다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This research compared and analyzed the using behaviour, awareness of backcountry litter treatment and climbing ethics(LNT: Leave No Trace) by the survey for visitors to the Baegyangsa and Namchang Districts in the Naejangsan National Park. By the three hypotheses, this verified the difference of behaviour including the using purpose between amusement-oriented visitors' group and climbing-oriented visitors' group. Also, the visitors' favor of 'removal of the garbage can in the natural park' and 'the difference of the climbing ethics including backcountry litter treatment' were verified.
According to the characteristics of visitors to the Baegyangsa District in the Naejangsan National Park, the difference was shown in their age, residence and re-visit rate. Likewise, the visiting purpose was shown differentiated: 'appreciation of scenery(Baegyangsa District), 'walking and climbing (Namchang District)'. In the Namchang District, unlike the Baegyangsa District, the demand for 'information on litter treatment' was found relatively higher and the rate of lunch box bringing was high as with many climbing-oriented visitors. As for backcountry litter treatment, in positive aspect, the visitors to the Namchang District were more active than the amusement-oriented visitors to the Baegyangsa District. As a result of analyzing consciousness of 'removal of the garbage can in the national park', the visitors to the Baegyangsa District showed negative attitude compared with those to the Namchang District but the difference in consciousness was not found between two of them as for 'recognition level', 'satisfaction level' and 'reason for dissatisfaction'.
Therefore, the awareness of removal of the garbage can related to backcountry litter seems to be irrelevant to climbing purpose. The awareness level as for Removal Policy of Garbage Can in the Natural Park was found less than 50% and it is required to promote public relations for enhance the awareness thereof.
Meanwhile, it was found that the climbing ethics of visitors to the Namchang District was relatively more intense than those to the Baegyangsa District and this was based on the difference in climbing purpose between amusement-oriented visitors and climbing-oriented visitors. The climbing-oriented visitors to the Namchang District showed the climbing ethics different from amusement-oriented visitors in that they were aware of 'backcountry litter treatment' as the important climbing ethics(etiquette).
