This study aimed to comprehensively analyze the usage characteristics of children's parks according to location in Gangneung-si. Weekday and weekend, gender, time of stay, and usage behavior according to age group were analyzed and a video analysis of unmanned camera data for park management was conducted. On the average, the use of children’s parks during spring and autumn was more than twice that during summer, and the use rate of children's parks located in old central districts by elderly people was relatively higher than the use rate of those located in housing development district. Overall, the usage ratio (24.6%) by elderly people was high, and their usage ratio (31.3%) in the morning period from dawn was significantly high. Among the usage behaviors, the rate at which dogs walk was analyzed to be somewhat high. As the usage ratio by elderly people is high with diverse usage behavior, it is necessary to provide complex functions to children's parks in the future.

The purposes of this study are to analyze the degree of satisfaction on forest experience among children, based on a survey of teachers and parents who lead them, and to make proposals based upon the findings. The survey was performed in forest experience for children at Apsan Park in Daegu. The results are as follows. First, there were 78 respondents comprising 34 teachers, 39 parents, and 5 others. The teachers’ age groups were distributed evenly between the 20s and 40s and parents’ 51.3% were in their 30s and 46.2% in their 40s. Second, all participants responded that forest experience is necessary for children. 80.8% of respondents required continually additional construction. Specifically, parents insisted that forest experience for children should be built up more than the teachers did. Third, as a result of the management and program satisfaction of forest experience for children, 38.5% of respondents wanted increased access and another 38.5% desired unlimited access. In addition, the older teachers preferred more flexible access. Fourth, the safe facility topped the list of the four facilities ranked by importance with 0.39 points, followed by the learning experience field, the shelter facility, and the discretional facility. This study aims to build up basic data in order to make and practically manage forest experiences for children. Therefore, through continuous research, forest experience for children should be established as a practical experience spaces for children.

A survey was performed to present a scheme for building a healing forest park inside a city in consideration of the fact that healing forests are located in non-urban areas because of their nature, and are therefore not conveniently accessible to urban population (n=196). As a result, among 196 respondents to the survey, 74.5% indicated that it was necessary to build an urban healing forest park. In the case of the expected usage pattern, were an urban forest park to be built, the largest proportion responded that it would be used to “walk”, followed by “rest and meditation” and then “meeting/talk/date”. An analysis showed that the largest proportion responded that they factor in “Accessibility” (48%), followed by “Park condition” (16.8%), and “Vegetation type” (12.2%). According to the analysis of usage preference for healing therapy, it was shown that the largest proportion preferred “Terrain therapy” (37.8%), followed by “Exercise therapy” (19.9%), and “Naturopathy” (18.9%). The factor anlaysis of usage preference regarding urban healing forest park facilities showed that the components were divided into “Operation facilities” and “Natural healing space”, and the largest proportion preferred “Trails for healing”, followed by “Space or forest for meditation” and “Health promotion center”, and then “Facilities for a exercise therapy”. In building an urban healing forest park, we think that it is effective to introduce zones and facilities in consideration of park characteristics that are centered on everyday behaviors, such as taking a walk, which differ from those of healing forests located in non-urban areas.

This study was conducted to suggest efficient management measures for the trails of urban parks. For this purpose, Importance- Performance Analysis was applied to analyze the expectations and satisfaction of users of trails in Gwanggyo Lake Park. As a result of analysis, it was found that the average level of importance was 4.2 and satisfaction was 3.54. Overall, the importance of evaluation items was higher than the satisfaction. The factors that need intensive management were the convenience of moving with a wheelchair or a stroller, the amount of shades and vegetation, nearby amenities, pedestrian safety facilities, and separation of walking trails and bicycle trails. It was found that management strategies and improvement are necessary to improve the safety facilities of trails and convenience of users. It is hoped that the findings of this study can suggest efficient management and operation measures and improve the satisfaction of users.

