Abstract

National parks are geographically located in mountain areas, and natural disaster of risk factors are scattered, and damage to human life and property is continuously occurring due to various safety accidents. This study tried to suggest an efficient trail safety management plan by comparing and analyzing the distribution and characteristics of risk factors in Bukhansan and Seoraksan National Park, which show similar characteristics, based on the trail safety evaluation data collected from the previous studies. In Bukhansan National Park, risk factors due to safety accidents such as fall and slipping are very high, whereas in Seoraksan National Park, the distribution of risk factors for falling rocks is higher than safety accidents. These results improved the existing standardized policy direction for trail safety management and derived the necessity of establishing subdivided standards according to environmental factors such as geology, topography, and visitor characteristics, even in national parks with similar environments. This study is expected to contribute to the improvement of trail safety management technology, enhancement of expertise, and prevention of damage to human life and property due to systematic safety management.
