The purpose of this paper was to identify the effects of elimination of entrance fee (EEF) affecting visitor's satisfaction (VS) and management sectors such as natural resources (NRs), park facilities, transportation, visitor service, visitor atmosphere (VA) in national parks (NPs). This research had obtained data through a questionnaire, which surveyed 336 visitors at Gayasan NP in 2006. The data were analyzed the data using descriptive statistical methods, Pearson's correlation analysis, and multiple linear regression method. It was found that 1) About EEF, 72.6% of respondents agreed. 2) As entrance fee was abolished, respondents predicted that degree of VA such as crowding, waste throwing, disorder etc. grew worse most. On the other hands, respondents predicted number and quality of commercial lodging facilities, festival, and local products would improved. 3) Respondents predicted that degree of VS would worse. 4) in multiple regression analysis, the relative contribution of the VA on VS have been determined to have respectively 1.84 times more important than that of the change degree of NRs. The results suggested that the management of VA in NP was the most important factor to prevent decline of VS. This paper would be helpful to establish national park management policy after EEF.

This research was conducted to develop the demand function and to estimate an increase of national parks visitors considering abolition of entrance fee, using dichotomous choice contingent valuation. Also, this study estimated the additional management cost with an increase of visitors. As a result, an average increase rate was estimated about 5.8% considering abolition of entrance fee. Each increase rate of national park is analyzed Bukhansan 9.0%, Gyeryongsan 8.5%, Deogyusan 8.2%, respectively. Seoraksan is the lowest rate of increase, 3.0%. Total additional management cost of 18 national parks was estimated about 5.6 billion won, Bukhansan 1.4 billion won, Jirisan 0.7 billion won, Dadohaehaesang 0.5 billion won, respectively.

금년부터 국립공원 입장료가 폐지되며, 환경영향평가의 객관성과 공정성을 제고할 수 있도록 환경영향평가제도가 개선된다. 또한 자동차배출가스 배출허용기준이 선진국 수준으로 단계적 강화되며, 수도권 대기환경 개선을 위해 사업장 대기오염물질 총량관리제가 시행된다. 수돗물 수질검사 지점이 확대되며 수질 환경기준이 생태적 건강성 평가를 반영하는 수질 및 수생태계 환경기준으로 바뀌게 된다. 2007년부터 환경분야에서 달라지거나 새롭게 시행되는 제도를 분야별로 정리를 하였습니다.

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.

Hallasan National Park is facing dramatic increase of visitors since no entrance fee charge effected in January of 2007 and it has created a concern about appropriate use levels. The overall objective of this study is development of the carrying capacity indicators management program using indicator and standard based on visitor experience and resource protection (VERP) model. The result of delphi survey identified eight potential indicators of resource and experiential conditions, including quality of valley water, visitor counts, trail impacts, crowding etc. Also, Data were also gathered to help provide an empirical foundation for setting standards for these indicator variables. The carrying capacity indicators management program based on VERP model estimates sustainability of national park and analyze scientifically change about resources and visitor's behavior. Also, it systematically manage and use united data, it supports operation accomplishment respected rational decision.
