Social and scientific changes, i.e., global warming, desertification, pollution, biodiversity, bioenergy, plant variety protection, biotechnology, timber demand, reforestation in North Korea, and etc., were reviewed for new strategy of forest tree breeding in Korea. Diversified breeding goals, globalization of breeding target species, multidisciplinary research approaches, manpower networking, establishment of new administrative and research units in KFS and KFRI were proposed. Principles suggested for new tree breeding strategy are: 1) multi-disciplinary approach in settlement of objectives, breeding methods, and etc., 2) expansion of target trees including foreign species, 3) fulfillment of both domestic and international demands for forest tree breeding, 4) establishment of breeding program well-grounded on genetic resources conservation, 5) acknowledgement of breeding products (i.e., variety, technique, gene, and etc.) as goods, and 6) provision of more research opportunities for young scientists. Lastly, ongoing tree breeding project in Indonesia and NTFP R&D Center at the College of Forest and Environmental Sciences, Kangwon National University were introduced as examples of desirable breeding projects based on target species diversification, multidisciplinary approach, and manpower networking.

This study proposes a strategy for the creation and management of urban forests in Paju Heyri art village. Urban forest composition attributes (4 categories and 16 items) were extracted and the questionnaire was asked to the level and the current level for tourists, local residents and workers in Paju Heyri art village. And the priority order for the creation of urban forests was derived through the difference between the present level (performance) and the required level (importance) and the requirements analysis procedure. In this study, the priorities of each item of urban forest formation attributes were determined. The t-test alone had limitations, so we calculated the Borich needs which were not covered by the existing Importance - Performance Analysis (IPA). We used the Locus for Focus Model, which is a method for visually confirming the difference between the current level and the required value for the required level in the 4-quadrant coordinate plane. The results of this study show that the seven priorities can be used as a useful tool for the formulation of urban forests and operational strategies and can be a basic research for the activation of urban forests in the future.

The purpose of this study is to analyze impacts of the forest fragmentation caused by development project. Furthermore, to investigate the applicability of landscape indicator when 'Feasibility of forest land conversion to other use' is conducted. The study site was consisted of golf course development and road construction. It is to compare before and after impacts of areal and linear development. As for the methods, selecting landscape indices, clustered into 3 Categories have been utilized. Category I was concerned with 'size of forest patches', II as 'shape of forest patches', and III as 'Core Area' These were calculated by FRAGSTATS, the program for analyzing fragmentation. The results showed that linear development caused more fragmented than areal development projects. Also, patch size, patch shape and core area are related to impacts of development, while Patch size decreased, patch shape and core area increased after development. Therefore, it is necessary to minimize the impacts of forest by considering fragmentation when development project is planned.

현대 사회에는 도시 생활과 환경으로 인한 건강 문제가 증가하고 있는데 자연환경은 이러한 문제에 좋은 대안으로 대두되고 있다. 특히 숲과 나무는 예전부터 치유를 위한 공간으로 알려져 왔다. 주요우울장애는 매우 일반적이고 만성적인 질병으로 치료방법에는 약물치료와 다양한 심리치료가 포함되어 있다. 그러나 이러한 치료들은 환자들의 기능과 활동을 복귀시키는 것 보다는 기분 증상을 치료하는 것에 집중되어 있다. 본 연구에서는 우울증 환자들의 재활을 위한 산림활동 심리프로그램을 개발하였다. 본 연구에는 약물치료로 우울 증상은 개선되었으나 활동과 기능이 회복되지 못한 9명의 우울증 환자들이 참여하였다. 산림치유 프로그램은 4회기가 진행되었으며 매 회기마다 환자들의 우울증상과 심박변이도를 측정하였다. 4주간의 산림활동 심리프로그램 후 HRSD(Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression)로 측정된 우울감이 유의하게 감소하였으며, 건강관련 삶의 질을 측정하는 SF-36의 하위 척도의 점수가 상승하였고 심박통일성이 증가하였다. 본 예비적 연구 결과, 산림환경을 이용한 활동과 심리치료적 프로그램은 약물치료 중인 우울증 환자들의 기능회복과 재발방지에 긍정적인 역할을 할 가능성을 확인하였다.

