【 摘 要 】

and in Inje only social factors had influence on the attitude toward BDMS Protected Area. To measure local people’s intention on their support for the BDMS Protected Area, intention was hypothesized as dependent variable and attitude as independent variable. Results showed that the attitude had positive influence on their intention on support for the BDMS Protected Area.For the second part, six questions from the 26 questions (one from economic and cultural factor each and two from social and ecological factor each) were extracted. Attitude was hypothesized as dependent variable and the 6 questions as independent variable. Factors that influenced local people’s attitude toward Baekdu Daegan Mountain System as a World Heritage Site were ;;local economy improvement’ ;;regional pride’ and ;;restrictions on development’. To measure local people’s intention to support the BDMS as World Heritage Site, intention was hypothesized as dependent variable and attitude as independent variable. Results show that attitude positively influence their intention to support for the BDMS as a World Heritage Site.Local people expect some positive changes upon the BDMS designation as a World Heritage Site, which means that if government was to put more effort in promoting the BDMS as a World Heritage Site and meeting the demand of local people’s needs the designation process will be much easier.
