인자분석법에 의한 자연휴양림 유형구분에 관한 연구

The purposes of this study are to classify recreation forests and to review the characteristics by recreation forest types. We attempt to drive the policy implications for recreation forest development by types. In order to accomplish these purposes, Factor Analysis(FA) which integrates multiple variables concerning the characteristics of recreation forest is adopted. FA model will provide the two integrated indicators for classifying recreation forests ; the measure of natural resources and the measure of utilization. Thus, we can divide the object recreation forests for analysis into nine types by crossing the two indicators. The analysis results of these major types can be outlined as follows. TypeⅠ is characterized by high scores on both resource category and use category. Its development direction should be emphasized on positive investment and continuous management. Type Ⅲ has high score in resource category but low score in use category. It should be focused on resource conservation and appropriate utilization in terms of maintenance and development direction. Type Ⅴ is characterized by medium scores on both resource category and use category. It should be focused on the policy of maintaining the present condition in terms of management and development direction. Type Ⅶ has low score in resource category score and high score in use category. In this case, it is appropriate to develop facility-oriented recreation forest. However, it is also necessary to implement forest management activities to enhance the quality of vegetation. Lastly, Type Ⅸ is characterized by low scores in both categories . Its development direction should be paid attention to avoiding excess investment.
