Abstract

In Korea the number of forest fire occurrence and its damaged area have increased drastically and the plans for afforestation such as sound erosion control restoration and forestation have performed to restore for forest fire damaged area. In this study fire resistant forest was developed by selecting fire resistance tree species and applying GIS analysis, considering the characteristic of forest fire and location environment in forest fire damaged area along the east coast. Moreover, it showed the possibility of how spatial information technology such as virtual GIS could be applied during restoring forest fire damaged area and approaching landscape ecology researches. Especially the fire resistant forest was established by using GIS analysis against large scaled forest fires then the best forest arrangement was performed through this fire resistant forest species and 3D modeling in study area. In addition, the forest landscape was established through site index on passing years and then 3D topography and tracking simulation, which is very similar to real world, were constructed by using virtual GIS.

우리나라의 경우 1990년대에 들어와서 산불 발생건수 및 피해지역이 지속적으로 증가하고 있으며, 산불피해지 복원기술은 주로 사방복구와 조림 등 녹화기술에 집중되어 있는 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 동해안 산불피해지를 중심으로 GIS 분석 기법을 적용하여 산불피해지의 공간 특성과 입지환경을 고려하여 내화수림대를 조성기법을 개발하고 virtual GIS의 활용을 통하여 공간정보자료가 산불피해지역 복원에 있어서의 경관생태학적 접근연구에 어떻게 활용될 수 있는 것인가에 대한 적용기법을 개발하고자 하였다. 본 연구에서는 대형산불방지를 위해 GIS 분석기법을 적용하여 내화수림대를 조성하고, 조성된 내화수림대 및 연구대상지에 3D modeling 기법을 통하여 구축된 3D 수종을 적정하게 임분배치하였다. 아울러 지위지수분류곡선을 이용하여 연구대상지에 경년에 따른 산림경관을 조성하였으며, virtual GIS를 활용하여 현실세계와 가장 유사한 3차원지형을 구축하고 tracking simulation을 수행하였다.
