The objective of the present study is to analyze whether there is a difference in visit experience that is based on scenic site types and to identify the influence factors of satisfaction with scenic site visits. In doing so, this study aims to provide policy-related implications for improving the scenic site categorization process with utilization in mind and for improving scenic site visitors’ experience and satisfaction levels. To this end, the study selected five representative scenic sites by scenic site type, categorized them based on the assumption that the scenic sites will be utilized as government- designated cultural assets, and conducted a survey among the visitors at the target sites. Through the survey, 654 samples were collected and used for ANOVA and regression analysis. Analysis results showed that scenic site visitors were found to travel by car about two hours on average and that approximately half of the visitors visit a scenic site without knowing its designation status. A similar trend was manifested in all scenic site types. The results of analyzing visitor experience in scenic sites showed that most visitors frequently experience the aesthetic and escapism of scenic sites while their education experience and the entertainment experience were relatively low. In addition, there was a minor discrepancy between the characteristics of scenic site type and the visitors’ actual experience; it is speculated that such a tendency arises because the current conditions and policy for utilizing scenic sites fail to fully reflect the characteristics of the resources that each scenic site has. The result of analyzing the influence factors on scenic site visit satisfaction showed that visitors’ experience levels had a stronger impact on visit satisfaction than visitors’ individual characteristics or user behavior characteristics did. In conclusion, the findings of the present study have the following implications: In order to eliminate the discrepancy between the characteristics of scenic site type and the actual experience of visitors, it is necessary to establish utilization strategies based on scenic site types; in order to improve scenic site visitors’ satisfaction levels, it is crucial to promote a scenic site utilization policy that focuses on visitor experience.
본 연구는 외가방문 지원사업에 참여했던 다문화가정 한국인 아빠들의 경험의 의미를 심층적으로 살펴보고자 한 연구로, 2016-2018년에 외가방문 지원사업에 참여했던 11 가족의 부모 8명, 자녀 6명을 연구참여자로 선정하고, 심층면담을 통해 자료를 수집하고, 분석했다. 연구결과, 다문화가정의 한국인 아빠들이 가족들과 자녀의 외가를 방문했던 경험은 자녀의 외가 가족에 대한 이해 높이기, 자녀교육 주체로서의 역할을 인식하기, 가족의 범위를 넓히 기의 의미가 있었던 것으로 나타났다. 자녀의 외가 가족에 대한 이해 높이기는 ‘자녀의 외가 문화를 이해하려 노력하기’와 ‘자녀의 외가에서 부인의 입장 이해하기’로, 자녀교육 주체로서의 역할을 인식하기는 ‘자녀에게 관심을 기울이기’와 ‘자녀 이중언어 교육의 필요성을 인식하고 실천하기’로, 가족의 범위 넓히기는 ‘부인의 가족을 나의 가족으로 받아들이기’와 ‘한국인 아빠들 간 연대 형성하기’로 나타났다. 본 연구결과는 결혼이민자의 모국 방 문 지원사업들이 다문화가정의 아빠 역할을 지원하고, 다문화적 정체성을 형성하는데 기여 하는 방향으로 전개되어야 함을 시사한다.
