우리나라 국립공원은 좁은 공원면적에 비해 높은 이용도와 인력 및 재원의 부족, 공원별로 특화된 계획 부재로 인해 관리에 어려움을 겪고 있다. 여기에 주5일 근무제 가 확대시행 된다면 국립공원 방문수요가 증가할 것으로 예상되고 있어, 이에 대비한 관리전략의 수립이 절실하다. 본 연구는 주5일 근무제 정착에 대비해, 국립공원 이용자들의 선택행동에 영향을 주는 속성별 수준의 종류와 영향력 정도를 파악하고 관리의 우선순위를 결정해, 자인자원의 보전과 이용자 만족이라는 목적을 달성할 수 있는 방안을 제시하고자 수행하였다. 5대 대도시에 거주하는 1,000명을 대상으로 자료를 수집하여 conjoint choice model로 분석한 결과, "휴무일수의 증가"는 국립공원 방문의도와 정(+)의 방향을 보이 는 것으로 나타났다. 속성별로는 "환경교육" 과 "연계 관광"은 모든 수준에서, "공원 내 숙박시설”과 "관광여건", "비용"의 일부 수준에서 '현재상태' 보다 선호가 증가했지만 "자연보호"는 선호 증가가 없었다.

This study examines the structural relationships between service quality, satisfaction, and behavioral intentions in responsible tourism. In particular, the study focuses on moderating effects of age. Data were collected from 471 tourists from seven responsible tourism agencies. SPSS 20.0 and AMOS 18.0 were used for frequency, reliability, exploratory factor, confirmatory factor, and path analyses. The results of a exploratory factor analysis yield two dimensions of service quality (functional quality and technical quality). The results of structural equation modeling indicate that functional quality and technical quality had positive effects on satisfaction, which in turn had a positive effect on behavioral intentions. In addition, age moderated the relationships between service quality, satisfaction, and behavioral intentions such that functional quality had a positive effect on satisfaction in the group of tourists in their twenties and thirties and that functional quality and technical quality were important factors for tourists in their forties. The results are expected to help responsible tourism communities better manage service quality to increase tourist satisfaction.
