최근 태풍, 국지성 호우로 인한 피해가 증가하면서 산사태의 피해도 크게 증가하며 이에 따른 인명피해 및 재산피해가 늘어나고 있다. 우리나라는 국토의 대부분이 산악지형으로 이루어져 있고 경사가 심하며, 도시화로 인한 산지인근의 개발로 인해 산사태의 피해가 증가하는 추세이다. 따라서 산사태의 발생을 예측하고 분석하기 위한 여러 가지 예측기법과 산사태 위험성 분석에 대한 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 또한 매년 등산객들에 의한 산악지형의 활용이 늘어나고 있어 이에대한 안전성 검토가 이루어져야 한다. 본 연구에서는 설악산국립공원의 개방탐방로를 중심으로 각 구간별 인명피해 발생 우려 요인에 대한 분석을 통하여 탐방객 안전관리 방안을 모색하였다. 탐방로 구간의 위험성을 평가하기 위해 대상범위를 설악산국립공원으로 하고 2007년~2013년도의 산지재해이력을 활용하여 GIS기법인 Buffer Zone을 이용하여 분석하였다. 동시에 2013년 10월 설악산국립공원 현지방문을 통해 위험지역을 조사하고 산지재해위험지역이 탐방로 구간에 미치는 영향을 파악하였다.

본 연구는 숲길 경관과 숲길 가장자리 임목밀도에 대한 대중의 관념적, 시각적 선호도를 조사 분석한 것이다. 그 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 관념적 조사로 행해진 숲길 경관 선호도의 경우, 울창하고 아늑하고 좁은 숲길을 울창하고 밝고 넓은 숲길보다 더 선호하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 곡선으로 구불구불한 숲길이 직선으로 곧게 뻗은 숲길보다, 포장되지 않은 숲길이 포장된 숲길보다 선호도가 높게 나타났다. 숲길 가장자리 수종 구성과 관련하여 침엽수와 활엽수가 섞여 있는 숲길의 선호도가 침엽수, 활엽수로 조성된 숲길보다 높게 나타났다. 자연 그대로의 숲길을 길가에 꽃나무나 풀꽃 등을 심어놓은 숲길보다 더 선호했고, 숲 길가를 자연 그대로 살려 둔 숲길의 선호도가 풀깎기 등으로 잘 정리된 숲길보다 높게 나타났다. 숲길 가장자리의 잣나무림의 흉고직경별 입목간격에 따른 모습을 모델링하여 시각적 선호도를 조사한 결과, 일반소경재(D<25)에 해당하는 흉고직경 24(cm)의 경우, 2∼5(m) 범위의 입목간격에서 3m, 우량중경재(25≤D<40)에 해당하는 흉고직경 35(cm)의 경우, 3∼6(m) 범위의 입목간격에서 4m, 우량대경재(40≤D)에 속하는 흉고직경 45(cm)의 경우 4∼7(m) 범위의 입목간격에서 5m의 경관 선호도가 가장 높게 나타났다. 현재 치유의 숲 조성 정책이 활발히 추진되고 있는 반면, 치유의 숲 조성을 위한 산림경관의 조성 및 관리에 대한 연구와 체계는 미흡한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구결과는 치유의 숲 조성정책에 부응하여 경관의 시각적 질 향상을 통해 치유효과를 높이기 위한 산림경관관리의 기초자료로써 활용을 기대한다. 한편, 본 연구결과는 방문객이 기대하고 요구하는 숲길 경관의 이미지 파악은 가능하나, 가상의 풍경이나 응답자의 관념적 선호도에 기반하여 도출된 것이므로 실제 산림현장에 대한 반응과는 다르게 나타날 수 있는 한계점이 있다. 따라서 향후 풍부한 현장감을 통해 경관반응을 도출할 수 있는 후속 연구와 더불어 선호도 파악에서 나아가 선호 경관이 실제 인체의 생리적 반응과도 일치하는지에 대한 고찰이 필요한 바이다.

