본 연구의 목적은 산림치유 프로그램 개발을 위한 기초자료를 제공하는데 있다. 본 연구는 탐색적 연구로 산림치유 잠재수요자의 산림치유 프로그램 선호도가 무엇인지 파악하게 함으로써, 산림치유 프로그램을 개발하고 운영하는데 중요한 기초자료가 될 것이라고 생각된다. 일반 성인 남 여 620명을 대상으로 산림치유 프로그램의 선호도에 관한 설문조사를 실시하였다. 자료분석은 SPSS 21.0 프로그램을 사용하여 빈도분석(Frequency analysis), T검정(T-test), 일원분산분석(One-way ANOVA)을 통해 성별, 연령, 직업에 따른 산림치유 프로그램 선호도의 차이를 살펴보았다. 산림치유 프로그램 선호도가 성별, 연령, 직업 등에 따라 다양하다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 첫째, 성별에 따라, 남성은 여성에 비해 숲속 운동회, 캠핑을 선호하고, 여성은 남성에 비해 전반적인 프로그램에서 선호도가 높은 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 연령에 따라서 다른 연령과 비교해서 20대는 스트레스 평가와 진단, 음식 만들기, 숲속 사진치료 등, 30대는 자유롭게 숲속 걷기, 상담, 강의 듣기(스트레스, 대인관계 관련), 비전 세우기 등, 40대는 명상, 경관보기, 삼림욕, 풍욕, 일광욕, 맨발로 숲속 걷기 등, 50대는 호흡법 호흡체조, 요가, 등산, 묵언 산행, 자연음식 먹기 등의 프로그램을 각각 특히 선호하는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 직업에 따른 산림치유 프로그램 선호도를 살펴보면 다음과 같다. 다른 직업과 비교해서 학생은 스트레스 평가와 진단, 음식 만들기 등을, 교사는 자유롭게 숲속걷기, 등산, 숲속 독서, 경관보기, 삼림욕 풍욕 일광욕, 캠핑 등을, 주부는 요가, 물 흐르는 소리 듣기, 허브차 마시기, 자연음식 먹기 등을, 전문 연구직은 호흡법 호흡체조, 묵언산행, 명상, 숲속 잠자기 등을 각각 선호하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구의 분석 결과가 성인을 대상으로 하는 산림치유 프로그램 개발을 위한 기초자료로 활용되기를 기대한다.