This study intended for Cheongryongsan Community Garden in Gwanak-gu, one of the demonstration places for 'Community Garden' Project recently implemented by the Seoul Government. This study had two major purposes: investigating the current status of the management and usage and identifying its characteristics; investigating users' awareness to consider the construction and operation directions of sustainable community gardens. This study was conducted based on several surveys such as an investigation into the spatial configuration and the management system of parks through a field study, a use survey through a questionnaire survey for vegetable garden users and an awareness survey about the construction direction of gardens direction preferred by users through the analytical hierarchy process (AHP). As a result of a questionnaire survey for vegetable garden users, the usage status was summarized as follows: Considering the common trends in the 2012 and the 2013 user survey, women used Cheongryongsan Vegetable Garden more than men. Over fifties used it most of all users. Users were mostly neighborhood residents. They used to visit there three to five times a week and stayed for about 30 minutes to one hour. Users differently responded to the question related to the order of priority for the use of the garden in the 2012 and the 2013 survey. They had increasingly used it for individuals' production activities more than social exchanges. As a result of making an AHP analysis for general park users, vegetable garden users there were clear differences in the targets which each subject put emphasis on in relation to the construction and operation of vegetable gardens. General park users recognized a vegetable garden as a park where park functions and the functions of the vegetable garden coexisted. On the other hand, vegetable garden users viewed it as a space where they attached importance to the functions of the vegetable garden like an allotment. Last, this study contemplated subjects related to the construction and operation of vegetable gardens which had to be considered in the future. Vegetable gardens tended to be biased as personal hobby places. It was viewed that the main reason was insufficient support activities for vegetable garden education and exchange programs originally planned when vegetable gardens had been constructed. Vegetable garden users recognized vegetable gardens as places for individuals' farming activities like allotments. For the desirable operation of vegetable gardens, it would be necessary to give priority to the park management before the production activities in individuals' vegetable gardens. The important role of the government would be to build the base through the provision of education and opportunities so that a local resident organization could actively participate in the management of a vegetable garden after a vegetable garden was constructed. It would be necessary to make a use survey and an awareness survey for users conducted in this study on a regular basis because the surveys could be important basic data in the decision-making process for the sustainable operations of the vegetable garden.

본 연구는 도시공원의 이용 편의성을 촉진시키기 위한 공원시설의 베리어 프리화 정비 효과 검증 및 방향성을 제시하기 위해 일본 도시 공원 가이드라인의 기준에 의해 설계·시공된 공원의 실제 공원 이용자들 이용 평가 및 의식조사를 실시하였다. 조사를 통해 얻은 자료를 분석한 결과 및 제안 사항을 정리하면 다음과 같다. 첫째 구체적인 기준을 갖고 실시한 공원 시설의 베리어 프리화 정비는 이용 편의성 향상이라는 효과가 있지만 똑같은 기준을 모든 공원에 적용하기 보다는 공원의 특성과 인근 주민의 속성 등, 예상되는 이용자의 이용행태에 맞게 정비하는 것이 이용자의 편의성을 높이는데 유효하다. 둘째 가이드라인의 대상외인 유구도 가이드라인의 대상 시설에 포함시켜 이용자의 이용 행태 및 특성을 고려해 시설물을 배치할 필요가 있다. 설계 시공에 관한 기준뿐만 아니라 유지관리에 관한 매뉴얼을 가이드라인에 추가할 필요가 있다. 공원 내부 시설 이용에 필요한 정보 내용 및 이를 효과적으로 전달 할 수 있는 기준마련이 필요하다.

