The purpose of this study is to estimate the benefits associated with the opportunities of multiple destination trips using a mixed logit model. The opportunities that affect the destination choice can be one of the external environments of recreational sites. The data for this study were taken from a survey conducted to the multiple destination trip participants at Seorak National Park in Korea. The results of the research show the specific values of complementary opportunities in the study area.

This study was designed to comprehensively understand and separate the characteristics of recreation forests of Korea through the multi-variate analysis for the provision of fundamental materials for recreation forests development policies and planning, and attempted to evaluate on the validity of classification of recreation forests, which has never been performed before. According to analysis results, recreation forests could be divided into 4 types; type I(recreation forests whose ecological nature status is not good, but the risk of calamity is low and accessibility is good), type II(recreation forests whose the risk of calamity is low, but ecological nature status is not good, slope is steep, and accessibility is poor), type III(recreation forests that have charming vegetation and landscape, various rest opportunity, and a gentle slope, but poor accessibility), and type IV(recreation forests that ecological nature status is good, but have poor landscape, less rest opportunity, and a steep slope). Also, each type was adjusted as follows; type I($25{\rightarrow}24$ reviews), type II($25{\rightarrow}26$ reviews), type III($17{\rightarrow}16$ reviews), and type IV($25{\rightarrow}25$ reviews). This study can be said to show the usability of validation of classified types, which was not done before. It is clear that the classification of recreation forests increases the efficiency in policy making and performance. Furthermore, by validating the separated types, we could expect high efficiency in policy making and performance on planned recreation forests in the future.

This study conducts a choice experiment to estimate the recreational values of major dam reservoirs in Korea. A discrete-choice econometric model is estimated with the data of experimented choices. Not only the recreation value of each dam lake but also the values of the characteristics of the lakes are estimated. It is shown that the value function of the amount of reserved water is not monotonically increasing. Water quality is the most important characteristic that affects the recreation value. Various other characteristics of the dams such as the availability of education facility, restaurants, hotels and parking lots also generate substantial amounts of recreational benefits.

This study examined the effects of wildlife or wildlife species on national park visitors' perception of place attributes and recreational experiences. Data were collected from 502 users of Seongsamjae Rest area and Nogodan Shelter area in Jirisan National Park and 173 college students during May-June 2014 using survey questionnaire. Some simulated photographs of water deer and Asiatic black bears were used for the college student survey. Overall, awareness about wildlife inhabiting in Jirisan National Park (AW) was not related with one's perception of place attributes (PPA) (i.e., crowdedness, naturalness, safety) and types of visitors' recreational experiences. Respondents with higher awareness about the presence of Asiatic black bear (AABB), however, tended to perceive Jirisan National Park as a place that provides 'wild' or 'natural' recreational opportunities compared to those with lower AABB. Differences in PPA (i.e., crowdedness, naturalness, safety) and types of recreational experiences were also found to be influenced by wildlife species. Respondents exposed to bear or water deer tended to perceive their recreational experiences as more 'wild'. Existence of wildlife in Jirisan National Park had a positive effect on the quality of visitors' recreational experiences. Different wildlife species showed different levels of effectiveness to quality enhancement of recreational experience. Some practical implications of the study were discussed from a managerial point of view.

