  • This study is about apartment greening to improve urban environment. To achieve this, questionnaires concerning the planter preferences were distributed. To improve perpendicular greening methods for apartments, MOCT (The Ministry of Construction and Transportation) reformed the law to obligate constructors to make apartment planters in June, 2000. But apartment residents take negative attitudes to making green space. It is difficult to manage the planters as well, so it is necessary that the point at making green spaces at apartments be scrutinized through questionnaires and an active method for making and managing the planter be made. The results show that apartment residents are reluctant to pay the expenses for planting and managing planters and have negative attitudes about plant purchases. If planting and managing of simplified planters are continually entrusted to residents, even vertical landscapes will be affected by illegal diversion and negligence as a result. Therefore, support from governments and local administrations are needed and legal obligation should be imposed on construction companies to install irrigation facilities.

  • This study aims to analyze and compare environmental attitudes of interest groups, including visitors, local residents, Buddhist monks, and staff of the Korea National Park Service in Gayasan National Park. To achieve this purpose, five hypotheses were formulated and tested. While three hypotheses were statistically rejected, two were accepted. In every interest group, the environmental attitude level of women was higher than that of men. Local residents particularly showed statistically significant differences in accordance with occupation. The difference in environmental attitude between visitors and local residents was not statistically significant. Finally, the environmental attitude level between interest groups was divided into three groups. The staff of the Korea National Park Service showed the highest level of environmental attitude, followed by Buddhist monks, and a group of visitors and residents recorded the lowest. However, the average level of environmental attitude of every interest group scored above the mid-point of 3. Therefore, it can be concluded that there exists no difference between or conflicts among interest groups related to strengthening conservation and management policies regarding the protection of Gayasan National Park.

  • This study was focused on the role of social capital as a measure for managing the sustainable growth and development of tourist destinations. Its ultimate objective is to elucidate that social capital is an important tool used to promote the sustainable tourist development, where the tourist development has an effect on the residents' satisfaction with their regions and attitudes toward tourist development, who have lived in tourist destinations. It also verified the moderating effect of social capital on the influencing relationship between perceived negative effects of tourist development and residents' satisfaction with their regions and attitudes toward tourist development, by dividing Yeosu-si, in which over tourism has occurred, in Jeollanam-do into old downtowns and others. An empirical analysis of such effects shows that they are stronger in old downtowns in which tourist development has been concentrated, than in others which deviated from it. This suggests that social capital can be a measure for reducing the negative effects of tourist development or maintaining sustainable development and growth. It is thus necessary to develop and promote a variety of policies reflecting the characteristics of social capital, such as the basic ordinance for activating private-public governance, community clubs, village general assemblies and so forth.
