고자 수행되었다. 경남 진주시에 위치한 남부산 림자원연구소(N35°09’58.62”, E128°06’23.42”, 67m)에 식재 된 종가시나무에서 2011년 11월부터 이듬해 2월까지 30일 간격으 로 종자를 채집하여 종자크기에 따라서 3가지로 구분하고 종자특 성과 발아 및 유묘생장 특성을 분석하였다. 전반적으로 종자의 수 분함량은 채종을 개시한 11월에서부터 이듬해 1월까지 점차 증가 하는 경향을 나타냈고, 채종시기가 늦어질수록 배의 피해가 증가하 며 특히 대립에서 더욱더 많은 피해가 나타냈다. 발아율은 채종경 과일수와 종자 내 배의 피해 유무와 통계적으로 유의성 있는 상관 을 나타냈고, 종자크기와는 뚜렷한 상관을 나타내지 않았다. 12월 까지 채종된 종자는 높은 발아율을 보였지만 이후에는 점차 발아율 이 낮아지는 경향을 보였고, 발아속도, 발아지수, T50값도 11월과 12월이 상대적으로 양호하였다. 유묘생장은 채종경과일수와 상관 을 나타내지 않았고, 종자크기와 유의성 있는 상관을 나타냈다. 종 자크기가 클수록 총 건중량이 높게 나타냈으며, 11월부터 12월까 지 묘목품질지수가 상대적으로 높게 나타냈다. 결과적으로, 건전 한 종자발아 및 유묘생장을 위해서 종가시나무의 채종시기는 12월 까지가 적합하며 상대적으로 큰 종자를 선별하는 것이 적합할 것으 로 판단되었다.
