본 연구는 대전광역시 서구에 위치한 월평공원 내 탐방로를 대상으로 탐방로의 훼손현황, 주연부 식물상을 조사하여 훼손유형에 따른 관리방안을 도출하여 보다 쾌적한 도시자연공원을 조성하는 데 필요한 기초자료를 제시하고자 수행하였다. 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 탐방로 폭 조사 결과 평균 폭은 3.5m이었다. 탐방로 훼손유형별로는 노면분기형이 2회(4.76%)로 가장 낮은 빈도를 보였으며, 노폭확대형이 3회(7.14%), 분기샛길형 4회(9.52%), 급경사형 5회(11.90%), 노면세굴형과 암반노출형이 각각 6회(14.29%), 노면침식형 7회(16.67%), 수목뿌리노출 9회(21.43%)로 나타났다. 즉, 2.07㎞의 탐방로 구간에서 총 훼손 발생 지역이 42곳으로서 탐방로의 훼손이 심각한 것으로 나타났다. 또한 탐방로 주연부에서 총 51과 111속 138종의 식물종이 확인되었으며, 귀화율은 12.4%, 도시화지수는 5.9%로 나타났다. 탐방로 주변으로 확산되는 훼손의 진행단계와 범위를 파악하기 위하여 환경 피해도 조사 결과, 환경 피해도 0~2등급은 나타나지 않았다. 3등급은 훼손유형 1개와 훼손지역 2곳, 4등급은 훼손유형 3개와 훼손지역 8곳으로 조사되었으며, 5등급의 경우 훼손유형 6개와 훼손지역 4곳, 6등급은 훼손유형 6개와 훼손지역 2곳으로 조사되었다. 암반지역은 훼손유형 2개와 훼손지역 2곳으로 나타났고, 포장지역은 훼손유형 2개와 훼손지역 12곳으로 나타났다. 종합적으로 볼 때, 월평 공원의 탐방로의 훼손상태는 심각한 수준이다. 특히 월평공원은 접근성이 뛰어나 이용객이 꾸준히 늘어나고 있으므로 조속한 대책이 강구되어야 한다.

This study aims to examine the existing law-protected trees in the city of Daejeon and find out the way of creating urban small parks by utilizing them. To do this, this study reviewed previous research papers and scholastic writings, and surveyed present conditions and usage patterns of the 135 law-protected trees in the city of Daejeon.The result shows that the sites of 114 law-protected trees are possible to create as urban small parks and the sites of 42 trees, among them, have proper location and condition through the result of an evaluating sheet. To create urban small parks using the law-protected tree, considerations are as follows. First, the age, the origin, the tale, the cultural heritage, and so on should be carefully investigated through the scholastic research and survey. Second, systematical management system should be organized to maintain ecological sustainability. Third, each protected tree belongs to the community and the consciousness of citizens should be elevated to have a strong affection to them by educating and informing as a cultural heritage and a community symbol.

This study aims to evaluate urban parks in terms of public service and to find ways to elevate user satisfaction for the creation and usage of an urban park, on the assumption that an urban park is a sort of urban public service. To achieve this, the study relied on two methods: the descriptive method of researching publications and related scholastic writings, and the empirical study method including a survey and interviews with respondents. As a result, "Conviction for a local government" was the highest item and "benefit of urban parks", "physical environment", and "safety" were of lower orders of evaluation. On the contrary, "park information" and "reflecting of park users' opinion" were the lowest item. This means although the local government has enough ability to provide and manage physical park facilities, the government passes secondary service over lightly, in terms of public service. Correlation and regression analysis showed all positively correlated factors: “Y = -0.465 + 0.164 X1 + 0.176 X2 + 0.197 X3 + 0.169 X4 + 0.186 X5 + 0.148 X6 + 0.112 X7” (Y = park service satisfaction, X1 = credibility, X2 = originality, X3 = accessibility, X4 = representative, X5 = physical settings, X6 = safety, X7 = consensus).Urban parks must be essential public facilities in urban city. Therefore, for maximizing park benefits, more careful consideration will be made in terms of the public service of urban park.
