This study examines the construction and management of physical facilities in natural recreational forests that have been created after gaining an understanding of how visitors will use them. It also studies operations tailored for the use of visitors to natural recreation forests. The study presents basic data pertaining to management of natural recreation forests, analyzes the impact of current facilities on visitor satisfaction, and reveals the potential for new programs to be implemented. The independent variables in this study are facilities and program establishment/management and program utilization pertaining to the operation of natural recreation forests. The considered variables include facilities management and facilities requirements categorized by state programs. Program needs were analyzed using correlation. The state of facilities management in natural recreation forests, utilization program implementation, and demand for utilization programs were found to have a positive (+) influence on visitor satisfaction. The results of the rank regression analysis of the influence of the independent variables on visitor satisfaction decreases in the following order: state of facilities management, utilization program implementation, and demand for utilization programs. Visitors to natural recreation forests prefer recreational activities that provide a break from their normal routine, rather than the use of other aggressive utilization programs. Therefore, a higher priority should be given to ensuring appropriate provision of facilities that generate higher visitor satisfaction, as well as their stable management, compared to other utilization programs. Therefore, there are some indications that natural recreation forests of the future will benefit from the development and implementation of an essential set of utilization programs that will have a positive (+) impact on visitor satisfaction.

This study found that National Recreation Forest Management Office has a financial issue throughout the analysis of Sanlim 3.0, Big data. Most of profit, over 90%, were from accommodations. This situation can cause financial aggravation. In this study, benefits of the sixth industry were examined to find out if it can be used for the improvement of profit structure of recreational forest. User behavior studies were also examined and summarized to find out visitors’ purposes and references within recreational forest. Visitors had two main purposes and references: 1. rest and recreation, and 2. promotion of health. Therefore, healing industry and Korea traditional charcoal kiln are selected to integrate them into the forest sixth industrialization. Waste wood would be used as resources for traditional charcoal making process. Traditional charcoal kiln would be constructed with Jjimjilbang to produce traditional charcoals for sale and provide a natural sauna in recreational forest. The road map of forest sixth industry would help to improve financial profit structure and to revitalize local community.

육체적･정신적 건강을 통해 보다 행복하고 아름다운 삶을 추구하는 웰빙(well-being)시대에 삶의 질을 높이고자 도시의 인공적인 환경을 벗어나 녹색공간을 찾아 자연을 즐기며 휴식을 취하고자 하는 산림휴양에 대한 욕구가 크게 증가하고 있다. 따라서 풍부한 자연자원을 지닌 자연휴양림은 급증하는 휴양욕구를 충족시키기에 단연 매력적인 장소가 아닐 수 없다. 자연휴양림의 휴양자원은 이용객들로 하여금 일상생활의 긴장과 스트레스로부터 벗어나 산림에서 심신의 휴식과 재충전의 기회를 갖게 하고, 자연체험 및 교육 프로그램 등을 통해 자연을 배우고 교감하며 심리적 만족과 동기부여를 제공한다. 따라서 자연휴양림의 이용적 특성을 파악하는 것은 휴양림의 운영 및 유지관리와 양질의 서비스 제공에 큰 시사점을 제공한다.본 연구는 자연휴양림의 질적 수준 향상과 효율적인 운영관리를 위한 기초자료 제공을 목적으로 국유자연휴양림을 대상으로 이용자의 특성 및 이용행태를 분석한 것으로써 그 결과를 정리하면 다음과 같다.이용자는 남성, 20∼40대 청장년층의 이용률이 높게 나타났고 화이트칼라 직업군, 주부, 전문직, 자영업에 속한 비율이 높았다. 대다수가 숙박을 취하며 연 1∼2회 여름이나 가을, 가족 또는 친구/연인과 함께 이용한다. 주된 활동은 휴식과 산책/등산, 자연관찰 및 감상이었고, 주된 이용 시설은 산책로와 휴양림 내 조용한 곳이었다. 휴양림에서 가장 하고 싶은 활동은 산책/등산, 자연관찰 및 감상이었으며, 요구시설은 조용히 앉아 독서/사색할 수 있는 공간, 바닥이 걷기 편한 산책길로 나타났다. 이용자들이 생각하는 휴양림의 기능에 대해 살펴본 결과, 절반이 조용한 곳, 다양한 교육 프로그램으로 자연에 대한 교양을 넓힐 수 있는 곳으로 지목하였다. 휴양림 내 숲 관리 방향은 대부분이 자연 그대로의 모습으로 유지 관리되기를 원했고, 향기 나는 식물이 많은 숲, 야생화를 많이 볼 수 있는 숲, 단풍이 아름다운 나무들이 많은 숲의 모습을 선호했다. 이상의 결과를 통해, 이용자들에게 휴식, 휴양 및 자연체험의 기회를 충분히 제공하고 질적으로 높은 만족감을 선사하는 관리 및 운영 방안 확립이 필요할 것으로 본다. 따라서 본 연구를 통해 자연휴양림의 이용자 특성 및 이용행태를 파악하는 것은 산림휴양 욕구를 충족시킴은 물론 휴양의 질을 높이기 위해 가치 있는 과정이라 여겨진다. 더불어 휴양림 이용자들의 행동과정에 영향을 미치는 사회･심리적 요인, 휴양림 특성 요인에 대한 다양하고 세분화된 접근이 필요할 것으로 본다.

The Monitoring System developed in this study was designed to help manage the recreational forests by gathering data on visitors' profiles and their opinions about recreational use and related facilities. This data could identify for changing situations in forest recreation demand as well as providing information on planning the management and use of the forest areas in advance. The standardized questionnaire had contained visitor profiles, activities, distribution of use by area, distribution us by time, duration of the visit, expenditure of visitors and information on visitor satisfaction and motivation. Also, the questionnaire had included the evaluations visitors' perception of facilities in order to identify the importance and performance of the various facilities, such as recreational and educational facilities, accomodations, directional signs as well as infrastructure. The monitoring system was developed in the object-oriented programming (OOP) environment. Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 for the program language, Microsoft Access, and Excel program were used to develop the system. The monitoring system was composed of data input, database, and data analysis system. Once data were put into data input system, it automatically transferred to database, and it eventually produced the results of statistical analysis with one step procedure. This study was integrated with facilities and visitor monitoring system to identify the visitor impact at the recreational forests. In addition, this monitoring system would provide necessary and useful background information for management on recreational use of natural resources in a practical manner.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the characteristics and suggest the Improvement directions of the facilities in Recreational Forests. This study adopted such various analysis methods as reviewing related documents, surveying the existing sites, and using questionnaire to visitors and managers. The result of this study can be summarized as follows ; 1) The major facilities of Recreational Forests are the lodging, recreation, and sports ones. 2) The primary factor for the visitor's satisfaction is the quality of natural environment, but that for their dissatisfaction is the lack of variety of the available facility. 3) The major problems of facilities in Recreational Forests are their number and design. This study suggests the improvement of accessibility and design of the facilities in the Recreational Forests.