In recent years, over 100 trails were created in Korea, and Jeju Olle and Jiri Mt. Doolle trail are the most familiar and successful trails in Korea. The research aimed to find relationship between fair tourism and long distance trails. In the first step, we investigated the concept of fair tourism, and deducted 8 key-words; 1)local participation 2)resource sharing 3)provision of unique social, cultural resources 4)sovereignty of local culture 5)small_scale, low impact, eco-friendly 6)sustainable infrastructure 7)revitalize local community 8)comprehensive accommodation of a diverse tourists. Through the analysis of 3 representative sites of long distance trails, we tried to find out the distinct characteristics of fair tourism of the selected sites with evaluating criteria that was provided by UNEP and related organizations. The finding of the study could contribute to defining concept of fair tourism, and by doing so, attribute in setting up a framework of designing and planning of long distance trail under the concept of fair tourism that diverse parties could co-benefit, including local community, local government and tourists.

In recent years, the number of walking-tourists who visit Jeju olle trail are increasing every year and the ripple effect is a rapid change on the roles and leadership of local people in rural villages. The reason for the change is that most Jeju Olle Trails cuts through the rural village in Jeju island. However, most of travelers just walked along the trails, no one was interested about villages along the Olle roads. For these reasons, many rural villages would not get any benefits such as non-farm income, sales profit and also can not activate the facility of village and infrastructure. Therefore, we study on Revitalization Method for rural villages through the Analysis of characteristics of tourist in Jeju Olle Trails and a field survey research too. In this process, we investigated the status and characteristics of the rural villages of Jeju island in the first step. Then, we considered the distinct characteristics and factors for improving of the 10 places with site investigation where were recommended by Jeju Olle Corporation and Jeju Agricultural Technology Center in second step. Lastly, we arranged the resident's requirement and result of survey and interview with leaders of rural village. As a result, we suggest the activation methods for residents and leaders of rural area and this study is also expected to help management of rural villages and also is an important study to improve importance of utilizing of more people visiting in Jeju Olle Trails.

In recent years, the central ministries and regional self are competitively developing program for creating a trail and theme path by the increase of the number of trekkers. Even though these projects are developed in rural areas, it has been pointed out that most of projects do not directly linked to the revitalization of rural villages and improvement of non-farm income because of the main road itself as a resource in rural area. Therefore, in this study, we try to connect the citizen and the agriculture and rural area through the development of the green road which is the experience road with rural resource. To achieve this, we investigated the status and characteristics of the 36 villages where are the village was promoted various major project of first step. In second step, we considered the distinct characteristics of the area with conference of expert and site investigation for the final selection of 15 villages. Through two rounds' expert group consulting with checking, related literatures review and similar case-projects benchmarking, a riverside green road which is linked long distance trail and adjacent to the riverside was developed 15 courses by 2-development types proposed.

Long distance trail or trail system planning is the first important step in transforming your vision into reality. Planning presents a vision for a trail or trail system and brings a comprehensive, long-range perspective. The master plan provides solid, credible recommendations for developing a trail or trail system that is safe, convenient, well used, supported by local residents, practicality to implement, and customized to meet the needs of the community, you will need to follow a logical planning. The key elements of master planning includes site assessment, vision, goals and objectives, routing and design, implementation strategies. Trails or trail systems should provide linkages to popular destinations, safely accommodate a variety of users, and be sensitive to any negative impacts on the natural environment and wildlife. Trails planners also need to think about how the trail, or trail system will function in the future as areas are developed or trail population increases. All of these factors during the planning process will ensure the existence of high-quality facilities for years to come. Project for Nakdong-jungmaek trail planning combine long distance trail with circuit way. That project is a planning brought out the best in each of Tokai natural way and Cotswold way. That is planning which is combined a wooded trail in Tokai natural way with access and facilities improving economy in Cotswold way. Also That planning embraces a core cultural center which is concerned forest or wood to come more people.
