본 연구는 도시숲을 활용한 주말 회기형 산림치유 프로그램이 가족 응집력과 가족관계 향상에 미치는 효과와 프로그램에 대한 부모의 만족도를 알아보기 위해 수행되었다. 2018년 4월부터 8월까지 인천대공원에서 진행되는 주말 산림치유 프로그램에 참가한 가족 21팀(65명)을 대상으로 하였고, 주1회 2시간씩 총 4회 8시간으로 가족 숲체험 활동과 산림치유요법을 활용한 프로그램을 새롭게 구성하여 실행하였다. 연구결과 주말 가족대상 산림치유 프로그램은 가족응집력 및 가족관계 향상에 긍정적인 영향을 주었으며, 부모의 만족도 분석 결과 대부분의 항목에서 높은 만족도를 보였다. 따라서 산림치유활동은 가족의 응집력 및 가족관계를 개선함으로써 가족의 결속이나 정서적 유대와 같은 기능이 중요하게 인식되는 현대사회에 효과적인 치유활동으로 적합하다는 결론을 도출하였다. 추후 연구에서는 다양한 형태의 가족을 대상으로 확대 시행하며, 가족의 요구를 반영한 다양하고 흥미로운 가족체험 산림치유 프로그램 개발이 지속적으로 이루어져야 할 것이다.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of family resources on social exclusion and the resilience of low-income families. To be more specific, this study categorized the level of social exclusion into five dimensions: work, housing, health, education, and social participation. Further, family resources were categorized into the two dimensions of "internal resources of the family" and "external resources of the family" in order to evaluate the effects of the two differentiated dimensions on social exclusion and the resilience of low-income families. The data of low-income families for the period of August 23 to September 28, 2012, were collected from community welfare centers that manage individual development accounts and local self-sufficiency centers; 302 cases were considered. The main results of this study were as follows: firstly, the model analysis proved that family resources as a parameter was significant, not only statistically but also theoretically and practically. Secondly, while a negative relationship was found between social exclusion and family resources, a positive relationship was found between family resources and resilience. This implied that the alleviation of a low-income family's social exclusion level could become an important intervention for the improvement of the family's functioning and strengths. Further, it implied that the qualitative improvement of the family's resources that affected the promotion of the resilience could be a basis for another practical intervention. These results suggested crucial implications for the development of comprehensive policies for addressing poverty issues.
