Geodiversity and geotourism utilization of islands: Gwanmae Island of South Korea

The island area has well preserved geodiversity and biodiversity due to minimal exposure to humans. UNESCO has maintained things and sites with geological importance as geoheritage. Although a number of natural heritages and national parks exist on ‘geological’ bases, geodiversity concepts are less concerned about biodiversity due to a lack of recognition. Recently, geotourism linked to geodiversity has been activated in worldwide and geopark programs have been established in many countries. These precedents offer good chances for the use of geoheritage and preservation of geodiversity. Geopark programs can lead to the preservation of geodiversity and public geoeducation through tour of geosites. In particular, it is necessary to understand oceanic nature and culture including islands through geoeducation programs used by geodiversity of islands. Gwanmae Island is the first luxury village named by the Korea National Park Service. This study suggests plans of geotourism by geosites with noticeable geodiversity of the island.

인화성물질에 대한 행정기관의 인식에 관한 연구

본 연구에서는 화재나 산불과 관련이 있는 인화성물질에 대한 정의와 해당행정기관의 인식에 대하여 조사하였다. 인화성물질과 관련된 법령과 행정규칙을 확인하고, 해당 행정기관의 민원을 이용하여 질의를 진행하였다. 답변을 정리하여 인화성물질에 대한 인식을 분석하였다. 그 결과, 행정기관마다 각각 다른 기준을 사용하였고, 16개 행정기관이 인화성물질은 불이 잘 붙는 성질을 가진 가연물로 인식하고 있었고, 국립공원관리공단은 불을 붙이는 물질인 점화원으로 인식하고 있다는 것을 확인하였다. This study investigated the recognition of administration and definition of flammable material related to fire or forest fire. Acts and administrative rule relating to flammable material was confirmed, and the civil complaint that the administration was conducted by using the query. Order to answer, the recognition about flammable material analyzed. As a result, other criteria for each administration was used, flammable material on 16 administration was recognized with combustible of the nature easily set on fire, Korea National Park Service has confirmed that it is recognized as a ignition source of inflaming substances.

국립공원 재난 및 안전관리 대책 수립에 관한 연구

1967년 지리산 국립공원이 지정된 이후 현재 우리나라 국립공원은 지속적인 발전으로 질적 양적 성장을 거듭하고 있다. 그러나 국립공원의 재난 및 안전관리에 관한 연구는 미미한 실정이며, 국립공원의 재난유형에 따른 재해 특성을 고려한 연구는 부족한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 국립공원의 재난 및 안전관리 현황과 문제점, 국가재난관리기준을 검토하였으며, 국립공원의 위치 지형적 특성에 따라 크게 산악 해안 도시공원으로 분류하여 자연 인적 사회적 재난 등 재난유형별 위험요소를 조사 분석하고 규명 평가하여 핵심위험도를 산정하였다. 모든 국립공원의 상위 3가지 핵심위험도는 인적재난으로 분류된 항목이 도출되었으며, 위험도 매트릭스를 분석한 결과 산악공원과 해안공원은 중간 정도, 도시공원은 낮은 정도의 위험도로 양호한 수준으로 나타났으나 사망 부상 등의 사고가 수백 건에 달함으로 이에 따른 국립공원의 효율적이고 체계적인 재난 및 안전관리를 위한 중 장기 대책수립이 필요하다고 판단된다. Korea National Park have been in the ongoing development since Jirisan National Park was designated in 1967. However, disaster and safety management of the National Park research on infancy, and according to the type of disaster, a disaster of national park considering the characteristics of studies are lacking.

