The purpose of this study is to approach more analytical facility management strategies for Korea national parks based on visitor awareness. Total number of 214 survey questionnaire of the visitors to a mountain type Deogyu National Park and a coastal type Taean National Park was analyzed employing importance-performance analysis. The result shows that Taean National Park has 4 attributes in 'keep up good work', 3 attributes in 'low priority', and 2 attributes in 'possible overkill'. Deogyu National Park has 3 attributes in 'keep up good work', 4 attributes in 'low priority', and 1 attribute in 'concentrate here'. Satisfaction level of the facility was above average and total satisfaction level of the visit was also higher than 3 points for each park. Deogyu National Park scored higher in both criteria, while Taean National Park was evaluated negative in all detailed items. It may be attributed to a visitor difference between a coastal type national park and a mountain type national park. To increase visitor satisfaction, it is a requirement for facility management to be based on use characteristic of an individual park by the type.

The purpose of this paper is to evaluate visitor satisfaction(VS) in waterfront parks in terms of resources, facilities, embodiment of theme(ET), site composition(SC), relaxation activity space(RAS), and dynamic activity space(DAS), which are supply-side components in the planning process of waterfront parks, in order to answer the research question; 'How is visitor satisfaction of waterfront parks determined?' After reviewing the literature on parks and the building process of waterfront parks in Korea, we constructed a conceptual framework and have ascertained a research hypothesis. We had obtained data through a questionnaire survey from 327 visitors at waterfront parks, based on the quota sampling method. We have analyzed the data using the path analysis method. We found that: 1) The direct effects of resources and facilities on VS turned out to be 0.273 and 0.306, respectively while the indirect effects are 0.114, 0.170, respectively. 2) The direct effects of SC, as a component of the planning process on VS, turned out to be 0.243 while that of ET had no affect on VS. The indirect effect of ET and SC on VS turned out to be 0.059 and 0.018, respectively. 3) The direct effects of RAS on VS turned out to be 0.129 while the indirect effects of RAS and DAS on VS turned out to be 0.002 and 0.017, respectively. 4) The size of causal effect, in order, were facilities, resources, SC, RAS, ET, and DAS. 5) Resources and facilities, as a park foundation, compose 64.84 percent of total causal effect while ET and SC have 24.04 percent and RAS and DAS have 11.12 percent, respectively. These research results imply that: 1) Existing waterfront parks should be regenerated with the embodiment of water related theme and with improved facilities for RAS and visitor programs and/or facilities for DAS. 2) The relationship among ET, SC, RAS and DAS should be increased for a significant improvement of VS, and 3) A process-oriented approach turned out to be highly useful for the development of substantive theory and methodology. It is recommended that a structural equation model on waterfront parks be developed using more empirical data and this approach be widely applied for testing its validity.

기술의 발전은 인간의 생활시간을 늘리는데 큰 역할을 하고 있다. 특히 조명 분야의 발전은 야간시간을 주간시간과 같이 늘리는데 지대한 역할을 하고 있다. 현재 야간의 활동 시간을 넓히는데 우요한 역할을 하던 조명의 역할이 경관의 활성화와 미적 공간 의 창출로 활용되고 있다. 또한 야간 조명은 건강과 복지에 대한 인간의 욕구를 야간 시간의 활용을 통하여 충족시킬 수 있도록 도와주고 있다. 이러한 상황에서 근린공원 의 야간 시간 이용자들이 늘어나고 있으며 야간 조명이 근린공원 이용자들의 만족도를 향상시키는 중요한 도구로 작용하고 있다. 본 연구는 근린공원 이용의 만족도와 안전성을 높이는 야간 조명의 배치를 법적 기준에 근거한 평면적 접근법에서 수목의 배치와 생육상태를 고려한 입체적 접근법으로 시뮬레이션 접근법을 제안한다.

기존의 많은 연구가 도시공원의 중요성을 밝히고 있지만, 보다 만족스런 공원조성을 위한 기본 자료의 부족으로 전통적인 설계방법은 경침이나 설계기준(standard)에 크게 의존하는 것이 현실이다. 그러나 전통적인 설계방법은 시간적, 사회적으로 변화하는 이용자의 욕구 충족과 창의성의 제고에는 문제점이 있다. 이러한 현상의 부분적인 이유는 객관적이고 보편성이 있는 공원 매력도 측정 방법의 결여로, 각 공원에서의 이용자 만족도의 그 이유를 체계적으로 분석하여 실제상황에의 적용이 어렵기 때문이다. 이에 본 연구는 공원의 매력도가 같다면 가장 가까운 공원을 이용할 것이라는 가정하에서 가장 논리적인 수학적 방법을 통해 기존 도시공원내의 매력도를 산출할 수 있는 모델을 제시하였다. 제시된 모델은 두개 이상의 공원이 존재해야 하며, 응답자의 거주지가 확인되어야 측정이 가능하다.

