This study aimed to provide data for establishment of resource management system of Iriomote Island in Okinawa Japan. Nature resource management system of Iriomote Island can be categorized into eight stages which are equivalent to regional development stages. 1) Networking among local people, tourists, researchers, tour operators and government authorities enhanced collection of resource data. 2) On the early stage, resource data were available only to researchers and government authorities. From the third stage of this system, however, local people were also involved in resource investigation, so they became to well recognize the values of their local resources. 3) On the sixth stage, data on unfamiliar local resources and attractions became to be known to people by real-time data collection and data provision services. The tourist number gradually increased and their visitation patterns were dispersed into different sites and seasons. In addition, some tourists also participated in resource investigation and they were likely to visit the place again. 4) To achieve successful ecotourism development, it is necessary to establish a management system with a feed-back process to identify, evaluate, use and protect the resources.

The city of Siheung in the Kyunggi-do Province has various natural resources such as the ocean, mountains, wide farmland, various types of wetlands, streams and rivers. In addition, the city has a big greenbelt, which consists of two-thirds of the area, where development has been regulated. Since the city has a relatively well-preserved natural environment, it offers a great potential for regional development. The purpose of this study is to create an eco-tourism resource plan for the Mulwang reservoir, which offers many opportunities for ecotourism in the city of Siheung. This study includes a literature review for planning elements and suggests a comprehensive plan that includes conservation, eco-restoration, route program and practice program for ecotourism in and around the site. The plan also includes eco-farming, a visitor center, an ecovillage, the chance to experience livestock farming, opportunities to learn about and experience the forest, tracking, eco-learning, an environmental interpretation facility, fishing and aquatic-oriented leisure activities. This study's process and results show possibilities that can be applied to other areas where eco-tourism using natural resources is used for regional development.

생태 관광이란 우수한 자연자원과 주변의 역사, 문화 자원 체험을 통해 느끼고 관찰하는 관광을 말하며, 현재 국민들의 여가생활 패턴이 변경됨에 따라 자연을 찾는 힐링(healing) 여행이 활성화 되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 계절에 따라 변화하고 특정한 시기에만 관람이 가능한 생태 관광 프로그램의 문제점을 해결하고 지속 가능한 생태 관광이 이루어 질 수 있는 관광 콘텐츠 시스템을 제안한다. 제안하는 관광 콘텐츠 시스템은 이미지 촬영 단말기에서 매일 촬영한 생태 관광 이미지 파일을 수거하여 동영상으로 변환 후 서버에 업로드 하면 관광객이 생태 관광 객체에 도착했을 때, 스마트폰을 이용하여 알려주고 식물의 성장 과정 등을 동영상으로 관람할 수 있도록 설계하였다.

This paper deals with system thinking in the resilience of the SES (Social-Ecological Systems) around Mt. Gariwang, located in Jeongseon County, Gangwon Province, in particular with the disturbance that a new ski slope is planned to be built for the PyeongChang 2018 Winter Olympic. It first performs a literature survey and newspaper article search to summarize the controversy with regards to credible environmental and socio-economical impacts of the plan, and then elaborates a series of CLDs (Causal Loop Diagrams) to infer the dynamics of the impacts. The results imply that the natural restoration seems to be hard because the development activities can cause a great deal of damage to the ecosystem mainly due to soil degradation and the mitigation of icy valley effects with water exploitation for making artificial snow and so on. Moreover most of the households near the planned site seem to leave with land compensation, thus more policy efforts are needed to enhance the resilience of the ecosystem and the nearby society based on ecotourism.

