Abstract

The purpose of this study were to provide basic visitor information for effective park management and to understand visitors' perception about the interpretive media which is utilized as environmental interpretation in Byeonsanbando National Park, Korea. To accomplish the purposes of study, a questionnaire survey was chosen and the 291 valid samples among them were analyzed. Among who used the interpretive media, the largest proportion used the visitor center exhibits, and the usage rate of interpretive label of woody plant and guided interpretation were shown to be relatively high. However, the park brochures(map) was evaluated that use efficiency was low. In the analysis of importance-performance for the environmental interpretation media, the mean of importance was 3.64 and that of performance was 3.03, which were lower than Chiaksan and Weolchusan National Park's survey data.

본 연구는 변산반도국립공원에서 활용되고 있는 각종 환경해설 매체에 대한 탐방객 인식을 파악하여 효율적인 공원관리 기초자료 제공을 목적으로 수행하였다. 이를 위해 탐방객 직접기입 방식의 설문조사를 실시하였고 총 291매의 설문지가 유효 표본으로 이용되었다. 조사결과 '탐방지원센터 전시물'이 가장 이용률이 높은 환경해설 매체로 나타났으며 '수목이름 해설판', '자연해설 프로그램'은 비교적 높은 이용률을 보였다. 그러나 공원안내지도'는 이용 효율성이 떨어지는 매체로 평가되었다. 공원내 환경해설 매체에 대한 중요도-성취도 분석 결과 중요도 평균값은 3.64, 성취도 평균값은 3.03으로 치악산과 월출산국립공원에서 조사한 결과보다 낮았다.