GIS에 의한 3차원 동물서식도 제작

현재 세계에 밝혀진 생물종은 160만여 종으로 한국에 밝혀진 자생종은 3만여 종으로 기록되어 있으며, 한국 국립공원 생물종은 1만5천여 종에 이르고 있다. 이 중 한국 국립공원내 멸종위기종은 133종으로 전체 멸종위기종의 60%를 차지하고 있으며, 이들의 보호와 관리를 위해 실질적인 분포와 이들의 서식지 관계에 대한 것을 바탕으로 한 연구가 필요한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 지리산국립공원 내에 분포하는 동물 개체군을 대상으로 GIS 프로그램을 통해 주요 서식지를 등록하고, 3차원 서식도를 제작함으로써 국립공원에 서식 중인 동물의 보전과 관리를 위한 새로운 방안을 제시하고자 하였다. 동식물보호단 동물좌표 파일과 국립공원 경계 폴리곤파일 및 ASTER GDEM 수치표고모델을 이용하여 서식도를 제작하였다. 최신의 지형정보와 서식지정보의 융합을 통해 구축된 새로운 개념의 동물서식도는 향후, 동물의 종별 보호 관리 계획 및 서식지 보호 계획 시 유용한 정보로 활용될 것이다. At present, about 1.6 million bio-species have been discovered in the world. Approximately 30 thousand indigenes have been recorded in Korea and about fifteen thousand species of biology inhabit in Korea national park. Korea national park where has been lived 133 species at 60 percent of endangered species is a very important wildlife protection area. The construction of database about substantive distribution and habitat of wildlife is urgently needed to protect and manage endangered species. In this study, main habitats about animals were registered using GIS program in Jirisan National Park and 3 dimensional habitat map was produced. Also, new plan was suggested to preserve and manage animals in national parks by producing 3 dimensional habitat map. The habitat map was produced using coordinate file of animals, polygon file about boundary of national park, and ASTER GDEM. New conceptional animal habitat map will be used by means of the valuable information when the plans for preservation/management and habitat protection about animals are designed.

Distribution of Rare Plants and Endemic Plants in Jirisan National Park

The results of the study of the rare and regional species of the Jirisan (Mt.) Korea National Park has reported 3 CR species, including the Allium victorialis var. platyphyllum, 4 EN species, including Rhododendron tschonoskii, 7 VU species, including Cacalia pseudo-taimingasa, 11 LC species, including Lilium distichum, and 3 DD species, including Aconitum chiisanense, which makes a total of 28 species. In terms of species exclusive to the region, a total of 7 species, including Fraxinus chiisanensis, Pseudostellaria heterophylla, Filipendula formosa and Cirsium chanroenicum, were confirmed, and since they were distributed widely in the Jeonji region of Jirisan (Mt.), there was minimal damage. Since rare species are localized in the region of Agosan (Mt.), there has been continuous damage due to visitors and hikers to the area, and there seems to be the need to handle the decreasing habitat for Allium victorialis var. platyphyllum, Juniperus chinensis var. sargentii and Trientalis europaea.

韓国の国立公園における有料化の特徴と効果に関する研究

Pricing system can be an alternative plan to implement the reasonable utilization of National Parks in response to park overuse problem. The purpose of this study is to clarify the characteristics and the effect of pricing system in Korea National Park. Pricing system has merits ; (1) environment preservation by controlling the overuse (2) realization of improving park services, and (3) employment increases through affluent finances. The characteristics of pricing system in National Park of Korea are to enact legislation on pricing system since the early days of establishment of National Park, to strengthen management and service by establishment of professional institution, and to collect and regulate utilization fees by gate. Therefore, it seems practical to conclude that the pricing system of National Park of Korea is effective for overuse control and service and employment. Especially, it seems quite effective for overuse control in region which is crowded with user.

국내 지구공원 적지 가능성 연구: 변산반도 국립공원

유네스코의 지구과학분과는 세계적으로 지구과학적 유산을 알리기 위해 지구공원 프로그램을 개발해왔다. 본인은 한국에서 최초의 지구공원으로 변산반도국립공원을 제안하며 지구공원의 지정을 가능케하는 증거들을 제시하고자 한다. 변산반도 국립공원은 지질학적, 지형학적, 생태적, 문화적 자원들을 보유하고 있다는 장점이 있다. 채석강과 적벽강에는 과학적 흥미를 유발하는 많은 지질 및 지형학적 자원들이 부존되어 있다. 게다가, 변산반도 국립공원은 844종의 야생식물과 550종의 야생동물을 보유하고 있는 생태계의 보고이다. 내소사의 고려 동종과 개암사의 대웅전을 포함해서 문화유산도 풍부하다. 유네스코의 지구공원으로 지정되기 위해서는 환경부산하의 국립공원관리공단과 관련 지방자치단체 주도하에 지질, 지형, 생태, 문화자원외에도 지질관광의 운영계획도 요구된다. 상기한 조건들이 충분히 충족되면, 지구공원의 전지구적 네트워크가 한국에서 최초로 구축되리라 생각된다. The UNESCO`s earth science division has developed the geoparks program to recognize earth scientific heritage sites worldwide. To respond to this movement, I suggest Byeonsanbando National Park (BNP) as the first geopark in Korea and provide, at the same time, a line of evidence supporting the designation of geopark. BNP has the best qualifications with geological, geomorphological, ecological, and cultural resources. In Chaeseokgang and Jeokbyukgang, there are many geological and geomorphological resources attracting the scientific importance. In addition, BNP has a total of 844 species of wild plants and 550 species of wild animals. Cultural properties abound in BNP, including Koryo bronze bell of Naesosa and Taeungjon hall of Kaeamsa. To be designated a geopark by UNESCO, a management plan of geotourism will be required in addition to the geological, geomorphological, ecological and cultural resources, which should be prepared by the Korea National Parks Service and related local government authority. If the above-mentioned conditions are met completely, Korea would enter the global network of geoparks for the first time.