Thailand's tourism industry contributed to over three trillion baht in 2019. Tourist attractions across Thailand attract tourists around the world with their natural scenery, lifestyles, and cultures, especially in those called "second-tier cities". Community enterprises play a vital role to drive the tourism industry to local areas. However, most community enterprises lack professional accounting knowledge. This research aims to provide guidelines for ecotourism cost management of community enterprises in Thailand. Participatory Action Research (PAR) was employed to investigate the current circumstances of the Banlaem enterprise by using in-depth interviews to identify problems in cost management. Then, the focus and small group meetings were organized to monitor and evaluate solutions. The results reveal that the cost of VIP-Two Days trip was generating the highest net profit and margin, followed by VIP-One Day trip, but net losses were detected on the Students-One Day trip, even though income was greater than the variable costs, revenues didn't cover fixed costs. Thus, accounting knowledge could be a major concern of these enterprises. They should systematically record revenues and expenses, set appropriate labor costs, reduce production costs by using seasonal seafood and make use of vegetables in their gardens, and price products according to their production costs.

Ecotourism as a alternative tourism destination has to adapt to current market mechanisms, which is becoming extremely competitive and which are dominated by communication and promotion strategies and techniques. We need to know the causative factors and influences by which tourists are motivated to become included in various market segments. The primary purpose of this study is to segment and profile the motivations of ecotourist, so as to enable a better understanding of ecotourism in Korea. A self-administered survey was collected from 200 tourists in the study area. A factor-clustering method identified four distinct segments: want-it-all seeker, passive seeker, aesthetic seeker, value sharing seeker. We conclude by considering the relevant of our findings to ongoing discussions of ecotourists' market segmentation.

Purpose: This study was conducted to gauge the economic evaluation and sample distribution of conserving the Belum Royal State Park (BRSP) in Perak, Malaysia and to identify factors influencing its use by the community. This study aims to examine community perception on the conservation of the Belum Royal State Park (BRSP) and maximum community's willingness to pay for park entry permits fees. Research design, data and methodology: A questionnaire survey was conducted involving a total of 280 respondents. The study adopted the Dichotomous Choice Contingent Valuation Approach (DC-CVM) and the Logistic Model, to estimate the maximum community's willingness to pay for park entry permits fees. Results: The results established that the factors of respondent's occupation, income, ecotourism influence on the BRSP and maximum entry price, significantly influenced visitors' decision on community's willingness to pay. The average community's willingness to pay was RM9.68 per person. Conclusions: In conclusion, surveillance and patrols in protected areas should be expanded. The extra expense for ensuring safety can be offset through income from ecotourism that should also benefit the local community on economic evaluation and equal distribution on the BRSP.

이 연구는 우리나라 생태관광지 방문객 시장에 대한 이해를 높이기 위하여 우리나라 생태관광지를 방문하는 국내 관광객의 생태관광 동기와 태도를 바탕으로 시장세분화를 실시하였다. 2016년 11월 말부터 2017년 1월 초까지 경기도 대부 해솔 1길을 방문하는 관광객을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하여 수집된 434명의 응답자료를 분석에 이용하였다. 탐색적 요인분석과 K-means 군집분석을 이용하여 방문객의 동기와 태도를 바탕으로 시장을 세분화하였다. 그 결과, 방문객들을 '자연탐방형 책임있는 관광객', '소극적 자연탐방형 관광객' 그리고 '자연탐방 및 친목도모형 책임있는 관광객'으로 분류할 수 있었으며, 세 개의 세분시장은 공통적으로 '자연탐방' 동기가 두드러졌으나, 각기 다른 수준의 '일상탈출', '건강증진', '친목도모' 동기와 생태관광 태도를 갖는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 각 세분시장 간에는 인구통계적 특성, 여행 특성, 만족도에서 통계적으로 유의미한 차이를 보이는 것으로 나타나, 이 연구에서 사용된 생태관광 동기와 태도 척도가 생태관광지 방문객 시장을 세분화하는 기준으로 유용하다는 것을 확인하였다. 과거 연구들이 관광객의 환경관련 태도만 측정하여 시장세분화 가능성을 확인한 반면, 이 연구는 지역사회 및 주민에 대한 책임 있는 행동에 대한 태도의 측정과 분석을 포함하고 있다는 점에서 보다 포괄적이고 생태관광지에 특화된 기준으로 시장 세분화의 가능성을 확인했다는데 의의가 있다.
