본 연구는 태안해안국립공원을 방문한 탐방객들의 휴양경험에 관련된 속성들에 대한 탐방객들의 태도를 파악하여 향후 효율적인 공원관리를 위한 기초자료 제공 목적으로 수행되었다. 이를 위해 응답자 자기기입식의 설문조사를 실시하여 총342매를 수집하였으며 이중 부실한 설문지 14매를 폐기하고 328매를 유효 표본으로 분석하였다. 조사결과 탐방객의 사회경제적 특성은 기존의 국립공원 대상의 조사결과와 유사한 경향을 보였으나 다른 산악형 국립공원과는 다른 가족단위 휴식 목적이 강한 국립공원 특성을 보였다. 또한 탐방객의 휴양경험에 영향을 줄 수 있는 자원과 시설, 공원관리, 불법행위 관련 속성 중 특히, 공원시설 부분(위생, 편의, 안내시설)에서 불만족 요인이 상대적으로 높게 표출되었으며 전반적인 휴양 만족수준은 긍정적으로 평가되었다.

This research The main focus of this research is to provide basic data for concrete recreation planning of future site by selecting Gwangmyeong-Siheung housing district, large residential development district focused on rural areas, by evaluation of recreation value and detailed biotope type classification. The main results of analysis are as follows. As a result of basic survey of the research area, total 79 family and 307 taxonomic groups are identified and also naturalization index and urbanization index were estimated 16.6 % and 17.6% respectively. Also, as a result of biotope type classification, it is divide into 12 biotope type gorups including forest biotope type group and its subordinate 53 biotop types. As a result of first value evaluation, there are total 13 biotope types such as vegetation-full artificial rivers in I grade. In addition it is analyzed as 9 types of II grade, 5 types of III grade, 8 types of IV grade, 18 types of V grade. Lastly, as a result of second evauation, it is analyzed that there are 21 special meaningful areas for recreation and natural experience(1a, 1b), and 50 meaningful areas for recreation and natural experience(2a, 2b, 2c). It is regarded that the results of biotope types classification and recreation value from this research play roles of analyzing the Suitable site for recreation area before development in terms of large residential development district, and then these results provide important basic data to secure recreational and natural experience area in development planning.