In Korea, 80,616 ha in 139 places have been designated as recreation forests by the end of 1994. Among these places, 64,547 ha in 76 places were designated in the national forest, 9,937 ha in 25 places were designated in the public forest, and 6,132 ha in 38 places were designated in private forest. Designs of 10 places and plans of 6 places in 14 places of recreation forest in Chonbuk province were compared and analyzed. The results are as follows: 1. Sixty four types of convenient facilities, 15 types of athletic facilities, 13 types of sanitation facilities, 22 types of education facilities were designed in 10 places of the recreation forest. 2. The material cost was the highest in construction costs in Waryong recreation forest. However, the labor cost was the highest one in construction costs in 5 places of recreation forest ; Dokyu-san, Hoimoon-san, Saesim, Seongsu, and Sokgeum-san And the total construction cost was much higher in private recreation forest than in both of national and public recreation forest. 3. Hoimoon-san was the only recreation forest which makes profit among 14 recreation forests in Chonbuk province. The uses of this recreation forest are increasing, and seasonal uses significantly fluctuate. 4. There are several problems for the public in enjoying these recreation forest places. The access to these places by public transportations is inconvenient. The time required for construction of many places are too long after they are designated as recreation forest, and the management of the established recreation forest is poor. 5. To improve the method of facility design in recreation forest, easy access to nature should be promoted such as recreation forest places and understanding of public concerning nature are needed. Recreation forest places themselves need to offer good facilities, and convenient access. And to make frequent use of recreation forest places, a system of information and excellent service to the public are strongly recommended.

이 연구는 필자가 2007년 하반기부터 1년간 필리핀에 머물면서, 여성들의 국제결혼에 관해 실시한 연구결과의 일부이다. 이미 한국에서 결혼생활을 하고 있는 외국인여성을 대상으로 한 국내연구와는 달리, 이 연구는 출국준비 중인 필리핀신부들을 대상으로 심층면접을 실시하고 있다. 특히 면접대상자가 일상적으로 사용하는 언어를 이용하고, 시집식구들을 의식할 필요 없는 자유로운 분위기에서 면접이 이루어졌다는 점, 그리고 출국이전의 상황과 심경을 알아보았다는 점 등은 이 연구가 가진 장점이다. 또한 한국으로 들어오게 된 과정을 역추적 하는 방식이 아니라, 결혼, 국내외배우자선택, 특정국적의 배우자선택 과정을 여성 개인의 시각에서 서술토록 한 것도 기존의 연구와 다른 점이다. 연구결과, 필리핀여성의 국제결혼은 미국, 캐나다, 일본 등을비롯해 다양한 국적의 배우자와 이루어지고 있으며, 한국은 그 중의 하나에 지나지 않음을 알 수 있다. 한편, 한국인 남편은 국제결혼알선업체를 통해 만나는 사례가 다수이지만, 한국에 취업이나 시집을 간 친지를 통해 만나는 경우, 취업이나 휴양을 위해 필리핀에 남편이 방문한 동안 만나는 경우, 온라인 교제싸이트를 통해 만나는 경우 등 만남의 경로가 다양함을 알 수 있다. 또한 만남의 경로에 따라 서로 다른 결혼관과 가족관이 발견된다. 이 연구의 결과들에 비추어, 국제이주노동에서 논의되는 이론들의 일부 요소들이 국제결혼현상에서도 어느 정도 설명력을 가진다고 판단된다. 이와 동시에 국가간 방문기회와 인터넷교제기회의 증가라는 전지구화 현상 또한 국제결혼의 또 다른 일면을 파악하는데 주요한 요소가 될 것으로 보인다.

Ecotourism has surged from conflicts between negative impacts of mass tourism and environmental issues. As an alternative tourism, ecotourism compromises extensively environmental, economic, educational, and cultural concerns. Ecotourism can be defined as environment-based tourism that ensures sustainable growth and development through conservation of natural and human environment, promotion of regional economy, and provision of tourism service in natural environment areas. Ecotourism should consider two key challenges; an effective means that may protect local economy through tourist-based income and improvement of residential circumstances, and role as leisure space that can improve tourist's experiences. The purpose of this study was to summarize ecotourism concepts through literature search and develop an ecotourism planning framework for Korean rural communities. In addition, developed planning framework in this study was applied to Jeongdori area, Wandogun, Korea as a case study in order to analyze its feasibility. A trial application in Jeongdori area demonstrated a possibility that ecotourism planning framework can be successfully adopted to a wide range of Korean rural communities. To ensure objectivity of framework, systematic case studies must be done in the future.
