마을숲은 농촌마을의 대표적 경관이자 녹지 환경으로서의 생태적 기능을 비롯하여 마을의 다양한 문화가 이루어지는 공간 제공의 기능을 가지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 생태계서비스의 개념적 틀을 응용하여 마을숲의 가치를 측정할 수 있는 평가 지표를 도출하고자 하였다. 먼저 생태계서비스 평가와 관련한 국제 기준의 검토를 통하여 평가지표로 공급, 조절, 지지, 문화의 4개 대분류를 설정하고 28개의 세부항목을 설정하였다. 마을숲과 관련된 21개의 문헌에서 나타난 마을숲의 기능, 역할, 효과 등을 평가 항목에 맞추어 분류하고 각 유형별 세부 내용을 고찰하였다. 과거와 현재의 마을숲 기능을 고려하여 전문가 브레인스토밍을 통해 4개 유형 24개의 평가 항목을 선정하였다. 도출된 평가 항목으로 4개 마을숲의 주민을 대상으로 중요도를 평가하여 신뢰성을 분석한 결과 24개 문항의 크론바흐 알파 계수가 0.857로, 신뢰성이 높은 수준이나, 공급의 3개 항목, 지지의 1개 항목을 제외하면 신뢰성이 더 높아진다. 또한 각 항목별로 중요도를 분석하면 공급기능은 중요도가 보통보다 낮은 수준이었으며 이는 현재 마을숲에서의 공급기능은 거의 이루어지지 않기 때문인 것으로 판단된다. 신뢰도와 중요도의 결과를 바탕으로 최근 마을숲에서 중요도가 낮은 공급 기능 3개 항목과 신뢰성이 낮았던 지지 기능 1개 항목 등 4개 항목을 제외한 20개 항목을 마을숲의 생태계서비스 평가지표로 도출하였다.

A village grove is the one fostered and protected for a district's traditional life near the vicinity of a ruderal village. This research is done to grasp potential natural vegetation, to use a basis data needed for its management and preservation as well as restoration project by examining the vegetation and flora targeting a village grove of the southern district of Gyeonggi-do which has been seriously damaged subsequent to a rapidly progressing city development. According to the survey, there appeared an outgrowth flora of Pteridophyta consisting of 69 families, 136 genera, 20 varieties, 3 forms, 170 species-totalling to 193 taxa. Urbanization index was revealed to 4.55% and naturalization rate 6.74%. In life-cycle pattern, perennials were found to show the highest distribution rate; in infiltration-multiplication strategies, human wave tactics type was found to be the highest 51%, consisting of 98 species, and naturalization rate also was revealed to be 6.74%. The vegetation unit was divided into a total of 11 patterns, such as a community of Pinus densiflora community, Pinus densiflora-Pinus rigida community, Pinus densiflora-Castanea crenata community, Pinus rigida community, Pinus rigida-Castanea crenata community, Pinus rigida-Quercus acutissima community, Castanea crenata community, Castanea crenata-Quercus acutissima community, Quercus acutissima community, Quercus acutissima-Robinia pseudo-acacia community and Robinia pseudo-acacia community. Quercus acutissima community is of a community type dominated by Quercus acutissima, in place of Pinus densiflora community selected by natural succession.

The purpose of this study is on identifying the function of ground temperature arrangement of village grove. Case study was accomplished at Hacho village grove in Jinan-gun, Jeonbuk province. Hacho village grove was the largest grove of all and most formal grove in Jinan region. So ground temperature of outside and inside of Hacho village grove were measured from March to October in 2001. And comparative review about difference between outside and inside of village grove was accomplished. Our ancestors, in spite of orient and occident, have made a settlement in consideration of climatic conditions. We have to team from past pattern and add modern scientific technology. So traditional wisdom and wise planning process must be considered in order to create qualitative residential environment in present through natural elements. It is identified that in winter, the inner side ground temperature is higher than outside one of that and in summer, in contrary, the inner side one of that is lower than outside one of that. So it is identified that Macho village grove breaks winds and reduce the heating energy in winter, it reduces ground temperature and reduces cooling energy very well in summer. It is identified that village grove reduce ground temperature in summer better than any other season. It is identified that in summer, the effect of maintaining constant temperature is also better than my other season. So it is identified that village grove stabilize most changeable outside temperature in inside of that.
