Abstract

As interest in 'Forest therapy' continues to increase, local governments as well as Korea Forest Service (KFS) are actively promoting a project to create 'healing forests' nationwide. In this situation, it is necessary to examine whether such a policy is suitable. Therefore, the main purpose of this study is to estimate the use value of Jangseong healing forest which is the most-visited place among the national healing forests. To achieve this aim, a survey of randomly selected 400 visitors was conducted in Jangseong healing forest. 391 surveys were used for analysis, excluding 9 untruthful answers. And 1.5 bounded dichotomous choice contingent valuation method (CVM) was used to estimate the economic value of Jangseong healing forest. As a result, the average willingness to pay ($wTP_{mean}$) for the use fee of Jangseong healing forest was 35,010 won per visitor per day. And the annual use value of Jangseong healing forest was estimated to be worth almost 7.5 billion won.

산림치유에 대한 수요가 급증함에 따라 산림청뿐만 아니라 각 지자체에서 치유의 숲 조성을 활발하게 추진하고 있다. 막대한 예산이 투입되는 정책이니만큼 정책 추진의 타당성을 신중히 검토할 필요가 있다. 따라서 이 연구는 이용객 수가 급증하고 있는 장성 치유의 숲의 이용가치를 추정하는 것이 목적이다. 이를 위해 장성 치유의 숲 이용객 400명을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였으며, 이 가운데 불성실 응답지 9부를 제외한 391부를 분석에 사용하였다. 경제적 가치 추정은 1.5 양분선택형 CVM 방법을 적용하였다. 분석 결과, 장성 치유의 숲의 1인 1회 이용료에 대한 지불의사금액($WTP_{mean}$)은 35,010원, 연간 이용가치는 약 75억 원으로 추정되었다.
