본 연구는 사회적 관광과 복지관광에 대한 선행연구 검토를 통해 해양휴양복지에 대한 개념을 정립하는 한편 국외 해양휴양복지사례 및 국내 문화 관광복지 정책 및 산림휴양복지 정책, 국내 해양휴양관광 실태 분석을 통해 국내 해양휴양복지 발전 여건을 파악했다. 우리나라 국민들은 해양을 통한 휴식 및 휴양에 대한 수요가 높으며 만족도 또한 높아 향후 해양휴양복지 서비스에 대한 수요 또한 높을 것으로 전망된다. 다만 해양관광 관련 정책 중 복지와 관련된 사항은 어업인, 연안 어촌에 집중해 추진되어 왔으며, 전 국민이 해양을 통해 보편적으로 누릴 수 있는 복지 서비스 측면에서는 다루어지지 않았다. 향후 우리나라 해양휴양복지 정책은 해양치유 및 해양휴양 자원을 발굴하고 관련 프로그램을 개발하는 한편, 해양치유를 통한 해양휴양복지 서비스를 누릴 수 있는 공간을 조성하고, 전국민이 해양휴양복지 혜택을 받을 수 있는 법제도적인 기반을 마련해야 한다.

The purpose of the present research is to study the recreational use of German Nature Parks with comparing the Korean Recreational Forests. They were studied because both were not only founded for nature protection, but also for recreational use. The recreational offerings of German Nature Parks and Korean Recreational Forests found to reflect the expectations of their recreation users. Therefore the recreational uses of both countries will be recognized throughout this study. To review recreational offerings, services and infrastructure, a complete search of all German Nature Parks and Korean Recreational Forests was conducted. In summary, there were very good and varied activities that posed few demands on German Nature Parks. Some broad and very good offerings could be identified in the form of environmental education programs as well as many different kinds of services and infrastructure. Korean Recreational Forests were characterized by passive activities having few environmental education programs with only simple tour themes. The reason for this condition was that there were fewer holiday periods in Korea than in Germany and the conurbation life style in Korea, due to geological conditions, has led to less experience with nature.

Forest recreation is done outdoor, so weather has impact on forest recreation. Impact of temperature on forest recreation has been studied. However, impact of precipitation on forest recreation has not been studied yet. This article paid attention to rainfall and rainy day among the variables explaining the visitor number of national park. We analyzed whether rainfall and rainy day have impact on visitor number. As the result of analysis, rainy day had impact on the visitor number of national park in Korea, and the degree of the impact was inelastic. However, rainfall could not explain the visitor number of national park. It is needed to monitor the impact of precipitation on forest recreation demand.

This study suggests a macroscopic method of evaluating forest recreation function based on physical characteristics of forests. The method was verified by a correlation between forest recreation function in popular top 45 mountains and popularity among them, with using data-mountain area, height, distance between mountain and cities, population around mountain, and size of public service. According to analysis of the forest recreation function, it is shown that top 8 mountains, including Jirisan and Seoraksan, provide over 64% of total recreation function, while they serve the function relatively lower than mountains near mega cities-Bukhansan in Seoul-do, in terms of the function per unit area ($km^2$). It is because, in a case of national and provincial mountains, the size of mountain is likely a critical factor for determining recreation function and the distance influences on it relatively lower. These findings implicate that a large size of forests bring the recreation function to visitors on nationwide level, whileas forests in suburban provide intensively it to near population to near population.

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 paper examined the effects of users' expectations, norms and recreation motives on perceived conflict in a recreation setting. The study used data collected at Second Campground in Chirisan National Park, Korea, during the summer of 1994. Of the total 280 questionnaires distributed, 253 questionnaires(90.4%) were usable. About 82% of the respondents perceived conflict by others' late-night-singing. This study supported the notion that perceived conflict occurs when norms, expectations, and recreation motives are interfered with by others' incompatible behaviors. Solitude/nature motive factor was a better predictor of perceived conflict than norm-interference or expectation-interference. However, the relative predictability of each variable on perceived conflict could be various depending on different kinds of recreation motives, specific ways of measuring norms, expectations and conflict. Management implications were discussed.

This study tried to develop a model which can predict a long-term of forest recreation quantity corresponded with econometrics. Simultaneously this study was conducted with the aim of development of practical matrix which is able to apply forest recreation management with policy-control variables about forest supplement with some problem of former study using only a cross-section analysis. As the results of analyses, forest recreation quantity is affected (-) relation by distance, (+) relation by population of the origin area, the size of forest, and a destination's annual social expenditure. In addition, the distance variable is elastic, however, the other variables are inelastic. This results might correspond to a general gravity model theory about forest recreation quantity.

The purposes of this study were to investigate the influence of local residents' nature environment attitudes to recreation forest development impact perceptions and to examine application possibility of nature environment attitude to resolution information of recreation forest management conflicts. 30 items of residents' perceptions and opinions were designed from previous tourism impact studies. The new environmental paradigm(NEP) was used to measure local residents' nature environment attitudes. In October 1995, 204 questionnaires were obtained from interview survey in local residents' villages near two recreation forests. Generally most local residents perceived low economic effects and negative environment impacts for recreation forest development. Nature environment attitude levels were significant differences due to socioeconomic variables of local residents, specially high in age, education level and influenced their perceptions toward recreation forest development impacts. The results suggested that the nature environment attitudes could be provided a useful referential framework in resolution of recreation forest management conflicts.

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 identified the types and features of forest leisure activities based on data from the Nationwide Survey on Forest Leisure Activities (N= 6,191). Further, the study analyzed the demographic impact factors of the categorized forest leisure activities according to four types of objectives reported by visitors: health promotion, education, relaxation, and leisure sports. The investigation revealed that people visit forests for relaxation regardless of the season; however, leisure-sports visitors engage in activities that occur in summer, are most expensive, and involve the shortest trip time. The study also found that age, gender, household incomes, and the presence of children were the most important factors influencing the selection of activities. Age was found the predominant consideration: the older the age was, the more likely people were to prefer the relaxation and health promotion type. Men were more likely to choose health promotion activities over relaxation and tended to prefer educational trips over relaxation when accompanied by children. Higher household incomes corresponded to an increased likelihood of visitor preferences for relaxation over education and for health promotion over relaxation. This study contributes to the extant literature by statistically determining the nationwide predominance of age as the principal factor driving visitor preferences for forest leisure activities. Future studies should establish policy directions for forest welfare from the perspective of users grouped into day visitors and overnight guests.
