Abstract

This study aimed to improve the quality of forest healing program through analyses of the program activities given at National Healing Forest and surveys conducted by Korea Forest Service. 99 DB data of the healing forest that were surveyed by KFS (August 2015~April 2016) were collected in order to affirm the activities. We analysed DB based on the format of the survey by target, 6 healing factors, location, season, time periods, operation hours and multifaceted evaluation. The results showed that the activities in the forest healing program targeted general public and the factor that was considered the most was psychotherapy factor. Healing forest trails were used as a location, spring, summer and fall as season, morning and afternoon as time period for the majority of the activities. The running time was 60 minutes. The multifaceted evaluation revealed that dynamic activities were preferred the most in development of programs. According to the results of the forest healing programs, it seems to be critical to enhance forest healing instructors' diversified professionalism. However, this will only be achievable once further investigations regarding forest healing effects by types of illnesses are conducted and provide solid foundation for such professionalism.

본 연구는 2015년 8월부터 2016년 4월까지 산림청이 조사한 국유치유의 숲에서 진행된 프로그램 활동내용을 분석하여 산림치유 프로그램의 질적 향상을 위한 방안을 모색하였다. 조사된 치유의 숲에서 진행된 프로그램 활동내용 DB자료 99개를 수집하여 활동내용을 확인하고, 조사 양식에 따라 대상자, 6대 요법(인자), 장소, 계절, 시간대, 운영시간, 다면평가에 따라 구분하여 분석하였다. 분석 결과 산림치유 프로그램 활동을 구성할 때 대상자는 대체로 일반적인 대상을 상대로 구성하며, 6대 요법 중 가장 많이 고려된 인자는 정신건강인자였다. 장소는 치유숲길을 가장 많이 활용하였으며, 계절은 봄 여름 가을, 시간대는 오전 오후 모두 가능한 활동이 대부분이었다. 또한, 1개 활동의 운영시간은 60분이, 다면평가에서는 동적인 활동이 프로그램 개발 시 가장 선호되었다. 개발된 산림치유 프로그램의 활동내용을 분석한 결과 산림치유 프로그램의 질적 향상을 위하여 산림치유 프로그램을 개발하는 산림치유지도사의 세분화된 전문성이 강화되어야 할 것이다. 그러나 질환별 산림치유 효과에 대한 연구가 먼저 선행되어야 입증된 연구를 바탕으로 전문성을 갖출 수 있을 것이다.
