This study aims to systematize the essential components for school forest space design guidelines by deriving school forest types and planning characteristics, and analyzing the current status of the surveyed school forests. First, based on an investigation of school forest types and the planning characteristics for each type, school forests can be classified into four types: Forest at the School Boundary, Forest Around the School Building, Forest Area in Part of the Playground, and Central Garden Forest. Additionally, a review of prior research to derive school forest planning characteristics revealed five key attributes: naturalness, functionality, accessibility, diversity, and safety. These characteristics were further broken down into detailed elements, establishing the components for school forest planning. Based on these planning components, field surveys were conducted at three high schools in Busan. The results indicated the need for various greening methods to create green spaces, relocation of certain facilities, calculation of the required number of facilities based on space size, circulation planning, and universal design. Therefore, it is concluded that the school forest space design guidelines can classify spaces based on the characteristics and utilization of each school forest type and propose detailed instructions for the planning components of school forests. |
