Abstract

This study aims to understand the time-based moving pattern and suggest management strategies through surveying the number of visitors from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. for 3 days of each season in 3 key sites (Jeungsimsa district, Wonhyosa district and Jungmeorijae) of Mudeungsan Provincial Park. Majority of visitors who entered through Jeungsimsa district and Wonhyosa district visited the Mudeungsan provincial park from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., and the number of enterers reached the peak from 10 to 11 in the morning. Majority of the visitors left the Mudeungsan provincial park from noon to 5 p.m.. The number of leavers showed the peak between 2 and 4 in the afternoon. Most of visitors who moved via Jungmeorijae from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. climbed toward Jangbuljae or Jungbong or came down to Jeungsimsa district or Wonhyosa district. The number of enterers hit the highest from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.. However, there was no stark difference in the time-based moving pattern of each season and days of week. The special intensive management such as providing visitor service, conducting a campaign and restoring the damaged land in concentrated site and time is needed for conserving natural resources and improving visitors satisfaction.

무등산도립공원 주요 거점의 시간대별 탐방객 이동패턴을 파악하여 관리방안을 제안하기 위해 증심사지구, 원효사지구, 중머리재 등 주요 지점에서 계절별로 3일씩, 오전 7시부터 오후 7시까지 출입하는 탐방객 수를 조사하였다. 조사결과 무등산도립공원 주요 출입구인 증심사지구와 원효사지구에서는 대부분 오전 9시부터 오후 2시 사이에 입장하였고, 오전 10시에서 11시 사이에 입장객 수가 가장 많았다. 퇴장시간은 대부분 오전 12시부터 오후 5시 사이였으며, 피크시간은 오후 2시부터 4시 사이었다. 중머리재를 방문하는 탐방객들은 대부분 오전 11시에서 오후 3시 사이에 중머리재를 경유하여 장불재나 중봉방향으로 등산하거나 증심사지구나 원효사지구로 하산하였는데 오전 11시부터 오후 1시까지가 피크시간 이였다. 한편, 요일과 계절에 따른 시간대별 이동 패턴에는 뚜렷한 경향이 나타나지 않았다. 공원자원 보전과 탐방만족도 증진을 위해서 탐방객이 집중되는 장소와 시간을 중심으로 탐방안내, 캠페인, 훼손지복원 등 집중관리가 필요하다.
