녹지식물과 접함으로써 얻어지는 생리 심리적 효과를 과학적으로 실증하는 것은 녹지의 심리효과에 대한 객관적인 지식의 제공과 더불어 인간의 감성을 고려한 녹지공간을 창출에 있어 유용한 근거가 될 것이다. 본 연구에서는 15명의 한국인 남성을 대상으로 자연 발산하는 소나무 잎의 향기를 맡는 동안 대뇌활동(뇌혈액동태)과 자율신경계활동(혈압, 맥박, 아밀라제)을 측정하고, SD법(Semantic Differential method)과 POMS(Profile Of Mood States)를 이용하여 소나무 향기에 대한 인상 및 감정상태의 변화를 평가하였다. 그 결과, 소나무 향기는 대뇌활동에 있어 전두야의 감정, 판단, 운동을 담당하는 부위와 측두야의 기억을 담당하는 부위의 활성화를 초래하였다. SD법과 POMS에 의한 언어적 평가에서는 소나무 향기는 자연적이지만, 자극적이고 활발한 인상을 가지며, 활기를 주고 혼란한 정서를 안정시키는 향기로서 평가되었다. 한편, 자율신경계활동에서는 유의한 차이는 보이지 않았다. 실증된 결과를 통해, 소나무 향기가 우리의 생리 심리적인 측면에 활력을 주는 사실이 과학적으로 검증되었으며, 금후 감성을 고려한 녹지환경 디자인을 위한 기초적인 자료로 활용될 것을 기대한다.

Background and objective: In the Republic of Korea, military service is mandatory. Some of new recruits have the stress from the special environment, which could cause psychological maladjustment. The military forces have operated education programs such as green camp and healing camp. The study was conducted to investigate changes in psychological and physiological stress by conducting forest healing activities along with plant scent treatment for soldiers participating in a green camp. Methods: A total of 52 soldiers were participated including maladjustment soldiers and those recommended by their military units to protect the unfit soldiers who participated in forest healing activities in the green camp. The programs that were certified by the Korea Forest Service between 2014 and 2019, and were applied for stress reduction and relaxation training were classified into stress-coping programs and forest experience programs. Post-hoc surveys and cortisol measurements were carried out. Results: Green camp soldiers experience and differences in the level of stress responses were found to be very statistically significant between the treatment and control groups. The techniques for coping with stress were not significantly different in the control group, and the treatment group showed statistically significant results. In addition, the results of analyzing changes in the concentration of cortisol and measuring physiological stress were very statistically significant in forest healing activities at 4 p.m. Conclusion: Once green camp soldiers face stressful situations, forest healing programs using forest plant scents for green camp soldiers can have positive responses and forest healing activities can reduce psychological and physiological stress responses, improving maladjustment behaviors caused by stress and positively affecting the reduction of cortisol.
