일본과 한국은 산림의 건강증진 효과에 주목하고 산림치유사업을 전개하고 있으나 제도와 정책은 차이가 많다. 일본은 산림치유사업을 지자체와 주민이 운영하는 반면 한국은 산림청이 운영한다. 일본은 삼림세라피 기지 인증제를 이용해 삼림의과학적 증거에 바탕을 두고 산림치유의 질을 유지하면서 지자체와 주민의 경쟁적 참여를 유도하며, 산림치유사업자협회를 통해 인력을 양성하고 연구회가 운영방식을 개선한다. 반면 한국은 허가제에 기초해 법제 정비를 실시하였으나, 아직 치유의 숲 조성과 인력 양성이 초기단계에 있으며 운영방식도 체계화되어 있지 않다. 산림치유 육성정책은 일본의 경우 지역진흥 및 산촌활성화 정책과 중첩되어 자체 추진력이 약하지만, 한국의 경우는 산림서비스 확대라는 정책목표 아래 고유의 정책체계를 가짐으로써 강력히 추진되고 있다.

This study aims to examine a significant difference in performance of, and attitudes towards, environmental tourism among domestic tourism companies by their types and scale, and to propose a policy direction for a new certification program on environmental tourism. This study conducted a survey with 152 tourism accommodations and 150 travel agencies. As a result, this study found that tourism accommodations and a large scale of companies had participated in environmental management practices more often than travel agencies and a small scale of companies. Also, tourism accommodations were more likely to recognize well a relation between their business and environmental tourism, and were more likely to participate in a new certification program than travel agencies. A large scale of tourism accommodations showed more positive attitudes towards environmental tourism than a small scale of tourism accommodations. On the other hand, all of the travel agencies showed less positive attitudes towards environmental tourism regardless of their size. In conclusion, this study proposed that the government should adopt a different approach to a new certification program according to tourism companies' types and scale, also it should provide a variety of incentives and supports for tourism companies.

This study investigated the reference case in the UK where legality and sustainability were systematically established for forest biomass represented by wood pellets. The UK is the country that best utilizes the trade value of wood pellets based on sustainability, with bioenergy accounting for 31% of total renewable energy production. The UK imported wood pellet, estimated 8,697 thousand tons in 2019. The UK government has continuously improved the renewable generation policy system to ensure the sustainability of wood pellets. The weighted average greenhouse gas emissions of a UK biomass power plant that received a Renewable Obligation Certificate (ROC) in 2018-19 was 26.71 gCO2e/MJ. These power plants are expected to meet the upper limit of 72.2 gCO2e/MJ by 2025. To issue an ROC, the biomass power plant must demonstrate that 70% of its total biofuel usage is sustainable. The UK uses the Sustainable Biomass Program (SBP) certification system, which is gradually expanding to other European countries, to prove the sustainability of biomass energy fuels. Global wood pellet production with SBP certification in 2019 was 10.5 Mt. This trend has significant implications for introducing additional sustainability into the wood pellet policy of South Korea.

Addressing climate change necessitates evidence-based policies grounded in science. The use of forest biomass for energy production is based on a broad scientific consensus at the international level. However, some environmental groups in South Korea are opposing this system of energy production. Through this study, the authors aim to reduce unnecessary confusion and foster an atmosphere conducive to meaningful evidence-based policies. We have classified the issue into eight categories: biological carbon cycle, carbon debt, nature-based solutions, air emissions, cascading principles and sustainability certification, forest environmental impacts, climate change litigation, and the behavior of environmental groups and public perception. Consequently, the following key points were derived: (1) the actions of some environmental groups seem to follow a similar pattern to denialist behavior that denies climate change and climate science; (2) the quality of evidence for campaigns that oppose the use of forest biomass for energy production is low, with a tendency to overgeneralize information, high uncertainty, and difficulty in finding new claims.; (3) most of the public believes that forest biomass energy is necessary, and the governments of major countries are aware of its importance. Significantly, Forest biomass for energy is based on an overwhelming level of scientific consensus recognized internationally.

