The purpose of the study is investigating the price fluctuation of landscaping plants in the Information on Commodity Prices(ICP) and the posted price fluctuation of landscaping plants of Public Procurement Service(PPS) recent 10 years. It also provides the basic information which can be applied to production and sales of landscaping plants, comparing with general price index. The major findings of the study are as follows. First, The price of investigated plants of PPS has increased about 4.56% in average recent 10 years. Among this increase, of evergreen tree was predominant. On the other hand, landscaping trees price of ICP has increased about only 2.34% in average. Secondly, The result shows that average price of investigated plants of PPS is positively related with the price of ICP. For this reason, we found that prices of ICP and of PPS move together in most case. However, we found that there are no relation between Consumer Price Index(CPI), Producer Price Index(PPI) and Agricultural Price Index(API). Therefore, price fluctuation of landscaping trees moves regardless of normal price fluctuation in general. Third, even though result shows that price index of evergreen trees, deciduous trees and shrubs are weakly related with normal price index partly, it was not high enough to be significant. According to the result, we found that price of landscaping plants is not related with market situation. For this reason, we thought that there are some difficulties for the reasonable production and sales of landscaping plants because the price is somewhat decided by rule of thumb. Therefore, understanding the composition of cost and making prediction by price fluctuation available are needed so that it can be practically conducive to reasonable production and sales.

The purpose of this study was on suggesting what is the image and image formation factor of interior landscaping plants. For this purpose, the sixty interior landscaping plants were selected. Selected plants were classified into 9 groups by similar characteristics of plants, for example, leaf color and leaf pattern. Data analysis were performed by semantic differential scale method, mean score and multiple regression algorithm. The results are as follows, 1. Comparing with image assessment, group 9 got the highest score in all aspects. 2. Comparing with the image assessment of interior landscaping plants, the "impressive" image was obtained the highest score and "bright", "cool", "beautiful" and "fresh" were followed. 3. Multiple regression analysis was performed to clarify influence degree of the adjectives related to the beauty. The next adjectives were significant check points on assessing the beauty of interior landscaping plants. Also, Guzmania magnifical was investigated to have the most beautiful image with the results of preference analysis. Vriesea splendens, Cordyline terminalis Kunth 'Lilliput' and Peperomia sandersii were identified as considerably preferred plants. were identified as considerably preferred plants.

This study aims to find out methods to more efficiently maintain and manage landscape areas within apartment complexes by analyzing various factors related to landscape management and managers' perception. The following results were obtained. First, 50.3% of the surveyed apartment complexes performed own landscaping, while 25.2% hired landscaping services partially, which indicates that apartment management offices maintained facilities by themselves or partially hired landscaping companies due to a shortage of funds. Second, among apartments that perform own landscaping, 37.5% of them were built more than 20 years ago, while 34.3% of apartment complexes that were built less than 5 years ago were found to hire professional management. Regarding the total number of households, 34.7% of those that perform own landscaping had less than 300 households, while 48.6% of those that hire full landscaping had more than 2,000 households. Third, regarding landscaping cost, 63.9% of those that perform own landscaping spent less than 20 KRW per square meter, while 28.6% of those that hire full landscaping spent less than 20 KRW per square meter and 25.7% spent less than 50 KRW per square meter, showing that the management cost was higher in the apartments hiring full landscaping. Fourth, work types also showed differences between landscape management types. Only 50.9% of self landscaping apartment complexes were found to regularly trim trees, while 91.4% of apartments that hire full landscaping services performed the same tasks, keeping trees healthy and visibly more appealing. Fifth, the apartments hiring full landscaping showed a higher level of work satisfaction (3.46) than those performing own landscaping (2.67). Sixth, on the matter of the level of satisfaction depending on the type of work, most items showed a statistically significance in apartments hiring full landscaping (3.11-3.43 on average), compared to apartments performing own landscaping (2.4-2.9 on average).

The field and nursery experiments were conducted from January of 1996 to December of 1998 on the Chonju Arboretum and Honam highway in Korea Highway Corporation. We have investigated thirty species of native plants and came to a conclusion that Chrysanthemum zawadskii var. latilobum, Aster koraiensis, Iris nertschinskia, Fennisetum alopecuroides, Viola kapsanensis are very suitable for highway landscaping. And, if the problems raised during this investigation are resolved, it is clear that Polygonatum odoratum var. plurijlorum, Belamcanda chinensis, Allium thunbergii, Ophiopogon japonicus, Dianthus superbus var. longicalycinus, Disporum sessile, Lilium tigrinum, Caryopteris incana, Aquilegia flabellata var. pumila, Pulsatilla koreana, Aster spathulifolius etc. can be useful plants at highway landscaping.

The current regulations and laws related to landscaping facilities within apartment estates stipulate the proportion of the estate lot allocated to green area and landscaping. These regulations define the criteria for landscaping, the density of trees and other related matters. In fact. the selection and locations of trees are determined by the builder. The builder first decides the location of the building and then allocates the residual land to landscaping. So landscaping within apartment complexes is often unmet to residents' need and ecological growth and function of trees and plants. This study was designed to examine the variety of trees and their location as an aspect of their function within each area of the YS and DK apartment complexes. As the results, the difference in the two estates is striking in aspects of quantity and quality. Even though the regulations for landscaping within apartment estate is met. the real landscaping is often unmet to residents and general people.

The purpose of the study is to explore strategies to revitalize the distribution of landscaping plants in Gangwon State (hereinafter referred to as Gangwon-do). To understand the current distribution status and perception of landscape materials in Gangwon-do, a survey was conducted on producers and consumers focusing on cultivation area and method, cultivated species and quantity, purchase species and quantity, and purchase area. Producers often cultivated open land, and in the case of trees and shrubs, most of them cultivated <5 species. On the other hand, consumers preferred field cultivation products when purchasing trees and shrubs. Approximately 6-10 species of trees and shrubs were preferred for a single purchase, confirming an imbalance in the supply and demand of landscaping plants. In addition, both producers and consumers had a positive perception of landscape plant transactions in Gangwon-do; however, the dissatisfaction factors for producers included a small consumer base and difficulties for them in securing standards and quantities. Based on these results, it is necessary to establish a platform that can interconnect producers' landscape plant cultivation information with consumers' requirements to rejuvenate the landscape plant distribution market and enhance competitiveness in Gangwon-do. In addition, this platform is expected to have a positive impact on improving the quality of landscaping plants, setting reasonable prices, and increasing domestic demand in Gangwon-do by providing opportunities for cultivation, promotion, and marketing education through producer support projects.
