Now, a management plan is being prepared to conserve the landscape and eco-system of Hallasan National Park. A major concern of park managers and residents is the visual impact that activities have of the Mt. Hala landscape. One of the most important aspects of making management decisions is assessing the visual impact of proposed actions accurately enough to judge whether or not those actions are acceptable. Park managers and residents need methods they can use to assess the visual impact of various management actions. The impact of proposed management activities was portrayed by CCG Photomontage techniques and viewers rated sets of color photomontages on a 7 point SD scale. The findings were as follows : the CCG Photomontage is quite practical, vegetation restoration is necessary, and the proposed management actions are feasible. The visual simulation technique and assessment method in this research helps residents visualize and respond to management activities, making residents' participation in the planning process more effective.

The study, executed with Hallasan National Park, which deserves to be a typical ecotourism destination, aims to provide basic information on park management for early establishment of ecotourism in a national park by assessing its visitors' behavior and satisfaction with a nature trail established as a series of an environmental interpretation program. The questionnaire survey was conducted at Eorimok Square in the weekday and on the weekend for two months of August and September in 2006, and finally 144 valid samples were used for the analysis. As a result of the research, it revealed that the demographic characteristics of the visitors to Hallasan National Park tended to coincide with those of the visitors to other national parks In Korea. On the whole, it showed their low recognition level of nature trails built up in national parks and less experience in using them. However, the visitors' satisfaction level and intention of re-visit, and recommendation to others were comparatively higher after actually using the nature trail at the site of Hallasan National Park, which hints at the possibility of national parks' much weightier role as the ground for ecology education and the functional expansion of the environmental interpretation-related facilities and programs. As for the attributes having effects on users' satisfaction with a nature trail, substantial aspects such as accessibility, safety, uniqueness and interest in environmental interpretation, and educational quality as well as physical facility management were revealed to have equal effects on users' satisfaction level, so there still remain a lot of pending issues over the reality of national parks in the initial stage of ecotourism staying at the level of the introduction and establishment of the facilities for environmental interpretation. This research had surveyed visitors to Hallasan National Park and limited to the nature trail only. For more systematic and practical ecological management of a national park, the in-depth understanding of the attributes affecting satisfaction of ecotourists, including nature trails and other environmental interpretation programs, and more sophisticated measuring tools are needed.

국내법의 국립공원계획 관련 내용들을 국제기준과 비교 분석해 본 결과 자연공원법에서 국립공원의 정의, 계획, 관리 및 이용에 관한 일부 내용들이 국제기준에 부합되지 않는 것으로 재확인되었고, 공원관리와 이용의 토대를 제공하는 각 공원계획들을 국제기준을 척도로 분석해 본 결과 현재 국제기준을 충족시키는 공원계획은 없었으며, 개선해야 할 문제점들이 확인되었다. 이러한 문제점들을 극복하고 한국의 국립공원을 국제기준에 부합되는 국립공원으로 계획하고 관리하여 국제적으로 인정받는데 기여하기 위해서는 국제기준에 준하여 자연공원법이 개정되고 국립공원계획이 변경되는 것이 바람직하다. 이를 위하여 본고에서는 국립공원계획의 근간이 되는 용도지구계획의 단계별 변경모델안을 표 6과 같이 새로 제안하였고, 제안한 모델을 한라산 국립공원에 사례 적용하여 그 실현 가능성을 확인하였다. 한국의 국립공원들도 국제기준으로 평가.분류하여 그 문제점들을 분석하고, 본고에서 제안한 모델안을 공원별 특성과 현황에 맞게 단계별로 적용하여 공원계획을 변경하며, 장기실행계획 및 관리안을 수립하여 실천한다면 한국에서도 국제적으로 인정받는 국립공원이 탄생하는데 기여할 수 있을 것이다.

This study set put to measure the environmental radiation for mountainous regions of National Parks where Integrated Environmental Radiation Monitoring Network is not installed. For the measurement method, the space dose was classified at 1 meter high from the surface and the index dose at the surface. The measured radiation energy measured gamma, alpha and beta rays. For selection of national parks, we selected 10 national parks which are within the same distribution in the southern part and central part of the nation. For measurement equipment, INTERCEPTOR$^{TM}$(Thermo, USA, 2006) was used for gamma rays. As for the results of the measurements, for the space gamma dose, a high level was measured at a sea level of 500 meter in national parks with an altitude of less than 1,000 meter. It was found that the value was more than $0.23{\mu}Svh^{-1}$ especially in Bukhan Mountain, Gyeryong Mountain and Wolchul Mountain. In national parks with an altitude of more than 1,000 meter, $1.77{\mu}Svh^{-1}$ was measured at 1,500 meter at Seorak Mountain. Therefore, this is 10 times greater than the background standard dose. The national parks were there were no significant changes in dose were Naejang Mountain, Sobaek and Jiri Mountains. For the measurement of the index dose, a high dose level was measured at middle altitudes of 500 meter and 1,000 meter. For measurement according to the composition types of crust, high doses were recorded at national parks composed of rocks and a lower environmental radiation level was measured at Hanra Mountain where volcanic activities have occurred.

The purpose of this study was to provide basic data for developing the practical park management. For this, satisfaction degree, satisfaction factors and estimated model by satisfaction variables of visitors were analyzed through a questionnaire survey in Hallasan National Park, Korea. In the evaluation process of the satisfaction, it was found out variables of 'uncleanness of sanitation facility', 'lack of convenience and information facility' was more unsatisfactory than any other variable. The biggest satisfaction factor through factor analysis was 'usual user management factor' accounting for 45.8% of all. Estimated models of satisfaction by multiple regression analysis are showed in the order of 'lack of sanitation', 'littering problem', and 'traffic safety'.
