Abstract

This study developed the Assessment Indicator evaluating eco-cultural value of temple forest in Korea and applied the developed Assessment Indicator to Songgwang-sa(also known as Seungbo-sachal), one of the Three Jewels Temple. Literature reviews and the draft of Assessment Indicator were drawn from brainstorming(including 2 forest therapy experts, 1 Buddhist monk expert, 1 landscape architect, 1 forest expert, and 6 researchers). After that, the Assessment Indicator drawn from the group of experts(the 1st in-depth interview: 32 people, the 2nd in-depth interview: 30 people) was verified and revised. The final Assessment Indicator, which was composed of 4 parts and 20 items, was developed. The results are as follows. The eco-cultural Assessment Indicator of temple forest was composed of 4 parts, which were Historical Cultural value, Ecological value, Recreatory Visitational value, and Educational Useful value, and 20 items and each item had 5 points. Historical Cultural value had 5 items and its total points were 25. Ecological value had 5 items and had total 25 points. Recreatory Visitational value had 6 items, 30 total points. Educational Useful value had 4 items, 20 total points. The total points of the eco-cultural Assessment Indicator were 100 points. As a result of applying the developed Assessment Indicator to the target place, Songgwang-sa in Mt. Jogye, Historical Cultural value of temple forest was calculated as 23 points(out of 25). Ecological value was 21 point(out of 25), Recreatory Visitational value, 22 points(out of 30), and Educational Useful value, 16 points(out of 20). The total points were 82(out of 100). Consequently, this study is meaningful based on the following 5 aspects. Firstly, this study challenged the development of the eco-cultural Assessment Indicator of temple forest for the first time. It is significant because the developed Assessment Indicator can be a useful resource for the eco-cultural value of temple forest. Secondly, the result showed that Educational Useful value and Recreatory Visitational value of forest temple were very low. Therefore, the supports for leisure, tour, education, and use of temple forest are needed from Korea Forest Service, Ministry of Environment, Cultural Heritage Administration and other government agencies since they acknowledge the temple forest as the best customers in Korea. Thirdly, the excellence or for eco-cultural value of temple forest needs to be extended in a national level. It is possible to make a Korean National Bran(e.g., the Therapy at the Temple) by blending temple stay, which is only in temples, and therapy, and is also possible to be a global tour industry. Fourthly, this study suggested legal definition about the necessary of legal definition for temple forest because there is no legal definition on temple forest in the current situation. When the definition of temple forest is legally arranaged, it would be a foundation for conserving eco-cultural value of temple forest, for organizing exclusively responsible departments in governmental institutions, and further for registering temple forest as World Natural Heritage. Lastly, the developed eco-cultural Assessment Indicators of temple forest from this study would be applied to "the 7 Sansa, Buddhist Mountain Monasteries in Korea(Sansa)" and the characteristics of each 7 temple are drawn. This study would be a basic data for temples' management and use with the eco-cultural Assessment Indicator of temple forest.

본 연구는 우리나라 사찰림의 생태문화적 가치를 평가하는 평가지표를 개발하고, 개발된 사찰림의 평가지표를 삼보사찰의 한 곳인 송광사(승보사찰)에 적용하였다. 브레인스토밍(숲치유 전문가 2인, 불교계 산림전문가 스님 1인, 산림1인, 연구자 포함 6인)을 통하여 문헌연구와 평가지표 초안을 도출하였고, 이후 전문가그룹(1차:32명, 2차:30명) 심층인터뷰(FGI)를 5점 리커트 설문조사방법으로 도출한 최종평가지표 4개 영역 20개 항목을 기초로 실행한 연구 결과는 다음과 같다. 사찰림의 생태문화적 평가지표에 대해 4개 영역 20개 평가항목으로 각각 5점으로 하였으며 역사문화적 가치는 5개 항목으로 총 25점을, 생태적 가치는 5개 항목으로 총 25점, 휴양 관광적 가치는 6개 항목 총 30점, 교육 이용적 가치는4개 항목 총 20점으로 각각 배점하여 총점을 100점으로 하였다. 개발된 평가지표를 연구대상지인 조계산 송광사를 대상으로 적용한 결과, 사찰림의 역사 문화적 가치가 25점 만점에 23점, 생태적 가치는 25점 만점에 21점, 휴양 관광적 가치는 30점 만점에 22점, 교육 이용적 가치는 20점 만점에 16점을 차지하여 총 82점의 결과치가 도출되었다. 이번 연구에 대한 의미는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 최초로 사찰림의 생태문화적 지표를 개발했다는 것에 의미를 가지고, 사찰림의 생태문화적가치에 대한 활용자료가 될 수 있음에 의미를 가진다. 둘째, 사찰림의 생태문화적 평가지표를 가지고 송광사 사찰림을 평가한 결과, 사찰림의 휴양 관광적 가치와 교육 이용적 가치가 매우 낮았다. 이러한 이유에서 사찰림을 국내 최고의 고객으로 인정하는 산림청과 환경부, 문화재청 등은 사찰림의 관광, 휴양, 교육, 이용을 위한 지원을 해야 한다고 할 수 있다. 셋째, 사찰림의 생태문화적 가치에 대한 우수성에 대해 국가적 차원에서 연구하여 사찰림만이 가지는 템플스테이와 치유를 접목한 가칭 "사찰림에서의 치유"와 같은 국가브랜드를 만들어 세계적인 관광산업이 되기를 바란다. 넷째, 사찰림에 대한 법적정의가 없는 현 상황에서 사찰림에 대한 법적정의의 필요성에 대하여 법적정의를 제안하였다. 이러한 사찰림의 정의가 법률적으로 마련되면 사찰림의 생태문화적 가치에 대한 보호 및 활용적 측면에서 국가기관에 전담부서를 조직하고 더 나아가 사찰림을 세계자연문화유산으로도 등재하는데 기초가 될 것으로 판단된다. 다섯째, 이번 연구의 결과로 나온 사찰림에 대한 생태문화적 평가지표를 바탕으로 유네스코 세계문화유산으로 등재된 "산사, 한국의 산지 승원"에 적용해서 각 사찰마다의 특징을 도출하여 사찰의 관리 또는 활용에 기초자료가 될 것이다.