본 연구는 숲이라는 자연환경이 인터넷 중독 청소년의 인터넷 중독과 자존감에 어떤 영향을 미치는지를 알아본 것이다. 본 연구의 목적을 달성하기 위하여 동일한 집단상담 프로그램을 숲과 교실이라는 환경에서 각각 실시하여 그 차이를 비교하였다. S시의 중학생 24명을 실험집단, 비교집단, 통제집단 등으로 각각 8명씩 무선 할당하여 총 6회기의 프로그램을 실시하고 사후 및 추후에 집단 간에 차이가 있는지를 알아보았다. 종속변수는 인터넷 중독 점수와 자존감 점수로 하였다. 연구결과, 숲에서 프로그램을 실시한 실험집단이 통제집단에 비하여 사후 및 추후 시기에서 인터넷 중독점수에서 유의한 차이가 있었다. 시기별로 보면, 실험집단은 사전에 비하여 사후 및 추후에 인터넷 중독 점수에서 유의한 차이가 있었다. 비교집단은 통제집단에 비하여 사후 및 추후시기에 집단 간에 유의한 차이가 없었다. 숲 환경에서 실시한 프로그램은 비교집단과 통제집단에 비하여 사후 및 추후시기에 자존감의 점수에서 집단 간 유의한 차이를 보였으며 실험집단은 비교집단 및 통제집단에 비하여 자존감의 점수가 유의하게 상승되었다, 비교집단 또한 통제집단에 비하여 자존감이 유의하게 상승된 것으로 나타났다. 또한 실험집단은 사전에 비하여 사후 및 추후에 자존감 점수가 유의하게 상승된 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구결과는 숲이라는 자연환경이 인터넷 중독 청소년의 중독 증상을 감소시키고 자존감을 향상하는 등의 치료적 기제를 가지고 있음을 시사한다. 앞으로의 연구에서는 다양한 중독자에 대한 치료적 방법의 하나로서 숲 환경이 어떤 영향을 미치는 지를 검증해볼 필요가 있다. 끝으로 본 연구의 제한점과 시사점을 기술하였다.

Objectives: This study aims to develop a decent sallimyok program and provide basic data which are helpful in improving psychological wellbeing for adults who are exposed to stress and fatigue. Methods: Middle-aged women living in Cheongju, Chungbuk were divided into experimental and control groups (10 people each) through convenience sampling, and a questionnaire survey on psychological wellbeing was distributed to them and collected. For data analysis, IBM/SPSS 20.0 was used. In terms of statistical analysis, a reliability test (Cronbach's ${\alpha}$) was conducted. To test research questions 1 and 2, independent t-test and paired sample t-test were carried out. Results: First, a sallimyok program features meditation (floor-sitting, slow walk), forest therapy, stretching exercise, wrapping-up and sharing feelings. Second, it was confirmed that a sallimyok program has a positive effect on the improvement of psychological wellbeing and the depression for women. Conclusions: The sallimyok program improved participants' psychological wellbeing, which means that it could reduce their anxiety and stress.

Because fire has significant impacts on fauna and flora in forest ecosystems, as well as socioeconomic influences to local community, it has been an important field of study for decades. One of the most common ways to reduce fire risk is to enhance fire-resilience of forest through fuel treatments including thinning and prescribed burning. Since fuel treatment can't be practiced over all forested areas, appropriate and effective strategies are needed. The present study aims to look at the relationship between spatial characteristics of forest structure measured with landscape pattern metrics and burn severity to provide guidelines for effective fuel treatments. Samchuck fire was selected for the study, and 232 grids covering the study areas were generated, and the grid size was 1km. The burn severity is measured with dNBR derived from satellite imagery, and spatial characteristics of forest structure were measured using FRAGSTATS for both landscape and class levels for each 1km grid. The results of this study strongly indicated that heterogeneity in composition and configuration of forests may significantly reduce burn severity. By enhancing heterogeneity of forests, fuel treatments for fire-resilience forest could be more effective.
