Abstract

This study was conducted to provide information which will be useful for managing the forest trails effectively. To investigate users' attitudes toward the forest trail construction and use, a questionnaire survey was employed in the Jirisan Dulegil. As the results, most of the respondents perceived that the Jirisan Dulegil have positive impact economically and socio-culturally on community growth. Contrastively, a negative perception existed in the environmental aspect. The users' satisfaction level regarding the Jirisan Dulegil appear to be positive. Users' satisfaction level regarding use services provided in community boundary was evaluated relatively lower. In this point of view, trail use service system provided in the community should be reconsidered for effective forest trail management.

본 연구는 우리나라의 자연환경 기반 도보문화의 공급요소로서 숲길의 조성과 이용에 대한 이용자의 인식을 파악하여 향후 체계적인 숲길운영에 필요한 기초자료 제공을 목적으로 수행되었다. 이를 위해, 지리산 둘레길을 이용하는 이용자 대상의 자기기입식 설문조사를 실시하였다. 조사결과, 이용자들은 지리산둘레길 조성 사업이 지역사회의 경제 및 사회 문화 환경에 보다 긍정적 영향을 미쳤을 것으로 인식하고 있는 반면, 환경적 측면에서는 부정적 영향을 미쳤을 것으로 인식하였다. 숲길 이용에 따른 전반적인 만족도 수준은 비교적 높게 나타났으나 마을내 이용서비스에 대한 만족도 수준은 상대적으로 낮게 평가되어 향후 숲길 운영효율화 측면에서 마을에서 제공되는 숲길 이용 서비스 체계에 대한 제고 방안 마련이 필요할 것으로 판단된다.
