제주 내 크게 6개 지역에 흩어져 분포하고 있는 곶자왈은 화산활동으로 형성되었으며 제주 산림생물자원의 46%가 분포하여 생물종다양성이 매우 높은 것으로 알려져 있다. 곶자왈은 자갈과 바위로 이루어져 있으며 토양이 적게 발달하여 건조에 직면할 가능성이 크다. 본 연구는 곶자왈에서 서식하는 멸종위기종이자 산림청에서 희귀식물로 지정한 개가시나무(Quercus gilva)와 같은 속이면서 공존하고 있는 종가시나무(Quercus glauca)의 건조 내성에 대한 반응을 알아보고자 실내에서 생리 반응을 연구하였다. 온도(22±2.94℃)와 토양 양분(10%)은 자생지의 값을 기준으로 처리하였으며 수분 처리는 토양을 채운 화분에 물이 화분 밑으로 새어나가기 직전까지 포장용수량 700mL를 공급한 후 27일간 단수하였다. 단수기간에 수분함량의 변화는 토양수분함량측정기(Watch Dog)를 설치하여 데이터를 수집하였다. 항목은 토양수분함량에 따른 광합성률, 증산률, 수분이용효율, 기공전도도, Fv/Fm, Fo, Fm, 엽록소함량을 측정하였다. 토양수분함량은 25, 27일째를 제외한 기간에 개가시나무가 종가시나무보다 높았다. 광합성률은 27일째를 제외한 기간에 개가시나무가 종가시나무보다 높았다. 증산률은 4, 5, 11, 14, 25, 27일째에 개가시나무가 종가시나무보다 낮았다. 수분이용효율은 13일째를 제외한 기간에 개가시나무가 종가시나무보다 높았다. 기공전도도는 3, 9일째에 개가시나무가 종가시나무보다 높았다. Fv/Fm은 22, 27일째를 제외한 기간에 개가시나무가 종가시나무보다 높았다. Fo은 3, 14일째를 제외한 기간에 개가시나무가 종가시나무보다 높았다. Fm과 엽록소함량은 기간에 개가시나무가 종가시나무보다 높았다. 이와 같은 실험 결과로 보았을 때 개가시나무가 종가시나무보다 건조 내성에 강한 것으로 판단된다.

The purpose of this study is to develop cultural tourism products of Jeju Free International City, utilizing the images of its blessed natural environment listed on the UNESCO World (Natural) Heritage Site. To do this, the concept of cultural tourism products is defined, and the current situation and features of Jeju cultural tourism products are closely researched and examined, and then through survey study, responded by Jeju residents and tourists, purchasing behaviors, consumer preferences of Jeju tourists, and improvement plans for tourism products are examined in detail. According to the survey, the important elements for cultural tourism products of Jeju are extracted and employed in the development of tourism T-shirts, and the developing process of souvenir shirt designs using the unique images of Jeju are presented. Five textile pattern designs, based on the nature images of Jeju 'gotjawal' forests, are created and employed in 5 souvenir shirt designs, and this led to the development of 10 styles of tourism souvenir shirts. With their trendy design embodying unique images of Jeju, practicality, and functionality, these shirts are not just for tourists visiting Jeju but also for everybody, any age, and anywhere. The suitability and validity of the designs as the cultural tourism products representing Jeju are evaluated by consumer preference survey. Through this study, the infinite possibility of developing cultural tourism products utilizing unique natural environments of Jeju are confirmed. Development of tourism souvenir shirts reflecting the current fashion trends and tourists' tastes can be led to the construction of positive images of Jeju, the success in attracting tourists, and, eventually, market extension for cultural tourism products.

This study aimed to classify spring types based on the hydrogeological characteristics of springs in Yongsu-ri~Hamo-ri coastal area in western part of Jeju Island. The springs in study area can be broadly categorized into three groups: perched groundwatrer springs (soil type), perched groundwater springs (sediment type), and basal groundwater springs. The perched groundwater springs of soil type correspond to springs where groundwater seeps out from the perched aquifer formed in the soil layer due to the development of clayey Kosan Formation beneath the surface. Because of the low hydraulic conductivity of soil layer, the average of spring discharge is less than 1 m³/day. The quality of spring water is significantly influenced by agricultural activities, resulting in high nitrate nitrogen concentrations and electrical conductivity. While the perched groundwater springs (sediment type) of the Suwolbong Tuff, which are located in the upper part of Kosan Formation, exhibited relatively higher discharge rates, their water quality was similar to soil-type springs. Basal groundwater springs are located in the zone of basal groundwater, mostly near the coastline. This type of spring appears to discharge of up to 3,707 m³, and the salinity content varies with the tidal fluctuations, especially increasing significantly during dry seasons.

