“…Kang et al found that, to address the environmental protection issues of mountain villages caused by geographical disadvantages, South Korea proposed the Mountain Village Development Support Program. This program improves villagers' living conditions and promotes agricultural and forestry development by commercializing forest resources, establishing favorable settlement conditions, and expanding government support [147]. Jian, using the example of the Yao mountain rural settlements in northern Thailand, demonstrated how the Royal Hilltribe Development Program positively contributes to the long-term wellbeing of tribal people.…”

The study of Features and Characteristics of Mountainous Rural Settlements (RFCMRS) is a key factor in the development of rural settlements during the urbanization process. Mountainous rural settlements, due to their unique mountainous conditions, climate, living environments, and regional culture, are among the important subjects of research for governments and the academic community worldwide. This paper, utilizing the knowledge mapping software CiteSpace (6.2.R3) for co-citation and collaboration analysis, keyword clustering, keyword time zoning, and keyword emergence, analyzes the research trajectory, key issues, and future trends of RFCMRSs. The study finds that current RFCMRS research can be categorized into the following three key issues: “implications of climate change: risks and adaptive responses”, “regional cultural heritage and economic development”, and “ecological conservation and fostering harmonious symbiosis”. Future research will focus on the following three development trends: “risk response based on climate resilience and ecological protection”, “factors of features and characteristics based on regional culture and landscape configurations”, and “human settlements based on low-carbon objectives and sustainable development principles”. Lastly, the paper proposes the following three future research suggestions: “improving the evaluation system for features and characteristics of mountainous rural settlements”, “deepening the study on the evolutionary phenomenon and mechanism for features and characteristics of mountainous rural settlements”, and “exploring the design methods for features and characteristics of mountainous rural settlements based on the concept of sustainable development”.

“…Previous studies [6][7][8] have reported that, although primary industries, such as forestry and agriculture are declining, tourism becomes a tool to help creating local jobs and raising the level of economic welfare. Based on these studies, the Korean government has used more regional resources and pursued policies targeting urban-rural coordination and regional synergies, encouraging community participation, and focusing on rural, green, and eco-tourism [9]. As part of national projects, Korean Forest Service has designated some countryside forests, approved by an assessment procedure, as "Healing forest" [10].…”

The present study aimed to evaluate the effects of physical activities on human health in forests in countryside and rural areas. The test experiment was conducted in a countryside forest, whereas the controlled experiment was conducted in an urban area where the study participants resided. A total of 22 participants (aged 20.9 ± 1.3 years) were evaluated in this study. Heart rate variability and salivary cortisol level were used as indices of physiological conditions, and semantic differential method, profile of mood states (POMS), and state-trait anxiety inventory (STAI) were used to evaluate the participants’ emotional states. The participants were asked to walk around forest and urban areas for 15 min. The results were as follows. As compared to the urban area, in the forest area, (1) the power of the high-frequency (HF) component of the heart rate variability (HRV) was significantly higher; (2) low-frequency (LF)/(LF + HF) was significantly lower; (3) salivary cortisol level was significantly lower; (4) the participants felt more comfortable, natural, relaxed, and less anxious and showed higher levels of positive emotions and lower levels of negative emotions. Consequently, walking in the forest area induces relaxing short-term physiological and psychological effects on young people living in urban areas.

“…In this context; the mountains meet the economic, social and psychological needs of the local people. Physical environment, unsustainable agricultural practices and population growth of mountainous areas limit the livelihoods of rural people and affect the destruction of forests and biodiversity (Kang et al, 2017). These anthropogenic effects on the physical environment have been threaten the sustainability of natural resources by causing environmental problems such as soil, air, water pollution and destruction of the natural and cultural environment.…”

“…These programs are used to improve the living conditions of the local people, to increase their income and to experience the sustainability of natural resources. In the process of protection and management, the importance of the cooperation, support and effective role of the local people to these programs are increasing (Gibbs and Bromely, 1990;Rao and Geisler, 1990;Western et al, 1994;Gibson and Marks, 1995;Tomićević et al, 2010). Sustainable mountain management; they require holistic planning and socio-cultural processes.…”

The aim of this study was to analyze the ways of people of Kahramanmaraş Ahir Dağı, benefiting from the natural environment and the effects of physical environmental conditions on these forms of utilization. The way of local population benefited from the natural environment has analyzed by means of questionnaires and the obtained data were evaluated by SPSS. Then, the obtained data was analyzed by using the variance analysis by associating with the elevation and land cover. The data obtained from the analysis were interpreted to the basis for nature conservation studies. As a result; physical environment conditions in mountainous areas affected by the recreational attractiveness of the local people with their income status, educational status, variety of livelihoods, their perspective on life, the variety and degree of environmental pressures and the degree of environmental pressures. Based on the results obtained, it has been proposed to increase the education level of the local people, to provide education to increase environmental awareness and awareness, to support alternative livelihoods and to increase pasture areas.
