Descripción
Forest welfare services and healing programs allow city dwellers to relax and enjoy leisure time at a relatively low cost. With an increasing demand for such forest healing services, now is the time to construct a robust policy and institutional framework for the creation of ‘Forest Healing Complex’. This paper aims to create a policy and build an institutional framework for the expansion of forest healing services and benefits in daily life.<br /> This paper emphasizes the necessity of creating ‘Forest Healing Complex’ based on a survey of demand and status of domestic forest healing services, and also examines a plan to introduce the Complex based on the analysis of trends and best practices at home and abroad. Furthermore, candidate sites for the Complex, principles of construction, and standards for siting were specified; facilities and activities to introduce were designed; and operation and maintenance plans were presented. Lastly, policy suggestions to promote forest healing among city dwellers were made as an alternative to creating urban forest healing places.