The city square is an important public open space for people. Being used for various activities, such as community gatherings, open markets, concerts, political rallies, and other events, many types of city squares are represented in a city. Nevertheless, most city squares are planned uniformly, lacking consideration for visitor behavior and use satisfaction. The study investigated the design factors and subcomponents influencing user satisfaction with different types of city squares. This study focused on the general city square in Seoul, including the grand public place (i.e. Gwanghwamun Square) and the neighborhood park (i.e. Geumbit Square). The data were analyzed using factor analysis, linear regression and fuzzy theory. The results of the study are as follows: first, five design factors of satisfaction with city squares are identified (Amenity, Usability, Spatial components, Culture, and Comfortableness). Second, Amenity, Comfortableness, and spatial components significantly affect user satisfaction with Gwanghwamun in that order. On the other hand, in Geumbit Square, Comfortableness, Amenity, Usability and Spatial components affect user satisfaction in a significant way, in that order. Third, cleanliness, a subcomponent of amenity, was ranked highest using the fuzzy theory function for satisfaction with Gwanghwamun Square. Otherwise, the prevalence of plants was ranked the highest on the Geumbit Square survey. The study compared design factors influencing satisfaction in the public grand place and the neighborhood park. The results have implications for designing and planning city squares to the satisfaction of their visitors.

This study was an effort to identify the reasons for use or underuse of neighborhood parks in Fort Wayne, Indiana and to suggest the solutions for the problems found. The significant differences between under and heavily used parks were found by the quantity and quality of each park's facilities and by the racial characteristics of residents around the each park. Environmental and social factors, and user satisfaction with their neighborhood park are suggested to be the solutions.

This study aims at analysing the differences on visitors' satisfactory level based-on personal lifestyles in a Korean national park. The lifestyles were classified and differences of satisfaction level among the groups were verified from a questionnaire survey in Bukhansan National Park, Korea. Lifestyles by the factor analysis, 5 factors were sorted. 4 clusters classified as the suitable clusters by clustering analysis. As a result from differences of satisfaction level on the lifestyle types, satisfaction level for each cluster has been shown to be statistically meaningful difference. Satisfaction level in active tendency cluster was the highest among the 4 cluster types(Social>Individual>Passive cluster). Satisfaction differences according to the lifestyles suggests that a fragmented approach is needed rather than an integrated approach for managing facilities and programs in Korean national park system.

Paticipation motivation and satisfaction were analyzed to show the relatonships with various variables, From the factor analysis, 4 dimensions of motivation were identified: activity paticipation, religious / scientific inquiry, landscape enjoymentm, and social contact. The motivation dimension, crowdness measure, and other related variables were analyzed to construct satifactrion model using multiple regression. Behavior of each variable in the model was disscussed with implications for the future research.

This study was designed to provide basic visitor information for establishing effective visitor management strategies. A questionnaire survey was carried on at major entry points(Dobong district) in Bukhansan National Park. 239 random samples of visitor were chosen to represent general visitor population. As for the results from comparing other studies, some differences of demographic characteristics(age, income, occupation etc.) and use patterns(purpose, group types etc.) exist. Total visitors' satisfaction level with the area was relatively high. However, negative impacts on the trails and trash problem by increasing visitor numbers due to abrogating admission fee were indicated as the managerial priority in Bukhansan National Park.

야간 조명은 건강과 복지에 대한 인간의 욕구를 야간시간의 활용을 통하여 충족시킬 수 있도록 도와주고 있다. 또한 조명은 경관의 활성화와 미적 공간 창출의 유용한 도구로 이용되고 있어 근린공원에서의 조명은 주간과 다른 분위기를 제공하여 이용자들의 만족도를 높여주고 있다. 하지만 위험 요인을 가지고 있는 공원에서는 심미적 효과뿐만 아니라 이용자들의 보행 안전을 위한 야간 조명설계의 중요성이 강조된다. 본 연구는 야간 근린공원 이용자들의 보행 안전을 고려한 조명설계를 위하여 시뮬레이션 접근법을 이용하여 대안 조명품질을 비교한다. 기존에 설치된 조명기구와 타 조명기구를 시뮬레이션으로 비교함으로써 조명설계시 시뮬레이션 접근법의 유용성을 제안한다.
