Abstract

This study attempted to determine the division indexes which could identify mountain villages region at the eup and myeon administrative districts. The division indexes were selected first, by choosing variables which could show the characteristics of mountain villages region and permanent indicators, second, by verifying through the statistical analysis. According to the analysis, the division indexes of mountain villages region were the percentage of forest area and the mean altitude of villages; the percentage of forest area was more than 70% and the mean altitude of village was more than 250 meters in each administrative districts, or the mean altitude of village was over 400 meters. Mountain villages region divided by the division indexes was composed of 32.2% of total national area and 3.6% of total national population, respectively. Furthermore, the mountain region villages had the characteristics of severer depopulation and poorer agricultural base condition than those of the other regions.

본 연구는 면단위의 산촌지역 구분지표를 규명하기 위하여 수행되었다. 구분지표는 산촌지역의 특성을 대변할 수 있고, 시대변화에도 안정적인 인자를 선정하여 통계적인 검증과정을 통하여 설정하였다. 분석결과, 산촌지역의 구분지표로서 '임야율 70% 이상으로서 평균해발고 250m 이상이거나, 또는 평균해발고 400m이상인 지역'을 확정하였다. 이러한 구분지표에 의한 산촌지역은 전 국토면적의 32.2%, 전인구의 3.6%를 포함하는 국토공간상의 위치를 차지하고 있으며, 다른 지역에 비하여 인구 과소화가 극심하고 농업기반이 취약하다는 특징을 가지고 있는 것으로 나타났다.