관광지질학 활성화를 위한 지질 및 지형경관자원 개발에 관한 연구 - 태안해안국립공원을 중심으로

국내에서는 자연 환경에서 발견되는 각종 지질 및 지형경관자원을 주 대상으로 내재적 가치를 이해시키고 자연보존을 촉진하는 지질관광에 대한 체계적이고 일관된 연구가 크게 부족한 실정이다. 본 연구는 관광지질학 활성화를 목적으로 지질관광 대상지역의 다양성 제고를 촉진하고 국립공원관리공단에서 제공하는 자연해설 프로그램의 다양화를 배가하기 위하여, 태안해안국립공원에 부존하는 지질 및 지형경관자원의 유형 및 분포상황을 조사하여 활용방안을 제시하는데 있다. 조사대상지역인 태안해안국립공원을 구성하는 지질 및 지형경관자원의 개체수 및 유형을 살펴보면, 총212개로서 해안지형<TEX>$\rightarrow$</TEX>풍화지형의 순서로 분포되어 있음을 알 수 있다. 상기 조사 자료는 지질학 및 지형학 전문가로 구성된 전문가집단과의 심도 있는 선별과정을 거쳐 일반대중에게 흥미와 과학의 이해를 돕는 지질관광 대상지역으로서 적극적으로 활용할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다. 아울러, 수요자 지향형의 지질관광대상지역 개발 활성화를 위해서는 지질 관광지역 방문객의 인구통계적 특성, 지질관광 대상지역에서의 방문객 행동특성, 지질관광대상지별 방문객 성별에 따른 방문객 행동성향비교 및 지질관광 프로그램 및 이벤트 개발을 위한 분석 등의 모니터링이 수반되어야 할 것이다. 그리고 지질관광 대상물에 대한 풍화도 평가 및 보존기술개발 등 지질공학적인 부분과 환경과학적 측면이 병행된 연구 노력이 이루어질 때 관광지질학의 활성화가 결실을 거둘 것으로 판단된다. In Korea, it is significantly deficient in the study about tourism geology, which is a new branch of applied geology that would support the growth of ecotourism world-wide. The objectives of this study include (1) the promotion in geodiversity of tourism geology using the data for type and distribution patterns of geological and geomorphological landscape resources and (2) the redoubling of diversity in the environmental interpretation programs offered by the Korea National Parks Service (KNPS). Our field study discovered 212 geological and geomorphological landscape resources distributed in the area of Taean seashore national park. Coastal topography is the most discovered type followed by weathering topography. It is our belief that the aforementioned resources can be utilized as a tourism geological site in assisting the public to understand geological science and to draw their attention and interests after sorting and filtering it out through discussions with geologists and geomorphologists of a consortium. Furthermore, in order to promote the activation of developing user-oriented geotourism sites, it is recommended to keep monitoring on demographical characteristics of geotourists, behavioral characteristics of geotouconrists within the geotourism site and ducting analysis for developing geotourism program and events. And, the research support of geological engineering dealing with the estimation of weathering degree and the development of conservation techniques for the object of geotourism along with the research of environmental science aspects will improve the activation of tourism geology.

보전적 측면에서 바라본 한국과 일본의 국립공원제도 비교

Korea's national park system resembles that of Japan in many ways. In this study, National park Systems of the two countries are compared from a standpoint of their historical backgrounds to be formed and in aspect of its conservation by the main revision of national park laws in perspective. In conclusion it was found out that Korea's toleration-based regulations on building park amenities have gradually neglected the park conservation effort, whereas Japan's authorization-oriented regulations have streng thened their emphasis on park conservation. From the comparison as above, the polices to be modified for Korean national park are proposed as follows: 1. National park system, which values diversity of species, is to be proposed. For this, the Article 8 which allows a development of National parks, Enforcement Ordinance Article 4, The Article 18 of Law, Enforcement Regulation Article 6 & 7 of National Park Law should be reviewed for deletion and revision. 2. On the basis of the laws, zoning system should be readjusted by discriminated conservation policy. Also, the readjustment of zoning system should be enforced after thorough analysis and research on the value of natural resources in the national park. 3. Korea should closely review the recently revised Japanese laws on the national parks and nature revitalization promotion for applying them to conservation policy of Korean national parks.
