Abstract

The National Park Resource Survey has been conducted every five years under the Natural Parks Act. Currently, the fourth survey planned from 2019 to 2023 is being promoted. Research on geomorphological and geological resources in the landscape sector has been conducted since the 1990s, but it is difficult to compare and analyze survey resources by round because systematic and consistent survey standards are not applied compared to natural ecosystem surveys. In addition, as the concept of preservation and utilization of geoheritages have been changed since the introduction of geoparks, the need for an improved evaluation has emerged. The survey introduced evaluation standards and methods newly applied in the geomorphological and geological fields of the National Park Resource Survey from 2021. And discussed the effects of the revised evaluation on the geomorphological and geological heritage of Odaesan National Park. A total of 46 resources were surveyed in the Woljeongsa, Sogeumgang, and Gyebangsan districts of Odaesan National Park, and the distribution of all resources by grade was 2.2% for the first grade, 6.5% for the second grade, and 50% and 41.3% for the third and fourth grades, respectively, which account for more than 90% of the total. Class distribution and detailed survey results contribute to the qualitative and quantitative improvement of geomorphological and geological resource information, and could provide the basis for landscape resource surveys in other national parks.
