Abstract

It is necessary to build a quality-enhancing forest leisure sports facility according to values that value life quality, national forest policy. Vita Parcours (fitness trails) is found to be the activities highly convenient, so their introduction and promotion in Korea should be highly considered. field survey was necessary to explore the possibility of installing Vita Parcours. Several sites were selected, such as Asean recreational forest, Unaksan recreational forest, Yumyeongsan recreational forest, Saneum recreational forest, Jungmisan recreational forest and National center for forest therapy. At these locations, we explored the current status of forest facilities and forest trails. A total number of 31 exercise facilities has been identified and surveyed, some of which are located on the trails (2), alongside the trail (9), alongside trail boundaries (2) or represent facilities suitable for both outdoor and indoor exercise within the forest (18), all of whom provide location for 44 different exercise routines (flexibility exercises (23), endurance (12) and strength exercises (9)). Field work also included identification of forests paths, the total number of whom was 34 paths - 30 identified as trails, 2 as hiking trails, 1 as a forest path for relaxation and healing and 1 as an exploratory path. Regarding the structure and shape of these trails, 32 was straight in shape and only 2 designed as a circular forest trails. Average length of these trails was 652.2m with the highest and the lowest point altitude difference of 60m, on average. Saneum recreational forest provide the most suitable site/environment for Vita Parcours and as a result of this, Saneum recreational forest is proposed as a location to support the endeavors in promotion of these valuable forest fitness trails. Among the forest paths at this site, a forest path which has a length of 1.84km and 73.0m the highest and the lowest point altitude difference was selected as the most suitable, and may be equipped with necessary stations for exercise or obstacles. In addition, if these trails are to be introduced and welcomed by its users, we must assure that they are properly maintained.

삶의 질을 중시하는 가치관, 산림 기본계획 등 시대적인 변화에 따라 질적으로 향상된 산림레포츠 시설조성이 요구되고 있다. 따라서 국내 산림레포츠시설보다 이용 편의가 높은 Vita Parcours의 도입 검토가 필요하다고 판단하였다. 본 연구는 Vita Parcours의 도입 가능성을 검토해보기 위해 아세안 자연휴양림, 운악산 자연휴양림, 유명산 자연휴양림, 중미산 자연휴양림, 산음 자연휴양림, 양평 치유의 숲 등 수도권 산림복지시설의 운동시설과 숲길 현황을 파악하였다. 조사결과 운동시설은 총 31개이며 시설당 평균 5.2개가 조성되어 있었다. 조성 위치는 숲길 안 2개, 숲길 옆 9개, 숲길 경계 2개, 숲길 외 장소에 위치한 경우는 18개로 나타났다. 또한 운동 동작은 총 44개이며 민첩성 23개, 지구력 12개, 근력 9개로 나타났다. 숲길은 총 34개이며 시설 당 평균 5.7개가 조성되어 있었다. 법정 숲길 종류는 트레일 30개소, 둘레길 2개소, 휴양 치유숲길 1개소, 탐방로 1개소로 조사되었다. 형태는 직선형 32개, 환상형 2개이며 평균 길이 652.6m, 고도차 60.0m로 나타났다. 이들 대상지의 숲길 환경을 Vita Parcours가 지닌 지형, 거리, 경사 등 특성과 비교 분석한 결과 산음 자연휴양림이 가장 유사한 것으로 나타났다. 또한 산음 자연휴양림 안에는 현재 치유의 숲이 운영되고 있고 우수한 임상을 지니고 있기 때문에 Vita Parcours를 도입하기에 가장 잠재력이 높고 타당성이 높은 곳이다. 따라서 Vita Parcours 도입 시 정책적 도움을 주기 위해 산음 자연휴양림 내에 도입 후보지를 제안하였다. 산음휴양림 내 길이 1.84km, 고도차 73.0m의 숲길을 선정하였으며, 운동지점과 전체 운동 동작 수는 Vita Parcours와 동일하게 설계하였다. 그리고 산음휴양림 내 Vita Parcours 시설 조성 시 이용자의 이용 편의를 위해 적정한 숲길 정비가 필요하다고 판단된다.
