초록

관광의 패러다임이 변화하고 지질을 보호하고 보존해야하는 유산으로 인식하기 시작하면서 지오투어리즘과 지질공원의 개념이 등장하였다. 유네스코와 각 국가에서 지정하는 지질공원이 세계적으로 늘고 있다. 본 논문은 제주 지질공원이 지질 교육의 장으로서 기능하기 위한 발전 방향을 제시하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 지질공원의 교육, 안내의 매체와 시설현황을 검토하고, 지질 교육에 필요한 조건이 무엇인지 살펴보았다. 연구 방법은 자료 조사, 현장 답사, 설문 조사, 인터뷰로 이를 통해 지질공원 전반의 교육 및 안내 체계, 물리적 공간 구성과 운영 및 관리 방식의 현황을 검토하였다. 연구 과정은 다음과 같다. 먼저, 자료 조사 자료를 중심으로 유네스코 평가 기준에 맞춰 제주 지질공원의 교육과 안내의 현황을 분석하였다. 둘째, 지질 탐방로, 공간 구성과 배치, 안내와 교육 시설, 안내판의 체계와 디자인의 4가지 항목을 중심으로 지질명소 내에서 이루어지는 교육과 안내 시설과 매체 현황을 분석하고 평가하였다. 셋째, 설문 조사를 통해 지질공원 방문객의 인식과 만족도를 파악하였다. 넷째, 관계자 인터뷰를 통해 제주 지질공원의 잠재력과 한계를 정리하였다. 분석 결과를 종합적으로 고찰하여, 효과적인 지질 교육을 위해서는 지질공원의 탐방 환경, 안내 매체, 운영 관리 제도적 차원에서 보완이 필요하다고 제언하였다. 이를 바탕으로 지질공원 개선 방향을 제시하였고, 평가 기준에 따른 관리 및 유지, 탐방환경의 질적 개선, 안내 매체와 시설의 내용 보완, 운영 및 관리 조직과 체계의 4가지 차원에서 발전이 요구된다.

The concepts of geotourism and geoparks have emerged due to the paradigm shift in tourism and the increased recognition of geosites and geoheritage as legacies that must be protected and preserved. The number of geoparks designated by UNESCO and national governments is increasing globally. The purpose of this paper is to propose directions for enhancing Jeju Geopark to perform as a geological educational venue. This study reviewed the present conditions of the education and communication, the media, and the facilities of the geopark with respect to the required conditions to be effective for geological education. Data surveys, field surveys, visitor questionnaires, and interviews were conducted to examine the educational and guidance system of the geopark, the physical space configuration, and the operation and management methods. The research process is as follows. First, the study analyzed the status of the education and communication in Jeju Geopark, according to the criteria of the UNESCO GGN, using data acquired from the survey. Second, the study analyzed and evaluated the educational and communication facilities, and media, focusing on four aspects of the geopark: the geo-trail, spatial composition and layout, communicational and educational facilities, and the system and design of signboards. Third, the study assessed the perception and satisfaction of visitors to the geopark. Fourth, the study summarized the potential and limitations of the Jeju Geopark through in-depth interviews. The four analyses showed that enhancements in the exploration environment, communication, media, and operation and management system are all necessary for effective geological education. Based on these results, this study suggests directions for enhancing the geopark in the four following aspects. Management and maintenance must be improved to meet UNESCO criteria, while the improvements in the visiting environment quality, the supplementing of communication and facilities, and enhancements in the organization and system of operation and management also must be taken on.
