한국형 관광기후지수를 이용한 우리나라 관광기후환경 변화에 관한 연구

초록

This study aimed at examining the changes of time series and spatial pattern s of tourism climatic conditions using Korea Tourism Climate Index (KTCI) of South Korea. Spatial patterns of KTCI represent climate characteristics in all seasons of South Korea,. KTCI also shows which tourism climate condition inappropriately (appropriately) shows the changes of tourism activity in the summer (winter) season in response to the global warming. KTCI is therefore expected to be a more suitable index than TCI (Tourism Climate Index) when it comes to the incorporation of the global warming into the index. KTCI can also be used for improving the future prediction about tourism climate conditions and provide useful information for the establishment of countermeasure strategies for climate change.