이 논문은 자연산 임산물에 대한 소비자 인식을 조사하여 수요측면에서 산림복합경영 활성화 방안을 제시하는 데 목적이 있다. 이를 위해 도시 가구 640명을 대상으로 인터넷 설문조사를 실시하였다. 소비자들이 산지재배 임산물을 구입하는 이유는 영양 효능과 안전성 때문이며, 같은 임산물이라도 밭 재배보다 품질이 우수하다고 응답하였다. 산지재배 임산물이 친환경 밭 재배 작물보다 선호되기는 하지만 자연산 인정 여부에는 차이를 보이지 않았다. 소비자들이 임산물 속성 가운데 중요시하는 요소는 품질과 효능으로 나타나 이를 강조하는 마케팅이 요구된다. 소득이 증가하면 신선도와 가격보다 자연산 여부를 중요하게 여기는 것으로 나타났으며 채취체험이 자연산 임산물 구매에 긍정적 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과들은 산림복합경영의 활성화를 위해 자연산 인증을 통해 소비자 신뢰를 획득하고 체험 관광과 연계하는 6차산업화 추진이 필요하다는 것을 시사한다.

산림은 온실가스의 흡수원이자 배출원으로 지구 기후완화에 중요한 역할을 하고 있다. 산림탄소 상쇄사업으로 발생하는 배출권의 신뢰성을 높이기 위해서는 비영속성(non-permanence) 문제를 현실적으로 해결하여야 한다. 본 연구는 주요 산림탄소 상쇄표준에서 적용하고 있는 비영속성 처리 방법을 분석하고 국내 산림탄소 상쇄제도에 적용 가능한 비영속성 문제 해결 방안으로 버퍼 제도의 도입을 제안하였다. 버퍼 제도는 주요 산림탄소 상쇄제도에서 비영속성을 처리하는 일반적인 방안일 뿐만 아니라 우리나라의 전문가 역시 가장 선호하는 방안이었다. 따라서 국내산림탄소 상쇄제도의 영속성 보장 조치로 버퍼제도의 도입 및 운영을 우선적으로 고려해야 한다. 기타 적용 가능한 방법으로는 산림인증제, 보전지역권, 산림보전 의무기간의 장기화 등을 고려할 수 있다. 산주들의 참여와 배출권의 영속성을 보장하기 위하여 산림사업별 위험도를 표준화하고 위험도에 따라 버퍼 양을 차등화하는 표준개발이 뒤따라야 한다.

In connection with biodiversity that has recently become the topic, competition to secure biological genetic resources is being heightened all over the world. Korea also has a variety of efforts to secure and preserve plant genetic resources, and has recognized the importance of the function and role of arboretums. Arboretums in Korea, however, have the problems in terms of quality due to the rapid increase. One of the problems is shortages in experts who are essential for the proper functioning of arboretums. To solve the problem, the State introduced Gardener Training Program certification system and started to train gardeners. However, gardeners who have actually employed at arboretums are less than 20% and thus the problem of shortages in experts still exists. In this context, this study examined 44 registered arboretums in Korea to find out the current situation of experts; analyzed arboretum experts and the program certification system in view of relevant laws; and investigated the current situation of training programs being operated in three Gardener Training Program certification organizations. Finally, this study conducted a survey of 68 gardeners who completed the training program at Chollipo Arboretum and tried to suggest a plan for securing experts from the gardener training programs. The plan for utilizing the trained gardeners as experts in arboretums is as follows: First, legal standards for the employment of experts in arboretums should be strengthened. Second, it is necessary to evaluate training programs, in order to raise the reliability of arboretum experts' expertise. Third, official validity that can be honored in all arboretums should be granted to a certificate of program completion. Finally, networks of gardeners who completed the programs should be formed through follow-up management of them.

Objectives: Stress hormone (cortisol) can be used to analyze psychological and physiological changes and healing effects before and after in blood and saliva. Here it is applied to scientifically validate the effects of the healthy forest experience in Deogyusan Mountain National Park. Methods: A healthy forest experience program was provided to college students (males and females) at Deogyusan National Park. Stress, hormones (cortisol), blood pressure, pulse, oxygen saturation and stress, anxiety, and depression were measured. This study was designed to objectively analyze the effects of stress hormones before and after. Results: Depression, stress, anxiety, and satisfaction with the forest experience program in Deogyusan National Park were very high in reliability in terms of Cronbach's Alpha: depression scored 0.910, stress 0.558, anxiety 0.934, program satisfaction 0.826, and program effectiveness 0.894. Conclusions: In this study, we utilized the Healthy Forest Experience Program and the 'Health and Medical Center Health Record Book' of the Health Forest Experience Program (Ministry of Environment's Environmental Education Certification Program). In the future, we will seek ways to utilize saliva since it is easier to collect than blood samples and apply the stress hormone cortisol as a saliva authentication program. In addition, by implementing ecological welfare programs in which nature and human beings coexist through systematic preservation and restoration, the national park management can utilize ecological, scenic and cultural services wisely. We expect to be able to provide exploration and welfare services.
