본 연구는 내장산국립공원 탐방객 281명을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하여 탐방 후 평가를 통하여 만족도, 만족요인 과 예측모형을 분석하여 실질적인 공원관리의 기초자료를 제공하는데 그 목적이 있다. 만족도 분석결과 내장산사무소는 공공시설부족 및 불만, 이용프로그램부족, 숙박시설 부족 및 불만, 시설이용료부담감, 바가지요금 등, 백암사무소는 시설이용료부담감, 이용프로그램, 상업시설 불만 및 부족, 숙박시설 등에 불만족하였다. 만족요인으로는 '시설관리', '이용자관리' 요인이 내장산사무소(34.3%)와 백암사무소(45.6%)에서 가장 큰 영향을 미쳤으며, 만족도 예측모형에 있어서 내장산사무소는 '탐방로훼손', '상업시설만족도', '쓰레기처리', 백암사무소는 '문화역사자원훼손', '상업시설만족도', '호객행위방지' 등의 순으로 만족도에 영향을 미치는 예측모형이 만들어졌다. 지리적으로 유사한 위치에 있으며 자원과 특성이 비슷하여 큰 차이를 보이지 않았으며 탐방객의 75%가 집중하는 가을단풍기에 시설 및 이용자를 위한 관리기법이 필요한 것으로 나타났다.