This study applied the theory of Landscape Ecology to representative resources of Jeju Olle-gil, which is a representative subject of walking tourism, to identify ecological characteristics and to establish a technique for landscape ecological analysis of Olle-gil resources. Jeju Olle Trail type based on the biotope type, major land use, vegetation status around Olle Trail and roads were divided into 12 types. Based on the type of ecological tourism resource classification, the Jeju Olle-gil walking tourism resource classification was divided into seven types of natural resources and seven types of humanities resources, and each resource was characterized by Geotope, Biotope, and Anthropopope, just like the landscape ecology system. Geotope resources are strong in landscape characteristics such as coast and beach, rocks, bedrocks, waterfalls, geology and Jusangjeolli Cliff, Oreum and craters, water resources, and landscape viewpoints. The Biotope resources showed strong ecological characteristics due to large tree and protected tree, Gotjawal, forest road and vegetation communities, biological habitat, vegetation landscape view point. Antropotope include Culture of Jeju Haenyeo and traditional culture, potting and lighthouses, experience facilities, temples and churches, military and beacon facilities, other historical and cultural facilities, and cultural landscape views. Jeju Olle Trail The representative resources for each type of Jeju Olle Trail are coastal, Oreum, Gotjawal, field and Stonewall Fencing farming land, Jeju Village and Stone wall of Jeju. In order to learn about the components and various functions of the resources representing the Olle Trail's ecological culture, the landscape ecological technique was interpreted. Looking at the ecological and cultural characteristics of coastal, the coast includes black basalt rocks, coastal vegetation, coastal grasslands, coastal rock vegetation, winter migratory birds and Jeju haenyeo. Oreum is a unique volcanic topography, which includes circular and oval mountain bodies, oreum vegetation, crater wetlands, the origin and legend of the name of Oreum, the legend of the name of Oreum, the culture of grazing horses, the use of military purposes, the object of folk belief, and the view from the summit. Gotjawal features rocky bumps, unique microclimate formation, Gotjawal vegetation, geographical names, the culture of charcoal being baked in the past, and bizarre shapes of trees and vines. Field walls include the structure and shape of field walls, field cultivation crops, field wall habitats, Jeju agricultural culture, and field walls. The village includes a stone wall and roof structure built from basalt, a pavilion at the entrance of the village, a yard and garden inside the house, a view of the lives of local people, and an alleyway view. These resources have slowly changed with the long lives of humans, and are now unique to Jeju Island. By providing contents specialized for each type of Olle Trail, tourists who walk on Olle will be able to experience the Olle Trail in depth as they learn the story of the resources, and will be able to increase the sustainable use and satisfaction of Jeju Olle Trail users.

Sampling of the ground beetles in four 'gotjawal' terrains of Jeju island was conducted from April to October, 2007, using pit-fall trap. Totally 2,887 individuals of 23 species belonged to 4 families were collected. The species diversity index was the highest at Aeweol gotjawal (AW), while it was the lowest in Hangyeong-Andeog gotjawal (HA). Clustering analysis revealed that the insect communities of four gotzawals were grouped in only one cluster. Jocheon-Hamdeog gotjawal (JH) formed a cluster with Gujwa-Sungsan gotjawal (GS) at the lowest chord distance (0.24). At the higher chord distance of 0.50, AW fused the cluster of JH and GS. HA fused with the rest three terrains, forming a single cluster at the highest chord distance of 0.98.

In order to characterize the habitat trait and vegetation structure of M. chejuense(Ophioglssaceae), endangered plant in Korea, we set 12 permanent quadrats in Jocheon-Sunhyul Gotzawal Wetland Region of Jeju Island, and surveyed the temporal pools, vegetation structure and counted the population size of the endemic rare plant. M. chejuense distributed in the vernal pools with a variety of shape, area of 150-$400m^2$, depth of 0.4-2.0m and slope of 3-$10^{\circ}$, at altitude of 88-165m in lowland area in Gotjawal Wetland Region, Jeju Island. The soil has a thin layer and high water content all the seasons. The population appeared with a density range of 1-423/pool in the boundary area of the wetlands under higher tree coverages(80-100%) in the deciduous forest communities. Vegetation wsa classified into five plant communities such as Ulmus parvifolia community, Cudrania tricuspidata community, Rosa multiflora community, Ardisia japonica community, Ophiopogon japonicus community. These results means that M. chejuense potentially has a shortage to evergreen plant succession, litter accumulation and water drainage, thus it is need to sustainable wetland environmental condition in the deciduous forest community for its sounded conservation.

Eleutherococcus gracilistylus is a designated rare plant by the Korea Forest Service, a deciduous broad leaf shrub native to the Gotjawal region, Jejudo. This study aimed to analyze the growth responses of E. gracilistylus to three environment factors such as light, moisture, and organic matter, and measure its ecological niche breadth. Based on these results, an attempt was made to identify suitable environmental conditions. E. gracilistylus exhibited increased above-ground length, leaf area, and plant leaf weight under intermediate conditions of light availability(L3, 50% of natural light), rather than very high or very low light conditions. Moisture availability and organic matter availability showed variations in growth responses in terms of leaf count and plant leaf weight. Under moisture availability, growth was favorable under or below intermediate conditions (M3, 240ml), while under organic matter availability, growth response was better above intermediate conditions (N3, 12%). Ecological niche breadth showed in the light factor(0.951), the moisture factor(0.977), and the organic matter content one(0.964). These results indicate that the preferred habitat of E. gracilistylus is somewhat shady, slightly dry, and has a lot of nutrients, and that the environmental factor that has the greatest impact on growth is the amount of light, which is considered to be a priority consideration for habitat management in its native area.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of the subjects after visiting the Gyorae forest on the activity of the autonomic nervous system. Methods: Before and after the forest bath, it was measured using a ubiquitous machine. Results: After the bath there was no significant difference in the sympathetic nerve activity (LF) of the control group, but the difference was significant in the experimental group by increasing (p<.038), and in the variance analysis, there was a significant difference between the groups (p<.014), between pre-and post-bath (p<.026), and also between the groups and pre-and post-bath (p<.018). The changes in parasympathetic activity (HF) were not significant in both the control and experimental. In the LF/HF ratio, the experimental group was significantly increased, and in the analysis of variance, there was also significant difference between group and before and after bath (p<.04). Mean pulse rate in the experimental group was a significant increase after bath (p<.026). In the change of pulse standard deviation, the value of the control and the experimental groups by variance analysis was a significant difference between the groups (p<.014). There was no difference between the mean values of the control and the experimental groups in the change of mean heart rate deviation. Conclusions: The autonomic nervous systems were activated after Gyorae forest bathing, where may be useful place for healing.