본 연구는 서울 소재의 도심공원을 대상으로 이용자들의 일반적인 이용행태와 도시농업 관련 체험에 대한 선호 및 요구를 분석하여 도심공원에 적용 가능한 도시농업 체험프로그램 개발의 기초자료를 수립하고자 수행하였다. 이용자들의 도심공원 이용 목적은 산책, 동반자는 가족이나 친지, 공원을 이용하는 계절은 가을, 이용시간은 오후 시간이 통계적으로 유의하게 높았다. 도심공원 내 도시농업 관련 체험프로그램의 도입과 관련한 내용에서 도시농업 체험 활동별 필요성에서는 채소수확이 가장 유의하게 높았고, 그 필요성이 가장 낮게 응답한 항목은 화학비료 이용하기였다. 체험활동 유형에 대한 선호도 조사에서는 감성체험이 관계체험과 비교하면 유의하게 높은 것으로 나타났다. 감성체험 내에서는 재미있고, 마음이 편안해지는 체험을 프로그램의 차별성을 느끼는 것보다 유의하게 높게 요구하였다. 인지체험 내에서는 전문지식 및 기술을 습득하는 것보다 식물에 대한 관찰력 및 주의력이 증진되는 체험을 유의하게 높게 원하였다. 도시농업 체험프로그램 개발 시 고려해야 할 연령층은 ‘만 13세 미만의 어린이’, ‘가족을 위한 프로그램’ 적정 운영 계절은 ‘봄’, 요일은 ‘주말’, 운영시간은 ‘오후’가 유의하게 높았다. 도시농업 프로그램을 운영할 주체로 ‘전문가’가 필요하며, 도시농업 체험프로그램을 통하여 예상하는 효과로는 ‘정서 및 교육적 효과’가 통계적으로 유의하게 높게 나타났다.

This study is intended to examine the perception of importance-satisfaction in selective properties of rural theme park with the users and to suggest operation method and implications for rural theme parks which are being built on a nation-wide basis. The study results are as follows: First, the results from the analysis on importance-satisfaction in the selective properties showed that both attractiveness of natural landscape and excellence of surrounding environment are high. Second, the t-test with matched samples for importance-satisfaction showed that there were significant statistical differences in all items, and the users rated satisfaction lower than the importance. Third, IPA results showed that the items such as diversity of festival event, accessibility and convenience of public transportation, appropriateness of expense and kindness in service appeared in the 2nd quadrant 'direction of concentrated efforts'Therefore, this study was able to identify the perception of importance-satisfaction among the users of rural theme parks. The study findings suggest that it is necessary to preserve surrounding natural environment, ensure appropriate pricing, introduce events and increase service level in constructing and operating rural theme parks.

In this study this author made research and analysis on physical status and characteristics of community parks in Ik-san provinces and also depending on its potential resources such parks were classified into constructed parks and unconstructed parks and status of use of such parks and level of satisfaction were studied. Through this paper this author strived to provide basic data required for forming green track of land for the parks. Required time for visiting community parks either constructed or unconstructed type was within 40 minutes or less. However constructed parks appeared to be more convenient for access in comparison with natural unconstructed parks. Mostly they were used by residents in neighboring community and also residents in the area around it were found as using it frequently. At the time of using community parks either constructed or unconstructed types means of access were mostly by walking or by riding bicycles. Thus considering large number of users of such parks are from neighboring community it appeared that parks with its simplicity and convenience in terms of distance and with rich nature were preferred by users rather than large scale parks at distance. In terms of time frame of use and motivation of visit constructed parks were used mainly for exercise and relaxation in the morning at parks and its facilities whereas unconstructed parks were mostly used in the afternoon for for walking and chatting and rest under with time to spare at shadows of its trees. Time spent at parks were composed mostly of rest and walking more frequently than exercise and leisure activity thus it was different from motivation for visiting parks. As for evaluation of use of parks natural elements, unique environment, trees and lawns featured highly in unconstructed parks in comparison with constructed parks. Thus it seemed visitors are more conscious of forest and landscape in a form of unchanged nature. Thus for community parks first consideration should be heightening accessibility in view of primary concern for convenience by users rather than facilities or environmental conditions.

Obesity affects various kinds of adult diseases and is a principal cause of injuring people's health. Physical activities are very important to solve the obesity problem and green spaces are good place to take physical activities. In order to examine the utilization of green spaces for physical activities to improve health, the survey was implemented in regards to recognition of health, forms of use of green spaces for physical activities. Only 8.1% of respondents didn't care about health, but 91.9% of them were interested in health more than ‘commonness’. 95.2% of respondents knew that obesity has an effect on various adult diseases, and 93.1% of respondents cognized that it's possible to prevent obesity by doing physical activities. More than half of respondents replied that the types of green spaces utilized for physical activities were small-scale neighborhood parks and mini parks around house. About 70% of respondents took walking as a type of physical activities. 53% of respondents utilized green spaces one or two times a week, while 25% of them utilized the places at least three times a week to take physical activities. 91.8% of respondents took exercise for more than 30 minutes. These results are expected to promote health because many experts encourage people to take physical activities at least three times a week because fats of human body begins to burn after 30 minutes from start of physical activities. In the utilizing time of green spaces, evening or after work(56.7%) was higher than morning or before work(35.1%). 71% of respondents usually visited green spaces by walking. This study shows green spaces are good places for physical activities and have boundless potentialities improving people's health.

