The purpose of this study is to investigate the entire processes of rural amenity resources survey from the beginning to the end, to discuss the results of the survey and resources information establishment, and to comprehensively analyze the status of resources information application. Rural amenity resources survey, which is aimed at finding rural amenity resources to respond to the demands of the resources and support rural development, was first conducted by National Academy of Agricultural Science under Rural Development Administration in 2005. The first survey subjects were 149 eups and myeons in Korea, expanding to the nationwide rural villages. In 2012, the rural amenity resources survey was completed. Next year, the information establishment was completely made. It is expected that the rural amenity resources information established by the survey will be more applied and used, and that with the constant addition of new analyses in line with the changing environment demands, rural amenity resources will contribute to dynamic rural development.

본 연구에서는 일회성이 아닌 지속적인 어메니티 창출을 위해 문헌조사와 현장조사를 통해 어메니티 평가 요소와 시험 프로그램(pilot program)을 도출하였다. 이를 바탕으로 식물축제와 테마식물원 방문자를 대상으로 방문동기별 어메니티 요소에 대한 인식의 차이를 비교분석 함으로 식물관련 축제와 체험행사의 공간구성을 위한 기초자료를 마련하였다. 또 시범용 체험프로그램 참여자의 참여목적별 만족도를 비교하여 프로그램 활용 방안을 유형별로 분류하는 지침을 도출하였다. 즉, 어메니티 요소에 대하여 방문목적별 분석은 유의한 차이가 시설물과 식물의 다양성에 대하여만 나타났다. 나머지 항목은 나타나지 않은 것을 통해 시설물은 공간 방문목적에 맞게 종류와 배치를 재구성 해야 하고 식물의 다양성을 고려한 테마선정과 계절별 배치와 이용자의 목적에 따른 체류시간을 고려한 동선 배치가 필요하다고 분석된다. 어메니티 체험 프로그램은 대상자의 체험활동 목적에 따라 그리기와 토피어리조형정원, 미니정원 프로그램에서 만족도 차이가 나타나므로 단순체험자가 쉽게 접근할 수 있는 산책과 채집 식물활용, 먹거리 관련 프로그램과 교육이 요구되는 그리기와 만들기형 프로그램으로 대분류하고 교육이 요구되는 프로그램은 이해를 도울 수 있는 교구재와 모형을 만들어 지속적인 교육기능을 보완 한다면 효과적으로 체험프로그램이 운영될 수 있을 것이다. 따라서 지역의 어메니티 향상을 위한 식물축제나 수목원, 식물원, 대안학교 등에서 식물체험 프로그램을 운영할 때는 방문자의 경험과 방문목적을 고려한 후 일시적 체험활동과 교육적 체험을 분류한 단계별 매뉴얼 중심의 체계적 체험 활동으로 질적인 운영을 유지하는 것이 필요하다. 또 식물관련 축제와 식물원에서 어메니티 효과를 지속적으로 유지하기 위한 공간 구성과 체험프로그램을 도입할 때, 본 연구에서 도출된 이용자의 목적별 데이터는 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

Rural amenity is regarded as a breakthrough that can revitalize the rural communities. The demand for rural amenity development is also increasing since the urban people have growing incomes and leisure time. This study was implemented to survey the needs and application directions of rural amenity database. The survey questionnaires were collected from various related groups including industry, universities, administration and research institute. Two kinds of analysis of variance (ANOVA) were carried out in order to prioritize the building rural amenity resource map among four user groups and ten rural amenity resources. The result of survey showed that most of respondents had been aware of amenity resources and the industry group had the highest level of utilization in making decisions for rural development. Although the significant difference among groups was not shown in the priority, the priority in the construction of information map was shown the significant difference among 10 kinds of amenity resources. Landscape's map and traditional resource map were relatively higher priority than the other resource map.

The rural area has kept traditions and green open spaces highlighted in these days since the life quality elevated. Institute of Rural Resources Development has been conducting nation-wide survey project for rural amenity resources to construct the databases of rural amenity distribution and richness. Using surveyed data from the project, this study was implemented to evaluate rural amenity values based on SAW (Simple Additive Weighting) method considering two aspects including living and tourism amenity. For defining the set of evaluation criteria, the rural amenity resources were classified into almost intact nature resources(natural resources), interaction between nature and man resources(cultural resources) and man-made resources(social resources). The weighting values of the criteria were evaluated from the step wise pair-comparison results by AHP(Analytic Hierarchy Process) method. In the results of weighting values related to living amenity, social resources was the hightest ranked criterion (0.512), followed by cultural resources (0.245) and natural resources (0.243). On the other hand, the results related to tourism amenity was that weighting values of natural resources, cultural resources and social resources were 0.481, 0.340 and 0.179, respectively. The two aspects evaluation methods was applied to the selected 18 areas (Myeon administration level) in Chungcheongbuk Do. The results demonstrated the differences of amenity values for living conditions and tourism conditions and could be used for prioritizing rural amenity planning.