수조가 지하에 매설되어 배관이나 배선이 노출되지 않고 바닥면에서 물이 분사되는 형태의 분수인 바닥분수는 일반적으로 공공 정원의 광장에 도입되어 수경관을 접할 기회를 제공하고 분수가 가동되지 않을 때에는 광장의 기능을 하는 다목적 옥외 공간을 제공하고 있다. 본 연구는 이용후 평가를 통하여 바닥분수를 위한 효과적인 설계와 관리 방안을 제안할 목적으로 수행되었다. 진주 남가람 공원 중앙광장에 조성된 바닥분수가 도면 및 현장조사, 관찰, 인터뷰, 설문조사를 통하여 이용자의 행태와 만족도를 중심으로 평가되었다. 이용자의 주요 행태는 ‘물놀이’, ‘더위 식히기, ’분수 감상‘, ’산책‘이었다. 바닥분수의 이용은 남가람 공원 중앙광장의 전체 이용에 유의성 있는 영향을 미치고 있었다. 이용 만족도는 ’안전성‘, ’안전 관리자의 배치‘, ’용수의 음용 적합성‘을 제외하고는 전반적으로 높은 수준을 나타내었다. 종합적인 만족도에 영향을 미치는 변수들은 ’분수의 기능적 적합도‘, ’용수의 정기적 교체‘, ’놀이 공간으로서의 적합성‘이었다. 바닥분수에서의 개선 및 보강 사항으로는 ’미가동 기간 중의 프로그램‘, ’안전 시스템의 보완‘, ’프로그램 분수‘ 등에 대한 이용자들의 요구도가 높았다.

This study aims to find out negative factors against public safety in urban parks. Longitudinal data between 1994 and 2008 were analyzed to suggest management implication for high quality security and safety in urban park. Results are summarized as follows. Firstly, investigation of visitor to the park at night reveals that visitors who were elderly, walking out, and family group increased, and that most visitors took a stroll for one hour around 8:00pm. Olympic park (e.g. leisure facility 66.7%), Hyo-won park (e.g. vacant lot 23.8%), Jang-an park (e.g. near hedge 30.1%), and Mae-tan park (e.g. leisure facility 20.8%) were revealed as latent places of serious criminals. Secondly, both in 1994 and in 2008, principal factors of public safety were summarized as fear for violence(X1) and fear for closed space(X3). These factors took 3.22 followed by 3.07 respectively in the overall mean of public safety of parks. Thirdly, overall mean of public safety takes 2.22 in 1994 and 2.96 in 2008, which shows uncertainty of effective management of facilities with a viewpoint of visitors. All parks shows negative trend in public safety, in short.

최근 개인의 수입증대와 여가시간이 늘어남에 따라 사람들은 도시에서 수변공간의 확대와 워터프런트의 발친 가능성 확대를 요구하게 되었다. 본 연구는 연안역에 위치한 영도절영해안산책공원 이용자의 이용패턴조사와 행태 및 만족도를 분석하였다. 본 연구에서 얻어진 결론을 정리하면 다음과 같다. 절영해안산책공원은 산책으로 가장 많이 이용되며 바다를 보래, 조깅, 휴식 등의 순으로 활동이 이루어지고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 산책로로서의 안전성과 편의성이 더욱 편의성이 더욱 확보되어야 하며, 사용자의 만족도를 높이기 위하여 매점 수의 부족과 주차장의 개발확보 등 대처가 필요한 것으로 나타났다.
